Unless you're talking about unit lines in the description, you can change the volume of all sounds played in the sound editor

Do you mean in the sound editor, reducing all sounds, for example, to 50%? If so, I think it's not a good option because there could be a bug. For example, if a player saves the game in a particular chapter and reloads it, the sound will be increased again. Back then, out of inexperience, I started amplifying each sound through a special program, but eventually realized it was better if I hadn't done that. It was my mistake, and I learned from it.

When you click on a sound you're using in the editor you get this :

Here I put the volume at 110 (max=127). It's not changed by reloading

Of course this doesn't work for any sound imported by replacing an existing one, like the unit barks I mentionned

Just tested it, reduced one sound in the editor by 90% to see if it makes a difference. However, in the game, it has no effect, the sound remains the same. It's possible that my editor is not the right version because I've encountered some limitations, or it might just not be possible.

For me it always works (1.28), but I know some sounds in my campaign have problems when played on later patches

ty for the reply

"The Order of the Silver Hand is in danger" - Looks like a short text message (sms). And the previous title of the game I couldn't even figure out what it meant. Even Google Translate couldn't figure it out.
SMS is a short text message that you send from your phone to another person. It is widely used in Viber-like programs and Twitter-like platforms.

"The king is concerned about the presence of orcs in Azeroth and instructs Uther to solve the problem by going to the world of the dead to summon their leaders and defeat the orcs. Uther himself, however, doesn't go anywhere and instead sends messengers to Northrend to find the Dalaran assassin, with the intention of taking credit for the task in exchange for a reward. The main hero agrees to take on the job for a substantial sum, and along the way, various characters with missions will cross his path. These missions will be optional to complete, but if the hero does them, he will receive various benefits that will help him in the future. " - I have played this game more than 100 times but the characters and story were different.

"About the gameplay" - At the beginning, you will be given various tasks, and I recommend completing them because you will receive different rewards for them, which will help you in the future. From the first chapter, it may seem very difficult to progress, but don't get discouraged; it's until you level up your hero. It will get easier from there.
Good luck~~" - And this game I have played more than 100 times but the optional quests were easier.

"Some of the side quests I've created are inspired by the game Skyrim, and some abilities or even locations will be similar." - Good hit. It should stay in the game description.

"WARNING" - I made this campaign about a year ago, and at that time, I didn't have the skills for proper sound import, so all the sounds turned out to be loud, and sometimes very loud. This can sometimes cause discomfort, but unfortunately, I don't have the strength to search for and redo all of them again." - Another good hit. Such flaws are good to know. It should stay in the game description.

A nice campaign. Some designs really interest Skyrim fans. However, only the content of chapter 1 is relatively substantial while the rest missions seem to be a bit rough.

+ does not forget, you can acquire pretty good items only in Chapter 1. What you picked up there, was going to be the most helpful items during the walkthrough of the campaign. Only before the last chapter, when the player has any chance to pick up very good items.

A meme campaign with old school RPG gameplay with the biggest downside being most chapters are short and monotonous.

Approved.

Thanks for the review. I'll address the main points in order. Regarding why I chose "The Order of the Silver Hand," the reason is that before creating this campaign, I was playing Skyrim, and some missions and locations from the game stuck with me. I thought, why not implement this in Warcraft? However, I didn't intend to make a Warcraft campaign, so I decided to incorporate a brief scenario involving the Order of the Silver Hand. Since my landscape locations were related to snowy places, I thought it would fit well. I agree that the events that unfold later in the campaign aren't very connected to the initial stages, but at the time, it was challenging for me to come up with something else.

Regarding items that don't fit into the inventory, I had the idea to add a backpack, and I was searching for maps with such features. Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled in triggers, and while I know the basics of events and actions, I don't have the experience to create items or runes through variables. I've learned to create quests with variables, as I've seen tutorials on YouTube about creating various mechanics. In the end, due to my lack of knowledge about certain things, I limit my campaigns in certain aspects that I wanted to implement, but I replace them with something else.

As for the change from hero-type armor to regular armor, I wanted to make hero progression moderately challenging. I wanted any unit to be able to deal significant damage and have it be noticeable.

In summary, this was my second campaign, and when I was working on my third and fourth campaigns, I realized that I had done many things incorrectly (at least those I now know how to do correctly). I know I would change a lot of things, but there's already too much done in a way that it seems pointless to change. I wanted to show that transferring locations from Skyrim to Warcraft could be beautiful, but I didn't want to do it through screenshots; I chose to create a campaign so players could explore similar areas.

The Hero is somewhat the ONLY character strong enough among the other characters. And paired with footmen? Goodness, these footmen were bested with only a few hits from the monsters. I would rather have another hero.

I know how important good feedback is, so I'm trying to give as much as possible (and hopefully useful advice as a fellow mapmaker):
WALL OF TEXT & MAJOR NITPICKING INCOMING !

