I need help with Campaigns

[Ironside]

Hello, I am making a campaign, so far i have 5 maps for it. Well the problem is, i add the buttons, they are all visible, i have all the set next level stuff and all.

But Chapter 4 and 5 don't run (not with clicking them in camapign, and not through set next level in chapter 3 to 4...) I don't know how this happened, any help is nice

 

[Ironside]

Bump

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

sure you uploaded the right maps to the buttons? I'm not that much into campaigning, but that'd be a solution, i reckon. A failed filepath, perhaps? not all 3 maps are made with the same version of WCIII? i just shoot a bit, might get you somewhere!

 

[Ironside]

I've just double checked, none of those solutions work.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Well, that's all the solutions i could think of, well, you might want to get someone else to get it for you. maybe post it in triggers, to make them check if there's a trigger bug.

Invalid Map Script; you shall recheck them.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Haaalelujah! a light from above to the rescue. Let's hope it works.

 

[Ironside]

Invalid map script? i don't use JASS in any of them, and the campaign, has all maps imported same way, which means it can't be the campaign or the maps I'd guess ...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I'll just be on my way now.

 

[Ironside]

News: I edited one of the maps not working, deleted all imports, checked again worked... Any fast and good way to find wich file is the problem?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

wasn't it all of them? i don't think there's an easy way. but try to piece them back together, and if it works, you won't need a solution.

 

[Fimbus]

If there's something wrong with your imports the only way is to test each and every one of them (afaik)

 

[-ALPHA-]

As a rule of thumb (for me at least), you should avoid importing material into the individual maps since you can add them to the Imported Files tab in the Campaign Editor. It's happened that an individual map over 4MB will not be loaded in the campaign.

SO. Your imports might be fine. Just don't cram them into the map's import manager - use the campaign editor's.

 

[Fimbus]

To be a copycat of mr. ALPHA, yea place all your downloaded files in the campaign tab.
(oh and have some +rep ALPHA )

 

[Ironside]

Well as for the over 4mb limit for campaign, i don't think so, all of them are over 10mb i guess... As for to import them in campaign editor... how can i use them then...

 

[Fimbus]

If you've imported the files to the campaign they work as good as if they'd been downloaded in the maps.
And by the 4mb limit; I think that ALPHA meant that the maps can't be over 4mb, but the campaign can.

 

[Ironside]

So if my campaign has the imported material, all maps in it can use them?

 

[Fimbus]

Yep

 

[Ironside]

Ok thank you all, reduced all maps size to less than 8mb and works now (limit is 8mb not 4mb) +rep to all 3 of you.

 

[-ALPHA-]

Ok thank you all, reduced all maps size to less than 8mb and works now (limit is 8mb not 4mb) +rep to all 3 of you.

That would be the new patch at work I guess. Good luck with all your future campaigning!

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Aye! Let me hear from you when your campaign gets published ^^ thanks for rep! you got me my 5th gem ^^

 

[Ironside]

Ah no i won't "publish" it to hive... Reasons:

I suck at terraining, grammar is bad in map, the cinematics suck, so if i'd upload it, i'd just get the usual epic fail tag and rejected, so no...

It's just for myself and my friends, who will want to play it...

 

[Fimbus]

I suck at terraining, grammar is bad in map, the cinematics suck, so if i'd upload it, i'd just get the usual epic fail tag and rejected, so no...

You could always ask for help here at the hive

 

[Ironside]

Ah I don't even get an answer on my request for Gorgons Eyes spell... Which i need for Gorgon in this campaign...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

... okay.. i'm an excellent speller, and i've worked with dyslectics, so i should do the trick if you need help with grammar and such.

 

[Ironside]

No you really don't have to... i have none yet approved maps on hive, and i'm 90% sure this campaign woulden't get approved...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

You just need a good mapper to check it through for you. Yes, i think hive's too harsh too, but you just gotta learn from each time. I won't mind checking it through for you. My maps haven't got specially acclaimed, but i haven't really tried...

 

[Ironside]

Anyway, the campaign isn't finished, and it can't be without the Gorgons Eyes spell... I guess i'll tell you when it's done then...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Lookin' forward to it!

 

[Ironside]

Hmm well i got someone that will make it, if he wil make it correctly, and working, i'm ready to finish the campaign.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Hmm... that sounds nice... what does the spell do? freeze x enemies in a cone? or so?

 

[Ironside]

Nono, every unit that looks into gorgons eyes, and gorgon into him, will get paused, animation speed to 0% and vertex coloring to 10-20% for all 3 colors. lasts for ever ofc.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Okay... so it's passive, all just in front of the gorgon? or targeted?

 

[Ironside]

Passive;
All units in 750 from Gorgon, witch match that they are looking directly into gorgons eyes, and Gorgon looks at their eyes.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Oh! that's a Very simple trigger... although it'll be almost impossible to do EXACTLY unless the gorgon strikes at the target, while the target strikes at the gorgon, in melee. Or, if a border is applied, like it have to be within 25 degrees... I could do this pretty fast in GUI... but, only on one of these premises:
1st: the gorgon must be the same, not replaced or removed and a new placed at any point in the map.
2nd: A repeating trigger, each 0.01 or so seconds.
3rd: there's an ability, that makes you activate the eyes.

But! you said you already had a guy doing it. That's what i could do. In GUI. possibly more, if i used some more time to think about it.

 

[Ironside]

Well if the one who said he will do, won't dp it right, then your idea isn't bad, since the Gorgon stays always same. As for the activate the eyes, i could make at melee initilization to activate the eyes for gorgon...

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yes... you could... i don't get why... but, well if you want to ^^

 

[Ironside]

You mean why i would activate the eyes on melee initilization already? Well that is because every enemy, friend, natural non building turns to stone when they look into each others eyes, so before the main hero comes to gorgon i expect some stones to already random be there + the ones i place in stone already

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

okay... that makes a bit more sense ^^

 

[Ironside]

Ok, happy that i made sense

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah... ^^ did the guy respond with the spell?

 

[Ironside]

Yes, the spell is done, 100% perfect as i need it
I can now finaly continiue the campaign.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

That sounds great! give a call!

 

[Ironside]

That sounds great! give a call!

What do you mean by "give a call!" ?

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

that you can message me when it's more complete ^^

 

[Ironside]

Oh ok

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

^^ then we're set ^^

 

[Ironside]

Well, as the gorgons eyes are now configured correctly, i can finish this chapter and move to the final few.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Great!
