[Campaign] Exodus

[The_Legion]

This looks promising, Forsaken

 

[Sclammerz]

As yousef said it happened to me too. I never finished it yet. Looking good.

Edit: Oh, do you have a model for the Enchanter? You could use this for it, it's a skin.Human Mage. Hope this helps.

 

[kakuzu]

Anyway good luck !

In chapter 2 I think there was a bug where you could kill the quest givers. That made the quest unfinishable.

I remember something similar , i never finished the campaign

 

[Sclammerz]

Me too. I stopped at chapter 2.

 

[Forsaken]

LOL
Thanks for tell me this, because I really didn't know about this, I always play the map, and the gameplay was fine to me, I will try to fix all the things, thanks again.

 

[Yousef]

Really? This never happened to me, do you know what can cause such thing for help me to fix?

I don't know how did this happen or what causes it, but you can take a look at the triggers.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Making the units invulnerable and pausing them should do it.

 

[kakuzu]

Well remaking old campaign is good and has many good aspects such as improving or finishing the campaign but has some bad aspects such as , the world forget about the original campaign and forget about the work of the original maker

 

[Forsaken]

I've just check the triggers; and tested the map, and nothing happened again... For fix the problem of the quest givers, they will be invulnerable. Maybe in this new version such problem don't happen. I just hope so...

@kakuzu; maybe, but it's good remake campaign and fix the things, he will be in the credits as well, and his campaign is uploaded here yet.

 

[kakuzu]

@Forsaken Yeah it is good that you want to remake this campaign and i like your idea , i just say that remaking old campaign also have a little bad part , i mean the best exemple is Shards of Rezistance,

 

[Forsaken]

@kakuzu, yea, maybe.

Just new screenshots, chapter two is nearly done, just need to finished some parts of the terrain!

[Sclammerz]

Looking Great, There! Forsaken.

 

[kakuzu]

Look really good so far , keep it work ! Also i said that Shards of Rezistance is the best exemple because most of the people forgot about Lord Soze and his original campaign but i never saw the original campaign so i cannt judge the quality or the effort put in the original campaign , but MedMapGuy did a nice job

 

[Heinvers]

Not bad. At least that terrain has MORE life in it. Keep it up.

 

[kakuzu]

How about to use this for the forsaken ? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/abominogre-237281/?prev=search%3Dabominogre%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20

I would try to limit the number of imports, give the campaign a very blizz/vanilla feel. Which is what drew me to it originally, the imports were used effectively (in most cases) and only when necessary for lore, gameplay etc purposes. But, I'm sure Forsaken will strike the balance right.

One question, how did Macielos do the caravan ability/triggers?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I'd rather recommend this for an abomination hero.

 

[istvan921]

I'd rather recommend you to change the archer and the crossbowman to these models.

This for the archer:

And this for the crossbowman:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...n-215822/?prev=search=crossbowman&d=list&r=20

Cause they look cooler this way.

 

[Footman16]

I prefer this archer model:

[Shar Dundred]

Here are my favorites for both:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/footarcher-220935/

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/crossbowfootman-227068/

Would be the armored version of both, but still.

 

[Heinvers]

ummm, guys! Slow down a bit, will you?

He'll decide what's best

 

[Forsaken]

If I go to use some of the many model suggestions, It will be Shar Dundred's idea for the Abomination, and Crossbow Footman. But anyway, thanks.

@Footman16; well, he made a lot of triggers, I barely understood what he did. o.o

 

[kakuzu]

Also there will be some story changes ?

 

[Forsaken]

Also there will be some story changes ?

I think not.

Chapter two is completed!

[kakuzu]

Very nice Forsaken , keep it work !

 

[Forsaken]

@kakuzu; thank you!

Just started chapter three!

[Heinvers]

Wayyy better than it was before. Great job Forsakie, I like what I'm seeing

_________________________________________

Tip:
1. Try adding some Ashenvale canopy trees too in that forest (chapter 3).
2. You could also use some tinted river rushes to add more vegetation to it.
3. As for the house, well you should tint the ruined house models to something like 170 170 170 to make it look more ruined.

I know that it would add another nice touch and more natural feeling to it.

