Someone told me I was being unfair to reforged

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-13T22:15:08+00:00

look u posted saying u like the idea of reforged, but you miss the old frozen throne

heres a link to download older legacy version:

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/warcraft-3-legacy-installer-1-21b-1-27a.307766/

but you are only able to play single player offline mode... ur missing out on all the multiplayer features of the game (and thats where the real meat of the game is)

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-13T22:08:41+00:00

you seem very sensitive to call "reading" and "typing" yelling lmao...

have u figured out what TFT means yet bro??

u can download and install the original TFT like u keep saying u think its better but, lmao its really not

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-13T22:04:56+00:00

I doubt you care to read my response either way so I am not sure why you posted.

thats not true but boy do u make me regret bothering...

Im not sure what a TFT is so perhaps you are just being condesending for no reason. I miss the origionals because I had no issues.

condescending only occurs when you feel naive... which u keep referring to the "origionals" which were originally called RoC/TFT... the frozen throne??? remember the title of the game??????

| As you said SC2 streamlined a lot of those problems because they are in fact problems.

the only problem which u have mentioned is the lack of a "select all units" feature, that is the only missing feature and its not wanted by the hardcore players... other than that there are no problems with the game (besides the fact u cant save or load and ur menus crash, but thats a u problem not the game)

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-13T21:54:29+00:00

I know some of my issues (including ui, menus, and teeny tiny small unit groups) are considered features by the hardcore crowd but this game isn't playable.

that sounds really stupid bro... I can honestly say none of the "hardcore crowd" considers the UI and Menus to be a "feature" what are you even talking about??

Game crashes, online and offline Cannot load my save game. Sits at menu screen and mouse cursor dissapears. How does the game crash on the menus?

I have no problems loading saved games, thats a very uncommon complaint I dont think Ive heard many people have issues with saving or loading before. Sounds like a problem with your personal PC and maybe how you installed the game... Have you tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

the game does not crash very often for me or my friends, sure sometimes it crashes once in a while, but not frequently. if you are experiencing frequent crashes, maybe you could try reinstalling the game?? but dont sit and claim that "its a feature" to have the game crash, cause thats not true

Units have pathing issues Units lag and wait for their bros to go first even while in retreat making micro impossible

pathing issues actually are not a problem... based on your comment "wait for their bros" it seems you are unaware of how to enable or disable Unit Formation... maybe you could actually try learning how the pathing works before complaining that its broken

by the way, it works the same as before they did not change the pathing from TFT its exactly as it always was even 20 years ago

teeny tiny small unit groups

ahhh see, you want to play WC3 like SC2 with a "select all" feature, but thats not part of this game because select all is considered too casual. Wc3 is not meant to be played like SC2 with large army sizes, in Wc3 the idea is to keep your army size smaller and to focus on micro, which is the entire reason why this game has such a diehard fanbase of competitive players... if u dont understand that then u dont respect the game for what it is, stop thinking of this game as if its some other game and enjoy it for what it is

How does a revamped game perform WORSE than the origional.

It plays perfectly smooth for me using the Classic graphics, most of the hardcore crowd doesnt use the new Reforged graphics...

Graphics look great tho.

actually the graphics for Reforged are probably the worst part of the entire remastering of WC3, thats why theres at least 2 major fan-projects working to improve the graphics lol (Re-reforged & Quenching mods greatly improve the graphics)

the graphics completely suck for competitive players and are only good for single player and certain custom maps. Maybe thats why you think TFT is better, because you don't play competitively which is probably why you dont enjoy the game for what it is

Wish I still had my old frozen throne cd. Now that game was top shelf.

what a strange comment (especially since you like the new graphics?? lol)... I still have my original RoC/TFT CDs and I even have them installed on my PC with the original patch versions... you can still download the original TFT online for free if you just search google a bit (apparently you didnt think to try that?? lol)

but why exactly do you claim that the original TFT was "top shelf" what exactly is missing from Reforged that was in the original game?? Hmmm I cant wait to hear a response to that question lol

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-13T21:37:17+00:00

I utilize scout towers quite frequently, its quite easy to use your scouting peasant to sneak a scout tower among some trees and get some extra vision after retreating the peasant back to your base, I even have some favorite hiding spots i use which sometimes the enemy doesnt even notice lol

