Discord
What is Discord?
Discord is a custom fan made campaign. When it's done it will have 30 missions and cover 3 interwoven stories. For now I only have the first few missions completed and ready for testing. You can download them here by going to the files tab and selecting the files for download. The files need to be placed in your Starcraft II directory to work properly. I would suggest that you start with the launcher map when you play.
Who am I?
I am Baelethal, a long time lurker on sc2mapster. I have visited this site many times since wings of liberty came out, but only now I have decided to finally participate in the community. This is my first project for Starcraft II and my first activity on sc2mapster. I hope to remain active for some time to come and to create many projects to add to sc2mapster. Please enjoy what Discord and I have to offer.

Even after all this time with the campaign being in stasis I still look forward to the future of this project should it start up again. Should it start back I'll for certain start testing again for this campaign, if my computer was better I'd even record and upload it to YouTube, unfortunately my computer isn't good enough to do both so my videos aren't that good in quality. :(.
Hope everything is going well baelethal, and hope for a good future.
Sorry about not being around for a very long time...
College has been kicking my butt for the last couple years. I do plan on continuing this, but I'll need to wait until I have the time to devote to it. I should be graduating in the next year so after that I might have more free time.
It's not red.... but is it abandoned? Like come on, at this point, the Terran Campaign should be well done, maybe a bit burnt around the edges, but cooked enough to have a nice crispy crunch, ESPECIALLY around the edges.
Thus leading me to conclude it has been abandoned, but if it's not, @Baelethal you need to wake up from this nap of yours friend, I need more EU Umojan Lore to work with!
(EU = Extended Universe, because why not use a "Star Wars" term... freaking stereotype calling it a "Star Wars" term, hence the quotation marks)
@Baelethal: Go
Everything has been fairly quiet on here :(. glad it's not in red meaning the campaign is still in the works thought it hasn't had an update for a while. I haven't been able to fully test the last map added or any of the changes on the other maps as of yet because of been slightly busy so I do apologize for that. As soon as I make sure when I can get the latest version I will do another complete play through to test out all the changes done so far and see if everything is working perfectly.
last time I played was when the latest map was broken and no boss battle.
@olcharlieboi: Go
That sucks. Being without power can be pretty miserable. I hope you get power restored soon.
@SamsaraNoMas: Go
Hope you enjoy the new mission.
@SCStalker: Go
Thanks. I'll try and keep it up. :)
@Hockleberry: Go
Yup. :D
Back at it!!! Very excited!
Amazing my friend, will download and test changes when I am able, without power atm.
@SamsaraNoMas: Go
IKR!
By far, one of my favs. I love the terrain, difficulty, and well, everything :D, keep up the good work!
Yeees a new mission!
Thank you too Edhriano!
A small letter of thanks.
@SamsaraNoMas: Go
Nope not abandoned. I'm hoping to eventually finish Discord entirely. It will probably take years to finish it unfortunately. But hey that means I'll be here for years. Also thanks for the praise, it really gives me motivation to continue.
@Tillman19: Go
Well I'm a 22 year old map maker who wants to give SC2 players a great experience. I'm glad you like Discord.
@Hockleberry: Go
Finals right now is beyond scary. I'm undergrad but It's still really intense. One of the classes I'm in right now is known as the hardest class in the entire major by a large margin. Hopefully that goes well for me.
Edit: Custom Music should work now with the new update. I just tested it.
School!! It is almost over! Good luck with finals and such!! I'm in grad school and it is killer.
I'm a 49 year old SC1&2 player and I love custom campaigns. You have great talent and I encourage you onward!
Nice to hear from u baelethal. I thought this was abandoned since there was no news. Im glad u are still planning things. This campaign is really a hidden gem. Once jayborino plays it i think it will get the attention it deserves. U are very talented mapmaker.
@Baelethal: Go
I can understand college always gets in the way of alot of things it stopped me from doing alot of wanted things as well bu lt I'm free from it haha, well keep up the good work then.
@olcharlieboi: Go
Progress has been slow. College has proven to be difficult this semester and so I haven't had much time to work on it, but hopefully I can put a lot of time towards discord during the summer. I'm glad someone else wants to see this campaign finished too!
@Terhonator: Go
- The Terran campaign is indeed the first one. The other two do not have any maps finished yet.
- I think the void update messed up the names of some units. thanks for letting me know about the error.
- I understand your difficulty with the text. I am not a master writer but I do want to tell a story with this campaign so I probably won't be cutting down on it too much. You can always skip any cinematics with the escape key. I'll have to let players know they can skip cinematics in the game.
- Mission 2 has probably the most beautiful terrain of all. I am very happy with it.
- I actually did not make the custom models. I have collected them from the assets section of SC2mapster. The people who made the custom models are listed in my Thanks to section on this page. They are awesome people and allowed this mod and other mods to have awesome custom models!
- Do you think I should reduce the number of abilities on heroes or have a tutorial for them in the first mission?
@Baelethal: Go
How's progress been Baelethal? haven't seen a progress update in a while so wonder how things are going. hope everything is going well.
Hi. I played first Terran mission
- I did not really know should I choose what race and am I skipping something if I don't choose leftmost.
- To me custom Marine's name was Unit/Name/Marine2 or something like that (not sure if this has someting to do with localization? Custom models worked ok, so I belive I have placed Mod to proper folder.)
- Too much text. I am more like "let's cut off the crap and start fighting" type so to me texts did not give me much value.
- The planet seems very dry so I think water does not belong to that planet. I also recommend to test some different lighting for that planet. I liked mission2 terrain much more.
- You have the talent to create custom models! This is the true jewel of your campaign! Focus on doing great custom units with custom models.
- I did not use abilities much but Im was able to complete the mission on Normal difficulty. I always got confused if I have many abilities to deal with + I am not patient to read texts :)
