Er - do you mean:

a) to cycle the 6 maps twice over?
b) create 12 maps and create 1 campain

Well anyway - the answer is the same - you may have seen some servers running the 6 map campain - its a script located in the scripts folder that you put into a .pk3 file

this is a “complete” map campain:

{
	name			"Complete"
	shortname		"cmpgn_complete"
	description		"1948. The Axis High Command has ordered a strategic withdrawal from the 'remote and ultimately insignificant' North African theatre and their forces are busy fortifying the Atlantic coastline in expectation of Allied raids and an eventual invasion.**The Allies have much work to do before they can hope to mount a successful invasion attempt and must gain expertise in both beach and parachute landings. Clearly, the next phase of conflict will be critical."
	maps			"battery;goldrush;radar;railgun;fueldump;oasis"
	mapTC			374 374
	type			"wolfmp"
}

(chavo_one) #4

winzip works.

pk3 files are exactly like zip files, they just have a different extension.

i prefer winrar

TBH a search on google would have gotten the answer too - but hey

Pakscape is another option.

So whats next?

I have a .pk3 file that has that info…

Do I create a .cfg file for it?

I am a n00b to custom .pk3 files but I thought once you put them in the etmain folder thats it… Am I missing something?

make a pk3 file. in that, put your .campaign file in a folder called scripts inside that pk3. then place it in etmain. you’re done.

If you play a 6-map campain server (there are a few about)

you will automatically download one of these .pk3 files - I have 3 of them all with the same contents.

1 pk3 file containg 1 folder named scripts which in turn has 1 file called complete_campain.campain

So take a gander at them and modify it to suit your needs.

I have d/l one of these file and opened it, I see the exact cmds listed in here BUT I put this PK3 file in my etmain and it still doesn’t work??? Do I need a .cfg file for it? If so what should be in there?

I tried using the .cfg file for campaign as a guide but my server still showed 1 3 in the campaign… Unless it is suppose to show this but the XP still carries over? I would think it would show 1 6…

One small point is.

If the start map you choose is one of the standard campaign start maps then it will play that campaign first. When you have played through one standard campaign it will then use your custom campaign.

i.e. if you have set g_gametype 4 ; map radar in your server config then it will start the european campaign.