-Played the ? (downloaded the 29/8/2023) version on normal difficulty on my 1.27 game version-

(+): visuals are really good : terrain, custom resources used, cutscenes
(+): music and sounds make great atmosphere
(+): story is sometimes intriguing with the weird daedra from Elder scrolls

(-): difficulty is unbalanced depending on your pick of abilities and any enemy that can counter you wolf is way harder
(-): the combat is mostly getting stunlocked until you get killed, reload until you get lucky + boring bosses with huge healthpools

neutral: 2 choices are impactful : the daedra/museum guy and the gnomish item, but later you get a false "no, but yes" one

Thank you for your feedback. I'll address some questions about the game that haven't been discussed yet. Regarding balance, yes, some players have mentioned that there are too many stun abilities and powerful monsters. I did reduce their strength, but it seems I forgot about the stuns. This can happen when creating a map and you place stronger and more numerous enemy units, thinking it will be too easy for the player, but it ends up the opposite.

As for the levers, yes, I had the idea to make them cyclic, but I'm not so strong with triggers, so it turned out the way it did. I increased the health of the levers because a player can quickly break them and immediately head to the portal, which I didn't want to happen.

Regarding the Black Book, I initially planned to include two or three spells in it, but as it was noticed, when summoning the Faceless One, it calls a wolf-like creature, which is similar to one of the cooldown abilities. I tried to fix it by assigning the spell to a different key, but it didn't work out. So, I left it as it was, and that's why there was only one spell in the book. I wanted to add three spells that would summon different creatures, but it would have been confusing.

When Ichthys the Unfathomable spoke to you outside of the "Apocrypha," I decided not to add his portrait during the dialogue. The idea was that he was connecting with the main character from his own world, not directly.

In Chapter 6, I didn't add music; instead, I included the sound of frost (in the musical composition). If I had placed the frost sound in the regular sounds, I would have had to play it cyclically at intervals, which might have caused the game to freeze.

Now, about the dialogue choices with the Faceless One, from the very beginning when I created this campaign, I designed it this way: if the player refuses, they are then moved to one map, and if they agree, they go to another with the Black Book. The transfer itself worked, but players told me that in such a case, all skill achievements and items were lost. I understand how frustrating that can be, so I made it so that regardless of the dialogue choice, there is only one map, and items are saved.

I agree that the other maps are too small compared to the first two. At that time, I didn't have the energy to come up with something for them, and I wanted to release it as quickly as possible. Even in the first chapter, it may seem huge, but it was originally smaller. I constantly added to it, additional quests, and expanded the terrain, that's how it turned out. That's about it)

• I've never used the spellbook, but the wolf being summoned at the same time must be because the same spell is used as a base which makes both activate when using one
• sounds can be put on loop in the sound editor : you just need to trigger it once at the start and it won't stop until you tell it to, and you probably shouldn't use music as sound and vice-versa since some players may cut the music or at least have different volumes

-I wish that I thought about hitting all the levers fast and running to the portal, this series of fight + arbitrary damage was not fun

It was a fun little experience, and playing the game with russian voice acting was something I've never experienced before. It's basically Skyrim, but a lot of effort went into building the maps even though they offer a brief experience.

What bothered me the most (bothered might be a too strong a word) was the audio where the microphone was overloaded resulting in a very annoying sound (like the overly long wolf howl in the first map, and the growl in the underground mine map) even though it served for immersive purposes.

The hero Ramsay is a little bit underpowered for such a fairly difficult experience that later on takes a sharp turn into a standalone experience. For starters, I don't understand why he couldn't have Atribute Boost (+3 to all stats) instead of a skill that only gave him 4 points of strength while fully upgraded.
The wolf companion wasn't very powerful in my opinion, it could have used a higher health pool and something else besides a chance to crit.
I lost the Footmen I was given because the mobs were overly strong and humble non-moded units don't fare well against enemies with high attack score or chaos type damage. These enemies also made the "ultimate" where Ramsay got a lot of armor ineffective since enemies hit rather hard.
The game also takes away the book that allowed you to summon an "Entity" that could have been helpful later on and I wouldn't be forced to run away all the time.

Overall, it was a rather fun short campaign with many details in each map that I found very unique (like a barrel that prevented a cog from turning).

May I ask what's got updated? All I know, the description is full russian now.

Hello, during editing, I enabled automatic translation on the page because I couldn't understand one button, and apparently, after clicking save, it activated, which is strange. Regarding changes in the campaign, they are minor, and I was thinking of not mentioning them. I watched how one person played it on YouTube and noticed a flaw, namely, I modified it by removing the troll's resurrection ability, making infantry slightly stronger, adding a box near the town with spirit healers, and also reducing the criteria for troll shamans near the heart.

So i downloaded this map earlier and so far chapter 1 is pretty fun but i can't seem to get the 6th optional quest. I already finished the Crypt Heart quest, the razor quests, the Pandaren quest, and the trader quest but i can't get the last quest to show up.

edit: also what's with the doors of death?

Hello, the additional quest you have remaining is likely because you spared the life of Sila Vesula; otherwise, the quest to eliminate him would have been activated. As for the door, it is a reference, and there is no way to access it.
