Warcraft Nirvana(1.1) file

A lot of the hacks this mod used in order to fill out its features won't work with current WC3, and the mod was more or less done previously anyway (just some bugs here and there mostly). There are alternatives for current WC3 for a lot of the stuff they are doing, some exciting breakthroughs have been made by the great people at The Hive Workshop, but it would require them to heavily update the mod in order to make use of that and it may not really be worth it. To top that off, a lot of the custom models they use obviously don't have HD ports and it would be a shame for this mod to not support HD all things considered.

So, it's very unlikely this mod will be updated to modern WC3, but that's okay in my opinion. This mod was pretty revolutionary for its time and is easily a classic must-play mod to me, in the same vain that Dark Evolution is a classic must-play mod for Brood War. It'll just be a little painful to set up because it will require you to have a separate installation is all. :)

Does Reforged work well on LAN now?
I'm not convinced you'd have been better off updating to reforged.
Too bad they felt the need to change so much internally that all the mods aren't compatible anymore either.

I wonder if people are still able to go back to pre-reforged.

Most *maps* are still pretty compatible, but this mod injects its own code into WC3 and it uses a graphics mod called RenderEdge which also does that, and thus in order for it to do that on modern WC3 they'd have to find the correct new addresses and stuff like that in order to hack the features back in. Now, that may not be entirely necessary because modern WC3 actually can natively support a lot of the features they were previously hacking in, but to change the mod so drastically in that way would be pretty time consuming.

Since the mod is done, according to the last upload by the actual mod author (which this file is not), updating it to modern WC3 is about all they could really do for the mod. But doing that would be a pretty big undertaking.

Suppose it'd be a criminal hack to alter the reforged patch to only apply the graphical part of the update, but it would preserve all the desired features. I'm pretty sure it won't happen since Blizzard is so ready to sue people.

Thank you for the update! I would like to play this mod, and I still have the disks. Does this mean that I can simply install the old disks, and then have the old game Warcraft 3? And then also use this mod?
