Campaign Contest #2 - War is everywhere [Deceased]

[-Kobas-]

Guys just small notice, models are great contribute to any map, that's fact. But quests and story are far more important, don't forget that.

- Lore (Story, quests, unit names, world descriptions, NPC units etc etc)
- Graphic (UI, effects, models, terrain etc)
- Gameplay (Systems in general, spells, difficulties, special events, game modes etc etc)

I would really like to test finished campaigns.

If someone here is willing to do triggers, I'd be glad to get some help :3

[ronojales]

it only shows a white dot when i previewed it using the "Edit Signature" thing at the User CP

 

[Pharaoh_]

Replace your current signature, because it's kind of big already, so the maximum space is almost occupied.

 

[ronojales]

it still shows a small dot. maybe something's weird with my sig, but nevermind. i do solo my piece anyway, just curious what it looks like XD

 

[Pharaoh_]

You did it, good job

 

[Vengeancekael]

Or use

, so you can have both of the pictures in a line.

 

[ronojales]

here's what it really looks on my screen. hopefully any other users other than me will see this XD
though it's a nice way to sorta show this on the site Pharaoh

 

[Sorceress]

Your projects are looking really interresting.
I think it will be hard to pick out the best lol,
but good luck to all who has signed in!

I really hope i can join in as a judge

 

[Vengeancekael]

Will join. Just have to finish judging another contest first >.<

You only have 18 days left
Also why am I so lazy, I haven't even started with the third chapter.

 

[ronojales]

@Vengeancekael
i thought you still have to make 10 chapters? XP

 

[GhostThruster]

18 days is how long it will take. To finish the judging of that contest...looks like I can't join

 

[indomitable1319]

Who are the judges for this one?
If you need one, I was hoping I could be one.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Judges aren't a problem. Contestants are.

 

[indomitable1319]

I believe in the contestants.
Besides, isn't there an extension if there aren't at least two final submissions by the time of the deadline?

 

[L2love]

Crap, I still need a trigger person and I have to finish chapter 1.

 

[ronojales]

i could help L2love but i'm a contestant as well XD
and i think there are at least 5 contestants here..? though i don't see anyone in the Contest Judging area.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hopefully they'll all drop out so I can finally win something C: Anyways back to working on chapter 3.

 

[L2love]

Besides the amount of contestants do we even have any entry's close to completion? Besides Vengeancekael.

 

[ronojales]

he posted somewhere he still have 10 chapters, but yeah i think that was a joke
hmmm. i got 3 (1 cinematic, 2 playable) chapters done, though the campaign itself is not finished. halfway through the 3rd and started the map for the 4th.

EDIT:
View attachment 04 - Unwanted Bloodshed.w3x
a WIP from chapter 3. i'm still messing with the AI editor, and imported the first script into the map. not sure if the AI are attacking though. i checked the AI from Monolith and based most of what's in the script from there. still redoing it XD

 

[67chrome]

Brambleclaw and I are working together as a team, but we are nowhere near done :/

 

[Mechanical Man]

L2love apparently needs triggerers.

You only have 18 days left
Also why am I so lazy, I haven't even started with the third chapter.

3 chapters are enough, if the maps are rich and missions longer.

No wonder...


Nice rolling ronojales, with this rate of churning out maps, you will surely win the contest (if not for anything else, just for being only to finish )


I could join if somebody would like to do a short historical campaign, possibly anything around 1500, as I have most models from that period and period I'm most interested in , just like my italian warz :3

 

[ronojales]

haha if only winning was that easy (disregard my map being importless, untriggered spells, boring terrain )

EDIT:
looks like everyone here's busy. it's already november 4 XD

 

[Switch33]

I just stumbl'd across this thread. Even though it is a bit late does anyone still require a partner? I can do some trigger work, and I have some other skills ofc. I know vJASS and a bunch of random things about the editor. I rather join someone already working though it's a bit late to start a campaign when there is like roughly 16 days left or so. Also just cause I'm a triggerer doesn't mean I can't terrain or anything.

Also from the responses that recently people are suggesting the contest might get extended which would mean I wouldn't be joining super close to the deadline.

 

[Vengeancekael]

God dang it I need some inspiration! All I've done for the past few days is make an ugly and totally small dock

I'm much slower. The terrain is taking so much time that I'm not able to do anything else. And without a triggerer I'm fucked anyway ^^

Gonna add some screenshots later.

