Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged: The Scourge of Lordaeron

[Sapprine]

Invulnerability bug is already fixed, check out changelog. Beside that, can I know which difficulty did you play on?

I don't know what difficulty, also don't know how to select it

 

[coffeefrantic]

I don't think I've ever left a review on Hive Workshop before, however I just had to get my thanks across to the creator of this campaign, it's fantastic.

I've just played through the Human campaign and absolutely loved it. This is exactly what I was expecting back from the original announcement of Reforged - THANK YOU!

Incredible gameplay, amazing characters, cinematics, lore, easter eggs the lot. A few bugs here and there but nothing that took away from the gameplay or experience. Looking forward to the next installment! (About to load up the prologue in the meantime)

 

[fran bel]

the campaign looks good, it has a good look, seeing only the trailer there is something that I did not like at all and that is that they removed the emissives from the eyes of arthas and malganis, and another thing that is not a matter of taste but rather that it is an error in history theme, and it is that arthas hammer gets the skin and hair of arthas forstmoune which is an error since that is caused by frostmourne it is not caused by northrend it is something that both the classic with its CGI cinematics and reforged in the campaign In general, it shows you and making the change with the arthas hammer is nonsense in the story, obviously I haven't played it yet so I don't know if it will be explained (even if it is explained, it's still an error XD) but otherwise it looks very good , after seeing the complete campaign if my opinion changes I will edit the comment

IIRC, errors that related to decompression failed means that your installation file is corrupted. To solve this issue, you are going to re-download the whole campaign. Also, it could be linked to the hard drive problems.

Thank you.
it works now, i've re-downloaded the map, but it still says the files are corrupted

EPIC

 

[MelNefys]

Rly a big thx Luca ! for your time passed on that campaign, it's rly an amazing job very good time passed on it !

Maybe just in the final with only arthas, the camera is, for me, too close from him, or maybe begin normal and get closer and closer as we lose power.

everything is very balanced and quite fun and the playable cinematic are very interesting, thx again !

 

[Thandrall]

Hey, not sure if its just this campaign, since I've never tried watching a cinematic only map on W3R 1.34, but every time the interludes end, it just hangs out on a black screen with no music, and I end up having to alt-F4. Waited up to 5 minutes too see if it was just thinking. Tried both single and online custom maps, and changed settings around a little bit and nope! Only up to the third interlude at Stratholme and trying to get it working since its not even doing the "extra" part of it, which I think is from Jaina having a certain item?

 

[SmokeDatGreen]

Great maps !

 

[Tier10Trash]

just finished my first run through last night, thank you for doing this.

 

[old_gil]

I love this but is anybody having trouble with map 7? It keeps crashing on me randomly of that specific map. I've tried redownloading it and it still does it.

Latest version of Reforged (1.33-1.35), in general, likes breaking some important elements such as cinematics or interludes. Don't question it.
If you still face the issues, please re-download the whole map.

Check that guy's post above with the picture. It might because the map is corrupted or hard drive issue.

 

[Travel Gabel]

DUDE!!!! You killed it again man, you are soooo good at this. I'm convinced there is like, the whole, actual, original Warcraft 3 team behind you! You do fan service so well man, it's tasteful, never feels fan-batey or over the top... that last level with Arthas was just... ahhh so good! I don't know what else to say but thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing experience.

However, I do have to say a couple negatives here (WHICH I'M SURE ISN'T YOUR FAULT). The cut-scene for Stratholme had a camera wonkily placed inside the bridge and it caused a bit of jank. It crashed on me like, 6 times or something ridiculous? And it would not let me overwrite saves, so I had to create a new save every time I wanted to save. Besides that, I had a blast, and I am anxiously awaiting your take on the rest of the campaigns! You are amazing bro!

Mr. InsaneMonster,

This campaign is top tear! My ONLY (small) issue is that things feel very scripted in the sense that I feel somewhat pushed into a certain play style. In Vanilla I am able to build up a monstrous base for no good reason. I am able to play very agressive, or play very defensive. In your maps I feel as if my "agency" is somewhat limited...if that makes sense? Going forward I'd like to see less scripting surrounding base building and less timers within individual levels. The boss battles are hella fun! The enemy units feel very balanced and fun to fight against. That said, I'd also love to see some bigger battles. More computer units, as well as player controlled units. In the upcoming Path of the Damned, it'd be awesome to be able to jump right into (or at least earlier within the campaign, mission 3 or 4?) having access to tier 2 or tier 3. We've all played this game to the point of exhaustion, so learning the tech tree isn't really an issue. I'd LOVE to have abominations, destroyers, etc. while assaulting silvermoon.

