The Darkening Wars - v1.42 Optimized
by AngryBovine
Patch notes can be found towards the bottom of this post! Look forward to a lot of new additions in the future.
The highly anticipated patch: 1.30, Risen from the Ashes! The Darkening Wars returns with a brand new squad system to ease controlling large numbers of units, with various bugs fixed and ideas revamped. Play the map to find out all the latest changes or read the change log below!
[[Warning! Please delete any old copies of this map you have! Older versions may carry critical errors and bugs that may cause them to be unplayable! Download the newest to keep up-to-date and have the newest bug fixes.]]
The Darkening Wars is an altered melee map in which your objective is to destroy your opponent through any means possible. You have three factions to choose from: Humans, who use superior technology, ranged weaponry, and vehicles; Mutants, who have genetic alterations that make them incredibly powerful and devastating melee power; and Machines, who are highly resilient and have unstoppable mechanized titans.
As you will see when you play, all three factions are vastly different and use different resource systems. You may need to play around with the game a little to adjust to the differences from common RTS games you have played before.
-Races - 3 working races, not mirrors
-Weather - 6 different kinds that affect combat
-Vast tech trees allowing for freedom within each race
-Important tactical (terrain) positioning
-Custom armor and weapon system, providing counters
-Realistic range: Guns fire from far away!
-Realistic accuracy system! Bullets miss, tank rounds can miss but still cause AOE
-Units can be injured by critical hits
-Squad System
-Balanced combat and gameplay
-Artillery and Explosions!
-All units have abilities that keep them useful throughout the game
-Human units level up independently in the form of Veterancy
-Mutant units help tech up their whole side
-Machine units can be equipped with upgrades
-Extensively informative and useful tooltips!
-New units available in patches as the game is updated
NYI (Not Yet Implemented):
-Air Strikes
-Tactical Aid abilities
-AI (the second coming)
Credits to all the model makers who provided a lot of the models for this map. This map is not protected, though it is optimized, so map content may not be available for viewing. If you wish to see the triggering, you can PM me and I can send you a copy of the un-optimized map.
Please post bugs you find here! This will help improve the quality of this game. If I don't know what's wrong, I can't make the game better or more enjoyable! After all, I can't read your mind.

Next update might come out just a little slower, most ideas have lulled a little and I'm tired from working on it (so soon? Then again, I spent like 30-40 hours on it in the past 4 days). I'm gonna tweak my other maps until the spirit of inspiration drives me forward again. I promise that won't be in 6 months this time! More likely, it'll be within 3 days.
Edit - Damn! There's a bunch more problems with this version I just discovered. Well, crap. Machines seem to be having some technical difficulties (though I probably know why) while Muties are crashing the game.
Edit II - Woot! I saved myself from the abyss-both problems are fixed. I think. I'll probably put it out tomorrow.
Edit III - Created some more problems for myself, and then I fixed them again. A revised XP system as well as a series of bug fixes are coming out. Only Human squad leaders gain exp instead of the whole squad, but when he levels he also upgrades his whole squad. Squad upgrades are now becoming % effects...

THis map is amazingly well put together, I am hooked on it. However, i encountered a fatal error bug while playing as machines against a mutant player. I noticed that in the previous posts u said muties crashed the game- they still do i think...
EDIT 1: I played with humans on single player and trained shadowtroopers and a tank killer- i ordered them to attack each other, spcifically i ordered the tank killer to attack a squad unit of the shadowtrooper- fatal error occured

Ah, sorry to dampen your experience with those pesky fatal errors Racoon! The version I'm working on has eliminated MOST of those errors! I'll release it... now. However, I think there's a few more bugs lurking out I'll have to squash later...
The blue guys are also causing other problems. They're called Plague Carriers by the way. There's still another game crash they caused that I'm fixing... (one time when my tank killed my friend's plague carrier, it fatal error'd. So it was either the tank or the blue guy, I'm gonna blame the blue guy for now.)
EDIT - Whoops! I also released an early version of the Tactical Aid in this patch... be warned, only the LIGHT ARTILLERY and MEDIUM ARTILLERY abilities work, and only the OFFENSIVE SKILL is worth upgrading. Thanks, and have fun blowing those inhuman beings to smithereens!

