Campaign Finished! BUT...

...yeah although my campaign is 99% completed I'm unlucky that TFT is soon out with all those changes so what now? My camp needs beta testing still so it could be released earliest on this Friday.

...damn...

...shite...

...:bangH: ...

...okay enough crying. Why I posted this thread? To ask you people what will need to be re-made in my campaign to make it work in TFT. Or I don't have to remake nothing at all? The last question was asked with hope that TFT can read the old .slk and .txt files. My campaign will be using a modified War3Patch.mpq (installed via the "Campaign Installer").

Kinda feel shitty about my situation but... oh well TFT is coming out soon! Yay! :D

Talk about mingled feelings... ;)

If I were you I'd wait with the release until a short while after TFT release. Nearly nobody will stay in classic, and with the frozen throne editor you can make custom campaigns a lot easier and spice up some things. If you release it friday, it will be good for 3 days after which everybody will be playing TFT campaigns.

Just my advice, delay the release until the frozen throne is out.

ugh...

I stop making my campaign 1 week ago cause TFT is release soon... I only need to finish the last chapter, but TFT will broke all my campaign -_-...
I remake the whole human tech-tree but now... ugh, TFT will broke everything(im sure it will!!!)

I think .slk files will be ****ed up when youll try to play your campaign with TFT and custom spell may not work... Because blizzard add some stuff in abilityblablasumthing.slk to have new ability in the game.... same thing with abilityblablasumthing.txt but im not sure...

Another problem will affect custom maps/campaign with a new tech-tree cause of all the new units/buildings/upgrades...
The town hall will have the backpack upgarde and the Workshop will have war engine and flak cannon... thing like this... and we will be able to build arcane vault... I wish this wont happen...

Its also possible that you found new bug in your campaign cause of some new features...
In TFT, hero no longer gain lvl from creep after lvl5, i think this will cause trouble to some people if they already put 247627 creeps in every chapter of a RPG-campaign...

Priest and Sorc also have new skin, many unit have new model in retail(i see some screenshot of a new steam tank that look like a tractor and hes damn cool, a new ballista...), so if you make a wood elf campaign, you will have blood elf priest with a black cloak, and i never see a wood elf with black clothes...

I think campaign that has been made for classic wont work correctly for TFT.... :(

Thanks for the reply+advice.

I thought about it earlier and I was sure there was no other way out for me. The campaign alone has 15 missions(!) and 11 short-cinematic maps so nobody would complete that in 3 days ;) (also the 15 maps aren't so short either).

So... nothing more to say than Release date delayed due to TFT :bgrun:

EDIT: I've just read tinerdz's answer and... it scares me...
Damnit... Oh well. We'll see how this whole TFT vs. campaigns made on RoC thing works out in a few days. :////

This is a link to a thread about some new features in the TFT World Editor...
As you can see, the spell editor, i think your .slk wont work and youll need to use the spell editor...
You can also import model-skin using the importer thing...

and! AI! yeah! that make the little grunt happy :ggani:

And ton of other thing...
So i think i'll have to rework my whole campaign... -_-...
I'll keep all my map(for terrain) but i'll rework evrything else...

NOTE: muhamhua i know how to scare people ;)

So, ill change my signature to:

~~~TALES OF KALTAZAR~~~
A singleplayer camapign in a new world, nothing related to warcraft or any other game!
Tok 1: Two Powerful Kingdom 15%(delayed because of War3x)
Tok 2: A New Enemy Arise... 0%

--------
15% instead of 90%... :bgrun:

Hey I hope that at least the triggers will work alright ;)
I've been doing some AI stuff lately and now I see that I didn't have to cuz it has an AI Editor!

BTW it's a good idea to make a campaign in a new world cuz you're not dependant on the Warcraft World Story.

And I am not changing my percent from 99 until I see how many things will get fu(ked up after installing TFT :bgrun:

Trigger should be k...(blizzard only add some trigger... or maybe some new feature)
.slk, model, skin, any other thing you import... may not work...

I really hate that! I work more than 2 week to edit the .slk and .txt for spell! and now there a spell editor... its nice to have a spell editor, but not to make .slk and .txt for nothing one week before they release TFT...

I was going to make a campaign in the world of warcraft, except that undead rules half of the world, night elf are no longer immortal, illidan is a demon running to a icy throne, arthas also run to ice crown for a throne... Jaina live on Hawai... same thing for all human... orc live in the desert somewhere in the barrem... so... it's hard to make sumthing interresting in that world... only blizzard can found idea for that :)
and when we create a new world, there no rules we need to respect, i dun need to make orc come for a Dark Portal and make Night Elves mortal just because a tree explode...

So... ... let's just wish our campaign wont explode in TFT...

and... if sumthing is ****ed up in my campaign, it will damn long to fix it for all the 15 chapters... 0_o