Keep up the fantastic work my dude! We all love you for it!

This is just \Chef's kiss\

However, I did notice a small decline in quality after the Culling. I guess Northrend is just a barren tileset without a lot of environment doodads, but even so, it didn't have quite the same level of polish the prior missions had where every nook and cranny was indiscriminately decorated.

I especially loved the overhaul of Mission 8 btw! Even though some parts were a bit too narrow for my troops, the original version of that mission is one of my least favorite, but the way you redesigned the layout made the flow of the mission smooth like butter and I love that it's longer.

Anyway, this is a master piece, but even master pieces have flaws sometimes. The amount of polish on the first 5 missions renders them virtually flawless in my eyes, but makes the flaws in mission 7 and on stand out a lot more.

Keep working on this amazing project, you're doing the Lords work here and good luck with Path of the Damned!

First of all, thank you so much! For what concerns difficulty, for now (and this will change when I will turn this into a custom campaign) you can only select difficulty through starting the map using the editor, as reported in FAQ installation instructions.
For what concerns the terrain, Northrend is more barren. There is a ton of decorations, like ice spikes, vines, rocks, bones and even snow/ice piles all around, it's just that it require less to convey the correct atmosphere. It's a wasteland after all so it makes sense to be less cluttered in some areas. But please, if you noticed certain area less polished, as you say, do tell me more in detail so I can take a look.

Rly a big thx Luca ! for your time passed on that campaign, it's rly an amazing job very good time passed on it !

I like the closeup, but I'll see if I can increase a bit (only a bit) it's distance. Thanks!

This is Reforged 1.34. When this releases as custom campaign this issue will be fixed (at least I hope).

I love this but is anybody having trouble with map 7? It keeps crashing on me randomly of that specific map. I've tried redownloading it and it still does it.

Use fullscreen and low the graphics. I've yet to understand what the issue is but it's certainly because of graphics and because of the poor state of Reforged 1.33/1.34 engine.

The wonky camera is just a bug that sometimes happen. Basically the engine didn't manage to interpolate correctly between two cameras and it will go in a pretty random position in the middle. I can't fix this, but it's very rare. I think it depends on system specs and how many things the engine is doing. I know of this bug and just replay the cutscene will fix it 99.9% of the times. When it happens more frequently I usually add delays to fix it, but I can't add delays everywhere without ruining the cutscenes.

First, about bigger battles, you have to keep in mind that gameplay first. This is no SC2, controlling huge armies is hard. But I have some nice ideas in store using AI to not make the gameplay too bad.
And yes, I do like to give player agency, instead of letting the player decide their own. I think it's more fun this way but you are right some more free macro map should be there. Currently, Human07 and Prologue03 are the most "free" missions. I will try to snap at least 1 free macro map. Anyway, it's not true that you are forced into a strict playstyle. Think of Human04 (the lane to play and how to play it), Human05 (if to abandon the Lumbermill or not or try to push), Human08 (what mercenaries to hire), etc... Just try to find multiple ways to play a certain type of map. To be completely free to do whatever you want without any issue tends to be boring, because it means there is no actual strategy required to win, imho.

 

[DepRa]

Hey! Finally completed the last mission. I really liked the landscape and the maps themselves, they are gorgeous and beautiful, it all immerses you in the atmosphere. Now missions:
7. A large and interesting map, but can a penguin really only be given to a "panda"? Where is his home? I have not found. It was a little tricky, but I noticed that after destroying 2 undead bases, the greens stopped attacking.
8. I really liked the revision of the mission, it's just nice to play.
9. I really, really liked the frostmourne stage, but the camp defense then looks a bit unfinished.
The epilogue is good, but the camera is too close, I didn't see what was in front of the arthas.
In the end, I am very satisfied with your work and look forward to the next companies!

P.S. I used a translator, I hope everything is clear)
P.S.S. I don't know why, but sometimes in mission 9 the worker icon is peon.

 

[Chtecvlad]

The best work I have ever seen!

 

[MaxXx2021]

InsaneMonster, impressive work. Great job. But I think killing Falric and Marvin at the end is inappropriate. As planned, the player does not know that Arthas has lost his mind so much that he kills everyone, and this becomes clear only from the cinematic of the murder of his father. Maybe try to make a cutscene with a double meaning? For example: Arthas walks through the camp, where everyone is already dead and so that the new player can think whether Arthas killed everyone or the undead did it.

