jdg Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ok I'm new to this adding stuff to the game. I've found the instructions on adding mods but haven't found an on how to add those second party scenarios & campaigns that have been done. So can somebody walk me though how that is done. I would appreciate any help I can get. jdginaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Just toss them into the 'scenario' sub folder that you should find inside your 'game' folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdg Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 That's the thing I don't seem to have a scenario file. Just have mod tool, misc and data files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your game folder (assuming you on Windows) will be under your documents folder (click on the folder icon on windows (usually bottom left) and navigate to "Documents This PC". Looks like this on my PC: C:\Users\George Mc\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Red Thunder Edited October 9, 2016 by George MC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heirloom_Tomato Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If you are on a PC you will need to look in your documents folder. The pathway will be similar to this: C:\Users\X\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Red Thunder\Game Files The X in this case is your username. The scenario folder is in the Game Files section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC- Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This took me some time and head scratching as well, curious why it is in different folders like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It's split up like that because windows requires it to be like that. That's why all releases after CMBN are broken up like this. I'm not tech savvy enough to know the rationale behind why Microsoft would require this. Maybe someone with more computer knowledge can explain that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttp Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I had a similar problem for awhile***, but mine had to do with sound mods. I was trying to change some modded CMFI sounds, but no matter what I tried in the Data\z folder, I couldn't get a few sounds to change. And then I discovered that there's another folder where you can mod your game: UserData\Mods. No idea how I missed that info.... So there's the standard mod folder you always hear about: C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefront\Combat Mission Fortress Italy\Data\z But there's also: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy\User Data\Mods I didn't know about UserData\Mods folder until a few days ago. (!!) I have no idea how a few modded sound files got there without me knowing. (I probably just forgot. Aging sucks.) But apparently the files placed in UserData\Mods will trump any files of the same name put in Data\z. *** Within the last week a certain little utility has made finding files and folders on my PC so much faster and easier, so I can't avoid mentioning it. It's called Everything. Whereas Windows Explorer search is a PITA, this utility's results are basically instantaneous, even if there are thousands of them. And it takes up few resources. On its first run it went nuts, cataloging my ~22TB of drives (which ended up taking only about 10 minutes), so at first I thought it was gonna be a system hog. But nope. It now just runs in the background, using only ~150MB of RAM. (For me at least.) I just found this program last week, and I'm ecstatic. For years I'd been cussing how slow the search function within File Explorer/Windows Explorer had become. Now that's irrelevant.
