You do notice there's an "add map" if you click edit now, right? If not, it's there for you to upload every map to make this bundled.

My comment was more a general question about to what extent hiveworkshop will allow these types of edits to occur, not specifically aimed against you.
As for the save/load system, in the future, I can send you a simple-to-use template that I use for my coop campaign, which can allow you to save/load heroes abilities/items/tomes. You can just copy paste it in. Though there are many other simple save/load systems on hive that might be better.
Well I am gonna keep it a secret for now, but all I can tell you is that the original author also hasn't been online for a year now.. and the project will be something something like remake of WCII campaign into WCIII, which I also really enjoyed playing. I will leave the author a message someday, once I consider this COOP campaign finished.. because as I have mentioned, the current project Forgotten War still has a lot to improve.Just out of curiosity, I think on your previous version you posted, you were planning on doing coop versions for other custom campaigns on hive. Are you planning on keeping them a secret for now, or are we allowed to ask what you might look at after this project?
The idea of coop campaigns is something that is pretty popular I think, it should be received well.Well I am gonna keep it a secret for now, but all I can tell you is that the original author also hasn't been online for a year now.. and the project will be something something like remake of WCII campaign into WCIII, which I also really enjoyed playing.

Also, I don't want to run out of ideas and get too bored of editing it(that's why I'm also delaying the updates to early-mid september, so I can "refresh" my ideas and the eagerness to fix it and edit it further to make it at least close to perfection)
But don't worry, I will tell you guys about it sooner or later.(also it depends on the reviews of this campaign, if people will dislike it, there won't be any reason to start a new project.)

1- The Coming of the Horde (wc1)
Oh yeah, my bad. I accidentally put one more I in the word WCI.. You are right, that was another campaign I was considering to convert. Buut I'm definitely not gonna bother with it, it's just an idea saved for later(and with approval of Deicide/Herogod, or both.)
Technically, he is allowed to upload it, but if Forestddefender ever requests it be taken down, staff will remove it from hiveworkshop.If not its a wasted effort against the rules.
Hi. I was working with Deicide in the recent year when i was given his SoA2 Beta campaign to upload. Sequal to his SoA1 coming of the Horde.
Id reccommend against editing the campaign since you intend to do edits beyond co-op
And did you get permission from Forestdefender to edit this campaign?
If not its a wasted effort against the rules.
And since your edits go beyond coop but you want to add a bunch of stuff you should probably just do your own original campaign in my opinion.
Tally ho
Technically, he is allowed to upload it, but if Forestddefender ever requests it be taken down, staff will remove it from hiveworkshop.
Whether moderators will approve/substandard the map is another matter.
I agree though, maybe keep the campaign as faithful to the original as possible. Forgotten War was an excellent campaign, it would not really need extra stuff.

Hey, as I said before in the comments.. I have tried to contact them, I managed to send a message to Tuzec, but I didn't find ForestDefender anywhere.. if I missed him, send me a link to his profile or a way to contact him, I would like to consult it first.
And once again, as I said, it's all up to the moderators. If they wish to remove this, or won't approve this campaign, so be it. It would be a shame though.
And if you say it wouldn't be a good idea, then so be it. Good thing I haven't even started yet.
I might edit it again and change the things back to the original way they were(although I haven't made too many changes, only filled the empty places where literally NOTHING was there with trees, and removed trees where they blocked the path for multiple units for no reason.. because I found it was a shame there were so many empty places. Oh, and removed a few cinematics too(or fixed them for the players not be able to manipulate with units in the cinematics, which was very annoying when me and Fallby(a friend of mine) were testing it.)
Ahhh, those kind of changes. I thought you were radically changing stuff.I might edit it again and change the things back to the original way they were(although I haven't made too many changes, only filled the empty places where literally NOTHING was there with trees, and removed trees where they blocked the path for multiple units for no reason.. because I found it was a shame there were so many empty places.
Would Shar or Razorclaw be happy if their arkain or wanderers of sorceria stuff we reuploaded by another person with edits?
A person should have to come back to defend their work after its been distributed in edited form after the fact?
I think not
Not a fan of this. If he cant reach forestdefender.
Too bad?
Tuzec is not the creator . Tuzec has 0 input on Forgotten War. He cant give you permission to even change the grammar let al9ne edit it in entirety.
All they would need to do is request it be taken down.Would Shar or Razorclaw be happy if their arkain or wanderers of sorceria stuff we reuploaded by another person with edits?
I think you mean "shouldn't". Well, it is like adverse possession/squatting--- people can literally steal your property if you do not use it. I know this is a terrible example, but one of the reasons the onus is placed on the "victims" is because it is not productive to have things forever belong to one person and not be "used".A person should have to come back to defend their work after its been distributed in edited form after the fact.
He have proper credits and everything. I don't think this can be interpreted as stealing in anyway.Not a fan of this. If he cant reach forestdefender.
So what are you saying then? To remove this? I will wait for a mod to show up anyway, since they are the ones to judge.. And I thought it would be good to contact at least *someone*, and tuzec was my only possibility other than ForestDefender.
If they come back and request is be taken down, then mods take it down.How would you feel about edits to your work without being asked if you were unable to be found.

