I am having troble with two things (though I am sure there will be more) in the editor

1. How do you add the theatre map - every post seems to blow this off as easy - I found a way using photoshop but it is rather labor intensive - I can't find any resources for this but can't help but feeling that I am missing something easy

2. How do you add the objectices maps - every post seems to blow this off as easy - I found a way using photoshop but it is rather labor intensive - I can't find any resources for this

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks for any help

I think that you are stuck with the labour intensive approach. I don't believe there is a simple way to generate the mini-maps. But I commend you for wanting to create additional scenarios, be interested in playing them when they are finished.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply - at least I know there is no easier way

I don't know if this will go anywhere or not as far as making new scenarios

I have CCAW and really enjoy some of the scenarios that did not make into CAW

I have just started with the Warroom - basically want to see if I can handle the logic and how time consuming it is

The other thing holding me back some is I am just not sure where to obtain British, Dutch, Italian, etc graphics for ships and planes

If I get anywhere I will post the results here

Again thanks for the help

Finished first attempt at a scenario - picked a simple from old CAW and ported it over to the new CAW - chose one where the map alreadfy existed in CAW as did most of the ships and all the planes

Was basicaly just a process of cleaning up - 90% of the material came over from the old scenarios including the warroom - there were a lot of mistakes which needed fixed - most of the mistakes were minor

If anybody attempts this the two biggest things in the warroom were
1) how crippled ships are now handled
2) there is a flaw in the transfer routines - all of the "and" statements were changed to "or" - showed up in the task force effectiveness warcards (and probably others)

If any one is interested PM me - I don't know how to host or I would - all you need is three files Guadalcanal.caw, Guadalcanal.srf. and Momi.srf (the only ship that needed to be created)
