Campaigns

[Ralle]

Hello everyone!
I have managed to implement campaign uploads within the map uploads page. Please try it yourself and tell us what you think?
It is still very new and there might be some bugs, try it out and tell us

Ralle

 

[Mechanical Man]

Awesome! Just what I was waiting for. Thanks Ralle!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Great work Ralle, now we just need all of the great campaigns from the past uploaded.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmmm, it appears that the Campaign Icon won't load (the little book) and it shows up as an X with (w3n) in a square

 

[HappyTauren]

Does it "see" protected maps within a campaign?
hmmz.. anyway ralle dis is awsumnez.

 

[Jaakko]

I don't think that the search works properly. I hit the campaign button and used search but there was only one map and it was for ten players... :/

 

[Ralle]

We only have two campaigns yet. Both are RotD, one of them is fixed.

[Pyritie]

Neither of them are fixed. The "fixed" one still has the same bug after the end of map 3.

But nevertheless, this is very good news to hear the campaign section is up and running! I have already submitted mine!

EDIT: Do you need any campaign mods or do the map ones do campaigns too?

 

[Callahan]

Is it allowed to submit incomplete campaign?Because i've submitted mine i never finished and i'm struke by flaming dude bootlickers.
There is currently no rules about campaign submission.

[OutsiderXE]

I was just asking. Don't feel offended so quickly. It' just that I see campaigns as the ultimate perfection of mapping (because they have everything in it, ranging from custom models, AI, Quests, nice Terrain), therefore I expect a complete experience when I download one.

As things stand right now, the campaigns are included among the general maps.

Therefore the Map Submission Rules govern the submission and approval of campaigns.

All maps must be complete upon submission. Saying "this map is not done" and throwing out it to the rest of the community is not very professional. Beta/test maps are one thing, but to submit a map that is blatantly unfinished is only a source of aggravation for players as well as a waste of time and space. Please finish your maps!

As for all resources, moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis which submissions are acceptable.

In the future, it's possible that fully detailed rules set applying specifically to campaigns may developed if users experience a great deal of confusion.

The campaign icon is not showing up, instead a [w3n] shows up. I see lot of campaigns already, though, people were really willing to submit them

I have waited for that category a long time and I am willing to upload them all.. but what should I do with campaigns that are larger than 50MB, like the Wanderers of Sorceria series, BagosQuest, The War of Corruption and Return Of Alisia Dragoon?

 

[Rui]

Doesn't our Map Section allow files of every size? Anyway, careful when submitting certain campaigns. Wanderers of Sorceria, for example, is a great storyline. I still think Campaigns like those should first need the author's permission in order to be submitted. You should, at least, adress to the campaigns' official site.

 

[Callahan]

But incomplete campaigns is not like incomplete map.I'm sorry but you approve map such as random Tag or random maze that offer nothing new to players but you won't approve a campaign with 4 completed map just because it's not finished.
About what Rui said i agree don't submit others people work without permission.

 

[RED BARON]

Off-topic
Where to get that Wanderers of Sorceria from BTW

On-Topic
Good work Ralle, not that I need this option now, but a bit time from now, I surely will need it.

 

[Herogod]

Hah. If I can, I add always the official site but most of the time there isn't any. I never cared for permission. Why? Because the most creators are inactive and I don't want to wait weeks for it.
I better add them as no one would know them as example: The Saga of Azeroth - The Coming of the Horde, if I hadn't it uploaded it in the past on wc3sear.ch no would know it because it was nowhere availably in the internet... Only on the official site. But if no one knows?

Edit:
@RED BARON

You can get it here: http://wos.samods.org/

 

[Rui]

Wanderers of Sorceria's oficial site can be found here.

Uploading all the books is kind of hard.

 

[Jaakko]

Why is that?

If you really have Bago's Quest please give the link for download. Old link -wc3sear.ch is dead ! Thanks!