Actually there is a way to pass the 4 MB limit, with the power of PATCHES, no I don't mean Blizzard patches I mean Warcraft III Map patches as in you download it from a site like rapidfiles or something like that, I don't have the details but it is possible I mean there was a map that is 40 MB (yes I know a lot of imports lol) but when you host it it's like 600 KB, because one of the things the World Editor do, if you noticed is that one of the triggers is Load Prepatch or something like that, bascially it will detect your computer see if you have the patch to play it, if not well your booted lol.
The only draw back, they can't download it directly from Battle.net and you need to create a Installer for Windows/Mac and Linux.

Thanks.
The server split is weird; I've never had it happen to me, and I just hosted it. I'll check the initialization triggers again, although there shouldn't be a problem with that... read the next part.
Hrm. I coulda sworn I had played 30-40 min with my friend w/o causing a fatal error until a blue mutant died. =\ Back to the drawing board, it seems. Can you guys be any more exact about your fatal errors by chance?
Edit - One bug down, over 9000 to go.
Edit II - Added more substance.

well what happened was as soon as the map loaded it said 2 people left the game. then after i picked my race(which took maybe.5 seconds cus i love mutants) bout 2 seconds later 3 more left. then like a second later it said the other guy left and it was just me and purple!

Huh. This means either one of two things: They ragequitted (for no apparent reason other than that this game isn't DotA) or there is in fact a split action, but purple didn't get DC'd cause he didn't pick a race. The weird thing is that the leaving wasn't simultaneous, leading me to believe that it is the former rather than the latter, although I'll look around just in case.
What about the fatal error? How'd that happen?

no idea and i remebered something else about 8 minutes into the game i was mutants and for whatever reason it was sayin i couldnt build buildings cus i was at food limit. well i only had like 3 built and SHOULd have still had food left. Well i looked into corner and instead of seeing like 8/30 or w/e it was it said something like 1402345 all in red so yeah idk what the ferk that was but that sucked!

Hmm can't tell you how most of my fatal errors happened. However, I will try to pay attention to the precursors of the fatal errors the next time I play this.
It seems to occur early game for me though- oh yea, 1 fatal error occurred when I ordered my tank killer to attack a shadowtrooper squad unit.
This happened to me as well, the food limit showed 433285 for me though the game did not crash at that time- it crashed later though.

Okay, that gives me more information to work with. This gives me a clue as to what could be causing it... (It's my squad-ally food system.)
To my knowledge, the only time the food goes berserk like that is when it goes NEGATIVE.
The tank killer and shadowtrooper problem WAS fixed in the 1.31 patch, although the mutant food crash was another issue. I'm usually playing as humans against my friend, and I suppose he doesn't mention these things to me.
So, midgame is when it crashes, not immediately. That was my conclusion when I played too. *sigh* It's almost like the game taunts you into being able to play it for a little, and then slams it down on you.

k i played one full game without crashes
- mutant food was still 43230 tho and he used plague carriers and such.
anyway in the end it was me a machine vs a human player- the vulcan towers of the humans seem extremely strong and all the units i threw at them didnt rlly work- sappers died before they reached target. later he used tanks to wipe me out- how do u rly defeat a human like that- they seem strong compared to the machines.

Wonderful. The food system is fixed now I think too, so we seem to be getting progress. The reason perhaps that you felt he was really strong versus you is that all your troops were TIER 1, cause I haven't finished their Tier 2 and Tier 3 units (I lack the resources). So, hopefully, I can start working on that now that MOST of the fatal errors are out of the way. I'll put up version 1.32.

can machines obtain oil as well rather than just waiting for it- since i don't see any oil obtaining structures to build with them?

Hah, the first Nano structure, the Nano Base. You have to target it on top of an oil patch in the first place, though, or you won't be able to upgrade it into a Hydraulic Extractor.

oh another glitch i found while playing that full game- at one point, the human player's units attacked mine tho he allied me and i allied him- he didnt mannually do it and called it a glitch- also the units became stationary and attacked all in range. he had like 2 tanks and some infantry squads.

