campaign description
« on: 16 Jul 2005, 19:26:21 »
ive got another problem with the description.ext for my campaign when i start up i see the name of the mission with the underscores as in
01.Suprise_suprise
thats how its seen how can i have it so it just says
Suprise Suprise ?
the 1985 campaign has its folders ass all one word for example the montiganc must fall is like this
04MontignacMustFall.Eden
but on the campiagn selection screen its shown as
Montignac Must Fall
i think i know it has spaces in and so on and has a totally different name than the folder says

also in the 1985 description.ext they define montigance must fall like this

      class 04OperaceMOPA: MissionDefault
      {
         noAward=true;
         end1 = 05aAfterMOPa;
         end2 = 05bTransport;
         end3 = 05bTransport;
         end4 = 05bTransport;
         end5 = 05bTransport;
         end6 = 05bTransport;
         lost = 04OperaceMOPA;
         template = 04MontignacMustFall.Eden;
      };

basically a bit different

does anyone know how to fix this problem ?

>does any1 know of this problem?

yep.

read this tute here

and grab this campaign maker (which also contains a brief helpfile with your 'problem'

If there's still something about campaign structures specifically, that I haven't explained well in that tute, contact me and I'll re-write it to do so.

aha thanks alot look just what i needed ive just woken up and i cant be bothered reading anything so ill look at it a bit later on in the day

a few things i cant see a punishment section
and theres something i really want to know but dont have a clue what it does
vssver.scc
every bis mission in the campaign 1985 has that file and so does it in the main folder
what does it do ?

ill read it later on in the day
thanks

EDIT - ive had a quick go with the campaign maker and ive created an folder named YourCampaign
i select new in the campaign maker and load YourCampaign
note the folder also contains a folder named missions with every mission i need in it
so when i click enter on YourCampaign it just closes that little browser box and shows me no missions or anything different
im pretty sure ive done that right but obdvioulsy not
so what am i doing wrong ?
