I decided to dive back into the game, trying out quenching, but ran into a nasty issue with the shadows. I scoured everywhere for a fix, and just when I was about to give up, I found your tip to delete the 'vs' folder. Worked like a charm! Huge thanks for the assist!

Great tutorial!
Thank you!

[@brianJackson-cj5yd]

Thankyou man for creating this amazing mod, I'll try it soon, big thanks from me❤

[@Ahmed-_Hilal_-]

Great job :) thank you

This is what we need nowadays when almost everyone is rushing to recycle content day and night! - People who dedicate time and are willing to explain the details and intricacies of the subject/ topic. Thanks for all the the work you put into this! I for one will just use the enhanced ground textures - Don't really like where rebirth is going with their models tbh.

[@sunset40k36]

Thanks! I've been looking forward for that Quenching portrait frame tweak for a while. I also noticed your trees are shorter. I don't think that my shorter trees option works properly and they get in the view in cutscenes.

[@HungLe-hy4fm]

good, thanks you very much

[@Darkcranio]

Please explain or showcase what the shaders you deleted actually do at 12:38 cause I think I like the base quenching mod shaders and I'm not sure what does what. Also use 2.3

[@Darkcranio]

I tested with 2.3 my prefered way is: Leaving every shader+ adding: doodads, objects, textures, units folder as well BUT deleting only the "HD" shader.
This way it has very nice shaders all around except it's not too dark, but keeps it's Warcrafty original feeling in a way it was probably originally intended.

[@Fit5632]

good

[@ualacianjos8841]

Hello, thanks for share, that is amazing! I have one question. I'm trying to replace some models for all maps, but many of them have dds files along with mdx files, i know how to replace the mdx files but how do i make them work with the dds files? Does anyone have information on how to do it or where can i search for that?

[@h_dduwsc]

Is there a way to improve classic mode? I want to play Rowan Custom Campaign but it forces me to play with Classic Mode and I want to play it with better shader and lighting like Quenching

[@Darkcranio]

So if i understood correctly you only use 4 folders of the OG Quenching install folder, right? Nothing more added to retail folder behind the scenes.

[@andrex0071]

Can I play dota 1 with these graphics?

[@cristianplamadeala469]

Hey Ashfields! Do you know if there's a way to have the quenching style of trees while not fully installing the quenching mod? I would like to use your edits, but also the quenching trees, if possible.

[@ashfields9273]

Unfortunately you can't use them together. You can only pick either my edits, or the Quenching trees. Using them together will result in mismatching terrain and cliffs. But if you want the trees over the textures, here's how to do it.
Skip the entire step of my Quenching edits.
This time, for the shaders, you need to keep the terrain.bls and cliffblightmiscterrain.bls shader files. Then, copy the doodads folder from the Quenching mod into your retail folder (make sure there's a Quenching folder with all the tree models inside it inside the doodads folder)

[@cristianplamadeala469]

​@@ashfields9273 Thank you for the info and tips! Actually, I much prefer your edits over just the quenching trees :D
Thanks again for the amazing tutorial and edits!

[@MrBoreal75]

Hello ashfields, thank your for this work. Do you have any problem with quenching with last nvidia drivers ( shader allowed kind of blinking on the ground ) . Thank you again.

[@MrBoreal75]

Nevermind, i found the vs file to delete ! awesome work !! Thank you !!

[@greco3751]

Does this work on a cracked version of the game?

[@vanilla_dota2]

Hello, I'm having a slight problem. I can't play a lot of custom maps in multiplayer when using Warcraft 3 classic models it just disconnects me right after loading. Is there a solution to that? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[@ashfields9273]

Oh I'm not sure about that man. Never really played with multiplayer custom maps before

[@Darkcranio]

does still still work with Re-reforged?

[@ashfields9273]

yup! Except the custom models. Terrain and shaders would work just fine

[@JoeUseres]

was be so hard do a "reforge" llike this!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@Shadowclaw25]

it gets a Virus warning...when starting the client and Nexus deleted one of the 3 (client) because of said virus i guess.....

[@ashfields9273]

Where did I mention anything about Nexus mods in my video?
