Beyond the Dark Portal
Work in Progress Campaign
Work in Progress Campaign
Last year I started working on a Beyond the Dark Portal remake. Unlike Helldoom's remake, which aims at a faithful recreation, I wanted to make it like if it was a Warcraft III campaign. With hero units and the Warcraft III gameplay (huge health, low damage, health regen) since I don't really like Warcraft II's balance. I managed to almost complete the first two missions and the gameplay of the third. What I worked on most was the heroes. Each hero has brand new abilities, that I am very happy about. In this campaign you will find 5 maps:
Prologue - Complete, though it could be improved slightly
Chapter 1 - Complete
Chapter 2 - Complete
Chapter 3 - 70% Complete, cinematics and gameplay triggers need some work
Test - A sandbox map with all units and heroes to play around and try out
Warcraft II maps, but with Warcraft III gameplay and World of Warcraft lore additions
Cinematics based partially on books, but modified to match the Warcraft II briefings
What is canon in this campaign? Since I am using the mission briefings from Warcraft II, everything said in them is automatically canon, the rest will be changed to match them.
1. Mission Briefings
2. Novel
3. Map design/my own changes
Unit Variations in later missions:
Grunt/Ghoul/Shaman
Spearthrower/Troll Axethrower
Death Knight/Warlock/Troll Shadowpriest
Red Dragon/Black Dragon
Heroes with custom spells inspired by WoW and Heroes of the Storm: Gratar, Grom Hellscream, Dentarg, Kargath Bladefist, Teron Gorefiend, Ner'zhul
Lore NPCs: Hurkan Skullsplinter, Fenris Wolfbrother, Kilrogg Deadeye (last one not added yet)

Shame. It sounds exactly like the type of remake I would have made. At least we might see the Reforged version in the Chronicles of Warcraft remake.

I re-saved all maps. Originally they were saved on PTR 1.31. So there was a version mismatch error when opening or saving chapters. You can see the error here:

It's a very good campaign so far, but unfortunately I can't play the last two chapters as the game crashes while loading chapter 6. Playing on Reforged version 1.36.1. It's such a shame because I actually enjoyed the campaign quite a bit, despite it being WIP and still crash.
