Help and Resources
Please refer to the answers below before posting questions.
1. Download the campaign ZIP file onto your computer. (DOWNLOAD button near the top of the page)
2. Unzip the file and extract its contents into "Maps/Download" in your Warcraft 3 folder.
Unzipping files can vary depending on your operating system (Windows, Mac, etc), but it should involve something like this:
1. Right click on .zip file that you want to unzip and click on "Extract All".
2. In the "Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders" dialog, enter a folder path where you want files to be extracted.Once done, click on "Extract" button to start the extraction.
Once the map files have been extracted into your Warcraft 3 folder, you will be able to play the Scourge Campaign as a Custom Game for each individual map. (Battle-net play is currently being investigated)
How does it work?
Each time you complete a mission, a Hero save code is automatically saved in a text file on both player's computers. At the beginning of the next map, this code can be used to recover your Heroes by doing the following (only one player needs to do this):
a. Minimize the current game (Alt+Tab).
b. Open "CustomMapData\{CHAPTER NAME}.txt" in your Warcraft III folder.
c. Copy (Ctrl+C) the "load xxxx-xx..." text in the text file. Do not close the file, as doing so will make the code not copy over prior to Warcraft 3 versions 1.28.
d. Go back into Warcraft 3 and paste (Ctrl+V) the code into chat and press ENTER.
Which player will have the save file?
The text file containing the Hero save code will save on both player's computers unless one player dropped out during the mission.
Where is my Warcraft 3 folder?
This will depend on your version of Warcraft 3:
Prior to 1.28 -> Either on your C drive or the location in which you installed Warcraft 3. An example path could be "C/Program Files/Warcraft 3"
1.28 and beyond -> Located in your Documents folder
Copying the text code into Warcraft 3 chat doesn't work. What should I do?
If the code does not appear in chat after pressing Ctrl+V, this is because you closed the text file before pasting the code into Warcraft 3.
If the code you copied into Warcraft 3 results in an error message, this could be either the code was modified or you are attempting to load the save code for the wrong map.
If the code you copied and entered into chat does not do anything, this is most likely a bug and should be reported to either Turnro or Ljarvisone.
- Maps have been worked on while keeping true to their original versions
- Improved save/load system. Players no longer have to remember and type long tedious codes! Instead, the game will automatically store codes in a text file that can be copied and pasted straight into chat
- Players get one main hero in each mission, with bases automatically shared between them. Earlier 2-player campaigns had players control separate bases, requiring huge balance changes and altering the original feel of the maps
- Maps can be played solo, especially if one player drops out of the game. This gives the other player the choice of either leaving or continue on to win the mission for the team
- New heroes fit the story of the campaign and do not feel poorly added
you just put the maps into the warcraft 3 maps folder and then you can play it on lanHello,
I'd like to play this custom campaign but i don't know how to play a custom campaign map 2 players not in lan.
I'd like to play with a friend but i don't know how to, please can someone explain me how it work ?
Put it in anywhere in maps folder, then create the chapters using one of the programs, ENT gaming, gameranger or Tunngle. If you don't have any friends who still play the game, then you will have to wait after you create a chapter because it normally takes a lot of time until somebody joins you, but I would prefer creating the chapters in Bnet using ENT gaming site because thats where most players are nowadays.
ah...i see,,,i needed to take the specific map from the folder and put it as a normal map...thanks,i didn.t think about that
It's not a normal campaign. You have to put this in Maps because within the archive are separate maps connected by a code you'll have to load at the start of each map via the game's chat system.
I believe custom hotkeys only work for melee & campaign, not custom maps.
there are many custom maps similar to melee maps can use custom keys, like same hero to the melee. the author Turnro should have set something overwrite the hotkeys to QWER..
