You serious with this?

if mother tought me anything worth remembering then its probably "never trust a lazy leecher"

[Hurkatolto]

this game is shit

I pay 2500 euro via PayPal to who makes a working AI difficulty system and so we can choose which heroes we want in our and enemy team. PM me for more info if you don't trust me.

You serious with this?

Yes, I am serious.

I doubt anyone will do this :> Just wait for a Beta

I updated the website with torrent files. I'll be seeding them.

Torrent client downloads

So no more file deletions.

Share and Seed !

Is there any way to make the talents not autopick/level?

Why does AVG say to me that there is a DLL-file which is detected as virus?

The number 1º priority right now is a way to switch the AI difficulty, there is someone working on that?

I'm willing to throw some donations via paypal or however, to whoever can get the AI difficulty changed and I suggest if it's possible for someone to do it we all throw donations their way for their work, I know it cant be easy.

i disagree, the #1 priority should be a way to play with other players no need for an AI when you have people

no one has said anything [at least here that im aware of] of whats being worked on but if im understanding the thread correctly
WE ARE MISSING THE FILES REQUIRED FOR THE SMARTER AI

a recap on why or what would need to be done

1. All maps - probably not going to happen. There are bits and pieces here and there, but the majority of those maps simply haven't been created or weren't included. I found some files referencing a battle between Arthas and Muradin (another tutorial level? or maybe a scrapped tutorial?), but it's very incomplete.

2. Alternate costumes/mounts, choosing bot difficulty, choosing talents, choosing teammates/enemies: This shouldn't be very difficult once the file format is completely reversed because all of this is controlled by the map's MapScript.galaxy file. We first need access to the compiled StormMap files. They are currently compiled on the fly by Blizzard, so that process must be reverse engineered. After that's done, somebody would need to make a small tool to alter parts of the StormMap quickly - shouldn't be hard because the hex offsets will never change since the StormMap is static. Additionally, Ladik's libraries for MPQs also work for SC2Maps (and therefore almost certainly work for StormMaps). This will require time but not an -incredible- amount, so somebody will probably do it eventually.

3. Online/LAN Play: I have no idea. It's going to require the file format to be fully reversed, just like #2, but it will also need much more work done, specifically to the exe. This may be nearly impossible because it would require somebody with a lot of skill and a lot of time to waste (only a small community will use a leaked alpha).


Edit: With some serious tweaking, Heroes could be made to run in SC2 directly as a custom map. I'm doing a little work on it atm. I've recompiled a ton of bits and pieces of one of the maps and recreated it as an SC2Map. It loads, but again, need full reversal of file format to get all the models/textures - right now it's just a blank black map.

All Heroes files are already included - they get downloaded from the FTP and then combined into those massive data.000, data.001, and data.002 files. Accessing alternate costumes/mounts could probably be done with memory editing, but it would take a lot longer to get working than hero selection.

I was told it's not possible to host games and play with others.

First time i've been told there were no files at all for the smarter AI, guess that's out of the window then. I by no means no what im talking about at all, but, if the bots on your own team are a difficulty of 4 and the bots on AI team are a difficulty of 3, is it not possible to make all the bots at level 4? Since there is already "files" for level 4 difficulty?

correct me if im wrong in any of this

there was a post made by tom im trying to find it

AI for your own team has higher difficulty.

can we get this compiled? i do not have the hard drive space to even install a compiler...

No. To get working map we need all files. I only have galaxy scripts.

i dont know what he was talking about when he said galaxy scripts. i thought it was the map at first but it seems to be a file type
its clear were missing files or scripts in the stuff

but there are 2 lines of code that are interesting

        libAIAI_gf_HeroAISetAIDifficultyLevel(lv_indexPlayer, 3); // <- enemy team
    }
    libCore_gv_tUTTalentsAutobuyOn = true;
    return true;
}

[Kipx]

I'm not a programmer at all, and this seems like a way to easy solution...but, can we not just change that 3 on the enemy team to a 4?

[givemhell]

i would of thought so but i think tom would of tried
or he may of overlooked it

[givemhell]

id try it but i dont have the space or the things to start recompiling to test it either
