I remember reading about Vic making a very user friendly editor. I was under the impression it was coming with Barbarossa. Anyone hear about this? I also wonder if it could be used to mod Barbarossa - that way it would make it easier to fix certain OOBs some are complaining about.

i believe he was shooting for release in about 2 weeks.

About the Community Project BETA. Its an extra from VR Designs.

It should be made available in 1-2 weeks (or close to it) to all DC:Barbarossa owners. I just want to deal with the initial release of Barbarossa first.

You can already see the initial docs over here:

here's what Vic has wrote on the subject so far

Well if you look at the editors for Barbarossa you'll see theyre much more friendly than the original editor in the first two DC games, although it(the full editor) is included.
I also lobbied (unsuccessfully) to have him retrofit the new editors onto Case Blue and Warsaw to Paris. But I understand it doesnt make sense financially.

What Barbarossa editor are you referring to? Is there one we can access now? Also, will the Community editor allow us to mod Barbarossa and the other two games?

Vic will have to answer this question in due time.. [;)]

Decisive Campaigns : Community Project (BETA) is a seperate game that you'll get access to for free as a Barbarossa owner only for the moment.

The thing is that the whole new simple/intermediate editor system has been created with the Community Project in mind.

A project that got started just by me at the same time Cameron was working on Barbarossa.

These new editors can only be put to their full use if everything is designed with this modular approach in mind.
Thats what I did for the default ruleset, libraries and examples for the ComProj.

I strongly recommend any-one wanting to do scenario design to wait for the ComProj and only consider Barbarossa for 'modding'.
I am sure Cameron will be able to give some pointers what would be moddable and what will most likely be to difficult for modders to alter.
