War3Source brings the Warcraft 3 leveling style and races into the game. It is originally based on the amxmodx (AMX) version War3FT.

Each standard race has total of 16 levels, made up of 3 skills and 1 ultimate where each skill/ultimate can be leveled 4 times for a total of 16 levels.

War3Source features a modular design where races can be coded independently and loaded into the main plugin. Independent plugins (Addons) can be created to complement or change aspects War3Source.

There are also items in W3S as there are in all Warcraft mods.

War3Source is written in SourcePawn under the SourceMod extension.

SourceMod 1.9 is required!
To compile for yourself, SourceMod 1.9 Compiler is a must!

This is the 3rd Generation of War3Source with a new name: War3Source: Evolution.


Note: War3Source: Evolution changed War3Source so much that most addons for the 2nd Generation of War3Source will not work with War3Source: Evolution. War3Source Evolution uses private forwards and is the majority reason that any race created for War3Source 2nd Generation will not work. You will need to convert your race over to War3Source Evolution in order for it to work. If you know how to use SDKHooks, then you will be aware on how the new War3Source Evolution works when hooking forwards.

I started using the private forwards system so that only the active races will be "aware" of what is going on, instead of all races "aware" of what is going on. This is part of the huge optimization done to War3Source and why it is called War3Source Evolution. When you run War3Source Evolution with the hundreds of races, you will notice something major: your server will run more smoothly and much less lag. Why? Because only the races that are active are actively engaging the War3Source Engine instead of all the races engaging the War3Source engine all the time. If you was running 100, 200, 500+ races, imagine with War3Source Evolution you could run almost a unlimited supply of races without your server bogging down (given enough memory resources).
