Hi Kilmaat, we finally beat the blood elf campaign. 4 Bugs we came across, but even with them it was a ton of fun! On "gates of the abyss", the second player does not get vision of the green draenei forces (still allied though) Also on that...

Considering the fact that @Kilmaat's previous campaign modification is based on the same working system and also including @tulee's comments, I see no reason for this not to be approved.

I found on my hard drive a download of this same page a year ago, before it was updated. I tested and it works. I make it available to everyone here, Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne campaigns.
I recommend that both versions be officially available for download, for people who HATE reforged

Reign of Chaos Archon Mode 1.27:

Frozen Throne Archon Mode 1.27:
The Frozen Throne - Archon Mode.zip

@Toranks Thanks!! It works on mine too!! So, it was the map version that was causing the problems after all. Thanks a lot!
If you have the 1.27 version of 2P player campaign (Download the Campaign), please upload that as well as some of the maps are done in v1.28, ie. most of Undead campaign and some of the Orc campaign.
Thanks again!

Hello is this playable on reforged? I'll buy reforged with a friend to play this if it is. Thanks!
All maps in theory work on Reforged if they worked on classic, assuming there were no third party programs involved in their creation. Kilmaat's series will most likely work without issue.

Just on a side note, not trying to advertise someone else's project here on Kilmaat's thread or anything, but Thespoon's 2p series has been revamped for Reforged specifically, i.e it includes the newly reworked maps, if you are interested.

You are right, reforged didn't break anything so I didn't need to make any updates as a result, but I wasn't planning on making the reforged campaign as the changes were very minor. I am happy to see TheSpoon coming back to work on the 2P campaign though!

Hi! Just wanted to appreciate your work. The fact that you're still helping people is incredible! Originally I wanted to post about the game not being able to "see" maps, but I readed previous posts and downloaded the old version of this. A big THANK YOU.

Hello a question, I see that the recommended version for your maps are 1.31/1.31
I use the old 1.27 since I dont like the newest patchs, the recommended version is a hard requeriment or it will work with older versions?
The recommended version is not really an important, but for this map it also works on older patches.
Read the post above. There is a download link for 1.27's Archon Mode. Do not bother clicking on "Download" button on the description.

These maps do not work in 1.27. Where can I download the old version of these maps that worked in 1.27?
Exactly my problem as well.
Is there a 1.27 version of the maps?
please chapter 7 night elf region of chaos for 1.27

We clearly need a pre-1.27b version relisted.

These links do not work anymore, @Kilmaat Do you have an archive somewhere with these?

Here is the last version of Archon Campaign before Reforged came out, though it may have bugs that I have since fixed.

This doesn't support 1.27 unfortunatly

Unfortunately, the author has just deleted that files. Your only hope is to download the latest one above (which only supports the latest WC3 version).
There is an alternate link: Download the Campaign.
I'm not sure how you think that's my only hope, That's not even for Archon-Mode, That's the link for the 2P Campaign. 2 Different projects.
Also, The author did not delete his link, its still works, while the other person who had previous files is no longer hosting them, thus why I asked the author if they have an archived copy.

I'm having trouble connecting to my friend and vice versa through LAN. It kicks us both out into LAN menu. Please help me :(

Details worth mentioning:
We both have exactly the same version - 1.31
We can play basic game together using LAN without a problem.
We can play Blizzard-made customs without a problem.
The problem happens for every custom downloaded from Hive Workshop.
We see the lobby when we try to connect, it just kicks us both out when we click it.

We both tried running it as admin and disabling firewall. Perhaps we need to adjust some very specific settings?

Both of you need to have the map. Has that been checked too?

We do, but now that I think about it the zip file makes a sub-directory. I'm not sure how exactly my friend saved it (he could have renamed the sub-folder to just "Archon" for all I know), does that matter? Also is it better to both have it directly in Maps folder or should we leave it in said folder how I unzipped it?

First, and foremost, you and your friend must have at least one Archon map, so the person joining doesn't have to download it after joining.
In addition, the map file name must be same. I think the map you're trying to play is quite diferent than your friend's one.

Remove the readme.html that's included in the zip and it will work. I had the same issue when I first tried the maps and didn't realize that there was an HTML file making WC3 act up, you can store the maps in their own directory just fine. I believe that there should not be any issue as long as the game can find the maps somewhere in the Custom Maps folder

Sorry for necro-ing this, but I feel this is info that should be available for the people new to this pack
