IS COOL MEN

 

[Elf_Lord]

Look here for patch notes and other miscellaneous announcements...

New version released, finally fixing the infamous Stables glitch!

Also, if you played Mission 3 on version 1.02.03 and Landgren is not properly spawning in Mission 4, you will have to do the following to fix the issue:

Spoiler

Step 1: Reload a save from Mission 3.
Step 2: Restart and replay Mission 3 on version 1.02.04.

You can cheat. Do whatever you have to do to finish the mission. Unfortunately this glitch has to do with the game cache and does require a reset of the Mission 3 game cache.

This fix should not be necessary. I have received no reports of this issue. This is merely a remote possibility I noticed while doing some fixes to Mission 3.

Current Version: 1.02.04

 

[dell]

Good

 

[CY The UnGodly]

Yes! XD the demo is here D and it's a campaign about Scarlet Crusade yipee!

 

[HassaN99]

Wow A campaign about Scarlet Crusade Cool

 

[DarkSword123]

Holy shit i've never seen a scarlet crusade campaign done this well there was never a fully flesh out campaign about them before i admire you to do such a thing all voice acted different tech trees terrain looks pretty nice too i love it and i'm gonna download it and play it right away

 

[LyunAvine]

I just started the intro and WOW! Its really detailed and really well made!

 

[LyunAvine]

How do you go to the road? I can clearly see the road but when I try to walk there, invisible wall is blocking me from going down the slope. Its the part where I spawn at the camp in first person view.

Edit: I already solved it but, at the next mission, the Garrison has too many trainable units that it cannot be upgraded to an outpost because the option to do so has no space I think.

 

[Ardenaso]

Oh my goodness! A Scarlet Crusade map! I give this 4/5 already and I may turn it into 5/5 after I play it.

 

[ShadowShaman.mn]

I would certainly try this if I had wc3 installed.

 

[Ardenaso]

Okay, some problems

Chapter 01: The melee unit is really weak. At least give him some Defend skill or change his armor type.
Chapter 03: The Garrison can train all units and I can't upgrade it into an Outpost.
Chapter 04: I didn't get Landgren and problem again with the Garrison.

Also, there should be a "reset" talents option, as I get confused with where I placed my talents. And Judgment doesn't do the promised heal when I put my talent to it.

 

[MouMou]

You my dear whoever created scarlet crusade campaign are the first in a history Of hive to do so

 

[Elf_Lord]

Okay. I have never had the second problem before nor the third. I will check those immediately.

UPDATE: Should be fixed. Thanks for the quick responses, everyone!

 

[highdensity]

yay a new custom campaign! i ran out of maps to play a while back after the arkain chronicles stopped

 

[Keal]

Cool Campaign i like the Upgrade and Skill options.



Got the same problem with the Garrisons. Also with the Garrions bug occuring Conscripts take 2 Food Space instead of one.
Third chapter: there is a random captian shelby next to the Graveyard in the middle of the map.

 

[WarLord69]

This is so awesome

 

[deepstrasz]

Is it finished? I've read a comment here about it being a demo.

 

[Elf_Lord]

This is not a demo. This is the full version of Part 1 of the campaign (there are three parts). This campaign takes place in the Plaguelands then the Dragonblight then Icecrown, and at the moment only Part 1 is finished. I will update this campaign with Parts 2 and 3 as I finish them (whenever that might be), and your save data will carry over. My immediate project is to release an extra bonus mission for Part 1, which will be finished in a few weeks.

 

[LyunAvine]

Is it possible to make the movement speed in First person mode faster? It takes ages to walk

Edit: Soldiers do not benefit from damage upgrades, some descriptions of skills do not match with what they actually do. When defending the castle, the undead don't really attack you that heavily, and when the timer is up, nothing really happens until I attacked them, then it ended. In first person mode after 3rd mission, the view is glitched, I cannot see what is above me until I go down the slope to the first floor. And during the 5th mission, when the tower drops down, after this cinematic, the entire map goes black and I can't see anything, probably a glitch too.

I will hotfix as many of these as possible tonight. However, I would like to know to which skills you are referring. To my knowledge, all of my skill descriptions are correct.

Spoiler

It is also worth noting that Mission 4 is supposed to continue approx. 5 minutes past the timer, just to do something different. That was intentional and the mission ending had nothing to do with your attacking Scourge bases. The lack of AI difficulty is concerning, however; I had to rapidly repair that AI right before release and did not have a chance to retest it before posting. I will do a full playthrough of that mission in the next few days and assess difficulty.

