Creating campaign which is like Rexxars one...

Hello guys!
I'm creating a campaign which design is of the same type like blizzards orc bonus one, you know the one with Rexxar and Durotar.
So many people seems to love that sort of RPGs and campaigns.

This will NOT become "just another project which gets dropped because it's so boring to mapmake"
This project will be alive forever if enough people join and i get enough feedback.

I'm gonna tell you all what the story will be like.

------------------------------
It takes place in Draenor - (yes, at the time when the orcs still had Draenor as homeland, long ago) - and you are just another greenskin orc in the proud original warrior cities of the hellish country of Draenor. The Horde is as strong as ever, and the Humans and Orcs is battling in the same endless war.

The campaign starts with a training chapter, that will also be the demo of the campaign. Oh and rebember, you are not a hero. Just a simple Grunt unit.

Training takes place in a small dungeon beneath the city of Lokath, capital city of the Hellfire Peninsula region.
The objectives is some different things, like hunting rats, solving riddles, dodging thngs and that sort of minigame stuff. The trainer treats you, failure is equal to execution at the iron maidens.
When finished, you are the only one who did really well and he promotes you to a Grunt War Captain of Warsong Clan.
blah blah blah...

Second chapter, you present yourself to Grom Hellscream and he teach you some abilities, the Battle Roar, Howl of Terror and Berserk (or Frenzy). You're still non-hero. Chapter two will be a battle against the attacking humans. After that, if you havent died, you have so much experience and survival skill... you become a hero.

Allright, when you advanced a bit in the campaign, you'll come to these Dark Portals. They just stand there as they always did, this will not be about when Nerzhul and the Horde fails through the portal blahblahblah.
This will be about a time portal (im not kidding)
In the blood elf campaign when Illidan closes these portals you know? Well, when he close them, some bugs appear or whatever you call it, i dont know how to describe it.. a technical whirrup, a flaw or something.. sure you understand it anyway?
Well, the flaw as we'll call it, creates an intense magnetical field, and the atmosphere at that place gets cracked, blah blah blah, making a portal through time appear (looks like shimmering portal).

You and the bunch of orcs get curious and move through it. The portal is supposed to go to the time when the Dark Portal Gates is closed by illidan. But the fact it is closed makes it impossible to have the other end there. Because of it, the orcs are throwin into a random, unknown time. Guess where they get.. hehe..
They enter the 21th century, the modern times.. Now-age. Nuclear age or whatever its called.
They see that there is humans in this future. Only humanity. No orcs. Some legends speak of orcs and living dead, but it is just a myth to them.
So, there is not even dwarves, not even elves, nothing but just humans.
These orcs are unwillingly thrown back in time, returning to Draenor. Driven mad by the glimpse of future, the Horde attempt to force the fate and change the future. . .

well how does that sound? Personally i think its amazing..

Oh and btw, the first chapters will have many optional quests and stuff like Rexxars campaign. So its gonna get fun :yup:

Well then, I'll be story/idea designer, chieftain and item maker.
If you wanna join you must be working on your expertise domain. For example if you are good at terraining your role will be terrainer..
some people can be artworker, skinners, some terrainers, some triggermakers, some voice etc etc

Also you can give your own ideas and tip about features too.. and while you mapmake you can add in own small things too if you would like to. Rebember, cinematicmakers, you must tell what the replics is so maybe one of us..one of the voice guys (if we're gonna have any) can record that and upload sound file which you can add in the transmissions.

I'll write a feature list soon..

aah.. someone here? i promise it will be a real quality thing :) maybe the best custom campaign ever. :ohh: and the best custom RPG ;)

its a bit RPG style, the same way Rexxars campaign is.. many quests and items to acquire
I'm an expert at making custom items.. I know how to make cool special effects and everything, how to get custom icons, how to get different text colors in tooltips, how to make all-new orbs, how to attach a new weapon... etc :D

I looooove the ide of the story, exept for 1 thing, how come this is not mentioned in the campaigns?

Frostigt - "mentioned in the campaigns"? :abomHUH?:
this is the warcraft 3 campaigns.. what do you mean with "how come this is not mentioned in the campaigns"?? emote_confused


Demon_Dream - I need ANY types of people!
One/some for terraining, some for trigger working, some for skinning/modeling (if we will have that), some for ability making, some for object making, some for cinematic creating etc.

Just tell what your best expertise domain is and if yo wanna join.

if your best is at triggering, your role could be trigger maker.


First off we need to discuss how the first chapter will look like, and then tell that to terrainer and he'll make it. for example I say "make an underground with a shore river from the southwest moving smooth-zigzag to the east. The rest should be dirty and rocky randomheight fields with stalagmites and things. Lastly, make a dungeon exit at the northwest with manmade walls and a Dungeon Gate. On the corner, create a cliff cave. Nearby, have some tables where the trainer should stand"
And then the terrainer does that, and when he/she is done he/she will send it to me and I will look if there is some smaller fixes I gotta do. When done, I send the map to object maker and do the same thing, then I send to cinematic/quest creator.
and then maybe trigger maker. ETC.
And at last the map will be done.. you see..
Of course it will not be that mindless, we're gonna have a big debate here :ggani:


So. Submit and I'll add you to the list.
:ohh: and i forgot..
Some people could help me with custom loading screen picture, minimap picture and that stuff which a Mac hardly can do. You see I use a mac.


--------------
Lastly, this map will be a TC map.. The Corrass Team/Clan. So u better join it. It's members is just expert mappers only, Mac/inux/PC it doesnt matter. As long you are a serious expert mapper.
This team of mappers.. it is not a battle.net clan but just another unique team
This team is not very big, but the leader, Alloran-Corrass, loves Mac, so if your a Mac user please come into the light!
TC Team have made some maps.. f.ex Predator. Currently working on a CTF and this campaign.

  • Lots and again lots of quests, particularly optionals which has rewards of gold, special items or secrets and other stuff.
  • Multiple heroes. One orc, one troll and one another.. maybe ogre. It will be different races in order to make this campaign vary more. For example, the orcs won't get any "odd feeling" or get scared, they are too stupidly brave and keep thinking about honour. But Trolls can get scared and speak different than Orcs, so you can have some dodge-trap chapter only using your troll hero. That will be fun and make the campaign not feel the same all the time.
  • Ability to have more than six items, but not all at once. You will have some backpack stashes of items using triggers, you can pack down and pick up items in the backpack no matter where you are.
  • "Maps" - In reward for some quests, you may receive a "Map" which reveals a huge area of the minimap. Of course, this is not in all chapters, just some of them.
  • Custom skills ONLY, no original, normal ones.. ONLY CUSTOM! And they're not low quality.
  • Some custom skins, and maybe models
  • A wide world to know, you will travel in the Hellfire Peninsula, and other famous regions of Draenor
  • Lots of special effects, particularly in the cinematics and at the items
  • Your heroes will be able to learn more than five skills
  • You will advance further and further in rank, but you won't become a Warchief in the end, if that's what you think.
  • Your heroes will be affected by how you manage them
  • And much more! Anyone may submit ideas, member or not.


Members List [list=1][*]Alloran-Corrass[*]Me[*]Demon_Dream[/list=1]




WHOA thats quite impressive, Demon_Dream! List fixed. Ah and would you like to join the TC Team? if not, dont worry about the credits of course you'll be in credits too :gsmile:
