    No, I am remaking the Scourge of Lordaeron. So each original map will be updated as the screenshots have shown + nine custom missions will be introduced in the form of 'Mythic Chapters' where players can witness the side story of the Alteraci, of the Horde, etc. Basically, it will explain to you why the Blackrock Clan is seen in Ashenvale, what role the Alteraci play in future crises, what Kael'thas' role was during the Third War, the backstory for Lord Garithos, and there will be a map re-made entirely from scratch and that is the Culling of Stratholme because I want it to feel like a Culling. The mission will not be the same where you just cull a 100 villagers and it's done. There will be a lot more to that and it will be a grand undertaking.

    Hey! Long time no see, how are you?
    Pyraeus

    Hello there, Forsaken.

    I am doing swell. I suffer from insomnia, which is a condition of not being able to sleep. No, it isn't due to depression. It just how it is.

    It is the only slowing factor in my life. Other than that, I am back but this time taking my time into consideration. I aim to finish the only project I started and finish it, and it will most likely be my last one that is very taxing.

    Everything is aimed to be very immersive and so that's where I am.

    How are you, forsaken blood elf?
    Forsaken
    Forsaken
    I'm glad to hear you're back and taking things at your own pace. Insomnia sounds tough, but I hope you be ok.

    I'm doing well, thanks for asking! I'm also trying to do something new, but I'm taking it really slow. Just feeling things out and seeing where it goes. What kind of project are you working on?
    Pyraeus
    Pyraeus
    Well, I already shared many images of the project & my plans regarding it. I am working on what I originally started & never finished: A RPG Enhanced Version of the Original Scourge of Lordaeron Campaign.

    So the original has 9 missions & there will be also + 9 more missions in that campaign that add to the story telling the tale of the Alteraci People, of the past of several characters such as Garithos, Arkus (Rage Winterchill) etc.

    The project will also have a grand redesign of Stratholme. It's a project where you can read every sign, tombstone, diary that enemies drop, where most units shout at you. Basically, immersion increased by a 100%. It's not easy and it will take quite some time. It will be my last project for sure and I can't wait to see people's reaction if I ever get it finished.

    I re-designed/polished all the original tech-trees (units, heroes, buildings, etc) as well as abilities of everyone. It is a gameplay the player will return to, yes, that is very familiar but also very new at the same time. The example of this design can be seen in my images I posted.

    Yes, Insomnia is a bitch and I hate it.
    Pyraeus
    - So, currently I have two issues in Blackrock & Roll Chapter. They're rather unusual issues.
    Issue 1: During the cinematic with Uther, the Blademaster does Spawn a Fake Mirror Image to speak to him. However, there are times the mirror image is not spawned & it doesn't appear at all. I never had an issue with this until Reforged & looked into any alternative reason as to why it happens, still unable to find one.

    Issue 2: When the Ending Cinematic is about to come, my game unexpectedly crashes & encounters an error. My only suspicion is that the triggers did not like the 'Rune of the Watcher' as it makes every unit in the playable map area invulnerable. However, I set it to only aim for the factions in the map.

    Issue 3 (Fixed, Honorable Mention): Apparently, selecting each unit in the map & making them vulnerable will also make gold mines vulnerable now (only in Reforged) despite myself not removing the ability from the goldmines.

    I enjoy developing but god damn these new rising bugs that I encounter. I wish I could patch my game just to avoid this headache but then I think about the players who have my version too.

    That is the confusing part, my dear Mage, as that is exactly what the trigger does. It spawns the blademaster, has the mirror image set up, sets up the variable for that mirror image (for when Uther destroys the bugger later on) and his mana (I am pretty sure) is way more than sufficient - (EDIT: The trigger sets his manna to max during the Set Up, so it's way more than sufficient) So I set up a testing trigger solely just to spawn him as I was curious as to what happens. So the blademaster spawns and often doesn't use the mirror image ability.

    So I kept spamming the testing button and it's like he has a 20% chance to spawn that bloody mirror image and actually work.

    Now, yes, the 'unit is attacked' during the cinematic but it can't be done/shouldn't be done with a real Blademaster because Uther says later on 'Damn, it was only a mirror image'. I can't have a real Blademaster just dying there and Uther stating it's a mirror image, you know?

    I am confused as to what you mean by the Damage Engine part though?

    EDIT 02: Apparently, selecting each unit on map to make them invulnerable/hidden is not liked by the game. So when I selected only for it to do the playable factions & to remove all the Watcher Wards from the game (it worked). I can finish the map. Blademaster still bugged. :p

    So, with a Damage Engine/Is Unit Attacked, the Blademaster at max health just get removed when the attack lands and a special effect that mimics the Mirror Image is shown to the player. This is an alternative if Mirror Image is being inconsistent.

    Curious, is this happening in this map? 2Player: Human02
    Pyraeus
    Pyraeus
    It never happened in that map but I haven't opened it for a long time. A lot of old triggers and stupid stuff broke with Reforged. So I find myself always working against Reforged, if that makes sense?

