The Hunger Games WoW Project

[paragraph:1wfg1q1l]The Hunger Games project is a server that is built around a single game mode. It utilises a Warcraft 3 styled interface for matchmaking inspired by the old . This is the only game mode that can be played on the server.[/paragraph:1wfg1q1l]
[paragraph:1wfg1q1l]Upon starting a game, every player starts as the same generic class with equal stats and items at random locations on the map. The objective is to be the last person standing as you only have one life. There is a lot of PvE content within the island that will help you make your character stronger in order to defeat other players.[/paragraph:1wfg1q1l]
[paragraph:1wfg1q1l]Players can use and unlock 'perks'. Each player can have up to 4 perks which will benefit them in a game. A image of perk selection can be seen below:[/paragraph:1wfg1q1l]

[paragraph:1wfg1q1l]A day and night cycle (24 hours) takes 20 minutes exactly to pass in the game. There are different mechanics and perks that will benefit you at certain times of the day.[/paragraph:1wfg1q1l]
[paragraph:1wfg1q1l]This project is a small and casual one. The primary objective is to get the first map done and playable with ranked and unranked play and leaderboards. This project is great because it can be extended easily with updates, such as allowing for different map selection and new mechanics and features.[/paragraph:1wfg1q1l]

Amazing job!

All of this just editing server source files and MPQs? No custom WoW.exe build?

A custom WoW executable binary is required to allow for edits to the FrameXML and GlueXML files.

I see someone used the files I gave them ! I was trying to remake the Dota one and to get that part to work the create game part, looks like you figured it out. Great Job.

Errr, no. Not at all. This is written from scratch. Last time I looked at the DoTA WoW files they were too difficult to understand due to a lack of commenting and a complicated structure. And I haven't had those files for over a year.

If you compare the videos, the interfaces are actually very different.

Woaw ! This looks so amazing, it makes me want to try it so much ! There are so many ways to make something awesome out of this !

 Though I understand the perks system, I would like to know : What will be the spells common to everybody ? Warrior spells ? Or something new  ?
And how will players unlock perks ?

The Create Account button on the login screen is a great touch.

Do you plan to replace the character select UI with your custom queue UI at some point?

While this is possible, no. It would be quite some work and there is little point when it is so much easier to do from within the world.

Perks are universal, yes. Classes do not exist on this server. Perks can be unlocked through achievements, such as winning X games, completing certain objectives, doing certain tactics... The perk unlocking system gives progression and (hopefully) stops players feeling overwhelmed.

Can't wait for this. Is there going to be a testing phase? Is this still active?

Looks like a great idea! I'd play it

Dead since summer really, got matchmaking and most UI work including leaderboards etc done. But I lost motivation fast - WoW is so stupidly slow to develop for as you are constantly hacking everything. And WoD is such a better game I want to be working with that functionality not this crappy old engine.
