How to playtest campaing second or third mission?

Post by Merkkari »

This
In carryover campaing I need to WIN first mission to get a second mission. And so forth.
Not best way to get to test those maps, and it just kills the point if I make second as first mission. Time consuming hassle editing back and worth already arranged made stuff.
I was making a campaing of 3 or maybe 4 missions. And now this came up for me.
Is there easier way?

Copy campaign (example):
_\Warhammer 40000 Sanctus Reach\Campaigns\HOUROFTHEWOLF

Paste:
_\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\HOUROFTHEWOLF

Rename:
_\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\HOUROFTHEWOLF2

Edit:
_\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\HOUROFTHEWOLF2\TEXT1.TXT
original:
IDS_CAMPAIGN_NAME,"HOUR OF THE WOLF",
to:
IDS_CAMPAIGN_NAME,"HOUR OF THE WOLF2",

Edit:
_\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\HOUROFTHEWOLF2\CAMPAIGN.TXT
Delete:
CARRYOVER


Delete:
_\SANCTUS\CAMPAIGNS\HOUROFTHEWOLF2\Data\
"Data" folder & all contents

You should have HOUROFTHEWOLF2 listed on the campaign menu. There is no map, scenarios can be toggled between and selected. I doubt XP would be saved. I only loaded one scenario, they all should work.

Awesome! Good to know.

Actually i realized roundabout way for my problem.
-Making backup save of the first campaign mission
-Start working second map but under first campaign mission name.
-Testing abled as first mission.
-After second map is completed, reshuffle the maps editor save scenario names in right order. Later delete old un-needed save files in file folder.

Why not just put some temp UI buttons on your UI to go straight to a mission?
