Can't edit Community Pack campaigns

[ctimmerman]

When trying to load the Community Pack campaigns (steam version of game) they all give the error "can't find convoy.txt". But all of them have that file in the right location so what is the problem. Is this a bug in the editor? Is it being worked on? Is there a work around? My intent was to do some editing on the 1938 campaign.

Hi Ctimmerman,

If they work in game and the only issue is with the Editor, then I believe it might be the case that you'll have to move them to your USER folder if you wish to edit them. After that I believe they will work as expected.

Please try making a copy of the ones you wish to edit, both the CGN files and the associated subfolder for the campaign, from the Community Pack folder to your USER folder, which is found typically found here:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns

You should be able to Edit after that with the Editor.

In game you could have the same campaign listed twice, as the game reads from the Community Pack folder as well as the USER folder, but the second one listed should be from the USER folder and the one you edited.

Hope this helps,
Hubert