 

[kakuzu]

I agree with Heinvers , it will make the terrain more natural

 

[Forsaken]

Thanks Heinvers and kakuzu , I'm already doing the tip one and two. And the third I will make as well!

 

[kakuzu]

Well , it look really nice so far

 

[Olivertkf]

Really nice!

 

[Heinvers]

Thanks Heinvers and kakuzu , I'm already doing the tip one and two. And the third I will make as well!

Great

 

[youness]

look good so far, DO u will change some models.

 

[Forsaken]

@Olivertkf; thank you!

@youness, thanks, and I've did already, the Onager, Crossbowman and others; I will be changing others soon.

 

[Sclammerz]

Nice, great work!

 

[kakuzu]

Also the final will be change ?

 

[Forsaken]

@Sclammerz; thank you!

@kakuzu; just a bit.

Also, someone has some idea of what kind of spell I could use for Inaylia? Her new model will be: Human Assassine.

 

[Heinvers]

Revealing Stroke, Slashing Swords, Dodge (like evasion), Knife-zilla (xD).

 

[Shar Dundred]

Also, someone has some idea of what kind of spell I could use for Inaylia? Her new model will be: Human Assassine.

I'll just guess that she's assassin/shadow like. Feel free to correct me if that's wrong.

Ultimate: Assassin's Strike (either 50% chance to deal 4-times damage or an ability like Thunder Bolt, dealing 500 damage and stunning for 5 (2.5) seconds.

Ordinary Ones:
- Mana Burn (always good)
- Evasion
- Master of Shadows (Summons one (or more) Shadow(s) to fight for the hero)
- Adrenaline Rush (increases both attack and movement speed)

 

[Heinvers]

As an Ultimate it could be named Shadow Cleaving.

 

[kakuzu]

Maybe this :
Shadow Stalker (similar with bladesmaster wind walk )
Mortal strike ( a powerfull single attack who deal damage and stunt )
Assassin cunning (permanently increse hero agility )
Ultimate : Fury of Kasar (double attack damage for a set time )
or Shadow wave (release a shadow wave who damage enemy units in a line )

 

[youness]

hi forsaken, it is there any chance that u could add some chapters.

 

[Macielos]

Well, well, it's good to see that work on my old campaign's remake is advancing so quickly. I'm really impressed with Forsaken's enthusiasm for refreshing old projects such as mine.

You discussed unit models you'd change. Of course it is up to Forsaken to make the final choices, but here are my suggestions:
- Human Assassine for Inaylia seems fine
- New priest/cleric looks nice
- I don't know why there are so many suggestions to replace Colonel Alinthor's model. The current one looks very "lordaeronish" and was generally liked. It is not as common and generic as, e.g. Royal Captain. That's good Forsaken decided to keep it.
- IMO archer and crossbowman's models should remain unchanged. They shouldn't look like Gondorian heavily-armoured archers (like some models suggested as replacements), they are common Lordaeron soldiers, militia, even villagers who grabbed weapons to fight against the Scourge.

One question, how did Macielos do the caravan ability/triggers?

The caravan's route consists of several tiny regions. A horse which enters a region receives an order to proceed to the next one. A hero has a unique ability clicking on which makes the horses pause/unpause. This way I can stop and move the caravan any moment without the need to give orders for each horse every time.

I do not protect my maps (I hate the idea of damaging the map just to prevent someone from seeing its mechanisms from inside), so feel free to open old Exodus map file and check it yourself .

Good luck, Forsaken .

 

[kakuzu]

WoW , it is good to see the origina creator !

 

[youness]

agreed with u kakuzu, but why he do not show up in the hive.

 

[Macielos]

A lot to do, not enough time . I had a plan to create another Warcraft campaign, this time about the undead, I also made a few Brood War-style maps for Starcraft 2 (although I didn't release them), but I don't want to get involved in several projects only to give them up later. Right now I am focused on something different, a huge project for a space-sim game Freespace 2. Perhaps I will create something for Warcraft after it's released.

 

[Heinvers]

Now this is unexpected to see the original creator around

 

[Olivertkf]

Looks really good, I've liked the suggestion of kakuzu! Good luck!
