Provincal Campaign description
This one has been a real noodle scratcher for me. I'm nearing the end of my long journey of making my Crusades mod. I'm currently writing up all the descriptions for units, factions and campaigns. Well units and factions I know where to look. However I can't find anywhere to write the campaign discriptions for my two provincal campaigns. Interesting enough I can edit the titles of the campaign in the campaign_description.txt using
{campaign_title}
however I cannot write any description for it there. I assumed the tag {campaign_descr} would do the trick but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. Does anyone know where I can. Description.txt in the campaign forlder does absolute nothing. So I am 100% stumped.
Re: Provincal Campaign description
I found that if I created a folder named "custom" in the campaign folder and put my provincial campaign folders in it, that the campaign description in custom\my_provincial_campaign\description.txt gets picked up.
So:
Code:
Data
world
maps
campaign
imperial_campaign
custom
my_provincial_campaign
There is one small ugly thing remaining for me: The text for the campaign title in the "Campaign Description" box on the right is taken directly from descr_strat.txt in the my_provincial_campaign folder. This is probably OK if your provincial campaign has a one-word title, but if your title is "my provincial campaign" it will ignore everything after the first space. So you're stuck with "my_provincial_campaign". Note that the campaign title in the "Select Campaign" box on the left is OK: it's taken from text\campaign_descriptions.txt.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I would never have thought of trying that. The descriptions work, which is a relief considering the amount of time I spent on them.
