Quagmire
Year 2488. After three years of fighting across the sector, the Guild Wars are winding down and the Kel-Morian Combine is losing ground on every front. All signs point to an inevitable victory for the Confederacy.
Out of nowhere, Confederate outposts and key facilities on the strategically important colony of Sonyan are hit by a series of well-coordinated raids and bombings. These attacks are carried out by mercenaries believed to be contracted by the Kel-Morians. Confederate forces are placed on high alert and troops are diverted to Sonyan from neighboring colonies. Tensions are rising on some of the Confederate-occupied fringe worlds while Confederate intelligence is scrambling to get a read on the situation...
What is this?

Alternative view: I've released an unfinished version and called it a full release!
This is going to sound like Bethesda but I knew there were going to be things that weren't optimized and issues that I had overlooked. Just trying to do what I can as I come across these things, mainly by watching Jay's playthrough now, if they bother me enough.
Then there's the whole balancing aspect of it which isn't really ever "done".

And this is what people call "support", isn't it?
Bugs and necessary/desirable tweaks after release are almost inevitable even in professional products we buy for money, and often those are not supported for long - if at all.
So I feel a tremendous amount of respect and good words for authors of custom campaigns/maps who keep supporting their projects - it feels both professional AND personal because author cares for you and wants the best for you (a player).
Just my opinion. Have a nice day btw. Hope to see more from you one day. :)

I'm back just to say you're not wrong, and thanks for your support!
This is obviously true. I'm glad that most people seem to recognize the difference between a professional, commercial product vs a free mod made by some nerd in their spare time. The good thing about not making any money from this is that while obviously I won't be happy about any bugs that come up I certainly won't ever feel guilty about it either, so no worries there.
Some sort of larger update to this is likely to happen, aside from that all I can say is I don't have anything in the works. If/when I do, you probably won't hear about it until whatever it is is late in development.

Posted Sep 7, 2019Maginificent campaign! One thing, sometimes, there are not pathing blockers on doodads, so you can pass trough buildings etc.
I LOVE RHINO TANKS!
Btw, what is the name of the song in menu mission 9? Mission name is same as campaign's.

Yeah it turns out I was a little sloppy with the pathing. I'll keep fixing these pathing issues as I discover them.
Rhino Tanks... are usually out to kill you, but other than that, yeah they're pretty cool.
The song you're looking for is "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke and Loud Loud Music" by Big Tuna. I believe it's a cover, it's one of the jukebox tracks in Wings of Liberty.

And all the files seems on place but when i go to Editor it shows me that HEart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void don't have "licence"? I buyed all campaings so I dont know where problem lies.

Hey, no worries! This is just Blizzard being a hassle. In the editor, you'll need to go to File --> "Manage published", log onto your battle.net account, then open the map.
I would recommend creating that shortcut to the Quagmire Launcher and using it to play instead, but you should be able to play via the editor as well.

I did as you told me to do and launcher works..... in a way. When I go to intel or loadout in some places there are no correct words but names of files that should be there. I mean where should be, in intel, outrider description there is "Unit/Name/Outrider, Button/Tolltip/Ripper". When i click Begin campaing, I go to tutorial map, but there is nothing on the map and i am like spectator.

Hm... I don't know man. A couple of things you could try:
First, make sure you've downloaded the latest update for Starcraft 2. If your SC2 is not in english, you could try changing the localization to english from SC2 options and see if that does anything.
Try opening the tutorial map in the editor, then saving it (saving the map file in the editor). See if you get any errors when saving the map. Again, if you can, try creating a shortcut as described in the How to Play section above - OR - do it like this: In your Starcraft II/Support folder, there's an executable named SC2Switcher.exe. You can drag and drop the Launcher map file on it to play the map.

:(. Things you told me to do fixed only the launcher but i have the same problem with tutorial or other maps. Nothing on them. So thanks that you were trying to help me i really appreciate it. I need to be satisfied with Jayborino's playthrough. But I am sure it still will be a lot of fun :)

That's unfortunate. It sounds like the script simply fails to run, but it's odd that the launcher still works.
If you want, feel free to post some screenshots here or PM them to me - I don't know if I'll have a solution for you but I might be able to determine something from that.

I was worried because you wasn't responding to my comment for two days and i was thinking that you get annoyed with my problems. I will say this for third time ,if I recall correctly, but thanks that you were trying to help me.
When I go to Tutorial for example i get list of errors. One of them says:
"Ul:File [SCMRBrief.SC2Layout] Line [2] Column [1]. Attempting to add desc named [SCMRBrief] to [] with the same name as already existing child."
If you dont find what the problem is based on that, than lets just leave it alone. I dont want to waste more of your time.

Don't worry, I don't often respond in a reasonable amount of time - not this time, either. Nothing to do with being annoyed.
Yeah, that error sounds familiar... doesn't have to do with this , unfortunately - it's a leftover from SCMR related to the briefing layout. Shouldn't affect anything.

Posted Sep 6, 2019Are you gonna update the models any time soon? I know it ain't thaaat important but the new retro models would look awesome in the campaign. Also, some dialogues and briefings have the keyboard typing sound effect while others do not. I think that without it the conversations feel a bit too quiet. Oh and the use of Horner model for the magistrate throws me off a bit, not a big deal tho. Great job btw Quagmire is amazing.

I'd like to do a larger update at some point, which would include changing and sorting out some of the models. Probably not any time soon, though.
By "typing sound effect", perhaps you're referring to the loop of gibberish trying to emulate comm static? Those noises are meant to differentiate between transmissions and face-to-face communication. Ideally you'd have voice acting, but alas. I don't know how far-fetched of an idea that would be.

Yeah I probably never set it to "complete", you just get the benefit from each individual mine. You can lose mines, after all, but I guess it makes sense to mark it as completed while all mines are operational. Sounds like you were being thorough on this map!

Do optional objectives ever reward additional points to assign? I won't be concerned in the future if it happens any other times.

Nope, the number of loadout points awarded by each map is a constant.
