Multiplayer campaign released!
Here are the same 28 missions (14 for both races) for TD and 24 BDP, but:
you should play together. 2 allies against computer.
It have been implemented to play as similar as possible to single player campaign, but you should join the server before. As it's multiplayer campaign.
So, step-by-step:
- both players should join backup server, backup.war2.ru. Attention: it will work on backup server only, not on others.
- create game and select campaign maps as usual maps one-by-one. Important: till you win the first map, you won't be able to play second one! Same as on single campaign.
Every map should be possible to win by 1 player, but it should be x2 more difficult.
- Maps should be hosted as UMS. It's important, it will not work with different types.
But you can select any resources you want, it will select proper one itself.
Here's the link to maps:

Download, play and report about process and results!

Thank you my friend. As always for being so nice.
-
By the way, on the video doesn't show missions with active AIs so I'd like to know, which AI scripts are being used on these maps? Are the base game AI scripts being used for such ? If so, there's some way to set specific scripts for the maps ?
Would appreciate the help. Thanks again
-
standart ai.bin file.
if you change this file in MPQ ais will be different.
and ai-selector plugin should work there too i think. where a1.bin a2.bin and etc.
cause he dependent on mission obj descriptions and they all are from standart war2.
-
OK!!! looks great my friend, thanks for that info... Just one little additional thing:
I have just tested up XHuman3 (beyond the dark portal).And I saw that I got killed Turalyon in around 8 minutes but still didn't recieve any defeat window.
So from my experience trying alone the co-op. It seems like hero-death triggers may not work properly. Unless it's a problem from my side, can actually anybody take a look if hero-deaths are actually working ? Thank you a lot.
-
lol wtf this is just edited original maps all with original AI presets.
i think you have modified ai.bin in your War2Patch.MPQ ?
you said they don't seem to be affecting the maps? wtf they should affect.
you are not changed pud maps? like open in map editor maybe?
oh tyrelyon in xhum3 probably bug i dnt know wtf. I just tested it and killed him and got defeat so it works normally.
-
oh and WHERE do you tested it?
You shoud go to our war2 BACKUP server (name in list is "if server is down")
then you should go to War2Mod channel and host this maps and play there.
WTF lol this is online campanign and not working in single. only on server.

Sorry friend. You're right, it will read ai.bin from the patch.mpq I just had a mess with the scripts and also those maps have different scripts being set.
I was testing it on the main server, but then joined the war2mod server and still didn't work the triggers. When I joined the war2mod channel then I got the trigger " you haven't beaten previous missions"... but I guess the turalyon-hero death triggers should work as expected...
I have one more question: Is there some way for regular user to set the briefing text/voices for each map manually ? Since on multiplayer you will just load the map but it seems like iL managed to set briefings into the map somehow. If this is not possible for regular user, will be this available with your triggers tool my friend?
Thanks again
-
its me who created this campanign triggers and lesnik created maps) iL just created this post as admin and helped with testing)
No custom briefings not possible because they all get text and etc from MPQ not from map. But if you change in MPQ then yes. But all players will be needed to download that changed MPQ.
I cannot put this in PUD map cause i cannot change info in MPQ manually from code. And there is no place for big texts in pud too. I created triggers very small to be, like 1-4 bytes each. But text is very big. And there is only 1000 bytes of free mem available in pud map.
Maybe even if texts would been possible somehow then not very big. But voices NO, cause just one .WAV file will be more that 1000 bytes already.
So for now there is only have trigger to call built in standart briefing from any origial war2 campanign mission. So if you change them in MPQ then they will be changed. But only for you, other players will be seeing standart briefing if they not donwload your changed MPQ.

Fixed in the 1-st post, thx
-
Just wanted to thank you all for doing this effort. Tried out the first two maps and it worked great for initial test run. I've been waiting years for something like this. Great job!
Really love the war2combat work done by the community.
Additional Side note appreciate the shaders integration, apm, and built in timer as well - and all the other fixes too! Thank you!
-
Is there anyway to eliminate the need for both players to have beaten the level before playing? Many random people join my games but we have to start over from level 1 because the other player hasn't completed the map yet.
Additional stretch request would be - can we implement resource sharing? I heard some trigger maps have resource sending via text commands. ex) !send gold teal player
Thanks!
-

Still, the "campaign" means that the player must go through the first levels ... well, at least once :slight_smile:
And by the way, he can do it alone, without a second player.
Other methods will nominally be cheating.
(yes, it is possible)

Sharing resources should remain a PUD option, otherwise it will be too easy for 2s
-
I think there are probably people who require an ally to finish the first few levels on the campaign.
-
Did the latest server patch break this mod? It was working a few days ago and now it's not possible to launch a game with the appropriate triggers. All scenarios default to destroy the enemy.
-
No all is ok
i just checked it with some maps
working ok
all is perfectly balanced and with absolutely no exploits ;)

Can you explain what I'm doing wrong then as this is what I get on the backup server. I'm doing nothing different than what I did before the weekend:

There's no option now to set the win condition to 'Triggers' in the 2nd image as there used to be a dropdown to select it above the chatbox. Any map launched now simply defaults to kill all enemies, you don't get auto-allied with co-op partner etc etc.