I also forgot. The Hunter doesn't spawn with his hound and Sally Whitemane has no voice. Also, here is a better model for her.

Well, in the hero description, Crusader strike only deals 75dmg, but in reality it deals 300 as mentioned in the talent page. Same goes for Landgren, his ability should heal 200 and recover 50 mana, but it uses Lich's frost armor instead, probably forgot to tweak it. Mission 5 is probably impossible, the skeletons spawn nonstop and I only have a hero and 2 offensive units, found my way to Landgren in pitch black darkness, but after the cinematic it just freezes at cinematic page with no dialogues and black screen.

 

[CY The UnGodly]

Do Banshees here really have heavy armor? 0_0 as if the curse and banish wasn't annoying enough XD P.S. are there any secrets in this campaign? like a bit puzzles and riddles for good items and such?

Ditto. I should at least see where to go as I have no idea where to move on that mission. Also, Street's starting mana is low and he has low mana regeneration.

 

[DarkSword123]

OK i finally finish it there's a lot of glitches in first person mode all of the troops soldiers and such benefit nothing from weapons upgrade they're increase a little bit of armor and are tougher to kill in chapter 3 after seeing the lich king command the massive army about to invade the castle makes me so happy i pooped a little after changing my pants i was dissapointed to see the undead did not attack at all unless provoke the timer run out but nothing happens and please let me see the talent point system because holy shit i do not know whether i have a talen point or not because everytime i check with the church or with the tent with the holy light i can access it but upgrade no skill whatsoever basically it's a good campaign and have good thought put into it it's just the hand who made it were bad

I have done my best to add a lot of Easter eggs and such to the game (how many varies by difficulty level). I'm honestly not sure how many off the top of my head, but typically they're not of the riddle/mind game variety. Typically they're more of the hidden area/mini-boss variety. That's something to consider for later chapters, though.

The soldier weapon upgrade issue should have been corrected in a hotfix. It is incredibly strange that Mission 4 AI is not working properly because its setup is no different from Mission 3's but I have received previous reports of that AI not being particularly effective. I will run a quick play test on it now and see what's going on. As for talent points, you get one every time you level up Abbendis.

UPDATE: A hotfix I did for the Mission 4 AI prior to release caused a fatal error in the scripting. It has been corrected.

Hey elf lord when you are done with scarlet crusade campaign would you create scarlet crusade sequel ? or create more random campaigns?

 

[Elf_Lord]

The plan is to take the Crusade all the way to its conclusion in Northrend. After that... who knows? I'll be surprised if I get that far.

 

[BABA]

Awesome man. You have better trailer from 70% of new games
10/5 for Vrykul in your campagn

 

[Formidable10]

Hey Elf_Lord, I have been playing your campaign. Really high quality in both production value and triggers. The cutscenes and voice acting are really good as well, including the Hub system where you can upgrade your units and talents.


Normally I would review this game but I feel that's its too incomplete in its current stage. It's also really really hard, even on normal difficulty. Please make normal difficulty easier or add an easy mode, sorry I am a casual player I just wanted to play the game for the story.

But yeah I do plan to make a review for your campaign after it goes through some updates. I look forward to seeing how your campaign will turn out.

 

[aeman]

hey how to finish the mission where you need to rendevous(forgive me if im spell it wrong) with high abbot, im simply just do the mission, escape from gothik and noth but when i meet with high abbot the game freezes in the blank state after she say to create formation, the game freeze in blank black cinematic state

 

[Ardenaso]

I'm not sure if it's fixed but in Chapter 3, when I attacked the first undead I met, it's like the whole enemy team retaliated against me. Also, after I got with Landgren, I can't move.

Btw, you should create a changelog.

 

[furyuS]

10/10! Cant wait for part 2

There is a changelog on my first post. My testers have also noted the massive retaliation issue with the Chapter 3 AI. I will be looking at it this weekend as well as the Chapter 4 AI to make sure everything functions as it should.

Also, what do you mean "got with Landgren?" Mission 4 or Mission 5? I'm assuming Mission 5.

 

[MouMou]

I played the campaign and stop playing it not because i wanted to, so here's a problem
the penance ability give frost armor for some reason
Chapter 3 nothing happen after timing of when the courier arrive(it's a reason why i stop playing and don't know what to do but use the whosyourdaddy cheat and kill every undead forces including arthas)
The unit transmission did not finished and skip to another unit transmission

note to self:should learn to stop using the word AND to much....

