Is War3... dead?
« on: January 24, 2015, 07:58:09 AM »
Hey there,

I'm new to the forums as I was having a lot of fun on a WCS that I frequent and wanted to make my own, simply to mess around and kill some bots with a knife for fun. I've been able to get the server up and running, and eventually got War3 to run, but there's nowhere that I can find that has additional races. Is there a more active website that I don't know about?

We have an additional races forum here, but the latest post is from 2012 or 2013 I think, and any race in the "Approved" section is already packaged. This seems like such a dead community for something that's incredibly fun. Am I missing something?

or people are content with what they have

races are hard to keep up to date if the original author leaves

some servers have their own forums. this forum is mostly for developers

The following is a message from me and not from war3source.com website:


I've was thinking of working on a project to allow you to develop your own races, but I'll only work on it if the project is funded.  I don't just want to work on something like this because I do not personally "need" this project.  I can write my own races.

If you would like to donate to our servers, and tell us specifically the donation is to go towards developing a race creator for war3source, then I'll be more than happy to work on the project.

Here is an example what it will look like:

https://war3evo.info/war3source/
^ this is an example only, and is not currently working.

If you want this project to work, please donate to the War3Evo community.

Donate here: https://war3evo.info/donation/index.php and when it brings you to a thank you page, for your "Optional: Message"  enter in: "For War3Source Race Creator".

The more funding this project gets, the more harder I will work on this project.


Reasons why I will not work on it free:

* I am currently developing other projects for other communities, and I do not have much time to dedicate it to free projects.

* I can create races on my own and do not need this project.

* I currently do not have a job, I go to school, and I use these funds to keep War3Evo community servers running.


Projects I work for others start at a $25 minimum.  Donations less than $25, I will wait until it adds up to $25 before I begin working on that project.

P.S. I'm not the original creator of War3Source, and I've started working on my private copy since 2010.

So you are posting on the dev website, essentially asking for money.  Lame duck is lame...
