"Crimson Moon" is a part of the Custom Campaign Initiative. Check it out!

What is this?

"Crimson Moon" is a 10-mission campaign. It features high quality terrain, an engrossing storyline with a high amount of cut scenes, many memorable characters, and a varied set of mission scenarios. Mission objectives range from the familiar (bring a limited amount of units to a special location, destroy the enemy base, survival), to the more unique (stealth, investigation). The storyline has its fair share of twist and turns, so I will not reveal too much, except for a few details:

  • You play as Terran.
  • It all begins on a backwater mining world called Roverville, where a missing morning patrol set events in motion that will have dire consequences.
  • You will visit several worlds, and a multitude of different tilesets is used.
  • In some missions, you will find yourself in unusual environments, such as sewers, winter military bases, and even a multi-story transport vessel.

How to play

  • Download the file on your computer, and unzip.
  • The maps should be placed in a folder named "Crimson Moon" in the "Maps" folder. If the placement is wrong, the maps won't connect.
  • No mod is required.
  • When starting the campaign, use the mission launcher, which lets you choose which mission you want to play.

Music

In addition to using selections from Blizzard's excellent soundtrack for Wings of Liberty, I've also chosen some tracks from other soundtracks and albums. Some appear several times, but here they are, in the order they appear in the game:

  • "The Leper Affinity" by Opeth, from "Blackwater Park".
  • "Vats of Goo" by Mark Morgan, from "Fallout".
  • "Rock Bottom" by Kiss, from "Dressed to Kill".
  • "The Forsaken Cemetary" by Russell Brower, Derek Duke, Glenn Stafford, Neal Acree and Laurence Juber, from "Diablo 3".
  • "Intermission III" by Norihiko Hibino, from "Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance".
  • "Arsenal's Guts" by Norihiko Hibino and Harry Gregson-Williams, from "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty".
  • "Morton" by Ennio Morricone, from "Once Upon a Time in the West".
  • "Main Theme (MGS3 Version)" by Harry Gregson-Williams, from "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater".
  • "Siberia" by Graeme Norgate, from "Timesplitters 2".
  • "Rex's Lair" by Norihiko Hibino, from "Metal Gear Solid".
  • "Mr. Roque/Betty's Theme" by Angelo Badalementi, from "Mulholland Drive".
  • "Metal Gear Saga" by Harry Gregson-Williams, from "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots".
  • "Neo Tokyo" by Graeme Norgate, from "Timesplitters 2".
  • "Virtuous Mission" by Harry Gregson-Williams/Norihiko Hibino, from "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater".
  • "Wandering Flame" by Nobuo Uematsu, from "Final Fantasy X".

Shout-outs

Though the project is all mine, I've also been inspired by others, and I'd like to extend my thanks to the following:

  • Tyneara and the rest of the Custom Campaign Initiative for helping build a campaign community.
  • The creators of the SC1 remake campaigns, from where I found the inspiration to using custom music and making atmospheric intros.
  • OneTwoSC, for his Youtube video of how to make a snow tileset.
  • Terhonator, for his mission launcher.
  • The guys over at the Map Art Thread on the Team Liquid forums, for much visual inspiration.
  • Last, but certainly not least: everyone who plays the campaign, and everyone who gives constructive feedback!

Bugs

There are no known bugs at the time being, but some have a tendency to show up anyway. Most of these is of the kind that only require a restart to fix.

    This has been asked before. To be honest, I don't know. You'll have to try to redownload or something. It's coming often now, though, which bugs me, as I don't have a solution.

    • Crimson Moon: Single-player campaign - 100% complete, playable now!
    • Amber Sun: New single-player campaign - demo available now!

    Opening the maps in the editor (either launcher or the actual maps) just shows nothing (no terrain) and the "test map" button is disabled. Any ideas?

    All I can is this: open the campaign launcher in the editor. Hit "test map" and launch the missions from the launcher in-game.

    Good question. I've fixed things here and there all the time ever since I last updated it, but haven't found these things to be big enough to warrant an entire new upload. So I can't specify all the details. To be honest, uploading a new version now is akin to restarting a supposedly broken machine: an easy solution that hopefully fixes a problem that may seem bigger than it is. I'm not a very technical guy. I just try things and hope they work, which they surprisingly end up doing most of the time.

    What is the different with the old version?

  • Avatar of EivindL EivindL May 01, 2013 at 13:44 UTC - 0 likes

    A new version is now up.

    I'm going to reupload the entire thing, see if it fixes it. I don't think it's a patch thing, as it works for most people.

    I'm also having the same problem where the maps are blank and it shows a instant victory. I tried restarting a few of them to no avail. I can't even seem to launch the maps by drag and dropping (maybe a patch change?). Am I doing something wrong here? Your maps look great by the way, I was really hoping to try them.

    Thanks

    The assume position map is hard, until I figure out you are not suppose to win, you are suppose to survive ^_^.

    My favorite are the black khan ,veil of frost and under the crimson moon.

    Great work here.