 

[Herogod]

Ok.. I have tried to upload Return Of Alisia Dragoon but after the long uploading it didn't work.. because its larger than 50MB!
BagosQuest is ~89MB and @ tuzec I dont know where u can download it!
And.. my upload is only about 10kb... yeah very slow... and it sucks that the upload was for nothing

 

[RED BARON]

If you really have Bago's Quest please give the link for download. Old link -wc3sear.ch is dead ! Thanks!

Actualy it is still posiable to acces wc3sear.ch
I am looking in spells right now.

 

[Herogod]

Aha. Great, but Maps isnt working!

So, could Ralle extend the Max Size to 90MB?

 

[Rui]

Why is that?

Because every book is around 50 MB. 50 x 5 = 250. Actually, the latest books are much bigger.

 

[Jaakko]

250 Mb isn't that big.

 

[RED BARON]

The correct is: 50+52+55+50+75 = 282mb

 

[Rui]

As I said, the last book was bigger.

 

[SantaBla]

Who can upload it? I really like WoS and would really like to see it on this site.

Can't the webmaster increase the upload size limit? Just asking.

 

[RED BARON]

Then why dont you dl it from the original site, which is postet in this tread?

 

[Ralle]

What do you want it increased to?

I might make an anonymous FTP user for people to upload maps. Then I can import them from there. That might be the easiest solution.

I will also soon start importing wc3sear.ch's campaigns

 

[RED BARON]

Good, but do check them out first, many of them are unfinished... or like 1-2 chapters long....

To 80 mb because the last book of Wanderers of Sorceria is 75 mb... And who knows, Wanderers of Sorceria book 6 might be even more.

I wonder who can upload them though.

 

[RED BARON]

AS said you can dl them fron the original site, which means nearly everyone can upload it... the only need to upload on the hive would be to allow more users to have acces to it. If you want to add to the hive, go dl it from original site (see the below link) and then upload it... If doesnt think you would be able to uplpoad it, I got all of it, and will be able to upload if realy needed....
Now back to topic, discussion about one campaign realy doesnt belong here

 

[SantaBla]

Yeah but do you have the latest versions because some of them were updated. The problem is the limit too. If you can upload them, please do because I don't think I can with my crappy connection.

 

[SantaBla]

Sorry for double posting but I want to know if there's anyone who will put them on the site.

Have fun.

 

[Deckboy]

>claps<

Sorry for the late reply.

Great work Ralle.

 

[SantaBla]

Um I'm not seeing Wanderers of Sorceria getting uploaded here.

 

[Pyritie]

Maybe because they don't want it to be uploaded? Or maybe nobody has the campaign file...

 

[Lich_King Wrath]

I worked on my first campaign...I will realease them 30 days ago...

 

[Rui]

Is that a reason to revive the topic?

 

[SantaBla]

Hey cool you guys finally uploaded WoS book 1 & 2. Will you guys update the rest too?

Furthermore, I find the server to be quite slow. So it takes some to download anything from the hive.

 

[Pyritie]

It takes time to download anything that big of a size.

And don't revive a month-old thread.

That is not exactly a year. Please leave the decission of whether or not it is okay to revive a thread up to the administration. If you feel it is an unnescesary revival then do report it but let it be in the actual thread, thanks.

 

[SantaBla]

No necroposting.
"Necroposting" is the act of posting in a thread that is over two weeks old and not on the first page of threads without a good reason to do so (By Mecheon and my judment, that is) or moderator permission to do so.

That was said by MySpaceBarBroke. I think he's a moderator.

The thread was on the first page.

When I say it's slow, i mean the download speed for me is like 5-10 kb per sec and I'm not sure if it's even possible to resume broken downloads.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

No he is not a moderator. Having a lot of posts does not make you a moderator by default.

At this time, it is not possible to resume stopped downloads. As for the download speed, it can be affected by how busy the site is (the current bandwidth usage), your geographical location, the internet in general, and any other things you might be downloading at the same time.
