RPG The Battle For Middle-Earth: REMAKE

[TheLegend]

I've been digging in my old PC and found an not so old but forgotten project. This project was started for you members of TheHelper.net and I wish to complete it for you. I'm kind of lazy when it comes to map making but I was able to absorb everything useful in this forum and bind it into the project:

THE BATTLE FOR MIDDLE-EARTH​

Epic RPG​

First to begin with the good old changelog:

Spoiler

// Version 1.40 Changelog
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//FIXED     - Units now more balanced
//FIXED     - The starting cinematic is now set to Sauron or Nazgul acoording to player number
//REPLACED  - All cinematic's are now coded into vJass
//REMOVED   - There are no more camera main units so the camera will not be focused on the hero anymore
//ADDED     - Time now goes as in real life, that is when its night its dark and you have to use light
//            to see and when its day you see normaly
//ADDED     - Notification dialogs which help the players. They contain info about the game, controls etc.
//FIXED     - The maximum camera distance is now greater giving you more detailed info about creep and your
//            location
//FIXED     - It is now no longer needed to wait for other players to get out of cinematic mode because
//            all cinematics are now vJass coded and use locals instead of previous globals.

The story:

Spoiler

You all heard about the legend of the One ring, that it was forged by Sauron in order to take over the World. This story is a bit different from the original. You start in Argonath, one of the remaining refuge cities, as a warrior willing to help the main characters of LOTR. Gandalf has already fallen in battle and Sauron has managed to revive himself but he still needs the ring. In the first missions you will not face Frodo or Sauron or Gandalf, you will be helping the cities to withstand the pressure of Saurons forces. Many dungeons can only be opened when you reach a certain power level but if you are too strong the dungeon will close. Fight Sauron, restore peace to the world with your friends and enjoy the game

I have had enough of this map guys so I'm gonna give it to someone. The cinematic triggers have to be rewritten into jass and there is a library with the samples. Happy scripting or learning, this can be both a tutorial or a new map so use it with care. The systems and trigger concept can be very useful for future RPG makers. The libraries were created after the triggers when i learned jass so i intended to rewrite the map but I dont have the time.OVER AND OUT :thup:
BFME
RATE THE MAP LOW SO THAT PEOPLE DONT THINK IT IS DONE

I think this looks nice, when are you going to upload the protected version?

I can test it for you tonight if you want

 

[TheLegend]

This looks very, very interesting. I hope you continue to polish it up, because this is one theme that is only going to get coolter, i like your plot twist. Rare that anyone actively works on a warcraft map that i'm this interested in.

Still working on this?

I saw this in the OP:

- Not possible to use some cheats like immortality, god mode and gold cheats

I'm assuming that you mean the cheats like "greedisgood XXX" etc that can only be used in Single Player mode.
You can do things like cause the game to crash when a player types those words; there is an event for player entered text. Or just display Defeat for the player when they type that.

Or if you want the game to continue, you could do things to counter it. For example, if a player types in greedisgood 1000, you can check the amount typed in and remove 1000 gold and lumber from that player.

There are many ways to anti common cheats, however for hacking programs it becomes slightly more advanced.
