Making Campaign

[1460days_campaigns]

I have all the missions done and ready to go i just have to put them together for a campaign any ideas?  I tried using the OFP campaign editor, but do you have to make that a PBO file or what i need some help contact me by socom@oda596.net or respond here or even socom_oda on yahoo.  Thanks

Welcome to the forum!    You don't need email, questions get asked publically and answered publically, that way everybody can benefit from the knowledge shared.  

Campaigns are managed by a description.ext file.   There are tutes in the Ed Depot.     I suspect you will also need a pbo tool to turn the campaign folder (which contains the campaign pbo and the mission folders) into a campaign.pbo

You can unpbo the official campaigns to see how it's done.   Use Amalfi's pbo decryptor for that.

Ok i get this error when i try to play the campaign.  Campaigns/1460dayscampaigns.eden/description.ext/campaign/part1/: ',' encountered instead of '{'    what did i do also i use the jungle everon for this campaign does the eden mean something else?

[Tomb]

...description.ext...

Check & doubleCheck EVERYTHING written in the description file

[1460days_campaigns]

it says now that something in the file about part1.kramer.ebeden_jungle.intro why is there an intro on the end is that messing it up

[1460days_campaigns]

can somebody contact me on a messenger and i can send you the missions so you can work on the description its giving me all sorts of fits and this is the first time i have worked on the campaign description. HELP!!!  The campaign is well worth it so HELP!!!

[macguba]

I don't know anything about campaigns so I can't help.    However, Black_Feather took the trouble to look at your file and post an edited version.    The least you can do is A) thank him and B) post the exact error message and the circumstances in which it occurred.

As things stand at the moment we don't even know whether the error has come from the original file you posted, Black_Feather's version or another version.    We'll help you if we can but we need something to work with.  

[1460days_campaigns]

yeah was black_feathers.  This is the exact No entry 'campaigns\1460dayscampaign1966.eden\description.ext\Campaign\Part1.kramer.ebeden_jungle.  All i can see is the end of 1460dayscampaign1966.eden??  whats the eden mean?  Also i did thank black feathers in my credits at the end of the campaign.
