JonS Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 That's a fairly big one - 20 odd battles. What I find works quite well is to first draw a flowchart of how you envisage the battles in the campaign fitting together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[bLUE DEFEAT TEXT] This campaign started with a quote that war is not about you dying for your country but making your enemy die for his.

Boche Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just one question. in the battle name, for example USMC Cmpn 18 Dancing in Damascus vF USMC Cmpn 19 Highway Two vE is USMC Cmpn 19 and vE and vF some sort of code or do these names actually show up in the marine campaign? checked and no they dont, so what is it with this code? cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It's the file name, and yes it is a code of sorts. UK Cmpn 17 Bashar in Our Hearts vA breaks out as: UK - the scen is for the UK module Cmpn - the scen is for the campaign 17 - the number of the scen within the campaign Bashar in Our Hearts - is the scen name vA - the version of the scen. There is some admin overhead in versioning scenarios, because you have to edit the campaign script each time you version any of the scens, but overall I find it worthwhile. The 'code' is a personal thing I use to keep the scenarios together when looking for files in MS Explorer, etc. You can see broadly the same approach being used in George's script. The file name is not used 'inside' the scen ... unless you choose to use the full file name as the scen name, or sumfink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
