W3 graphics update

[Renovatio]

well, i think we want to change dota1 graphics i mean most of us does it imo. Since its not possible (cuz its connected directly to w3) icefrog etc. did DotA2 cuz as Jean said blizzard had stopped to update/support Warcraft 3. What i want to say is, can't we seperate dota"1" from w3?

Actually that is exactly what icefrog did but what about W3 hero models, skins, maps etc. stays same but just updated? Well yea i agree it makes no sense cuz we have already Dota2 but i dont know, it makes me think about it 

I had a similar ideea but I dont think I have enough knowledge to apply it. The game can be shrinked to have only the files needed to work for custom maps (DotA) and with some script editing the game's menu can be set only for 2 things: single player / dota AI practice and battle.net. This way we can have a standalone game ver of DotA 1. I dont know about others but for me makes sense to have a dota 1 remastered. I dont like dota 2 and I dont want different models for dota 1. I want a version of Dota 1 with remastered models that sticks to the originals, that takes around 1GB from disk space and doesnt require to much resources, so anybody can use it. I will try to rush it so I can post a video.

I've tried to make a video but I have some problems that I cant solve; even used 2 screen capturing softs (the whole screen gets a grey mask). I've made screenshots instead. This are different heroes than the ones that I posted in my 1st topic here (some of them may be the same). Collected them from 4 different websites. Credits go to their respective authors/ripers (I will make a list with them after I finish replacing all the heroes).


Sorry for saying that will be done in 5 days. I was busy, this isnt easy to make as I thought, I've compiled my own archives (using 30% of resources from the mod that I presented in my 1st post) and I keep discovering bugs.


About the models sizes: some will look to small, others to big (as Leoric and Pit, for example), it will be fixed.
About 4 models are from DotA 2, terrain looks familiar with DotA's 2, minimap is from DotA 2 (needs updated).

Spoiler for DotA 1 HD:

You should see their animations. Omni reads from his book when he is using spell, TerrorBlade gets in the air and morphs like in the Frozen Throne cinematic (3rd skill), etc  I'm pasting some close up screenshots now for heroes comparison: current models vs this HD models.

Jugger's healing ward is already changed, witch's death ward same, I have models for observer wards, serpent ward, etc, only sentry I need. Non-hero models that will be changed in the next 2 days: rocks, plants/flowers, neutral creeps, treants, nc camps, water, scourge twrs. Eventually all will be changed, even the main menu.

I have that model too but I want to stick to W3 classics. I have about 4GB of resources: textures, models (from mods, maps and individual). Some are made by amateurs but most of them are Blizzard (rips from Heroes of the Storm, Warcraft: Armies of Azeroth[SC2] and WoW); from DotA 2 I have everything but I am going to use only what I cant find at all (Tinker, for example. I have just one model with him and it sucks, I replaced him with the one from DotA 2)
