Adding Custom Selectable Races

[Kaido Marahu]

As the title suggests, I would like to know how to add a Custom race to the Race selection screen, whilst still having all the others selectable. Would that be remotely possible? I'm going out on a limb here to say that it COULD be possible with a lot of coding and modeling etc?

+Rep to anyone who can give me a decent answer!

Model edits and lots of coding. I would suggest going to the model editing section and asking there first.

it's indeed POSSIBLE. It requires lots and lots of knowledge of C++, how the game is put together, and not even to mention the amount of time (remember Blizz has hundreds of coders working on this kind of thing, and it even takes them forever to get it right :P).. Also it would require server core edits, and the release of (a) custom .MPQ patch(es) for each client that would be logging in to the server using this

tho not what you're looking for, it might be a suggestion to try modify a different race first to your demands before starting from ground zero

Best of luck

Thanks alot! This is the answer i was looking for i guess.
More time than its worth it seems, I'll stick to basic model editing then! Thanks!!
