Xetanth87's Campaign Splitter - Turn Custom Campaigns into separate Maps (now with Archon Mode)

[Rafael Silva]

I tried your tool using Jeopardy of the Horde (Turnro), and it looks normal. Even though, the campaing can be played using the reforged graphcs (awesome!). Even the units talks in Portuguese (my version's language), if we think that turnro created the campaing using legacy version (english).
But, i tryed Rise of the Blood Elves (tomoraider) too, and it's funny how 50% of everything is in reforged mode, and 50% is in legacy mode. I don't know if its a bug, or if its supposed so be like that xD. I thought that if something could not load as reforged, the game was supposed to crash or something. But the two versions are existing at the same time.
In Rise of the Blood Elves, Aewynne makes the labial's moviments very close to what she really speaks, even thought that's a custom voice line
I didn't play the full campaing, but I will problably try to test them!

Just to let you know, some assets are only compatible with the legacy versions of Warcraft 3, which makes using Campaign Splitter (or even Quenching Mod) literally meaningless. I heard that older campaigns such as Resurrection of the Scourge refused to load with this mod (Varimathras and custom spells are shown as green icons) because that campaign only works for non-Reforged Warcraft 3.

Excuse me what? The only assets that are only compatible with legacy are the 3D custom campaign screens. This isn't a mod, but an external tool that doesn't interact with the game. Resurrection of the Scourge is protected by its author, so it can't be opened by map editors. How is using Campaign Splitter and Quenching meaningless when loads of people that don't own a CD-key can play custom campaigns using their Reforged installation?

I heard

"Seeing is believing" to quote a fictional character. I advise you to not just write stuff of gossip as fact and either do testing yourself or provide solid evidence for such claims.

I'm testing Jeopardy of the Horde
While I was playing in reforged mode, the game crashs. But while playing in Legacy mode, it works perfectly, soo clean.
I'm going to play and test if it works perfectly till the end
I think that Jeopardy was made for older version, but can still be played on new versions, even if it is Warcraft III Reforged

 

[Xetanth87]

Since Blizzard is reimplementing Custom Campaigns into the next patch of Reforged, the Campaign Splitter has become obsolete. With that said, I want to announce that the Campaign Splitter is getting a new feature that will give it a new purpose that no patch can replace.

Archon Mode

- What is it?
A new option of the Campaign Splitter that will add more player slots to each of the extracted maps.
This will enable any splittable campaign (like Warcraft III Alternate, but also other people's campaigns) to be playable with other people.
There will be a slider with numbers from 0 to 23.
The default option will be 0. Selecting this option will keep the campaign maps single player.
Selecting any other value will add that many players to each map.

- How does it work?
All players will share the units and resources of the main player: coordinate what units each player should control!
All players will have the same experience: everyone will see the same cinematics, will hear the same transmissions, and will be able to interact with the game the same way the main player does!
Heroes with their stats, items and skills, as well as other data will be transferred between maps, without the need for players to copy codes, using a custom saving system.
Any splittable campaign will automatically be playable in co-op: Do you find a custom campaign to be too hard for you? Why not play it with a friend?

- What does the playable experience include so far?
Sharing units and vision
Sharing resources and food
Sharing victory and defeat
Giving units hired by a secondary player to the main player
Enabling secondary players to see cinematics and cameras the same way as the main player

- What's next?
The feature that I'm currently working on is saving and loading heroes and data between chapters.
After that's done, I'm going to test some campaigns to spot issues that appear.
And eventually, the Campaign Splitter tool's page on HiveWorkshop will be updated to include this feature.

I'm getting a javaheap memory error when i try splitting Curse of The Forsaken and Malfurions Quest. I then tried splitting Curse of The Blood Elves and it worked. Curse of The Blood Elves has a much lower file size than Curse of The Forsaken and Malfurions Quest, which makes me think that file size is the problem. Not sure how to fix this or if I even can, and I have seen no mention of it on this forum. This is the specific error:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. I tried looking it up and I just got so confused by it all.

Malfurion's Quest is protected if I recall,. I am not sure for Curse of the Forsaken.

Any protected campaign cannot be split with this tool.

To be fair, most campaigns that are available on Hive Workshop can be splitted. However, I believe campaigns with high profiles such as Malfurion's Quest, Legends of Arkain, and The Chosen One are fully protected. There's nothing to do for those campaigns.
Not to mention, the author might update this tool because the option to play custom campaigns is now available with the latest Reforged patch (1.35).
When this tool was updated, it only adds the option to play the custom campaigns with more than one player just like the legendary Spoon's 2P campaign maps or Kilmaat's updated Archon Mode.

Jeopardy of the Horde (Turnro) worked perfectly for me.
I played the full campaing, and the only problem was that 90% of the time while clicking on the "continue" buttom, it do not work, so I did it manually.

What is the difference between clicking the button and doing it manually?

What do you mean the continue button didn't work? As in it didn't transition you to the next map? That is not possible when dealing with separate maps. That's why I added the message at the end to tell you the name of the next map. You always need to open the next map manually

Who said that the Campaign Splitter is obsolete ? i dont use the new cutom campaign of reforged because we have a amazing option in Campaign Splitter "Upkeep removal"

Yeah, you're right. I didn't think about it like that!

 

[Xetanth87]

I've made a video showcasing the Archon Mode feature of my Campaign Splitter!

 

[Porkiz]

Yes. I wrote about this in the 'Known Issues' section. 256 MB is the maximum filesize a map is allowed in order to be played from the custom games' menu. You can still play it from the editor, which might not be pleasant, but it's the best we got until Blizzard removes/increases the filesize limit (IMO there should be no limit for singleplayer maps). And yes, assets take a large part of a campaign's filesize and since they do get copied to each map, each map will be roughly the size of the campaign.

