Noir : Automata

Set 2 years after the final event of Legacy of the Void.

The three race now living peacefully.

But it all change when the Purifiers reprogram the Spear of Adun and attack the protoss capital, killing all the Twilight Council members and declare war on all living intelligent being.

The three race turn to Heirarch Artanis to stop the Purifiers. But when the world need him the most Heirarch Artanis vanish.

The survivors of the war join together under the Alliance Command Council [ACC] and fight back the purifiers one battle field at a time.

This is my 3rd project for StarCraft II. I've really enjoyed the story campaign of StarCraft and have played through all three. Terran the Wings of Liberty, Zerg Heart of the Swarm and Protoss Legacy of the Void, along with many different custom campaigns made by fellow mapster.

Take command of The Eradicator and the survivors of the Purifiers war.
8 Missions with different terrain and environment. Focus heavily on RPG element.
2 Cinematic maps around 10 minutes each.
Boss Battle for each mission.
Custom models from fellow mapster (see credits section for more info).

Hi Edhriano, one quick question.

I imagine that both the mods files should be in the SC2 install directory (which for me is D-disc)

But the mission launcher, does this go also in the install folder, or the folder that is created in the documents and settings folder?

Edit:

First off let me say: the idea with that mission launcher is really cool. But I think I'm doing something wrong.

I've got all sc2map files in the following folder:

D:\Mijn Documenten\Documenten\StarCraft II\Maps\NoirAutomata

(this is my equivalent for the documents and settings folder on C-drive)

but every time I want to start a mission through the mission launcher, I get an error that it cant find the map.

I'm almost certain that my map structure is haywire... could I just play each map by opening that one directly, or is there some kind of uprade-thing that spans over multiple missions?

In reply to WingedArchon:

Well my default is :

c:/programfiles/StarcraftII/Maps/NoirAutomata/.

I put all the map files there, but I think it is ok if you want to put the launcher anywhere else.

In reply to EDHRIANO:

I found this a little below. I've got the same structure more or less, the important part anyway, reading in at: Starcraft II > Maps > NoirAutomata - and then all the maps. The mission launcher is also in that file. But for some reason I can't load the missions from the launcher mapfile. (they are selectable however)
I've loaded the epiloque mission directly instead and played throught it almost, this does seem to work without problems.

Sure, here it is.

Sure you could. I am not using banks or anything like that. Each map is independent.

Hello sc2mapster.
Thank you for downloading and playing my custom campaign.
For all the feedbacks and the videoplays.
Only 2 more maps to complete the campaign but sadly I am forced to put them on hold.
The reason is because I am currently having technical difficulty with my pc (as a fellow mapster said a fancy name for broken computer).
Which explain why no more update in almost two months.
I was hoping to continue mapping the campaign sometime last week but sadly it didn't work out.
Until I can have it fixed or buy a new one I am putting this campaign on hold.
Hopefully the technical difficulty will be resolved in 1-2 months.

I really like the campaign as a whole, but I'm not sure how much I like the final cutscene of the Wrath Of The Tal'darim map/the idea behind it.

I don't want to criticise what's an otherwise good story, but I don't really feel like Alarak's dialogue makes sense with him blowing himself up, especially because of the whole "the tal'darim are slaves to die for the highlord" thing at the start. I really expected him to teleport out right before the bomb exploded to thematically fit the thing set up in the start, and because it kind of just makes more sense for him to have an escape plan to go along with his nuke everything plan?

I otherwise enjoyed the mission a lot, even with those reavers causing more than one reload on my part

In reply to aliencomander:

Hello there aliencomander, glad you enjoy the campaign as a whole.

There are actually 4 hints on why Alarak can not escape. Three in this map, and one in other map.

But 1st, Spoiler Warning !

1. In the loading screen, 'what was left of their once mighty death fleet'. Meaning alarak can not call for anymore help because what you see is all there is.

2. In the intro cinematic, Radamantis ask for help before the connection was lost. In the ending cinematic Sin Ar told Marie that Radamantis died that day. Hinting that the A.C.C were also fighting and in no shape to send reinforcement.

3. The mothership said "seismic activity interfering with the sensor". and each time the mothership going to summon a unit you get a warning 'must near pylon'. And as you can see, there are no Tal'darim pylon in the boss stage.

4. In the Epilogue map, NS-5 Told SinAr that large number of enemy units or one very powerful unit such as Titan-class weapon can jammed their signal. Or in this case 3 central core units, Alarak can not call for emergency warp because the cores are blocking his communication with the mothership.

Just played the new mission:

1.Very good,I liked it but....The boss battle is just impossible to make on normal (Tried 2 times and I had him at half health but I was keeping to die from his attacks and the lift even if I was using shield recharge and after zealots came and killed me.)

Know bug

Sometimes after reloading several times the custom soundtrack will stop to play.

I currently don't know how to fix this.

I will further experiment how to fix this problem [if it is fixable].

In reply to crixis48:

Hello crixis48, how are you.

This usually happens, if 2 people using different editor language versions edit the same map.

For example, a map maker is using English version of the Editor. Someone downloaded the map and use Portuguese / other language to open and edit the map. It is very likely the param/value will happen.

Here is a link how to fix it, but you must do it manually : Param Value how to fix it.

Here is a link to Jayborinoplays's video on how to fix it :
