Luckily This Wreckage is much better built than When the Freedom Slips Away, so it’s much less buggy on the scripting level. Unluckily, it contains a whole heap of custom models and data that Reforged doesn’t seem to like. Sigh. No rest for the wicked, huh?
This is a bit overdue because I was sort-of waiting for Reforged to stabilise a bit and… uh… well, since the dev team has apparently been dismantled, I guess this is as stable as it’s going to get! So behold: This Wreckage Gold with a load of fixes and small tweaks! … and a whole heap of unfixable “known issues”. Double sigh.
This Wreckage Gold
The primary issue is that the ability selection system does not work anymore, due to bugs that have been introduced to the Engineering Upgrade ability. However, there is an interesting way of determining whether you’re running a newer version of WC3 available at the Hive so I’ve added a simple “Reforged or not?” check which swaps out the full ability selection system for a standard set. Thus the map will continue to be playable, but it won’t be the full experience, which you can of course get by playing in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne version 1.26.
Known issues you may or may not see in any Reforged version (1.27 and above):
- Incorrect loading screen shows - Minimap shows instead of preview image in lobby - Some camera angles are off centre - Finale cinematic lyric timings are very off - Intro title fade filter is off centre - Intro text is off centre - Some units do not have shadows - Some tooltips are cut off a few words before their true ends - Henrik only has a single ability choice available at each stage

Hey, I’m playing this map at the moment, and im stuck at the fight with “Five”. He knockback me into the wall (firstly), then after 10/20 sec. i teleported into the spot where the vendor is (female one (jaina model)). Now i cannot progress… is there a Anti-Stuck command?

No, I’m afraid not. I hope you saved the game before the big fight!

I gave the 14 mushrooms to the agent but nothing happen. Also the guitar of the bard, I gave it to him, nothing happen neither. I play on 1.31 though.

Version 1.31 has never been tested so is not guaranteed to work. You’ll need to downgrade to 1.26 for the authentic experience or upgrade to 1.32, both of which have been confirmed to work correctly.

I found a problem in the Supply and Demand quest. I tried to give the supply crate to Balthasar by putting the items into his inventory, but there’s no response whatsoever from Balthasar. There’s also another similar problem with A Book on Energy quest. I played on version 1.31.

That’s unfortunate. However, I do not have an install of 1.31 to verify this on, so I can only suggest you either downgrade to 1.26 for the authentic experience or upgrade to 1.32 where I made sure both of these quests operate as expected.

What bout 1.31.1, last not-Reforged version of WC3?
Does it have those issues described under “1.27 and later”?
Jayborino should learn about this version (and the best way to play it) ASAP!

Issues like the backpack wigging out should be sorted on all versions. I have only tested it on 1.26 and 1.32, but I’m hoping everything in between should be fine as I have addressed a number of issues that were reported “along the way”. Your mileage may vary.
