RommL Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Here, I will like to conceive a campaign. How to create it? is this simple one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The basics are explained in the game manual: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_flippingbook&book_id=2&Itemid=223&firstPageNumber=132 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommL Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thank you I have this manual! but I read that it is necessary to do a kind of computer code for that it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Not sure where you read it but you don't need any code. All the necessary basics are explained in the manual. Maybe with "code" you're referring to the campaign script file? You need that to create the .cam file, but it's not code, it's a simple text file, and the format is explained in the manual, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommL Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 I talk about this text kind. Is necessary you it to write it thus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 No, just the basic text will do. You'll find that in a file somewhere in your games files called 'My little campaign' or something like that. That's all you'll need to get you started. Once you've found that, get two or three scenarios that you've made (or adapt somebody elses scenarios) and try your hand at compliling. It looks easy but you'll make mistakes and debugging can take quite a bit of time. Don't wait until you're nearly finished to start doing this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommL Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Is it necessary to do this kind of text ? someone can send me an example of this text through my mail? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 RommL, an example file exists in your installation directory already - it comes with the game. For your convenience, I am attaching it here again.My Little Campaign.txt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommL Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Therefore if I well understood, i must write between the symbols! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I tried to send you a copy of the very short one I wrote for my mini campaign to your email but you have this disabled. I'll try again tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RommL Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 For the script, it suffices that I write this text? Anything else? and the descriptive one of the campaign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 That's a working script for a linear three mission campaign. Combined with the manual, you now have all the info you need to write a compaign script of any length and complexity. (The script for Hasrabit has over 400 lines of text.) Copy and paste is your friend here. You don't have to write out every single line. As for the campaign briefing, well that goes into the core units file just like a normal briefing. Your best way forward now is to experiment with what you've got. Try compiling a 2 or 3 mission campaign and get back to us if you have any problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RommL Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Another question. in the unity kernel, is necessary you it to put the two camps or just the camp of the player? For the remainder I think to have understood. it suffices to create a card as for a single scenario... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the remainder I think to have understood. it suffices to create a card as for a single scenario... Whew, unity kernel? WTF is that?! Do you mean parameters for the Computer controlled side? If that's so and the computer doesn't have Core forces in that mission then no, you can leave the computer opponents resupply replacement lines with a value of 0. And yes, you need one 'card' for each scenario. If there are two or more different versions of the same scenario (Branches) then you need a 'card' for each one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RommL Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Therefore I to create a unity kernel just for the blue camp! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
