wtf willie, you've got an attitude problem man, how do you expect to learn without tuts... thats where everyone starts!
You say you don't want tuts cos you can't be bothered to read them but anything we post involves reading and im sure any of our explanations would be as long as a simple tut anyway!!!!  ::)

FFS - For Fuck's Sake ?

The description.ext file is edited with a text editor like Notepad.

Token from campaign description for beginners download

How do you open it?


Description.ext - Introduction

This is the main file that tells the game how to deal with your campaign and, most importantly, what order your missions go in. It also contains other details such as the number of lives you have throughout the campaign, an awards system and the identities of characters used.

Open the example in the campaign files you just downloaded. While reading through this, you should refer to it and this should make better sense. I will now cover some of the parts that a basic campaign Description.ext will have.

Code: [Select]
Open the example in the campaign files you just downloaded

Didn't you get any example files?

The description.ext files can be opened with Notepad as Macguba already pointed out.

At the risk of self advertisment, read "macguba's guide to mission editing for beginners."     Then download the Tutorial Mission and use the description.ext in there as a template.   It doesn't have any campaign stuff, but you can copy and paste things in from the description.ext tute.

I think a lot of people in this thread needs to step back, take a chill pill, and grow up.

Artak has linked to tutorials which solve the issue first presented in the thread, so I see no use in letting this flaming go on.
