Myth: The Fallen Lords Campaign

I'm currently working on a Frozen Throne campaign based on the famous war strategy game Myth: The Fallen Lords . It takes place about twenty years into a war to save a world that was invaded by a horde of undead and other monsters led by enormously powerful sorcerors known as the Fallen Lords. Only one major free city called Madrigal remains to fight them...

Anyway the story is one of the best I've ever heard for a war strategy game. As good as Starcraft's if not better. But the story is less important than the gameplay.

The campaign has all units, but plays differently than most war games. It is purely based on battlefield tactics. There is friendly fire, among other things, that distinguish it from regular warcraft. For example, you can't just send your whole army charging in to fight because your explosive weilders will wipe out your army AND the enemies if left to attack the masses. ALL of your units gain experience and have names, and you can get veterans from previous missions. For example, Edmee the warrior could be a unit in the first mission, and if he leaves, could be a super hero in the fourth mission due to experience. Thats just scratching the surface of the depth the strategy has.

I have already finished the first map in the prologue campaign I intend to release which will be 5 missions long which includes 2 cinematics and 3 playable maps. By the way, this prologue campaign will be called, "The Battle For Madrigal".

HOWEVER! HERE IS WHERE MY PROBLEM COMES FORTH...

1. New Models/Skins
2. Custom Fade Filter Pictures
3. Custom Loading Screen Pictures
4. Custom Campaign Screen Pictures

Although this campaign is very important to me, I cannot do any of the following myself. Basically saying, I HAVE NO SPECIAL PROGRAMS OTHER THAN GENERIC PAINTING PROGRAMS AND WARCRAFT III: FROZEN THRONE.

I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP ME CREATE AND USE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING IN MY CAMPAIGN. ALTHOUGH THE FIRST MAP WAS CREATED, IT COULD BE FAR BETTER WITH SOME OF THE STUFF ABOVE. I'M BEGGING FOR HELP BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS HIGH QUALITY! YOU WILL GET CREDIT AND MY GRATITUDE FOR SERVICE!

So please, if you have anything to ask or maybe you want to help me with this campaign, please say something, I'll be checking this forum constantly. Regardless if I get help or not, I care too much about the campaign to abandon it. I will finish it with or without help and release it. Who knows, maybe when I release the good quality yet lacking in new art, people will flock to my stuff.

I would release my first map now, but I'd prefer to have more maps so people can see the big picture. So please, help me!

Thank you for reading my desperate cries for help!!!!

By the way, if anyone wonders why I don't have special programs. It's probably because I have a Mac. Although I can use skins and models so forth, I can't seem to find downloads for special programs because they are almost all Windows only.

If anyone is actually still looking at this forum. If anyone cares to know. I've now completed the SECOND MISSION to the 5 mission demo campaign.

Sorry Balor but why did you get a mach?

My whole family uses the same computer, so since TECHNICALLY the computer is for my dad's work. We got a mac because that's what he wanted. The games were just a side thing. :( I'll get a windows someday!

By the way, JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A MAC DOESNT MEAN NOBODY CAN HELP ME! WARCRAFT IS HYBRID U KNOW! At the moment I'm looking for people who can help me make some custom pictures for fade filters and loading screens. So if anyone is interested, just post comments here.

THANK U!

im a terrainer & triggerer and i have some basic knowledge of skins need my help email me at [email protected] or get me on msn: [email protected]


;)

Hmm...oddly enough, i AM having trouble triggering at the moment. I'll email you and see what u have to say. Thanks alot i appreciate the help. :D

yeah id like to help see me on a chat program if you have one or keep talking to me through this i would love to help

I tried to email it didn't work, but I'll try again later. I think i'll just pm you some info and see what you have to say. If that doesn't work I'll just go ahead and post the info here. I'm just not sure if you want me to pm you the maps to help me fix or to email them.

Instant message would also be good. What do you have exactly?
(Msn? Aol? )
Is your screen name the same as it is on here? Just tell me that im gonna send a pm.

This is a very cool idea. i have TFT and it's alot of fun. I'm a mac user too so i understand the tech issues. Unfortunately, all i can do is terraining and i've been busy lately. I'll be checking up on this though. VERY AWSOME IDEA!

Thank you, its comforting to know someone has taken notice to this forum :D

At least i know ill get 1 dowload when i release the demo.

The Myth series was one of the best games i've ever bought (it was actually worth it).
I can't do any of the things you wanted, but if you want a basic triggerer, i can do that, plus i know the story so i know how it goes.

Proof: Soulblighter, The Deceiver (Hes the best), Shiver, Balor, The Watcher.

Thats awsome I have been trying to do the same thing except I was going to recreate the entire Campaign on Myth TFL onto Warcraft 3 but I havent had the time. I may not do so since you are attempting the same thing and I dont want to detract from your work. I had a few questoins though, do have the sound set for the game or the ability to open "Mac OS Resource File"? If so I would really love it but unfortunatly I do not have a MAC so it would make things quiet complicated for me. If you do and are willing to help please E-mail me at [email protected]. Becuase of CoT 3 and other maps I have been messing around with I have delayed this project but I would still love it if I got the chance to do the campaign if somebody doesnt beat me to it lol. Thanks again!

i know this probably sounds shocking, but im not using the myth 1 sounds. I figured for style purposes it would only make sense, (since it looks different on warcraft iii) to use newly recorded voiceacting and etc. Don't worry its still good. >:D Although I am using the songs from the myth games that i DO have.

If anyone is willing to help me with a problem I've been having lately. I can't link the maps together and its pretty much delayed this project quite a bit. If anyone thinks they could figure out this problem I can send you to the two maps I want to link together. (but i have to take out the custom music otherwise they too big) So if u think you could fix it, plz tell me and ill email u the maps.

Yeah i was making a campaign too till the maps would load my hero from map one ... srry im no help here...
