WC2 map viewer online
« on: August 07, 2015, 11:32:27 AM »
Some time ago Ive started to learn Node JS and was thinking about creating a browser game. I didn't created any game yet, but somehow during the development I ended up with a map viewer for Warcraft 2 maps. You can check it here: http : / / 1 0 9 . 1 2 0 . 1 5 5 . 2 4 : 3 0 0 0 / m a p v i e w e r

See an attachment for the screenshot.

You can choose a map from the drop-down list, pan it with mouse (work a bit sluggish), zoom in/out. Also you can upload your own map with Select and Upload buttons. Uploaded Map should have Summer terrain.

Also I created a few huge maps like 192x192 and 256x256, they are also can be selected from the drop-down list.

Please Note! Site works well only in Chrome, I didnt test it with other browsers.

It would be great to know any feedback and opinions from the wc2 community. Of course event HTML5 and Node JS dont let you to replicate WC2 gameplay in browser, but a little and simple game with wc2 graphics can be created for sure.

Archer why bother?

1.You stole the source from Google code I'm almost certain.
2. You made big maps oh yay we all can to, bet you can't play on them.
3. It won't even work no one wants some alpha version we want war2.
4. You are a cyber criminal, just leave man.
5. This is a virus I know your method, trying to harvest stored passwords from a link ehh???

IT'S NOT "WC2" YOU INGRATES.  IT'S "WAR2"

IF YOU WEREN'T NEWBIES YOU WOULD KNOW THAT.

THE GAME LITERALLY USED TO INSTALL INTO THE DIRECTORY C:\WAR2.  AND YOU'D HAVE TO GO INTO DOS AND INTO C:\WAR2 AND RUN WAR2.EXE OR MAYBE WAR2.BAT TO PLAY.

"WC2" IS A NEOLOGISM USED BY NEWCOMERS WHO ARE APING THE "WC3" ABBREVIATION THAT TOOK HOLD FOR WARCRAFT 3 AFTER WAR2 HAD ALREADY BEEN CALLED "WAR2" FOR A DECADE.

OH, AND, YOU KNOW, THE GAME ITSELF IS HOSTED ON SERVER.WAR2.RU.  AND THIS IS FORUM.WAR2.RU.  DUH.

IL PLEASE CREATE A FILTER THAT AUTOMATICALLY CENSORS ALL USES OF THE LETTERS "WC2" INTO "WAR2."  PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF WHAT THE FREAKING GAME IS CALLED.  WE MUST NOT CAVE IN TO FORCES OF MODERN DEGENERACY.

The official is War2, like any word you can abbreviate it using letters in the words too... Really don't see what the big deal is as long as the person knows its called Warcraft 2 what would it matter how they abbreviate it? If you've played Warcraft 2 long enough you're probably going to recognize War2 or Wc2 just saying. I've referred to Warcraft as both of those abbreviations and when typing the abbreviation out tend to use Wc2 just because it's one letter shorter lol.

Hahhhhh! God blid makes the best posts!

It's just an acronym man. Language evolves. Chill! Also this. And this. Although since we changed the title tag of the website it's now ranking #2 for "war2" in Google, I guess that's a victory for you!
squeak!