Personally for me downloading from HiveWorkshop doesn't work (any file download gets cut at 106 MB size), so i cant download even any single maps, of this project... luckily i found another website, that lets me download maps of this project. In case anyone else needs it, it is there:

maps.w3reforged.com/maps/categories/campaign/Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged%3A The Scourge of Lordaeron

Try another browser or deactivating your ad blockers. Also try legacy download.

 

[BattlePants]

Hi. I am trying to edit maps in order to modify slightly, but an unexpected error occurs when saving maps 1-5. It works for map 6.
Patch 1.35. Any ideas?

 

[Acolite333]

So glad to see that the next section is out, and can't wait to get started playing it!

Out of curiosity do you plan to move forward with the maps as Custom Campaigns now that they have FINALLY been added to WC3R or do you plan to still update all the maps separately and use the save/load system you already have implemented?

 

[kreatifchk]

Why is it so difficult?

 

[MadMax]

Throwing downloaded (unzipped) in C:\Users\maksi\Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns. gives an error (send bug report), Help what I can do wrong? The game version is the latest downloaded Battle.net

That folder is only for the Campaign files (even folders/subfolders not allowed there, only Campaign files and nothing else), so you have to clean it and put map files to the maps Folder

Documents\Warcraft III\Maps (any subfolder as you wish, in the Maps folder other folders are allowed, it is not like the Campaign folder)

 

[Cioco]

I really hope you will be updating this as a real custom campaign moving forward, now that we finally have the feature in-game.
I have not yet played it, but will do as soon as you do that! I want to wait until then, to play it as a real campaign, instead of.. maps.

 

[Strydusk]

Does anyone know how to use the Re-reforged Campaigns with the new Custom Campaigns feature introduced in the new patch 1.35? Currently I can only get it to work using the old Custom Game method (selecting each map to load one at a time in the Custom Game screen).

Thank you! Just finished the Re-reforged Human campaign and it's amazing! Love the boss fights, the final boss fight against the Guardian with Arthas and Muradin was a fun challenge. The enhanced side quests are great and the interactive interludes are really cool . Can't wait for the Undead Re-reforged campaign .

I had some crashes after the interludes end and had a weird bug where Arthas couldn't cast his healing spell anymore but other than that it's pretty stable. Keep up the good work!

Well I did not know you are doing it. Was only saying I hope you will do it. We will be patient. xD
Thanks for the hard work!

I was wondering in making this into a 2 Player Campaign. Is that okay with you Insane Monster?

Join the discord server and we can discuss the details, but overall: yes it's ok for me, so long I don't have to do any additional development (beside helping in minor things of course).

Splendid my friend. I know overall to handle everything alone except the 'Codex' functionality for multiple players. When I'm ready to make it I'll discuss ideas on Discord about Second Hero and his spells (except on missions where we have two heroes already like when Jaina comes, or Muradin). Spoon on his 2 player Campaign didn't make fun custom Hero spells for the second player.

 

[lalokoko]

Many thanks to the author from the Russian community. You've done a very big and hard job

 

[shadowhog]

This is just amazing and I love it all thank you for making it

 

[Frostwolf546]

is this available for 1.32 version of reforged other wise i won't be able play any reforged maps

No sadly it is not, I can't develop for 1.32 using the editor.

 

[Barade]

Will this become a custom campaign now that Reforge supports them? How did you realize saving/loading progress with maps only? Are you using the Preload exploit to generate and read files?

Give me time to turn it, it's a lot of work. Beside, that, game cache is independent from the custom campaign format.

 

[LegaRoSS]

Wanted to ask about transfering it to a newly compaign format but there is also such question and a reply to it.
So, it's in progress and you are working on it as far as I understood. Can't wait, but yeah, it takes time. Everything positive for you and many thanks.

 

[Strydusk]

Is it possible to form a team of developers?
The support developer(s) can focus on transforming the existing Re-Reforged campaign maps into Custom Campaign format while InsaneMonster focuses on making the Undead campaign.

 

[Wind Rose]

I really enjoyed this work of art, I honestly think the story of this campaign is simply perfect and the work you have done is magnificent.

 

[AlexBeketov]

Hello. Very coolly done , but will there be the same re-reforging for other campaigns?

Yes, but it takes time.

 

[PuffyB]

If anyone else is having trouble opening the maps in the world editor, ensure the asset mode is on SD in the "General" tab, and then in the "test map" tab set it to HD

I had a problem where loading the map would crash after using 4gb ram (meaning its 32bit even though its in the x86_64 folder indicating it should be 64bit), but this method worked for me as it uses less ram to load the map
