Warcraft 3 Changelog

[thorgot 2420]

This is a thread where we can announce changes and additions. Not every little thing will be announced here, just things we think are interesting or important.

[thorgot 2420]

The XP curve was changed to be an actual curve. It is now easier to gain levels at first, and harder to gain them starting around level 40. In other words, getting to level 15-20 is much easier, maxing out races is a bit easier, and getting to level 100 (or higher) is much harder. This will make expertise more meaningful as we start to add some of those to give people to shoot for after maxing out races.

 

Here's a picture:

 

 

Shoot, I forgot to change "Chart Title".

[thorgot 2420]

Added Sensei Golden-Tail, Fox Samurai.

Fixed a bug where you couldn't buy grenades with a silenced weapon.

[thorgot 2420]

Added Archimonde yesterday, added Jarmen Kell today. Fixed a bunch of bugs this weekend too.

[thorgot 2420]

Mimic and I have fixed the ad problem for the foreseeable future.

 

If you're wondering what was happening, there's been an exploit in CSGO for a long time that people were using to upload an ad plugin to the server (and many other CS:GO servers in the world). We've added an extension which completely blocks this. We would never put ads or anything like that on our servers.

I neglected to add that SuccubusPimp was added; Thorgot had to recompile it for me due to my compiling against a newer version of csgo. this caused issues for other races and is now resolved. I did go in to restrict health, speed, and jump items for the race. 

[MrCoolness 547]

nerfed/buffed a bunch of stuff - results will be pushed in a few days time.

 

Special thanks to Ika. for bringing these things to my attention.

Succubus pimp??? the fuk?

• I think I fixed the headshot evasion
• I think I fixed the ult? Now blinds all enemies in a 50 ft radius around the player (instead of just one in front of you like before, regardless of whether that player was looking at you or not)

• Increased range of Ult from 30 ft to 50 ft

All description files were changed accordingly

[thorgot 2420]

Thor is fixed and is back at level 350.

[thorgot 2420]

Wizard of the Everlasting will awake from his slumber at midnight at the start of the contest.

 

e: He has awoken.

[thorgot 2420]

Trickster Assassin is out and working. I need to figure out some more barrel models that can be used as prop_physics, and the expertise isn't done, but it should be good for now.

[thorgot 2420]

Methodical is out. Try and max out the 25hp expertise!

 

Sadly, it wasn't feasible to go to negative xp or to lose levels, but I think you'll find it odious enough to level.

[thorgot 2420]

Added invis, gravity, and speed to playerinfo. Long overdue.

[thorgot 2420]

Silenced weapons are now saved by crusader's wish.

 

This was a more difficult change than you might think.

[thorgot 2420]

Enchanted Chainmail (-6 damage) is a go thanks to Jiyeon's event prize.

[thorgot 2420]

Reenabled KJ (because it doesn't seem to be crashing any more).

[thorgot 2420]

Glockness Monster

[thorgot 2420]

 

Sad note: this expertise almost as long as the race did. But totally worth it.

[thorgot 2420]

($1000) Dwarven Sunglasses - Reduces flash duration by 75%.

 

The defense category had too many items to fit on one page, so I split it into Magic Defense and Defense. If you had your binds to buy items using numbers, you may have to change them. I'd recommend using the item's name (found on the shopinfo page for each).

[thorgot 2420]

Devious Flimflammer added.

[thorgot 2420]

Displacer Beast added.

[thorgot 2420]

Ranger of the Woods added, a WCS1 race.

[thorgot 2420]

Added Adventurer, everybody's (second) favorite 80-level race.

[thorgot 2420]

Added Shopkeeper, everybody's true favorite 80-level race.

[thorgot 2420]

Preemptive patch notes:

• Added Priest.
• Added Remilia Scarlet.
• Added Anti Mage.
• Double XP for the event.
• Note that these three races will have a higher minimum level and a max per team after the event ends.
• Made !respawn_spawn/!respawn_none/!respawn_normal a cookie so it across sessions.
• Added spendskills options which is also a cookie that persists across sessions.
  • !spendskills_always - display the spendskills menu automatically if you have available skill points (like it currently does) or if it's opened manually.
  • !spendskills_on_level - only display the spendskills menu when you level (if you have available skill points) or if you open it manually.
  • !spendskills_never - the only time spendskills will pop up is if you type spendskills or choose it through a menu.
• You can view your cookies and their setting with sm_cookies in the console.
• Crusader's Wish always lasts until the next round now, even if you respawn any number of times.
• Fixed buggy visual Fire Damage (fire appearing after someone dies)

• I think I fixed master sniper kills sometimes not showing person who died. Let me know if other races need this fix!

 

[thorgot 2420]

Added Khan's fourth choice for item, an ammo regen, after coding his previous three choices and finding them not to work in CS:GO.
