Attach read me

[rmelvin]

How does someone attach to the help screen, the strategic guide screen the read me file to a design game?

The readme alone cannot be added there I'm afraid, but you could always create your own Strategy Guide with it in, it just needs to be saved as pdf and then placed within a Manuals sub-folder within the mods own folder structure.

Can y'all help an old man here, now does one make one of those strategic guides? Also, what folder are y'all telling about?

Do I put all another files and folders not in campaign folder into the campaign folder and what name do I use? I only have in the campaign folder my Robert 1939 game.

I am just a very old code writing, so need help with this new fango stuff that staff use to do.

1) Your modded campaign files can typically be found here:

C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns

Where [USER] is your user name on your PC.

2) You can create a folder called Manuals within your mod's folder that can be found there.

If you place a pdf file in there with your campaign name and Strategy Guide in the name, then it should be accessible in game when playing the campaign.

Though it's not essential to have all documents accessible in game, and generally people place readme files within the campaign's main folder, so that those who go looking will find the information they seek there.

This operator cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
In:
My Games > Strategic Command WII - War in Europe
My Games > Strategic Command WII - War in Europe > Mods
My Games > Strategic Command WII - War in Europe > Mods > Manuals
I place Robert 1939 Storm Over Europe Strategy Guide.pdf

I even click on Mods in the Design, and click on Manual, and still not worked.
The reason is the manual has in games, dates and places for some events to help the player.

Hi,

Place your strategy guide, here:

\Users\[USER]\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns\Robert 1939 Storm over Europe\Manuals

e.g. it would be placed in a 'Manuals' subfolder of your 'Robert 1939 Storm over Europe' campaign folder. You will have to create this subfolder and name it 'Manuals'.

Note, the strategy guide would have to be named 'Strategy Guide.pdf' for it to work.

Hope this helps,
Hubert

Thanks, it works. About ready to send my game for testing. Do y'all wish to have some save games to review my game?
I think about mid next week after testing USA invasions.
I need to figure out a better way of testing. I start the game over and over try to get to the end. I need to figure out how to make fixing and restart in the middle of the game. If this is in the manual I missed it, do to I am autistic even though I am Mensa level, I can barely read. Yes, I am 72 in years.

Yes, perhaps start a new thread when you do and post the details of your mod and I'm sure we'll all like to take a look.

I'm not sure save files can be posted here, but if you can add any screenshots that would definitely help.
