Campaign Editor

**Dragon2003** · 09-15-2003, 18:19

My Program 'Campaign Editor' (CampEd for short) is close to it's first release. Not all the features are completed yet but in version 1.1 i hope to include everything that i want in the program.

I urgently need a BIF editor, but i cannot download from 3ddownloads.com I get to 5 in the queue then i am forced to 60 again
Could someone email the BIF editor to molem001@medway.org.uk

What the program helps people do, is create a full campaign (the type of campaign that goes in the campmap\startpos folder for you experts) and to try and minimize as many of the crashes that happen as possible.

Normally when i make a campaign, MTW crashes and i find out after hours of debugging later that i made one tiny spelling mistake on Egyptian

This program will also help new people to modding as all they need is to be able to type and click boxes, etc.

If you want to go onto advanced modding, you could always edit the borders and region settings instead of using the default ones.

I hope this program will help everyone (New people and Experts) in modding and i hope it will encourage more and more people to modding M:TW.

Here are some screenshots in Visual Basic 6.0:

Thanks How do i edit my posts, as i kinda think links to the pics would be better

**Al Shama'ar** · 09-15-2003, 18:54

on the top right of your post, there should appear a DELETE EDIT QUOTE line.

if it doesn't it may be due to your junior patron status. if it does just click on EDIT and u'll be able to modify your post.

As once Gregoshi (moderator) put it: When in doubt ask a moderator

cheers

Greetings Dragon, looks promising, I also sent you bif editors 2 that I had see which one suits you best, I hope that helps, looking forward to trying your program LOS

**Dragon2003** · 09-15-2003, 19:01

Yeah all it says is Quote, Al Shama'ar

Anyway, i can email the demo to anyone who posts their email address here

The demo goes up to the Set Region Owners as i wanted to put the map there, which is why i needed the bif editor

So just slap your email here and i'll send you the demo.

If anyone has any requests or would like to completely complain about the program just post here

**Lord Of Storms** · 09-15-2003, 19:02

ronin27k@aol.com Thanks Dragon 2003, LOS P.S. The edit posts feature is for Junior Members and above

**Lord Of Storms** · 09-15-2003, 19:24

Thnaks for the demo, short and sweet, very nice interface, this will make 1 click modding very easy for begginners and speed things up for the experienced, I like what I see so far, and hope you can include a version for VI2.0 keep up the good work, I was able to navigate to the set region owner in less than 5 minutes setting up all the pertinent info along the way very nice, cant wait to see the finished product. LOS

**Dragon2003** · 09-15-2003, 19:39

Thanks, I do not have Vikings Invasion yet, but i am definitely going to get it

Maybe when the price drops down on the internet or when my dad is feeling less stingy then usual i will nag him to buy it for me

Since i have Shogun (and am ordering Warlords) i will see what i can do about a STW CampEd.

**Russ Mitchell** · 09-15-2003, 20:35

Excellent... if it turns out to be user-friendly enough for pseudo-luddites like myself, it would allow for the possibility of adding in campaigns for the Hussite revolts...

When the VI added the magyars, did they include the Nicopolis campaign?

**Dragon2003** · 09-15-2003, 21:14

Yes, i am trying to make it as user-friendly as possible

Find a guide which will tell you how to edit a facion name and with this you should be able to make a decent mod

**hellenes** · 09-15-2003, 22:00

arxidamos2003@yahoo.gr wow... the only thing i can say is that the endless debuging and search for mistakes maby approaches to an end....

Here is my email: xRevenant69x@hotmail.com

**Swamp Thing** · 09-16-2003, 18:03

*Fights back electronic orgasm*

Must.............download...........program

**Dragon2003** · 09-16-2003, 18:18

Well, SeljukSinan, you cannot download it yet, and i'm sorry guys, it doesn't look like it will be released today, but you never know

Thanks for your enthusiasm Swamp Thing

and Hellenes, what error do you get? If any?

I think i know what might be wrong but i need to know what the error says.

**hellenes** · 09-16-2003, 18:30

it sais: windows cannot open this file

File: CampEdDemo

To open this file the windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of
programs on your computer.

What do youwant to do?

- Use the web service to find the appropriate programm

- Select the program from a list

And in the properties of the filie it sais type of the programm: file

**Dragon2003** · 09-16-2003, 18:33

Can you run other files? Like Minesweeper or solitaire?
What version of windows do you have? 98? ME? XP?

If windows needs to know, then i created it in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. But i don't think that will help.

If you can run minesweeper then try reinstalling windows, i think this will solve your problem.

**hellenes** · 09-16-2003, 19:09

Im on xp home but the site that the windows are looking for a match to open unknown files couldt recognise it. I just hope that the final version will work for me

**Dragon2003** · 09-16-2003, 19:43

Could you run minesweeper? as thats important.

Also could you post a screenshot of exactly what the error is. I am on windows ME and i haven't heard that error before. But i think that i have a good idea to whats wrong.

The key thing is if minesweeper or solitaire works

**GilJaysmith** · 09-16-2003, 19:58

I'd like to see it... giljaysmith@hotmail.com

Ta...

Gil not CA

**GilJaysmith** · 09-16-2003, 19:59

(Apparently I'd like to see it a lot ;-) ... duplicate post removed.)

**hellenes** · 09-16-2003, 20:12

Hi jil

(Dragon you should exchange the editor to a beta demo of RTW otherwise dont give it to him

) minsweepwer works solitare works and the message is just atypical one when you dont have the appropriate programme to open a file... maby there is a problem when the file was sent?

still im hoping for the final version