Definitely Lambchops , he loses to ai with god mode enabled
-
Host from War2Mod channel as always
Dropbox was testing feature and will be returned later when all bugs fixed
-
Ah, the mod channel worked, cheers. Didn't realise that made a difference. It previously worked from the default channel.

Yep, hosting from War2Mod channel works like a charm, thanks for saving us a headache. This should be mentioned on the server updates page or something, took awhile to find this post.
EDIT: By the way, I've been playing the campaign with my brother, and noticed that in Orc12 (the one where Gul'dan betrays the horde), player 2 starts with only 1000 gold, which is not enough to build a Town Hall. I was pretty much useless half of the game after my catapults got destroyed. Please atleast give them 1200 gold, preferably more. Setting starting resources higher didn't fix the issue, because of the triggers.
EDIT2: Also if it's impossible to play the cinematics ingame when they're meant to be played, perhaps some indication on map end or the scorescreen could be placed informing the players to manually watch the cinematic and what the cinematic's name is (in youtube?).

Cinematics do not play mid level in war2. Only between the act chapters and at the end of the campaign.

True, they play inbetween maps. So I was thinking something along the lines of a short text message that appears just before the "victory" popup on the scenario that precedes the cinematic, containing the cinematic's name at least. The cinematics with the same names could then be uploaded on youtube or another streaming platform and the links posted in the OP or something along these lines.
-
well actually for now it is possible to launch cinematics with triggers
its just old campanign and we prob will not be editing it anymore.
u can add them urself if u want.
just use triggers editor prog https://forum.war2.ru/index.php?topic=6242.0
change trigger "victory" to "victory+video"

Wow, that is awesome!
Although the trigger editor is somewhat confusing, I think I can work with it.
Do you have any idea where I can find the IDs of the cinematics? And if it's possible to play cinematics BEFORE the briefing (like the Act I before the first campaign map?)
-
No its only possible at end of mission
Cuz otherwise palette breaked
Ids are from 0 to 13 (or 16 maybe)
Just try them 1 by 1
Cuz i not remember them too))
-
Okay, here is an updated version with cinematics. File attached to the bottom.
I also took the courtesy to fix Orc 12 (tomb of sargeras) P2 starting gold, so they can build a Great Hall. I did it with a trigger instead of editing the map. Haven't tested it, but it should work.
All the right cinematics should play at the right times, with the exception of XHuman01, which plays a cinematic at the beginning in single player, but here it plays it at the end instead (it's impossible to play cinematics at the beginning currently).
Also, if anyone is curious, here are the cinematic IDs in the trigger editor (tested them one by one):
0 - Blizzard logo
1 - Intro
2 - Human end of Act I - Burning orc village
3 - Orc end of Act I - Burning human corpses
4 - Human end of Act II - Catapult to zeppelin
5 - Orc end of Act II - Turtle submarines
6 - Human end of Act III - Orc ships exploding
7 - Orc end of Act III - Opening of tomb of Sargeras
8 - Human end of Act IV - Khadgar destroys the Dark Portal
9 - Orc end of Act IV - Death of king Terenas
10 - Human beginning of Act I BTDP - Khadgar tries to destroy the Dark Portal (and fails lol)
11 - Human end of BTDP - Khadgar finally destroys the dark portal (again) with skull of Gul'dan's lazor beamz
12 - Orc end of BTDP - Ner'zhul parties infront of the Dark Portal (and presumably goes ham with dimensional rifts)
13 - CRASH TO DESKTOP
14 - CRASH TO DESKTOP 2: Electric Boogaloo
15 - CRASH TO DESKTOP 3: Revelations
16 - CRASH TO DESKTOP 4: The return of the crash
Missing (or crashing) cinematics (from The Dark Saga / console version?)

Timestamps from the above video:
6:44-Orcs traveling through dark portal, siege of Nethergarde Keep
7:14-Orcs enter building, hunt down hiding humans
7:40-Orcs capture Khadgar and book of medivh
8:36-Humans travel through dark portal
9:04-Deathwing's cave
9:32-Orc ram siege fail
P.S. I think you might need the "Full" installation of the combat edition, otherwise it might crash? Haven't tested that either.
EDIT: Fixed OrcX01 - Enemy race was not set to orc. (looking through the map, it is, but somehow we ended up playing against humans. So a small trigger that sets their race to orc couldn't hurt right? I wonder if this happens to any of the other maps and how rare of an occurance it is though...)
