Campaign.txt

Does it only control "the Longest Day" GC? Or can I have separate/multiple campaign.txt files for other GCs?

Campaig.txt is used for all campaigns/operations....

you can create your own and enable it with the /D switch see the Locked Bg's campaign available here:

Heres a couple ideas for Campaign.txt.

Make it so that when you create a GC, the game takes the input from campaign.txt and inputs it into the save file. Having the campaigns always read the one file makes for a bunch of unneccesary steps.

You can make custom GCs without having to make a "mod" of it and use the /D switch. All you'd have to do is modify your campaign.txt to what you want, and make the GC, and its done.

The other idea is to make a separate campaign.txt file for each GC. You'd then be able to go in after the GC has been played through and edit more settings. Also removes the need to ``mod`` in a GC.

The advantage of the current system is that your save games are storred in the 'mod' directory. At least IMO

I dont think its an advantage. Its the ONLY WAY to use the specific campaign.txt functions for separate GCs.

I mean.. lets make things as easy as possible here. I am sure many people dont want to edit the campaign.txt file to begin with. Then do the whole /D thing with making folders, maybe using the app you made and finally revert your main campign.txt file back to its original state. Honestly its pretty complicated.

It wouldn't be to complicated if you would have a starting tool which would let you create a new 'mod' or choose an existing one and in case you make a new 'mod' ask if you want to copy existing stuff like campaign.txt from the base installation.

But yes, making things easier should be the main goal [:)]
