[Campaign Engine. Or Atleast Unencrypted Scenario Files]

hi Danscan,

what you've described is excactly what I have in mind. I've started programing some applications 3 month ago. It will be this way:

1. create a campaign

- units (battalions, companies)

- map (bmp,jpg.gif)

- Terrain information (for spotting and movement calculations)

(- no hexes but squares)

2. play the campaign

-move units

-reinforcement and maybe supply

-create battles

-import battles

3. create battles in cmbb

-import battle files to cmbb

-export battle (unit casulties) from cmbb

(in a similiar way as map mission does it)

If anybody knows how to post pictures I can show you a screenshot...

Nothing has been really finished yet but I am on the way....

Maybe you have some good ideas which you want to share with me.... ?

[Editor Question]

thank you, that's what I asked for!

[Editor Question]

Does anybody know what the feature "Map Edge friendly to" mean (it's in the parameter section)?

[execute cmbb with paramters?]

Thank you for your reply.

[execute cmbb with paramters?]

Does anybody know if it's possible to execute Combat mission.exe with parameters(e.g. the path to a pbem file)? or is there another possibility to start cmbb and jump immedetialy to a pbem game?

Thanks

First there is a problem when purchasing units. You can't save the game while you are in the unit purchase screen. Player A has to buy the army. Second you can't save the game when it's in the movie phase. That means you need some more coordination between player A and B what results in much more file exchange (both have to watch the movie, and therefore both need the original file from team 2). I don't think this will work fine unless you define an algorithm.
