Making Quick Battles (but using campaign maps)

[Bozilas]

Anyone out there know how to create a quick battle (custom settings AKA weather, force types, etc) --- BUT using a campaign map instead?

 

Thanks bruvs,

You would very probably need to write and test AI scripts for the map and then re-save it as a QB map for use as normal, hopefully the AI will assign units from your picks to the correct AI groups, again this would probably need testing. 

For the same level or slightly less effort you could just write a custom scenario which you could share with the wider community (although a truly massive and functional QB map might be equally popular).

I see your point but --- I was interested in using campaign maps for PBEM quick battles.  Any thoughts on that?

Download this program.

It will allow you to split existing campaigns into seperate scenarios. Place the BTT-files in your QUICK BATTLE MAPS folder (user/documents/battlefront/quick battle maps) and load them into the scenario editor. Remove the force selections and tweak other stuff like objectives, time, weather,  set-up zones to what you like and re-save it. I think this ought to work...If your maps are ment for PBEM QBs only then you will not need to add (or remove) any AI-plans IIRC.

Instructions how to use the program comes with the download and if you are not familiar with the editor your best bet for learning how to edit things like time, weather and removing units would be to check out the manual i belive. It is very well described there...

You'd still need to set the victory conditions, but it should be pretty doable.

Thanks! I'll test this out and report back.  Appreciate you taking the time.
