Community Scenario Pack (Updated December 19, 2024)

Hi
Latest CWDB Build is version 278, any reason why scenarios have been back dated to older versions ?

My guess is they where already using an older version and because of the SBR batch routine .ini formatting they didn't get updated. Nothing was back dated. From previous experiments the SBR batch routine will only upgrade DBs not downgrade them.

Hi Thanks for the reply [:)]

Thanks for your work Kushan on keeping this collection updated on Steam. Very helpful!

[Kushan04]

The Community Scenario Pack has been updated to version 44! This update includes 22 new scenarios and 9 updated scenarios! Please see the first post for links.

As always, Thank you to all the scenario designers who contributed!

Hi all, what's happened with the Community Scenario Pack? Has it been superseded by Steam now?

[rixtertech]

Frankly if I could take them all down and have Steam users use the normal version of the CSP it would be a lot less of a headache.

@Kushan04, this is an interesting comment. Are you saying that we -can- simply download the standalone CSP and extract it into the Steam-install scenario directory? This would be ideal if it will work. I'd love to have all the scens working with the new DB's. Has anyone tried this succesfully or does Steam have a canary when it sees the alien content?

I did it. I extracted the files to a community folder I created. All the scenarios run fine.

Yes, that's how I have the CSP installed into my Steam directory. I'm not subbed to any of the CSP scenarios on Steam itself. Just unzip the standalone zip into a subfolder in your Steam scenarios folder. I've never had Steam mess with it.

No. The official pack is still the standalone version. For the moment, the Steam version of the CSP only gets the new scenarios but not any scenarios that are updated to new databases.

Installing the CSP into my steam scn directory worked nicely... you may want to change the line in your top post that states "Sorry Steam users but you only get the new scenarios and the 9 updated scenarios updated to the latest DBs" into a hopefully clearer statement such as...

"Steam users can ensure that all of their CSP scenarios use the latest DB's by downloading the standalone CSP and extracting into their Steam client CMO scenario directory. The zip extraction will create a folder named 'Community' or you can use a new folder name of your choice. You will also want to extract the contents of the 'Lua' folder into your 'Lua' directory in the steam install. Do not just overwrite the Lua directory, as it may already contain other files."

Some big changes to CSP 45 in regards to Steam. One of the other devs has given me a utility that can either update multiple scenarios at the same time OR (in my personal opinion the most exciting part) upload multiple scenarios as a single entity download. What I'll be doing for CSP 45, is removing all of the individual scenarios from Steam, and converting them to the single download.

I'll be updating that single entity going forward. Once you subscribe to it, that should be it. There will no longer be the need to go and subscribe to each individual CSP scenario in the collection when I update the pack, plus you'll get all the scenario updates. Another major advantage of this is you will get all the scenario documents and attachments. Although because its Steam, they will get placed in your Steam workshop folder and not the Command installation folder.

Currently aiming to release CSP 45 the first week of November.

Excellent! Thanks for the update Kushan.

Even though I am a Steam User, I actually prefer to download the CSP and install it directly from the CMO Website, but it's good that the Workshop subscribers are getting some support.
