Modifying a Scenario

[MikeyBikey]

I went into the Pearl Harbor scenario. I wanted to create a new task force that would invade Oahu. I have always thought that if the Japanese had invaded Oahu, they would have held off the US forces for an extra year or two. Read Harry Turledove's 'Days of Infamy'. I couldn't create a new task force, but I could edit an old one. I tried to edit the Midway Destruction Unit. I, then, went to Add Ship and tried to add a ship. Well, as far as I can tell, I could only add a ship from an existing task force. They weren't any transports available. It looks like you can edit a scenario, but not much. True, I haven't studied editing in the manual (there is never enough time). Are there any new scenarios on the web yet? If so where?

Think there is only one so far.   The link to it is in one of the posts in this subforum (CAW>>Mods and Scenarios).

I'll be posting the new scenarios/graphic mods I make (plus any others that need a host) at:

You can edit everything in a scenario, SSG uses it to create the boxed ones. Unfortunately the manual doesn't include a proper manual/tutorial for the editor like the old CCAW and even the C64/Apple versions had. It should be easy enough to create new ships and TGs if the ship class is already in the original scenario. The editor is a bit quirky at times and you probably need to experiment to see how things are cobbled together.
Take a look at a scenario with an invasion to see how its put together.
I've converted the Guadalcanal scenario from CCAW, but there are some bugs in the editor that currently crashes this scenario.
Alex says he's fixed 'my' bugs and I'm waiting for the patch to see if Guadalcanal will run.
