Warcraft III Campaign

There aren't many Nightelf maps or anything, so here's my idea...

A year after the death of the World Tree, the night elves are under attack by satyrs. Miranda Starlight, the Prime Warden, is being sent to the Orc lands for help. She is sent to find a Voodoo Doctor who lives in the Orc lands.

This campaign will feature new units, heroes, spells, 8-9 maps, skins, models, and an awesome storyline. Anyone who joins will be given the full storyline, on which to base their work. This will possibly feature a whole new unit system, where you can carry the units from one map onto the next! You will start off with a small group of warrior units, about 8, and these will hopefully be carried across levels.

This is not a building campaign! You do not build bases, collect gold or anything like that. It is more of an RPG type campaign, just you control more than one person.

I will be doing skinning, storyline, and planning the terrain.

Please help me think of a name for this campaign!!

NOTE: THIS WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL AFTER THE RELEASE OF WCIII: TFT!!!

Jobs\Positions (Not including me, I'm doing skinning, and I need one other person, etc.)
1 Skinner – Mostly Night elf skins, Some others, Shadow Hunter.
1 Modeller – Again Mostly Night elf models, some others.
1 Spell Editor – New spells, not just ‘change the graphics' like I do.
2 Terrainers – Mainly forests, underground, and desert tilesets.
2 Triggermasters - Hopefully find a way to transport units across maps.
1 Icon maker – Couple of new icons.
1 Cinematic Maker – IN-GAME ONLY, Short Cinematics only, like beginning-of-map Cinematics, or interludes.

Here is the logo, Warden removed for obvious reasons:

Two reasons mostly: It's only been a day and the thread name sucks lol.

Anyway, I am pretty overburdened with my own work, but if all that I need to do is small stuff I can probably help ya out.

Oh, and I already know a way to save units between games, I was even planning that for my Rise of Nekrix project. Basically you create a bigass integer variable and save it to game cache. The number tells your triggers in the next map how many of what the player had. Example:

02040307010809

I'm using a 2-digit system, because that's perfect for this sort of thing. Anyway, the info stored is read by your triggers as follows:

02 - The player had 2 Archers
04 - The player had 4 Huntresses
03 - The player had 3 Ballistae
07 - The player had 7 Dryads
01 - The player had 1 DotT
08 - The player had 8 DotC
09 - The player had 9 Mountain Giants.

By reading up this cache number you can know what the player's army was in the last game, and create that exact amount in the new level. This number would be saved at the end of each map in the exact way a Hero is saved.

Just in case you're unsure how to save this number:
Set Variable PASSCODE = Integer(real-formatted-string(Number of units owned by player1 of type Archer) 1,2) + String 2 + string 3 etc etc.

You then just save this integer to the game cache.

PS: Don't give me any credit for this system, I stole it from Wizerd when he made it, months ago. It really is genious though when you analyse it.

Right... I'm not that great at triggers. There are only about 3 big cinematics (hehe 5 min ones) in the whole thing. Begginning, middle, end. I could really use your help, and i really want to learn that variable thing. Thanx. (Can I change the title by editing my first post?)

*EDIT* can you help me think of a name for it?? Ill send you a PM on the full story

sounds good, I'd like to help with everything, but mostly triggering. btw, Insaniteus, couldn't you just use a number in region/ game cache combo?
