Could we finally enable -strat_ed ??

As there don't seem to be many people interested in this, I'll just include some outtakes of code from the BI exe

Code:

cmd line switches:
sw  ne  ae  no_tnl  nm  na  force_default_hz    blank_ui_caches report_missing_images
validate_models 
unit_models 
encrypt 
sound   
animdb  
util    
fpex    
fperr   
fplog   
enable_editor   
disr    
bookmark    Can't have a name longer than 256 characters.   
imperial_campaign   .   
mod 
default_campaign    
multirun    
battle  
strat   
battle_ed     -battle_ed:Trebia
sprite_script   
show_err    
no_exit_error   
capture_video   
capture_audio   
movie_cam   
fbc 
enter_battles   
ai  
unlock_campaign 
output_con_cmds ;documentation/console_commands.txt  
sp  
engine  
custom  
engine_shadow   
rtm 
strat_ed  ??-strat_ed:campaign??  
all 
playable    
faction on  info    
speed   save    
daytime 

And some campaign options:
Rome    BI  Unknown 
defeat_text_bi_style    
ancillary_ui_bi_style   
defeat_movie_bi_style   
prebattle_night_battle_tickbox  
ai_can_win_campaign 
strip_unit_ability_text

Most of those haven't been tested and their effects are unknown.
Hopefully, someone who is interested in this will give it a shot at testing them?

Gotthard over at twcenter was looking into it, and the -strad_ed makes references to files and folders that don't exist in retail release meaning it won't work unless you can recreate the files/folders.

However should you copy the Imperial Campaign into the afrorementioned directory it would work and you could then move the modded version?

That didn't work the first time I tried it. I think it's disabled in the public release and one would need a dev version of the executable to make it work.

Oh right. CA? This isn't the only thread on the subject, HELP US!

As far as I remember CA's official line on this was it was something they started at the beginning of the project (along with 3d movement of flying units and some other things) and stopped half way through because they realised it had no real use and they should get on with making the awesome game. I believe the required files and entries in the RTW.exe aren't finished and are proberably disabled.