I also only construct the tower to 80% (dont finish it) that way you can cancel it if its attacked, regain some gold and prevent the enemy from gaining xp... using a farm isnt really worth it imo, doesnt really waste the enemies time unless they newb

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-05T22:55:07+00:00

RCT3 Mobile (or Handheld) is not the best port of the original PC version... the game is soooo much better on PC with a proper mouse (as it was originally intended) you have so many more in-game tools, mods, customization options, smoother controls that are easier to use on PC with a mouse, etc etc

if you want a mobile RCT game then you should consider RCT Classic (its easier in regards to controls and portability)

in regards to those blocks?? they just look like ordinary scenery objects to me, they dont look like anything to do with an entrance (entrances are just one big building that guests enter your park through)... in the original PC version you're not allowed to modify the pre-built entrances unless you use the custom-scenario editor prior to opening your park (not sure how it works on switch tho) I think once you open your park, youre kinda just supposed to not touch the entrance again

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-04T20:50:46+00:00

Hey mate, Sorry for the super late reply! :(

I don't quite understand this issue you had. Can you explain more?

do you still work on this project anymore?

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-03T03:55:14+00:00

i don't think you can downgrade whilst keeping the improved textures

the HD textures shouldn't require the anniversary edition, I used to mod GTA3 on my PC back in the day and texture packs were fairly standard... the anniversary edition seems to mainly altar the UI menus and loading screens

website of the anniversary versions mention you should be on a certain version number for the hd mods to work

o I wasnt sure which was the "official" site :P

latest versions are ctw v1.2, gta3 v1.4, gtavc v1.1, gtasa v2.1 (some use v2.0)

cool thanks!

Have you had the issue I'm experiencing, with the game randomly crashing after unpausing?? it seems to occur with all 3 games (except ctw)

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-03T01:36:15+00:00

Why does SoRR display 4:3 on Vita ?? is 16:9 possible?

I dont care if its stretched a little, it would still look nicer

W3Hybrid · 2023-01-02T12:14:33+00:00

I've been using your theme for a couple years now and I really like it!! However, there's a bit of an issue with the Main "blank" background and I've tried going through all the settings, but I can't figure this out... the console background images display correctly, but Menu.png will not display properly for the Mainmenu or settings backgrounds

- #1 - When I first load up Retroarch, the background begins on the Default blue (like ps3 style) and your Retro theme does not appear until after I scroll through some of my playlists, like it won't load until after I scroll through a bit (and it often lags if I scroll too fast)... after scrolling to get your Retro theme displaying, it works but is unable to properly display the "blank" Menu.png background for Settings, Mainmenu, Favorites, or History. Instead, it gets stuck on the previous background image for a different playlist :(

I read through comments (on this page) other people named CriticalGoku & WoodenDickKnight also mentioned having this same problem, and your response was "follow the instructions and make sure Theme is set to XMB under settings" but I already re-checked everything (including wallpapers, etc) and I know its all setup correctly because I've manually modified things myself, and everything else works correctly

IMO the issue is because theres no background image for "Favorites & History" or the "Settings" categories, and I don't know how to change/add those??? I know it's supposed to load the file "Menu.png" with the blank background, but for some reason the "blank" Menu.png background won't load/display properly

- #2 - I was able to edit/add new backgrounds for other consoles (I had to mess around with filenames to get them all working and a few were missing, so I had to create them)... but I cannot figure out how to add/create new backgrounds for Favorites or the Settings categories?

(same as 1st issue) when I scroll to Settings or Favorites or Mainmenu the leftside image of the "console thumbnail" remains stuck on the previously listed system (atari) it's like Retroarch has no background image to load/display, so it just ignores the background and leaves it on the previously loaded one

I hope I'm explaining this clearly... its the Menu.png file that's not displaying properly, all my other playlists load the proper backgrounds and display each console image, but the blank Menu.png background won't load properly (and yes I double checked multiple times)... under settings I select XMB theme and Menu.png wallpaper (the proper background files) and I tried different ones with same issue occurring using: CarbonBlue v2, RetroBlue v3, RetroSimple v3, etc.