 

[Switch33]

I'm joining L2Love since he msged me privately first. Sry Fan, but I wish you good luck.

 

[KayS]

Well, little pieces of work of the second chapter.
Curious question Shall I invert the camera? or something like that...


To do:

-Last Battle.
-Final Boss.
-Adjust the Camera.

 

[ronojales]

soo.. how's everyone doing up? anyone else with at least half of the map done? or done already? it's getting nearer the deadline and we have yet to see a final (or at least a semi-final-just-checking-if-there-are-still-bugs entry)
*found an awful bug in the first map

@KayS
it says Unit missing data or something :O

the AI from the previous map took quite a while before i considered it alright and playable. can't really understand most AI tutorials anywhere :|
but here's the next one. so far it's semi-finished until the choosing part
View attachment 05 - Undead Conspiracy.w3x

 

[Vengeancekael]

Sorry KayS, I'm gonna have to drop out of this one.
Too many tests in the coming weeks.
Maybe you'll be able to still make something using my somewhat finished maps?

 

[Bugz]

No dont leave your mate!

 

[-Kobas-]

Yeah don't drop, maybe will you find some time like hour or 2, it can be really useful in time of need.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Doh, FINE YOU MONSTERS
I'll just skip every other map and get right to the final map. I'll just sum everything up.... on the loading screen image.

 

[ronojales]

you don't have to finish all the 10 chapters! XO

 

[Bugz]

Doh, FINE YOU MONSTERS

I Love you 2 =p, glad to know that you are continueing.

 

[KayS]

Sorry KayS, I'm gonna have to drop out of this one.
Too many tests in the coming weeks.
Maybe you'll be able to still make something using my somewhat finished maps?

Oh!! Nuuuuuu!!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Don't worry I'm still gonna make the last chapter

 

[KayS]

Don't worry I'm still gonna make the last chapter

Ok, No problem

 

[Pharaoh_]

This will be extended a bit, since I don't want it to fail like the last one. If it has a really low number of entries, it will probably be ditched forever as a contest.

 

[67chrome]

I think the major issue is that campaigns are multiple maps, and maps take a ton of time. Fitting everything in to the same time frame allotted to creating one model or one skin is pretty hard to deal with, especially for those who don't even see the contest posted until it is well under way.

From participating in various areas in the Arena one thing I've always wanted to do is just have one really long contest to allow more casual participants to join, I remember one contest I did a fan comic for another site gave 3 months from start to finish.

Also, with the Advertisement thingies not working anymore now that Pyrite has retired and no one capable of dealing with them seems interested in continuing them I'd recommend PMing anyone you think might be interested in joining the contest when it gets started. (I PMed everyone who placed an entry in any of the last ~6 texturing contests to join the current one and that thread got a burst of activity). As this is only the 2nd iteration of this specific contest type I'd recommend checking the map section for people who have done campaigns or maybe mini-mapping contests to see if you can find more interested participants that way, if you're interested in getting more people to join in the fun

 

[Pharaoh_]

That's really nice of you, 67chrome, to get people join via PMs, but to tell you my bitter truth, I don't have much of time for that nor do I know who submits campaigns in the Maps Section, who is active or who would likely be up to it.

The notifications is indeed a pain right now; Rui showed some interest, which I will take advantage of

 

[Vengeancekael]

bitter truth

Woah, I just finished playing To The Bitter End!
Also nice to see this getting extended, I may be able to work more on the last chapter.

 

[ronojales]

This will be extended a bit

yey extension! XD

though really, if only the Notices section is working nicely, this would have been more lively. and looking for terrain, trigger, story-board, etc. partners would be a lot easier.

 

[Mechanical Man]

The problem is that people are wanting to do 20 chapters, while 3 would be more than enough. And the deadline is way too short, not even 2 months, it should be at least 3 months. Making a campaign isn't like doing a single model, yet they have the same deadline.

 

[ronojales]

hmm. so then there's supposed to be something like "minimum of 2 playable maps and maximum of X playable maps" to make the contest not last that long?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Alright our campaign is done.

 

[ronojales]

haha. i had just finished downloading that

 

[-Kobas-]

Alright our campaign is done.

LOL no, this can't be your campaign, he used Do Nothing trigger actions in his map.

 

[Switch33]

A story-driven, single-player action RPG, "To the Bitter End" has been over six years in the making and features an original setting and with completely original characters, abilities, items and spells.

6 years is a bit above the time limit for this contest even with the extension. I think vengeance was just joking.
