Yes, there is a new version of Wanderers of Sorceria in the works. The newest and most exciting additions are the Wanderer's Journal global upgrade system and Achievements.

whew,this looks very impressive rcx, looking foward to try it when it goes live
in the mean time im playing wos 1 to 6 again and intend to enjoy wc3 as much as i can and as long as the computer is willing to install and let me play it

I should get back to this again, seeing as I found an easy workaround to Blizzard's botched music handling on the Intel Mac version.

Nice! What will the Wanderer's Journal include?
Achievements? Looks like they're the fad nowadays =P

The 10-50 page upgrades are in one of the above videos. The 60 page upgrade (the last one) actually does a whole mess of things (some of them absurd).

Oddly enough my favorite one turned out to be the Tower attack range upgrade; it's so nice having more towers to back up the front towers. After that, probably the Gravity Well.

Most of them actually call attention to something that was already there that wasn't completely obvious. I don't think very many of them ask you to do outrageous things (although one of them does involve killing 10 Infernals and some of them have to come from Ebon the Crimson Flame).

Sounds cool. Anything to make the Infernal mission easier is great in my book. Sort of.

Is this compatible with the old campaign save files (well, cache files actually) though, or will I have to collect all the Obelisks again (which is my least favourite sidequest honestly)

Everything is compatible except for whatever Hero spells got rearranged (just a few of the Book 1 and 2 classes; everything else is the same); in those cases a Hero is just plain missing an ability (it's has to do with how Blizzard coded how Abilities are handled by the game; it doesn't in any way attempt to 'not spend' skill points even though you don't have a particular Ability). I haven't thought of a way to fix that short of just picking a different Hero class.

The Obelisk quests are supposed to be set up in a way so that if you do it once you don't have to do it again. The only thing is at the moment there's no way to tell which ones you didn't get. That's probably something I should get around to fixing.

Looking forward for it, too!

btw: Did you make all the sounds, models and musics by yourself?

Are you from Germany?

Iis there any estimated release date? (most like it's done when it's done, I dont need anything exact, but it would be nice if it gets released in a few months or weeks, this year or if it will take longer than that, such stuff)

Probably sometime within the next month or so. I'm still adding and changing stuff as they come up.

w0_0t? nice!

Keep going!

Looks awesome! By the way I was wonder which program was used to record the game...

CamStudio recorder

Damn, I forgot to post this sooner. If it isn't too much of a hassle, could you go to Map Options (on each map that you open) and, on the bottom, make the map use the Latest Melee Patch? It fixes some silent bugs and other actual visible ones like the health bar bug.
Thanks in advance.

Well as you know by default all maps by default use the settings based on its map type, so by default all of them use the old data. Which is still the case.

I don't know what health bar bug you're referring to.

Now, the problem I do see for Latest Melee Patch is it could do something strange to the maps which I'm not aware of. I think that's why using the old patch data option was made available-- one patch made Storm Bolt unable to hit the boats in one of the original campaign missions. Now, honestly, I don't like some of the points where the old patch data are spawned from, but they were at least somewhat constant.
