FAQ
How can I use it on Classic?
Follow the installation instructions, there is .gif with settings. Be sure to have selected Classic Mode in in-game options.
Do I need Reforged in order to use it?
No. This works on any version above 1.32.6.
Will I get banned using this on Battle.net?
No, replacing files using local files is acceptable and implemented into the game by Blizzard.
Does this work with the campaign?
Partially. Most units will work, but for those that are missing, the original models will be used.
What is the difference between Classic and Reforged environment settings?
The Classic setting is fully working mod as it was developed and intended before 2.0. The Reforged setting offers new shaders and lighting. However, I have not figured out what happened to the trees, so you will need to use the Reforged setting to retain the Reforged terrain and trees — until I solve this issue.
Do you plan to further develop this modification?
Not at the moment. There are still creeps, campaign units, and buildings left to complete, but I have not found good sources for those models yet.
Are you open to collaboration?
Absolutely! If anyone would like to contribute or expand this modification, I am open to suggestions and happy to help.
Does this pack affect performance?
Yes, but not significantly. The models and textures in this pack are better optimized and compressed compared to those in Reforged. The FPS performance fluctuates between Reforged and Classic original settings.
Thank you to everyone who contributed including those I may have unintentionally missed.