I'm assuming you're referencing Mission 4, in which case the end of the timer not coinciding with the end of the mission is deliberate. One thing I've been experimenting with in Mission 4 (as well as in some later missions for Parts 2 and 3) is the events described on the timer not actually occurring, leaving the characters (and the player) hanging while they try to figure out their next moves. This is not a glitch. Storyline-wise the courier Abbendis is expecting doesn't arrive (in WoW, the DK player goes and kills him, etc.), and I deliberately left the player a few minutes before the end of the game hoping to invoke a feeling of, "Well, what do I do now?" Obviously, with the amount of glitches I've had in the game so far, it is entirely reasonable that people just assume this is another one, and I will consider removing or otherwise changing this system to make it more clear what is happening. For now, note that the mission ends precisely five minutes after the original timer ends.

As for the Frost Armor thing, I've gotten that report before but never experienced it myself. There is absolutely no reason that should be happening (as Penance isn't even based on Frost Armor and has no connection to it at all whatsoever) but I will look into that.

EDIT: Yes, you are correct. For whatever reason Penance is firing Frost Armor and not firing a) the GUI portion of its ability or b) its actual data-driven portion of the ability. I think I know how to fix it, though. I will correct this immediately.

 

[Ardenaso]

what do you mean "got with Landgren?" Mission 4 or Mission 5? I'm assuming Mission 5.

Yes, mission 5. The cinematic still won't fade out even at the latest version when I rendezvous with Landgren.

 

[MouMou]

I will played your again campaign if you fix all problems(penance use frost armor for example)

 

[Elf_Lord]

Yes, mission 5. The cinematic still won't fade out even at the latest version when I rendezvous with Landgren.

OH. You mean it won't leave cinematic mode. Sorry, I misunderstood you. I have just corrected that, and the updated version will be released once I figure out this...

I will played your again campaign if you fix all problems(penance use frost armor for example)

Working on that presently.

 

[pasha]

[Elf_Lord]

1.i cant get landgren

2. cavelries cant use a horse

plese fix the bugs

I'm about to release a fix for the first two bugs. As for the cavalry, I just tested that successfully before my last hotfix days ago but I will double-check.

EDIT: Fixed and implemented.

 

[Ardenaso]

Okay, I do not have Abbendis this time on Chapter 1, also is this map not compatible with 1.27b? Because I do not see the loading title, subtitle and description of each chapter/interlude.

 

[corvus_mortis]

there is an error.
I can not save the game and the chapters are not saved.
please help.

I just had this mission tested and this problem did not occur... I'm assuming you restarted the campaign? Or are you replaying missions?

Also, I have not given titles, subtitles, or chapter descriptions on my missions.

 

[Pokemanharald]

- On chapter four i think when you defend Havenshire and get landgren his spell says it heals and resotres mana but it is a frost armor
- During chapter 3 i was really confused after destorying the necropolises, had no idea what to do. also recources seem very limited on this level and i almost got no attacks, not sure if intented. Think they ended up at the second gold mine base and got stuck there
- after chapter 3 when i tried to skill a talen point i noticed 3-4 of them on tier 1 disapered and 2 spells on tier 2 unlocked, is it meant to be this way?
- This is something that happend at least once in all chapters i think and that is the dialoge didn't get time to finish before another started. this specially happend during chapter 4 and 5

Besides from that i love this so much, abseloutly well done with voice acting and peformence. Looking forward to more!

I am aware of the Landgren issue. I'm actively trying to fix that but it's surprisingly difficult because I honestly don't know why it's occurring. That spell has absolutely no connection to Frost Armor.

Chapter 3 you have to destroy every Scourge Necropolis and Halls of the Dead. Basically any of their command structures. Resources are deliberately limited. If this becomes a significant hindrance to gameplay I will fix it. It's meant to force you to protect your allies.

Certain talents, particularly in Tiers 1 and 3, preclude you from getting other talents. For instance, if you get Hammer of Justice, it turns off Judgment of Light and Conviction (and anything unlocked by these two) because getting all of them would seriously overpower the Judgment ability.

Some dialogue audio was recently added and I may have mistakenly set wrong run times on them. I will double-check.

 

[Elf_Lord]

there is an error.
I can not save the game and the chapters are not saved.

Um, well, how the campaign screen setup should work is that it will always have the latest mission available to you; it won't let you replay previous missions until you finish all the available missions in order. If I release a new version and you appear to have lost your progress, just start a new game and you will be prompted to reload your previous progress if you got past Mission 1.

 

[Rufus]

Approved.
Awesome voice acting, awesome opening cinematic.
A well made continuation of the original wc3 campaigns.