Whoa, that's weird/cool. Oh. I know why that's happening. I didn't revise my alliance triggers when I added in the Squad System... thus, the Squad Computer still thinks he's the enemy. I think. Did he know whether it was HIS units or his computer ally's units? (At least, that's what I think the problem is.)
One more thing: Keep the bug reports coming! I can't thank you enough for how many problems you've pointed out for me to correct. It'd take forever for me to find them all myself.
Edit - Looking at my code again, I'm pretty certain that was the problem. It's been fixed.
Edit 2 - New version, 1.33 is out! Now with 42% more realism in the form of molotovs and tank armor system. And keep the comments/bug reports rolling! It's what keeps me going.

1.33: oh ok another bug thing- not sure if it was me or my mutant enemy but i build machine shop and researched T1 technology- game crashed. it might have been the mutant as well tho cause i tested machines in single player and i upgraded T1 and it didnt crash.

Glad to see you are working again on this map. A first look at it was pretty solid I must say I'm impressed at the concept of the machines you made a good choice with them.
I just made a short test I will try to give you better feedback soon.

I got another fatal error with 6 players today- I am not sure what caused it at all- clueless but "gold mine collapsed" messages were being shown- I was machines again and I'm pretty sure that all 3 races were being played.

ive tested it a few times and its very buggy =O
i always get random fatal errors in a glance and at a 6 player ffa ive chosen mutant, someone else too but he told me that he lost that hero menu after he upgraded his main building...instead i had TWO hero menues so im pretty sure i got his one...but i couldnt use it.
damn its not very playable atm =/ sadly

We tried to play a game a few moments ago. It crashed after 10 minutes , all three races were present. I didnt even built a single unit in that time , I was machine and not involved in any conflict.
However one mutant couldnt use his HQ , there were no options and he couldnt build anything. While discussing about that the map crashed.
We couldnt finish a single game by now , I dont understand why this map is approved and guaranteed to be working...

The cause of most of the error has something to do with a weird interactions mutants are having with the squad system... also, perhaps the combat system as well. Some of these were features implemented after the "approved and guaranteed to be working" rating was given. They will be fixed in time, although I appreciate the feedback and apologize for the lack of consistency. I don't seem to get these errors in single player. I'll have to get my friend to test with...
It's a work in progress. Every patch I make (I've been creating 1 every day for the past... week?) brings the map closer to completion and the elimination of patches. I myself would love the eradication of the bugs, although some I have no idea how or when they were created. (Some may have even existed when the review was done.)
Edit - The mutant main hall upgrade and its mutant hero disappearing issue has been fixed. I had a bad polled wait trigger that involved picked units.
Edit II - Patch 1.34 is released! Contains additional adjustments to the game, including additional bug fixes and balancing corrections. I'm polishing up the remaining "wait" functions that seem iffy to destroy the remaining fatal-error bugs.

If there was such a bug, it's not coming up anymore. I've tested time after time, and this has never happened... I'll run a few more games to see what happens. I'm pretty sure I already fixed a few things about the way Dreadstalkers spawns that wasn't working correctly before. Was there any allying/unallying in that game, and were there fatal errors?
Edit - Looked over my coding for unallying. I'm pretty sure it causes a squad rebellion. It's being fixed.

Hi TDW crew... i'm not used to post anything, but for this map i'm gonna made an exception ... cause i think this is one of the best games i ever played in WC, and dreaming for a version as a official game for pc or even xbox jaja, is that goo, at least 4 me xD ... man, i hate the new scuad system, i saw some other scuad system an almost every single one is shit. The one in darkening wars is usefull yeah, but i loose the control over the other units in the same scuad, one of the thing i hate more is, well, picture it with this:
"scuad leader: troops, duck, enemy thank incoming!
other scuad troops: but sir, u r the only one with the "duck" button"
press the button for body-to-ground and only the scuad leader will do the action, if all the scuad earn the bonus: good. but is kinda unreal dont ya think?
go a check the scuad system of this map: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...27803/?prev=of=rating&t=43&r=20&d=list&page=2

other scuad troops: but sir, u r the only one with the "duck" button"
press the button for body-to-ground and only the scuad leader will do the action, if all the scuad earn the bonus: good. but is kinda unreal dont ya think?
go a check the scuad system of this map: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...27803/?prev=of=rating&t=43&r=20&d=list&page=2
Although a official video game of The Darknening Wars would be sweet, Angry Bovine is gonna need to have a one on one talk with a video game company, a lot of these ideas are good even if there are bugs that will make WC3 crash, it is still gonna be hard for him, cause A) He probably doesn't live near a video game company. B) They won't accept just anyone's idea. C) This is the big part, how is he gonna do it?

