Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne:Frequently Asked Questions
From Warcraft 3 Half-Life MODs
Configuration
How do I save XP?
In the configuration file (war3ft.cfg) set mp_savexp to 1.
What is the difference between long term and short term xp?
Short term experience is not saved, so with each map change you have to re-earn you experience. Also, when you gain experience and change races on short term, the experience gained stays with you. In long-term mode, you have to gain experience for each race individually. This experience is also saved so you can rejoin the server later and continue (unless the server admin deleted your experience).
How do I choose my language?
When you're in the game, type amx_langmenu in the console.
Is CS 1.5 supported?
No.
What mods are supported?
Counter-strike, Condition Zero and Day of Defeat.
Will this work on a listen server?
Yes it does, the installation is almost identical to a normal installation.
Is it possible to use bots with war3ft?
Yes, try using podbot at bots united.
Can the Orc grenades be disabled?
Yes. Any map name placed into the file addons/amxmodx/configs/war3ft/disable/skill_orc_nade.cfg will not have Orc grenades. Wildcards are allowed.
How do I change the prices of the shopmenu items?
For version 3.0 and higher
The values near the top of addons/amxmodx/scripting/war3ft/items.inl can be changed, but any change will require a recompile of the entire plugin.
ITEM_COST[ITEM_ANKH] = 1500; // Ankh of Reincarnation
ITEM_COST[ITEM_BOOTS] = 2500; // Boots of Speed
ITEM_COST[ITEM_CLAWS] = 1000; // Claws of Attack
ITEM_COST[ITEM_CLOAK] = 800; // Cloak of Shadows
ITEM_COST[ITEM_MASK] = 2000; // Mask of Death
ITEM_COST[ITEM_NECKLACE] = 800; // Necklace of Immunity
ITEM_COST[ITEM_FROST] = 2000; // Orb of Frost
ITEM_COST[ITEM_HEALTH] = 1000; // Periapt of Health
ITEM_COST[ITEM_TOME] = 4000; // Tome of Experience
ITEM_COST[ITEM_SCROLL] = 6000; // Scroll of Respawning
ITEM_COST[ITEM_PROTECTANT] = 1500; // Mole Protectant
ITEM_COST[ITEM_HELM] = 3000; // Helm of Excellence
ITEM_COST[ITEM_AMULET] = 1500; // Amulet of the Cat
ITEM_COST[ITEM_SOCK] = 1500; // Sock of the Feather
ITEM_COST[ITEM_GLOVES] = 1750; // Flaming Gloves of Warmth
ITEM_COST[ITEM_RING] = 1000; // Ring of Regeneration + 1
ITEM_COST[ITEM_CHAMELEON] = 4500; // Chameleon
ITEM_COST[ITEM_MOLE] = 16000; // Mole
// Item costs are a little different for DOD
if ( g_MOD == GAME_DOD )
{
ITEM_COST[ITEM_SCROLL] = 800;
}
For any version before 3.0:
The prices are stored at the bottom of constants.inl. The values can be changed, but the plugin must then be recompiled.
new const itemcost[9] = {1500,2500,1000,800,2000,800,2000,1000,4000}
#if MOD == 0
new const itemcost2[9] = {7500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1750,1000,9000,16000}
#endif
#if MOD == 1
new const itemcost2[9] = {800,1500,550,1500,1500,1750,1000,9000,16000}
#endif
Other
Will this work for Counter-Strike Source?
No.
I have an idea for a new race, will you add it?
No.
What is the difference between amx and amxx?
What is the chameleon race?
It is a 9th race added by bad-at-this that will allow server administrators to either SET the skills for that race, or the skills will be randomly chosen each round. To set the skills, you may do so in your war3FT.cfg file.
Where do I find information on how to bind my keys?
Click here and scroll to the bottom.
Where is there a list of the skills and abilities?
Here.
How do I use abilities?
98% of the skills are automatic. Ultimates need to be activated by binding a key to ultimate (see the binding question above). The only skill that requires another bind is serpent wards (Shadow Hunters have these). For this you need to bind a key to ability.
What is the difference between war3ft, war3x, war3, and uwc3?
Why will the helm of excellence not work?
Because you're running statsme. You must disable statsme to allow helm to work (there is no way around this).
Why am I receiving "Client CVAR querying is not enabled - check MM version!"?
Because you are not using the latest metamod OR you are running the server on a 64-bit machine OR you are using a pirated version of steam.