If I am not mistaken, you are the one who uploaded the Mathias campaign series to hive. Did you ask Potato for his permission?![]()
Exactly. There was a brief quarrel when the original author came and started barking that it was his work and not he uploader's. Still, we have to thank the uploader for bringing the stuff in but that is entirely a different situation. One thing is to upload something and another is to also edit it.If I am not mistaken, you are the one who uploaded the Mathias campaign series to hive. Did you ask Potato for his permission?![]()
Yea, true. Though I was more focusing on if the author is not around, then the correct approach is not so clear.Exactly.

Features I am about to add/edit:
-Easter eggs, secrets
-More encounters
-More rewarding quests
-Rebalance difficulty after reading your reviews
-Adjust terrain further
-Fuse the cinematics together
Regarding this:
Just fyi, if anyone was to make anything Arkain related, it is me only.
I would be very unhappy to see anyone upload edits of my work without my permission.
Sadly we all become legends one day and things like these are bound to happen regardless.Just fyi, if anyone was to make anything Arkain related, it is me only.

SoA - Coming of the Horde V2.0Thats really the point isnt it? Editing something not preserving its continued existence
Let's hope you will still be right.That counts now, that will count when I am long gone from this website.
@deepstrasz:
I stated several times that I do not tolerate that happening with my project.
That counts now, that will count when I am long gone from this website.
Nothing to discuss.
I will always be.Let's hope you will still be right.
If the Hive was indeed down, I was gone and the campaigns were otherwise untouched, yes. That is, for me, absolutely legit.But it being archived if say hiveworkshop goes goodbye to appear as it was originally made by you on a new main wc3 site would be an exception? All credits given to creator also obviously
What/who gives anyone permission to edit BlizzEnt campaigns/maps?Difference is i had creators permission.
this guy does not.
The companys ToS with the world editor gives them permission.What/who gives anyone permission to edit BlizzEnt campaigns/maps?
Judging by that we can more than extrapolate that the EULA makes everything in the WE ActiBlizz's therefore communistically everyone's.The companys ToS with the world editor gives them permission.

That's different. I'm specifically referring to things that are still in Warcraft III format.Blizzard tried that with Dota 2
Doesnt work that way.

You'd be surprised how well received this stuff is. Take a look at the dozens we already have since the 2p campaigns.players would also find it shitty practice.
No need to discuss corporate whatboutism
Shar thinks its shitty practice
I think its shitty practice
And im sure a vast majority of content creators across all different types of games and players would also find it shitty practice.

If this is such a "shitty practice" then tell the mods, they will know what to do. I have already said this once, or twice. It's all up to mods or ForestDefender to decide what will happen with this.. project.
Also up to people who actually give this a try and tell me what's wrong with it.
That's not what I mean by someone(don't take this personally) who hasn't even tried it, yet tells me how wrong and bad and shitty practice it is.
You obviously dont give a shit so that speaks volumes about your character and integrity or lack thereof.
Its unfortunate you couldnt get ahold of ForestDefender about his 15 year old campaign.
That doesnt entitle you to do it anyway.
I mean your original intent was heavy edits with your campaign description.
People have to get express permission for just translations of campaigns from creators
This is far disconnected from anything i would think is acceptable but you do you.

That doesnt entitle you to edit it and post his name in credits of HIS campaign you altered and act like its okay if some random mod gives you a nod of approval.
I don't think you have to be so aggressive. I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but I had to write Deepstrasz a line that he could upload to the Part 2 of the Coming of the Horde campaign, since you did not put effort into clearly marking who was the author of that campaign. Some might say this was a lack of respect for the author on your part.You obviously dont give a shit so that speaks volumes about your character and integrity or lack thereof.
Hive rule #2 for map submission states "...no license or message denying people from submitting a version of the map...."
So you using @ on people doesn't really make sense, since as soon as they come here and say they don't want their version uploaded, they are automatically removed from the group of people we are discussing
Mod can only really decided if it is approved or not. As long as author leaves no message about no uploads, it can be uploaded to hiveworkshop.

2- Winds of the Storm
Don't take this as a personal attack. I am sure you did not mean any disrespect to the author. I am just trying to say that it is unfair of you to judge someone's character so easily, and I don't think toxic writing helps anyone.
Uhh how exactly have you found out that I "dont give a shit"? If I didn't give a shit, I wouldn't even type original author's name in the description, nor the description of the maps that have FORESTDEFENDER in it. As well as in the file called "Credits".. Also I wouldn't even reply to this, if I didn't care.
I don't mean to quarrel with you, nor with anyone else.. because there is no need to.
Look at it this way, it's like some musician mixing another's track.You care about authors wishes so much when you couldnt find him you said fuck it and uploaded anyway.
Because thats whats happening here
Ill make sure to include rainbows and hugs next time i call someone out for editing others work.
Look at it this way, it's like some musician mixing another's track.
And what should have I done? Wait patiently for something that wouldn't most definitely happen, since I didn't manage to contact him?
I will say this one last time. I will wait for a mod to tell me what to do or what he will do himself.. Or ForestDefender.
I agree to this point of view, but I doubt Anaxie will as well..
More whatboutismLook at it this way, it's like some musician mixing another's track.
Think of it as a sort of cover then.More whatboutism
Also music is notorious for copyright lawsuits so not the best example
Or even a custom campaignThink of it as a sort of cover then.
List of countries' copyright lengths - WikipediaIts an unwritten code of conduct for mod creations for any game to respect and authors wishes and seek their approval before using their work IN ALL GAMES. And its treated as the norm because its common sense.