well got my go on the mutants again and at first it seemed there completely bugfree...i built all the upgrade fountains and i was shocked: all units were fucking slow like hell. especially the titan demon...he moved in a speed like 1-2 corpse feeders try to push him to the target area.
i looked around and some units that hadnt the chitinour upgrade were fast as usual but the others were snail-like >_> would be cool if you fix that =O
also the description of the upgrade aura-icons on the units are wrong(for example: berserken says: MS&AS up but the building description says max hp and AS)
also at vers 1.33(dunno if its still there,havent seen it in the changelog) the turrets at the main building of the humans respawn in such a fast way u couldnt destroy the mainbuilding...
if u buy some of them near each other they are completely indestructable(if the attackers have at least no vers high range attacks)
EDIT: destroyed my own chitinour fountains and its a bit faster now...but still so slow that hes everything else than usefull. u go with a bunch of them to a base and u r dead before u reach it...
give him more MS please =O
oh and...
this map really needs some kind of mass control.
a tower or something which sends ALL of your units at once to a certain spot.
i know the squad system is a bit similiar but with 100 units even this system doesnt bring that much...
EDIT 2: a ...veeery strange bug occured...
some of my carrions died and i got like 300k food or something =O
here is the replay

Thanks for posting! I feel honored. The "team" is just me, for now anyhow (and probably forever; this map will be remade for Starcraft II). About the squad system: Yes, I know there are problems. For some reason, Sprint works fine yet going Prone does not. I know the squad units HAVE the ability and they have the research for it as long as you do, I just have no idea what makes them... stupid, I guess? I'll try to make your experience on Warcraft III as lively as possible. It can only get better on Starcraft II's engine.
Tau's right. While I feel I have some very strong and good ideas for this map, I'm not quite sure I'm ready to go out and say that this is my proudest creation. The jump from a mod to an official game is a big once. Maybe in the future, you can look for games with me in the credits!
Whoa, that's weird. I'll look into this...
However, you ARE right. The squad system was designed with being able to control 60-80 units relatively easily. I guess it's still not completely flawless though. Mutants may get a unit which will be an "overlord squad leader" type of thing, which can command all mutants to go attack a point or something.
For the mutators, I forgot to fix the descriptions. I'll get on that. I'll also make sure that the damned mutants are moving at the right speed... it IS supposed to be their strength, after all.
As for the Armageddon Fortress, I'll tone it down. It was balanced against human players, though I guess it's a bit strong against mutants.
Thanks for taking the time to post! (I hope it didn't crash this time!)
Edit - Tell me if there are any fatal errors when and if you get them. In the meantime... I'm working on patch 1.36. Armageddon Fortress's Autocannons have been weakened by approximately ~25% dps and take 50% longer to respawn. I also THINK I fixed the mutator's bug.

i played single player to test the map out ( i was humans) and it fatel errored when i killed the computers builder.....also only 1 unit gets to use skills in squad..and that beats the purpose of clock for the "path finder" squad.
btw AI would be awesome xD

A: Please don't use AI. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned before. It causes errors in the game.
B: For the squad issue... purpose of clock? I know that the squad system is not completely refined to handle some of the ability issues, and I am working to iron all of those out by the next patch. Do you mean cooldown?

no i meant only 1 guy goes into invis and I don't think this game is fully developed....mechines have something that says "under construction" in their main base and it's supposed to build Tier 3 buildings. Mutants have nothing to see invis so when human shadow troopers shoot them and they shoot back ur shots will never hit them because they fade (go back into invis) too fast.
i played this with 3 other ppl..

The basic mutant units can see invis, they just can't see invisible that far. I'll tweak some stuff. As for the stuff that's not yet developed: It's just the 3rd race that's still under the works. I built this game one race at a time; first it was just humans, then it was humans AND mutants (and the mutants had to be built from the ground up). After muties were mostly finished, I added the machines. I'll do what I can for you, but you'll have to give me time. As long as you keep up the feedback though, you can expect to see responses and progress from me.
I take it it's not crashing at least?
Thanks buddy!
