How do I make my own campaign in ET?

(PeteriD) #1

Well, I de-compressed a campaign’s pk3 file, edited the .campaign files, recompressed it into a pk3, keeping everything as it was, but it won’t show up. Can anyone walk me through the steps of editing a campaign?

Try this

  1. Edit your campaign files in the pk3 file (as you have done)
  2. Start the server with the campaigncycle.cfg, that’s the default setting in server.cfg I believe
  3. in campaigncycle.cfg make sure the starting map is the same as specified by you in your campaignfile

MAKE a custom pk3 file

put inside a “some_name.campaign” file (must be inside of scripts folder)

edit some_name.campaign with notepad, and put this (only a example):


{
	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"
}

This is a custom 6map campaign, ;D

then, save the “some_name.campaign” file, and put in the pk3 file, then put the pk3 in the etmain folder

:banana:

Again, didn’t work. I must be doing something wrong. I don’t know what though
