Anyone know who is coding this WC3 for source?

Hey all,
I have been patiently waiting for Geesu et al. to develop WC3 before I made the transition to CS:S. The other day though, I was demonstrating CS:S on my new puter for a friend when I happened to stumble across this: "WC3 SAVEDXP CS:Source
www.elitegamingcorp.com" in my server list! I thought "WTF! OMG!" and immediately jumped in to look around.
At this point, whoever is coding it has only 4 races and some of the skills working, but it is playable. I was just wondering if anyone knew who was coding this and if they have forums somewhere. I looked through the EliteGamingCorp webpage but this
http://www.elitegamingcorp.com/nuke/mod ... page&pid=4 was the most info I could find.
Thanks for the help.

Some kid. Its a very shakey thing from what I've seen. Last I saw it relied on 3-4 other plugins, which adds a lot of instability.
I do not know where Geesu is on a CS:S WC3. I have begun ground work for converting WC3 XP though. I plan to make an exact conversion however, no reworkings or new features. I believe Geesu has plans to redesign a large amount of the plugins.

Yah, it definitely needs work but it is interesting. I know Geesu's long standing position is that he was waiting for SourceMod and that makes sense to me. From what I can tell, whoever is coding that mod isn't using Mani-Admin or even SourceMM. I was really curious to get a look at his code...

I just went to play it today and all I have to say is WTF... undead sucide kills your team mates and he really screwed up the skills. It was so great that I am never going on a Warcraft 3 server on Source till amx mod source comes out and a real Warcraft 3 gets made.

Well, it looks as if he is adding one or two skills in each iteration. In effect, he is using that server as an "open" closed beta. By that I mean that the source is still restricted to his server but it is open for everyone to play. *shrug*

Just keeping everyone updated on this server...
I jumped in yesterday and it looks as if the guy has added some new functionality. If anyone is lurking and knows who is coding this, PLEASE ask him to fix it so !suicide doesn't kill teammates when friendly fire is turned off.
Thanx.

Ok... finally got ahold of the admin of that CS:S War3 server. It's being built off of ManiMod and the forums for the mod are at:
http://mattie.info/cs/forums/viewforum.php?f=22
Interesting reading.

Another update for those who want to try this out. I am working with the server admin now to run this server. Come try out the new updates and see what you think. A major update is in the works as well to clean up a lot of the code and improve performance.
Ferret, as you say this whole thing is built on Mattie's EventScripts and that ISN'T the best way to go. But at least it's something while we wait for SourceMod to be ready.
