Turn Custom Campaigns into separate Maps (now with ARCHONMODE)
Description:
It can split campaign files (w3n) into separate map files (w3m/w3x) and add all the campaign data inside the map files. It can be used to make Custom Campaigns playable in CO-OP. You could even create your own Custom Campaigns in the Reforged World Editor, and the players can split them on their own computer. Everything from the campaign is merged correctly into the map files: custom data (units, items, abilities, upgrades, etc.), gameplay variables, custom interface, imports and strings!
Features:
Maps have their titles changed to campaign button titles and have an added index at the start, so they may appear in order in the Custom Games interface.
There is an option to add a difficulty selector to the extracted maps, since you can't select the difficulty in the Custom Games menu. Selecting the "Smart" option is recommended, because it will only add it if the campaign author chose the "Variable Difficulty" setting when making the campaign. The text inside the difficulty selector is localized to the language of the player.
There is an option to replace the map preview with the campaign preview, hiding the minimap.
There is an option to show the name of the next map upon victory. This is very useful for campaigns with branching paths, because map transitions are not possible in Reforged. The text inside the message is localized to the language of the player.
There is an option to add Legacy Assets (Reign of Chaos models that were removed in Reforged).
Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne models and icons in 1.31.1 (Classic)
Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne models and icons in 1.32 (SD Reforged)
Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne models and icons in 1.32 (SD Reforged) with Legacy Assets enabled
Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne models and icons in 1.32 (HD Reforged) with Legacy Assets enabled
There is an option to remove Upkeep from all extracted maps.
ARCHONMODE
Archon Mode is an option in my Campaign Splitter that allows maps to be played in 2+ player CO-OP with full shared unit control. This enables almost any Custom Campaign to be played in CO-OP.
You can support this feature by becoming my Patron on Patreon!
Features:
Every selected unit has player-colored arrows above it, which show which players are selecting it. The arrows are transparent and become more opaque when multiple players select the same unit.
Any player can select an option from dialogs. The game is paused while the dialog is displayed, like in Singleplayer. A message is printed on the screen to show what option was selected.
Notice:
One thing to note is that splitting the campaign will copy all imported assets, making each map file quite large, so you will need to be careful to delete the map files whenever you don't want to play them, and re-split the campaign when you do. If you have a directory named "temp" inside the folder where the extracted maps are placed, it will be deleted along with all its contents.
Requirements:
Requires Java SE 17 (minimum) -https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
Download Java Runtime Environment installer for your Operating System (most likely Windows x64) and install it. Now you can run the jar file.
How to use:
You can use "CampaignSplitterGUI.jar" to open the GUI that lets you select a campaign.

- Lua maps can't get script modifications to allow some features.
- Can't split campaigns with readonly/protected maps.
- Split maps can only be played in Reforged.

It's very nice to be able to play custom campaigns in Reforged. The tool worked for most maps but did give me some issues on a couple, namely:
Thievery Campaign and The Chosen Ones
Also, a nicer folder browser dialog would be very nice to have, the...
I just wanted to say, I love this Archon-Mode idea you came up with for your Splitter. It reminds me of when I played Warcraft III: Classic Archon-mode way back when.
I am curious to see if I can make my own Co-Op Archon-Mode (for me and my kids) with your splitter using the old 1.27 campaign files, but I would need to back them in a Campaign editor first correct?
I tried to use the "demo campaign" as a test model, but unfortunately I doubt it was a good test since it wouldn't work on 1.27 but it does work on a up-to-date reforged 2.0 model.

Because some of the features needed for Archon Mode required functions that only exist in Reforged, the split maps only work in Reforged versions.
This is meant primarily for existing Custom Campaigns. For the official campaigns you have to create a custom campaign that uses the same maps and has the correct button names, or you could look for a different COOP version of them instead of using this tool. Another idea is to look for an edit of the base campaigns (there are multiple ones on Hive), and split one of those.
Hey there i put up warhazard's campaign dark horizon (i arranged maps and made it a campaign instead of a pack of maps because roc didn't have custom campaign feature) and i get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Integer.intValue()" because the return value of "java.util.Map.get(Object)" is null

update: needed to disable preview of the next map now it works.
update 2: maps can't be launched because they can't be seen ingame
maps work pre conversion maybe its the issue of w3m format?
update 3: the maps that do appear are damaged so they can't be hosted legend of cronos allows that only outro works btw, return to darkness doesnt work even with all options off
