Hi Hiveworkshop, long time no see
* This is post about reviving a campaign I made in patch 1.26, in current times. I want to take your opinion about the feasibility and what options I have.
* Please take your time to read and help me in my dilemma. English is not my native language and I take longer sentences to explain, so kindly bear with me.
I used to be an active member here almost a decade ago with a different username. Then lost interest in wc3 map making and quit this hobby with the intention of moving on to other stuff. Back then I had an active project here, which had managed to generate a fair amount interest in the community and hence my enthusiam to keep coming back and continue working on it. So when I had decided to quit I had saved the project files externally just because I did not have the heart to simply press delete on all the hard work. So during the extended lockdown out of sheer boredom and nostalgia I rediscovered my love for wc3 map making and decided to work on the project and finish what I had left incomplete. But as expected due to not being active I had no knowledge of the recent developments in the wc3 modding scene, the latest patch changes, reforged and all.
So here is the problem, back then I had designed my project around patch 1.26 and used Jass with JNGP for the scripting. It was a single player rpg campaign with several maps and lots of custom resources. Now I am in a dilemma whether I should continue with the project or just quit as upgrading the patch will certainly break most of the scripting and I will have to manually rewrite thousands of lines of triggers and scripted events. But good thing is I dont have to worry about multiplayer or online. Secondly I wonder if there are people interested in even playing a single player wc3 campaign anymore because I see signs of decline in interest in wc3 in general.
So what should be my course of action, is upgrading to a higher patch and working on the project with new features worth it? Or should I continue with the current patch? Are there people who would even play a single player wc3 campaign in 2021? Or just quit the idea, because I am basically trying to resurrect a dinosaur now (takling about my project).
Help me make a decision please and thanks if you read all this.
P.S: much love and respect here for all the people who contribute to the site by adding resources and posting and I love all the new changes I see here.
