This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
This is the Installer Archive for Lorecraft Designs Campaings.
The bundle willbe periodically updated with every new act or campaign released.
This assets installe willbe compatible with Rise of The Alliance and Tides of Darkness patch 2.0 campaings.

Tutorial:


Troubleshooting.

Here is the link to the asset archive for manual installation:
You can unpack the zip archive into "retail" folder in the WC3 game client folder.
If this is the first time you installing the mod and installer didnt work, unpack the archive into retail and then move the AllowLocalFIles.reg in the warcraft 3 client folder and right click on it and execute or add it to windows registry.
Warcraft 3 game client or world editor should not be launched during istallation or manual unpacking. The mod adds modifies .slk files and if installation is performed with game or editor launched in parallel - it can corrupt the game files.

LoreCraft Asset Installer (Binary)

I downloaded today on windows 11, restarted my pc, Allowed Local Files, allowed old terrain... None of the orc models are displayed and terrain is black, in short campaign is unplayable for me. Can someone confirm that its working as intended? Now im getting error in the image.

the corruption might have happened if the warcraft 3 client or editor were launched during installation. Uninstall the mod and try again.
In the video you can see how to uninstall.
 
Thanks for your reply. I tried that, maybe the install file itself is corrupted when downloaded? Can you provide a cheksum?
 
Hi, got the exact same issue as the previous commenter. Reinstalled wc3 itself, then used the lorecraft installer, rebooted, nothing worked.
Even the manual pack seems to give the same issue.
 
hi I have a problem with the icons of the heroes and abilities. they all appear in green
Read the previous comments. You literally messed up during the installation process, specifically putting that asset in the game root.

If the problem still persists, try using the manual method. Make sure you don't open either WC3 or WE during the installation process, and that you have to reboot your system after the installation.

Hi guys,
hello guys
I think I know why the characters don't appear after installation. It seems to be a problem due to the security in windows 11 (I think since the last 2 updates) which no longer lets you write directly to the registry.
I downloaded the files manually from here and wrote the AllowLocalFiles registry key manually and now it works. I'm posting the archive with the registry key for anyone interested (the key is removed from post 5)

hi I have a problem with the icons of the heroes and abilities. They all appear in green and none of the orc models are displayed and terrain is black.
1.Make sure you have the latest Warcraft III: Reforged patch from Battle.net (currently v2.0.4.23745).
2.Make sure you enable the Reforged mode in-game (everything set to Reforged HD; Classic HD is unsupported).
3.Make sure you enable the Old Terrain option (this is also essential if you want to play the other HD-only maps and campaigns like W3RR).
4.Install the mod first using this Asset Installer before installing the campaign itself. Remember to reboot your system, and that you don't open either game or WE during the installation process.

The author has even provided a video regarding the installation guide.

This is not the problem related to Windows 11. It's all about the mod installation. Have you ever followed the posts above yours, as well as my advice above in this post?

I followed the steps 3 times exactly as in the video on two different computers and had the same results. Everything worked only after I manually ran AllowLocalFiles.reg
 
Hi all,
I initially had the same issues as others, where models were black or un-rendered & icons were green.
I managed to resolve the issue by pointing the install at ProgramFilesx86 instead of just ProgramFiles.
Hopefully this helps some others wanting to experience an excellent custom campaign.
 
Oi, pessoal,
olá, pessoal
Acho que sei por que os caracteres não aparecem após a instalação. Parece ser um problema devido à segurança do Windows 11 (creio que desde as duas últimas atualizações), que não permite mais a gravação direta no registro.
Baixei os arquivos manualmente daqui e escrevi a chave de registro AllowLocalFiles manualmente, e agora funciona. Estou enviando o arquivo compactado com a chave de registro para quem tiver interesse (a chave foi removida da postagem 5).
THANKS
 
Hi,

No orc models are displayed, almost all my terrain is black, unit options are displayed with neon green squares...

YES, I'm sure I have the latest version of the game.
YES, I activated the game in Reforged.
YES, I put the terrain in V1.36 Old terrain.
YES, I installed the mod as administrator, without the WC3 client being open, I restarted my PC once the installation was finished, then installed the campaign in the campaign folder once everything was finished.

I installed Costi-San's "Allowlocalfiles" file and that doesn't work either.

There may be something I don't understand here, but it seems to come from this "Allowlocalfiles" file and I don't know where to find a way to fix this problem.

The next few days I will try to install the assets manually.
 
keep getting network errors near the end of downloads, my network is stable 900mb+ up and down, how do i get around getting booted on long downloads

Nevermind, if i click on the download file link on the tools page underneath the Title Name link it downloads in seconds, if i open the LOrecraft page and click on the download image thats when i get slow download then booted, or just a frozen download
 
Splendid!

Just one problem: Where is the Chinese? Where the translation goes? I feel so confused.

I've watched the video over and over again, made sure everything was right twice over, and the assets still don't load right. Blue figures, green portraits, black ground... I want so badly to play this campaign and experience your awesome work, but I just can't get it right. Will someone help me?

Had the same issue, just run AllowLocalFiles.reg located in the Warcraft III folder (after assets are installed) and it should work

Yep, tried that. No avail. I've redownloaded the thing like 5 times at this point, as well as reinstalled WC3, I am pretty close to giving up honestly.

Oh, I forgot, I also installed warcraft 3 in D drive instead of the default C:\Program files (x86) when it worked, maybe you can also try that.
 
Hello everyone. I keep getting a "failed" report whenever I try to download this file and the campaign itself, or a message saying "This app can't run on your PC".

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Maybe download the file in Free Downlaod Manager or any other places instead of Edge and run it in the desktop could solve this problem.
