WCS:Python

This is the Classic, Fully Customizable, WarCraft:Source Mod. Rewritten in python for speed and functionality. It is written By: Fredukes and Myself. We have worked hard to make fully customizable and user friendly. We are always happy to hear user input and add any features you find yourself wanting!

In this first copy of WCS:Python release publicly we are packaging 8 races 4 written By: Fredukes and 4 written By: J3ff.

8 Races Include:
Undead Scourge
Human Alliance
Orcish Horde
Night Elf
Pandaren Brewmaster
Priestess of the Moon
Shadow Hunter
Warden

Races are now written each in their own separate file each as a separate script! Races can be written in ESS or ESP, and writing in either one gives you access to all of our custom commands.

Anyone looking for more races to add to their server should check out this:
WCS:Python Races

For those wishing to learn how to write races for this wonderful mod check out our WCS:Python Wiki that Fredukes was kind enough to put together for all of us. It contains everything that you need to get started. Anyone who finds themselves liking this and writing more races for it please post them so everyone can enjoy your work!

Installing a custom race on your server:

I am going to use my Naga as an example of installing a custom race not packaged with the base WCS:Python download.

First go into your .addons/eventscripts/wcs/races/ folder. Now create a folder called the capitalization is important here! It must be the same as the file and race name you are about to use! Now download load the Naga.py file. And place it in the .addons/eventscripts/wcs/races/Naga/ folder.

Add the line

GeSHi (eventscripts):
wcs load "Naga"

to your WCSRaceLoader.cfg in your .addons/eventscripts/wcs folder.

Reboot your server and you are done

As always feel free to post any questions you may have about particular things within the mod itself.

And report and bugs or balance issues you may find.

This mod is the same as the current WCS in the styling of skills... the core races just have slightly different skills. How much you let them get to before they max out is up to you...

Please to not make ignorant statements. They make you appear very stupid.

~J3ff

Again this is up to the server owners... Even in 0.7x a server owner could OP everything on his box and it would be his fault.


~J3ff

False. Again a stupid person making an ignorant statement...

Convert your 0.77 saves to WCSP saves
Convert your 0.70-0.75 keygroup saves to WCSP saves
Running keygroup races (0.7x races) in WCSP

As you can see WCSP coders/server owners can use all the 0.7x stuff but u cannot use any of ours. (And WCSP will handle the old stuff at around 2k times faster!)

That is your choice enjoy your lag and server dumps.

~J3ff

As of 0.8.5h around 35% of races for 0.7x work in WCSP the current private beta copy of 0.8.6 has almost 70% of them working - and I will have at least 90% of them working before I go public with it.

~J3ff

my opinion is mostly like teachercreatures cause if you have to recode all the existing stuff noone would be happy bout it
the phyton code itself seems to be an easy way to code the races and i think i d like it es and est are kind of difficult if you dont code every day

and i got some questions also
1. what is ment by level interval
2. for me it seems that every skill can have an other amount of levels is that true or was i just not looking deep enaugth in            the code?

If you make Tiered race ladder I will switch to pure python..

Like different classes of races...

Like u cant just be levle 40 to use flame predator u have to get 40 levels in only knife races !

u do that and I am on board
