CM Repository: Sort scenarios by size, like in-game?

[moeburn]

Is there any way to sort the scenarios and campaigns by the size of the battle/number of units, like you can in-game? Because I simply do not yet have the patience for big battles, anything greater than a single company is just too much micro-management for me.

What the repository really needs is sortable lists of item titles and categories rather than just displaying the whole entry, blog-style. Right now you have to read through many walls of text to find out what's there.

+1 for both those ideas

There is an excellent scenario organizer created by Mad Mike over at GaJ's Mods Warehouse.

I download all scenarios and then sort them (and play them) using this tool.

"Description:

A tool that will create a sortable listing of all scenarios (btt files) in a given directory. The program will automatically read out parameters like battle size, date and time of day for the scenario, its duration, the weather etc. The resulting listing can then be sorted for these parameters.

In version 0.2, a sortable listing for campaigns can be created as well. The tool will also extract the individual scenarios from a campaign, making them playable in CMBN independently of the campaign and even allowing for changes in the Scenario Editor.

The campaign script is visualised in the generated campaign listing, providing an overview of the connections between battles in a campaign."