    Now about that special effect; would you by any chance know what special effect could resemble the mirror image by any chance? (I'll probably look into it myself but you have a very good idea, I must admit)
    Pyraeus
    I have returned temporarily and before I drift off I want to say that anyone, anywhere, is allowed to edit my past projects however they please.

    It’s better to see love put into any kind of work rather than it collecting dust.

    Pyraeus what are you doin???

    Pyraeus
    I honestly didn’t expect a comment for the year 2024 on my account.

    I am doing nothing. I sort of retired from the Warcraft 3 scene due to personal health and my life.

    That being said, I have logged in the first time today to see what’s changed and what is going on.

    I would consider it but honestly I lost all will to do 2 Player Campaigns for various reasons.

    1. Each time you create a 2 Player Campaign, you need to implement everything starting from scratch.
    2. I like to be very detailed and that enhances the work load.
    3. Most maps have now been broken in Reforged, especially my maps.

    Understood. Thank you.

    The current editor sometimes loads Reforged Models in the Old Classic Version.

    It also throws random bugs at me although everything is correctly displayed in it.
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    Have you set it to Classic graphics mode in the settings?
    What kind of bugs? Perhaps opening a thread in World Editor Help Zone might be a good idea?
    Pyraeus
    Pyraeus
    Yes, I have set it to Classic. The bugs are 'Reforged Models' sometimes appear in game when I start it. For instance, a Blacksmith randomly turns into a Reforged model instead of a Classic model when I am in game, and I am using Classic mode settings. xD

    Happy New Years, members of the Hive Workshop. If any ask about my absence. I have one month work of paperwork and it’s back to the Peasant Factory.
    Pyraeus
    To all people of the Hive Workshop I wish a very Merry and Happy Christmas. May your spirits be filled with cheer and love on this time of year to hold on to the tradition where we aren’t douchebags one time a year or very selfish. I hope our worgen: Santa Claws... will find you all good this year. May you have a New Year soon to come from Azeroth.
    Pyraeus
    I am going to look around and say. If anyone has some epic orcish unit names they always wanted to use. I want to hear them all from various people of this community. By unit names I mean like 'Raider, Grunts'. Share your thoughts and perhaps some I will even use.
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    You could search for orc names in games and decide whether to use some of those or just be inspired by them.

    Looking for someone who can help me resolve a water issue. Units are able to walk in deep water as if it’s not even there. Please respond, whoever has encountered a problem like this.

    Well, all the campaign data won’t load up if I do it for you. So if you want to see thousands of blocks and have the map, sure.

    I was given a recommendation from someone before you that wants to check it out. If all else fails, i will get back to you. Thank you for replying, Deepstrasz.

    APproject certainly does not have the time, especially with the big project he has! I assume pretty much no one (at least cinematic maker) does.

    I would suggest just learning how to do it, won't take long.
    Pyraeus
    Pyraeus
    I will do it in my own most likely, sir, but the reason I recruit is to not do it all alone and that’s why I asked in the first place.

    Thank you both and regards :D
    Pyraeus
    Very interesting to say the least that many souls do not mention or even fix the obvious hero issues that befell our latest Warcraft 3 patches. Did you notice that there are hero names that have screwed up lately? In Hearthglen, the liches are known as Rage Winterchill. In Northrend, it's Rage Winterchill. This is in the Reign of Chaos campaign of the new patch, but Rage Winterchill is a powerful lich who only appeared in Eternity's End. Something fishy is going on here. Check out Chapter 5, 7 of the humans and Night Elf 08 of the Reign of Chaos in Patch 1.3.2. Hahaha...

    Never patch since 1.30 arrives. I'm just waiting till they actually fix the tons of bugs people keep yelling, mostly the sound problem.
    Pyraeus
    Pyraeus
    Ah, well, my team mate noticed the Lich names screwing up in the campaign chapters for 1.3.0. Onward xD
    deepstrasz
    deepstrasz
    No. I tried to see the lich names some time ago and they are random from what I remember.
    Pyraeus
    So does anyone know what the moderators are planning? Original Warcraft and Reforged Warcraft are two different types of games. Models and skins will no longer be the same. For the sake of all of us... I hope an announcement is released that all can clearly and visible see that can answer some questions to the worried community that has now found itself halting many projects of various types for the expectations and concerns of this bland remake. We require some answers, all of us, and I say this with respect. Give us these answers, please. Let the community mod in peace. Thank you.

    For those who saw me login randomly will say "Holy fuck, he's alive!", but no, I am not. As I said, ever since the changes that have changed this site. I am not active and that is my silent protest. However, I will and do accept you to PM me on the forum. Reasons? I have a little secret people would like to know or ask me about all the time. About the most awaited campaign I never finished. Heinvers knows what it is. Alright, cya guys around and to whomever reads this!

    At least it's good to see you around again, even if it's a bit. Curious about the work of yours actually, but I'll just wait if you ever gonna release it. Dunno if I ever say thanks before, but thanks for using my user name for a certain archmage in your 2p map.

    Hi I'm back but not totally back because my computer with the game had just broken so I guess I can't help you with AI sorry :(
