Lille Fiskerby Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The campaign file (.cam) goes into : game files/Campaigns and if you use the mods they go into : user data/mods/z. If you havent used mods before create the z directory in the mods directory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 downloading it now... @Imperial Grunt... your campaign is also listed herehttp://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/cm-black-sea-add-ons/task-force-spartan-resolve/ whats the difference? also.. can anyone tell me where to put the files once downloaded The file on the Scenario Depot is just the campaign (.cam) file. In the Drop Box link there is both the campaign file and two Mod Pack files. The large Mod Pack file includes my personal mod mix as well as some mods specific for the campaign. The smaller Mod Pack file is just the mods specific for the campaign. None of the mods are required. When you download the campaign file, put the .cam file in your game's campaign folder (found under your documents directory). The mod packs contain read me text files which should help with installing those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille Fiskerby Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 yes you can put the complete folder into the Z folder but remember that if you have many mods some of them can overwrite others, lets say you have 2 different sound mods for the same, lets say, tank only one of them works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Are the mods you packaged all pre-existing? I d/ded your mod pack. But. it occurred to me I almost certainly have all of them already. (In which case I should delete your pack as they will be duplicates.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Loads of fun so far, into mission two now. I have learned that Javelin Missiles don't work too well in the forest. Â Thanks Imperial Grunt for all the hard work! Â Semper Fi! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethaface Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Started the first mission yesterday and having a blast so far! At night those crack para's are really deadly. Sitrep: ambush successful and obj nightmare cleared of enemy elements. One casualty but he might make it. Mounted in vehicles and moving fast towards objectives dark and fear. Enemy contact. Out  Thanks for all the effort that was made to produce this campaign! Also like your mod collection, so thanks for including it.

Boche Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Let me just say its been a great campaign so far...spent half my leave playing it! Â quick question. ive reached "Lock Shields" mission. The briefing states an hour and half long timer, but the timer only shows half an hour. Mistake?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Does it really? That is definitely a mistake. It must have happened in my final adjustments, I'll check tonight.

Imperial Grunt Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 OK my fellow CM warriors. I've been advised that you can replace a campaign with an updated campaign and it will only effect saves between missions. So don't progress to the last mission yet if you can. Updated file will be posted tonight, PST. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipp Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I only played through the first mission so far but I liked it a lot and want to say: Thank you very much for the effort you have put into this. Â Â My first mission ended with a draw, but I got lucky, because there were no enemy troops in the comm station (although I had not been there at all) and so the Russians did not get the point for that. The final result was 2500 to 2145. The ambush and the attack on Nightmare went pretty well, minimal casualties and lots or burning Tigrs. On top of the convoy a patrol also ran into my ambush from the other side and got slaughtered. To support the attack on Nightmare I called in the vehicles, especially the 50cal trucks, that helped a lot but one of them got ambushed by an enemy infantry squad in the woods next to a road and blew up. That made me really careful about moving around too carelessly. When moving towards the checkpoint at the two bridges one of my squads got pinned by an MG positioned near the highway and I lost three man. It took me a while to get troops into position to take them out and the clock was ticking. On top of that a patrol ran into my squads and took two men out with an automatic grenade launcher. I decided my men were not fit enough to go for the other objectives, instead I went for the checkpoints and sent my XO to call in artillery on the SAM site. That artillery strike worked very well and took out the SAM. When clearing the way for my retreat I took two more casualties from Russians in the woods. But everybody left with 5 mins on the clock, so I probably was too cautious. Considering that the SAM Site was shot up pretty well, I probably should have sent one squad there to touch it. But the lives of my men were more important to me than some secondary objective that the general wants checked off his list :-). Â Edited to mark the spoiler correctly.

Imperial Grunt Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Gents,  A corrected version of the .cam file is now posted. The only change was to correct the time limit of the final scenario from 30 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes (plus variable extra time).  The new .cam is available here:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27642219/Task%20Force%20Spartan%20Resolve.zip  I will also post it on the Scenario Depot website here:  http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/  I apologize for the inconvenience.

borg Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 hi Imperial Grunt ! I have a couple of queries, not sure if you can give me a quick Heads up and at the same time, serves for others who 'might' have similar issues. Im on a Mac OS. The mod folder i downloaded in addition to the .cam, contains multiple folders. Most of which are ok. However, i cannot get the music folder to become 'active'. Shouldn't this folder simply be in the 'Z' folder as usual? The splash screens are appearing where they should. Also., did i read correct.. i copy the .txt file containing the 173rd patch into a 'new' folder called Mod Tags, which should be located in the Game Files and not Z. The Game Files is the same directory where there are Scenarios, Campaigns, Incoming Mail, etc. Am i following well here ?  Finally, incidentally i have a folder called modtags1 in my Z folder. Should i remove that and place it in the 'Game Files' As stated in your description.  Thanks a lot for your kind patience !  Borg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for the music files, they are incompatible for the Mac, which is why they are not working for you. The mod tag might be in a different place for the Mac as well. Experiment a little. If things are working right, you should see a 173rd Airborne patch on the US soldiers in SR scenarios. Open up a non-SR scenario and you shouldn't see that patch on the soldiers. I should have mentioned that everything in those folders were made on a PC. I'm hardly the expert on this, so if someone else can add to this, please do!

borg Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 ohhh. Thanks Imperial Grunt. That explains most of it then.. Please someone, ideas? help ? re: 1.

L0ckAndL0ad Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Could anyone post some overview/preview screens of the maps from the campaign? And what's the average force size for missions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euri Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 SPOILERS - a small critique  In the mission where we are supposed to investigate the crash site and the possible hideouts, the AFVs and Tanks of the enemy reinforcement spawn at ground which allows them to have direct lines of site/fire with the distant hills and other parts of the battleflield. As a result the blue player is suddently punished by sudden - cannon death for having deployed its Humnvees to good observation points  Having said that, it is a great experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boche Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Spoilers about crash site mission:In my opinion this is the weakest of the missions in the campaign. The fact that Russian units are everywhere already takes me out of the experience of the mission. Looks more like an attack mission rather than a "investigate before the russians arrive" mission. Looks like the russians are already there in force. I preety much ended "gaming" the system and moving my humvees around to touch all the objeectives and "win". Personally I would change the mission a bit, but still really enjoyed the campaigh FIrst campaign to be finished in BS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
