How to play custom campaigns?

[Barade]

I placed two custom campaigns in the folder "C:\Users\bla\Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns". Where can I play them?!

 

[deepstrasz]

What game version etc. etc.

 

[Barade]

Just the latest Reforged version. Added for example LotCe06.w3n.

 

[deepstrasz]

Currently, Reforged (including Classic 1.32) has no Custom Campaign menu. Your best option right now is loading the .w3n via the World Editor's Campaign Editor. Then load the first map via the Campaign Editor and play it through the Test Map button.

lol that's sad.

But do campaign imports work? Afaik, testing a campaign map through the Test Map Button only shows the Map Imports, the campaign imports will show as green boxes in-game.

It's been years since I touched the editor so I don't remember - do game caches persist between maps when using World Editor to play?

I'm not sure, probably yes. Testing is required to be sure.

Yeah, that might be a valid problem if the imports are made via the Campaign Editor's Import Manager instead of each map's/the editor's Import Manager.

Why don't they just list the custom campaigns next to the normal campaigns?! Are there any statements why it is not working or when it will be fixed?

There was a cheap and short reply after people complained about it.
Possibly there was no intent to have the option since StarCraft II doesn't and since Reforged (well earlier than that) moved to CASC, they might have wanted to make a similar Arcade Custom Games platform for Warcraft III as well.

Just an idea (I don't have reforged/1.32 so can't test): maybe it's possible to edit menu ui and add the custom campaign button back in manually? I know it doesn't use FDF anymore so it can't be copied straight from 1.31-, but maybe the same object names are used or something?

Playing from editor will not work as it wont load custom campaign data like models or spells. Your best bet is to download the 1.31 PTR

Ok and how the map of campaing can be edited on world editor of the reforged without bug when try play???

Where I download the classic map editor??

WC3 1.31 PTR may no longer be available. I can't find it in the www.battle.net account settings anymore.

Campaign maps can't be played in Reforged.

Blizz has said that they'll be adding Custom Campaigns back in a future update. How far into the future, nobody knows.

 

[Kordan]

Blizz are fucking morons
