Custom Campaign Initiative

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of StarCraft II. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

The Custom Campaign Initiative (CCI) is a centralization of authors and projects that are intended to mimic the Blizzard single-player campaign format.

List of Custom Campaigns (With descriptions)

List of Custom Campaigns (Based on project status)

Check other pages of the CCI for tutorials and other stuff.

What level of quality is required for listed projects?
1) Mission can be played by using Starcraft II editor. Because this is Starcraft II editor community.
2) Map and Mod files are available for download. Because we want to learn from other campaign projects.
3) A series of at least two missions. Because one mission is not campaign.
4) Missions are playable as single player. Because campaign scene is designed for single player.
5) These two missions do not need to be up to date, polished and perfect, but playable with no show stoppers. Because we dont want to waste our time on very bad quality stuff.

CCI authors will check these requirements before listing projects but CCI authors do not frequently check projects after listing.

How does the Custom Campaign Initiative work?

The CCI is a bunch of people who work on their own projects but want to list their work under one project.

By listing all projects together each invidual project gains more downloads and whole Starcraft II campaign scene gets more attention.

The CCI works like Wikipedia. All authors are allowed to edit pages. This project is linking page so files are not allowed directly on CCI.

How do I join the Custom Campaign Initiative?

If you are interested in becoming a part of the CCI send PM to Terhonator or other authors of this project.

@Terhonator: Go

Hey! Played through Hand of Humanity Mission 1 and have compiled a little feedback for you:

You've got a lot of unused space in the middle of the map. Consider adding some smaller bases here, groups of enemies, resource caches, something.
It's difficult at first to get a sense for where the enemy command centers are, perhaps placing pings and also possibly revealing those areas temporarily at the start may be helpful.
The siege tanks were a huge annoyance, I had to land a barracks near them to get them to un-siege, then run some reapers up from the cliff-side quickly to destroy them. With no air units, placing some siege tanks on high ground, with bunkers on the low ground is a bit cruel. Try moving the siege tanks down, or re-positioning them, or at least give the player a hint as to how to tackle them. (Using flying structures to bait siege tanks is not going to be obvious for most players.)
The bonus objective, capture a tech reactor didn't seem to complete when I first placed a Barracks on it, and then suddenly a few minutes later when I checked, it wasn't there anymore. How are you checking for completion on that objective? Not sure if that was a bug or not.
Environment looks good for the most part, the lighting and texturing really help to evoke the sense of a mined out wasteland. I'd consider adding a bit more detail at the enemy camps though, with doodads perhaps. I'd also be careful about too much height variation in places where the player will be building, such as their first base. I had some weirdness occur when I placed a structure because of the hill.
Exposition. This is a single player campaign, so I went into it expecting some exposition but there didn't seem to be any aside from the loading screen. Consider adding a little bit of dialog to the beginning and end of the mission, and perhaps a few sprinkles throughout to help set the scene.
Are you gaining anything by not setting the campaign in the StarCraft universe? I don't think a campaign must be set in the SC universe, but if it's going to be set outside of that universe, there should absolutely be a compelling reason. Assuming you don't develop your exposition exponentially in the next 3 levels ( I have yet to play them.) and have a clear reason that this must be on earth in the 2100s, consider setting it on a mining world in Terran space, or even Earth in the 2400/2500s in the SC2 universe. You'll have more options working in the SC2 editor, and have to create less suspension of disbelief. This is really more of a "think about it" suggestion, obviously it can work either way.

Overall the mission difficulty wasn't too easy, or too hard, aside from the siege tanks, where the difficulty curve jumped suddenly. I look forward to playing the rest when I find time!

Well, my two cents on that issue is that it's largely Blizzard's fault. The Battle.net map system caters to multiplayer mapping, but there isn't even a system to do single player maps properly, and they're not even gonna let us touch the story mode tools until they're done with the Protoss campaign (or so I read) which is a shame... because as awesome as Blizzard's campaigns may be... we're still gonna have flying cars by the time they finally get done with it.

No it was not sarcasm :) . I am really happy that someone got the nerve to bring out single - player campaigns more into the spotlight. Single - Player campaigns have been in the dark for some time and I am really happy that it is now going to be more seen.

Things are still very much in the initial concept phase lolzguy, so please bear with me while I get things started. I'm wiling to let anyone in overall, they just have to actually publish a map that's not... lame (lame as in a flat terrain with resources and two melee bases with no triggers) The initial group of people I pulled were simply the names that popped into my head immediately.

As for the description... we're 'mimicing' Blizzard's style. but we're not a team of mission designers with a swarm of backup QA people, so we definitely don't need to be all elitist about it...

That was sarcasm, right? =) That word "Blizzard" in description is a bit scary =)

Seriously, lolzguy do want to join our project? Tyneara is main author so I think only he can add more people to project. Our goal is just to gather singleplayer campaigns on one project page.