How does one actually play maps from the editor? When i try loading it, maps with .w3n extension simply do not appear. I also cannot split some campaigns because of an error 'java heap space' which i have no idea how to overcome, but seems to appear for larger campaigns when i try splitting them (e.g. Mathias Chronicles II, Shards of Resistance - Med. Mapguy custom campaigns)

Mapguy custom campaigns)

.w3n files aren't maps.

.w3m - Reign of Chaos/Frozen Throne map
.w3x - Frozen Throne Map
.w3n - Custom Campaign

You can't open .w3n files as maps. You open the extracted maps in the editor the .w3m or .w3x files in the folder the splitter created, with the same name as the campaign.

The 'have heap space' error happens due to the program not being able to use enough RAM to keep the campaign in memory. The only solution is to increase the allowed heap space of the application (like this). In the future, I'll try to optimize the application, so it doesn't use as much memory.

Until the Archon Mode feature is added, there isn't any reason to use the splitter, since Reforged now has the Custom Campaign menu and you can play custom campaigns using that.

 

[Xetanth87]

I've made a video to explain what my Archon Mode is all about, because not a lot of people seemed to understand it
Hope this clears it up and gets people excited about its release that's coming soon!

If you still can't open the Campaign Splitter (even if your Java is already installed), try installing the latest version of Java (must be 64-Bit). It should work.

Try running the file by using this: Right-click -> Open With -> Java Platform SE Binary.
If you still face issues, it could be an issue where .JAR files aren't registered through Shell Extensions.

This campaign is optimized. Optimized campaign (like ones from Turnro or Shar Dundred) cannot be splitted by the splitter.

This typically happens when your computer doesn't have enough memory (RAM) to read the entire campaign. You could try doing this with campaigns that have lower filesizes, or play this campaign normally using the in-game Custom Campaign menu. Until I finish the next update for the Campaign Splitter which introduces the Archon Mode, there is no reason to use this tool. I also hope to make the program less memory hungry in the future.

This is not the case. Legends of Arkain is a protected campaign. And so is Turnro's Resurrection of the Scourge. They can't be split.
Turnro's other campaigns (Rowan the Wise, Jeopardy of the Horde, Malfurion's Quest) are not protected. Here's Malfurion's Quest in Archon Mode:

Hi, I tried play this campaing with my friend - Lordaeron's Legacy
In the first mission everything worked fine, and we transferred safes to the second mission.
But when starting the second mission, when cinimatic ends, the game speed become low.
What can be a problem, and is there any way to fix it.

Hi, I have problem with one more campaign: Legend of War
But Im not sure, were problem is.
In first mission was quest - destroy 3 orc bases, and when one of Great Hall's was destroyed, all units on map become in pause and mission dont continue.
I check this campaign solo in Custom Campaign and there all work, the mission continued after destroying orc Great hall.
I gues Splitter change or broke some triggers or something, but im not sure.

If you talk about game-breaking issues related to triggers, it's mostly due to the save-load thingy, not related to the Splitter.

The time and effort Xetanth87 is putting into this tool must be crazy high. But the feature of making any custom campaign into a coop experience with a friend is fantastic. Really hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Fans of Spoon's 2p series should really get into this, since this tool makes every campaign a joy you can enjoy with your friend.

For anyone who is not sure of how it works, feel free to watch Xetanth87's videos on playing Tomoraider's Curse of the Forsaken + Rise of the Blood Elves coop mode with a friend after using his tool on those two campaigns.

I've been looking for a tool like this that would allow me to make 2P versions of Custom Campaigns. Though when I try to open the individual map files on the Editor I'm getting a "Level Info Data Missing or Invalid". For an example, I tried to split the War of Corruption campaign. This only happens after Map 4. Map 2, 3, and 4 works fine and can be opened. Is the tool not meant to be used for the World Editor?

The splitter changes the map script (which is only used by the game and is rewritten when you resave the map). If you want to split the campaign to edit the maps, be sure to click this to uncheck all the options. This will make the splitter not modify the map script at all.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

I see. Strangely enough that still didn't work for War of Corruption campaign but it does work for other campaigns. It seems to only work for the initial first four chapters then crashes with that message on the World Editor. Works wonders for the other titles though. Is this a public repository somewhere? I'd love to contribute

[RalatheHuntress]

After reading the entire thread and testing out the tool with a friend, shame to see Legend of Arkain doesn't work due to it being protected as I would of hope that amazing campaign would be playable with friends (specially since when I first saw this tool that was the first campaign to pop into my mind). At least other campaigns work, thank you Xetanth for your tool and can't wait to play campaigns like Curse of the Forshaken coop due to it.

Singleplayer splitting is currently broken, only COOP works
But you don't need to split the campaigns to play them in singleplayer in the latest version 1.36
Just play them like normal, from the Custom Campaigns menu

Hi I can't find the CampaignSplitterGUI.jar file

 

[hermaherpderp]

I have only tested campaigns saved in 1.31.1. The extracted maps worked on both 1.31.1 and 1.32. I'd guess it won't work backwards, but I think it should work forward. If I can play a 1.28 campaign in 1.31.1, I think playing the map extracted from one could work as well.

Sorry for the necro but I did just test this with a sample custom campaign I had made for 1.29 and yeah it gave me error

Still though, this is really a terrific tool you made. Keep up the good work!

Sure thing! Sorry for the delay on my response, I tend to go dark for long stretches often. Here's the window with the line numbers and the campaign file I wanted to split. To reiterate, the message appears when the "Adding Next Level message" shows

For the file though I want to reiterate I put it together very quickly so only maps and buttons are the additions I made