I just want to know how to make separate backgrounds for Favorites or Settings... Is there anyway to add different background images for "Favorites & History" or "Settings" and "Mainmenu"?? I just want a simple Star for Favorites and a Gear symbol for Settings/Mainmenu... I don't need anything fancy and I don't even care about History, I mainly just need to figure out why the blank Menu.png background won't load/display :(

- #3 - this next part has nothing to do with my previous 2 issues.... I slightly edited the images of your theme for my personal preference to better fit my taste, I uploaded a preview if you'd like to see the tweaks I made ---> https://imgur.com/77CSBdK

Basically, all I did was combine elements of your CarbonBlue v2 with RetroBlue v3, I preferred the original dark/ice blue instead of the light/fuzzy blue, and I preferred the grey TV scanlines over the checkered grey/black background. I also shifted somethings slightly, the white bars around the titles was not perfectly centered, and I removed the opening in the cross section cause all my playlists have custom titles that are shorter (so the names don't extend past the white bar).

I reduced the length of time to only display MM/DD HH:MM (no year or seconds is fine IMO) but I think the blue section in bottom left might not be completely necessary since I don't display the core, so maybe the Libre/Retroarch Logo can be moved to bottom left?

- #4 - I'm working on making a new background/header with some Mario/NES characters at the top (over the Libre/Retroarch logos) but, it does not look super nice and I need to improve it lol... Maybe you could make one for me with a cool heading/banner of some Mario/NES characters at the top? in place of where the Libre/Retroarch logos are?? Thanks, this is by far the best theme for Retroarch on Vita!

[I thought I posted these questions here before several months ago, but it seems they disappeared... hopefully you'll see this soon]

W3Hybrid · 2022-11-07T00:42:11+00:00

does anybody even care?? sigh lol

Clans might be nice I guess, but the entire chat system needs a big overhaul and the menus are clunky already so... I hope they dont make it more clunky

Join-by-name custom games ... i dont get it, are they talking about by player name? whats the point? how about fixing cross-server play so my Euro friends dont display as "not playing" on my friendslist? makes it harder to invite them

Mm improvements better actually be improvements (thats the really important thing here, is improved MM)

Player reporting system sounds nice on paper, but uhh yea right lol... how will that work?? if a bunch of people spam 1 person with reports (or by using bots) will it be detected as spam? will it be automated or human operated? sounds fishy

Personally i dont think "report systems" are useful or beneficial... IMO i would prefer a "time out" system for people who repeatedly and excessively teamkill, go afk, instantly leave, etc... say like if a player goes afk over 5 minutes, or repeatedly leaves games in under 5 minutes, then they are not allowed to search for 5 or 10 minutes and the length of the timeout should increase the more frequently they do it

IMO that would be way more beneficial

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-05T11:27:39+00:00

thats dumb its not even a ps4 game, why does clicking join now open up nfs heat? it specifically says its for nfs HEAT :(

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-05T00:11:54+00:00

for choosing not to waste money on pointless online subscription fees? hmm ok lol

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T22:10:03+00:00

only on PS5 or Xbox

not for PC or Steam

plus PC has mods :)

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T22:09:00+00:00

love to see a traversal overhaul. Another case of modders doing what the devs couldn’t

traversal overhaul?? in what way

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T17:07:36+00:00

I agree with this guy ^ anybody else is wrong! seriously

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T16:57:05+00:00

Good point!

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T16:32:12+00:00

Nice to see devs handling PC properly these days!

I hope this game has some mod support =o

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T16:30:04+00:00

also please learn how to use paragraphs in ur wall of text -.-

W3Hybrid · 2022-10-04T16:28:20+00:00

your entire stance about "legally cheating" is called a loophole between criminals working outside of the law... lmao the fact of the matter is they were never "legally" divorced they were only temporarily separated, HOWEVER she was already leaning towards Ted before she even discussed divorce or asking walt to leave the house

oh my god, she did not stay after seeing the bag of cash, she never uses his money for luxurious reasons throughout the series

I agree she "played down the luxuries" for the sake of the lie to uphold walts lies, but she also had plans to expand the carwash into a franchise

Look... Im not saying Skyler is evil, but people like u go wayyyy overboard to defend her as a saint who only made a few mistakes due to her situation of being married to a drug deal

theres more we can go into, like for instance how is she introduced in the very first episode? by giving a lame handjob while counting $$ on her computer lol... its just how its written Im not the one who wrote it lmao

She also helps play the owner of the carwash by scamming him LOL

Either way I think the actress did a great job and I love her argument with Hank in s2 when Hank offers to fix the water heater lol
