Custom Scenerios in Online Campaign ? | Forums

[BM357_TinMan]

I posted this at the Oleg forum and got over 100 views and not one response, so I'll try here.

Forgive me if this has already been asked....

Could you tell me if there is, or will be, some sort of comprehensive instructions on how to insert custom scenarios into the new on-line dynamic campaign generator?

What I mean is, there are four scenarios that come with the AEP. What I am wondering is how to make my own scenario. I'd like to build one around the Finland map using USA v. Luftwaffe type settings. Incorporating the p47/p51/B17/p38 etc. With counterparts on the Luftwaffe side. A sort of mach invasion of Fortress Europa.

I'd also like to create a scenario, using Finland again, and incorporating early spit and hurris against emils and early ju88/87's...kind of a mach BoB

---side note: I want to use Finland because it is the map that would seem to best simulate a section of the channel...

But I have no idea how the "stock" four scenerios were created. If there was or is a set of instructions on how to make these scenerios, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

OK, I saw this today but

dgen thread click here

still don't know what to use to open the files. Tell me it you figure it out, OK?

There is nothing written yet as far as a readme or FAQ that I am aware of for NGEN (the program that handles the dynamic online campaigns). Wait until the patch, then I or someone else will post a FAQ spelling out what every part of the .dat and .DB represents. The reason folks are holding back , is apparently the first patch will be changing a few things in regards to those files.

The short answer: yes you can make custom missions and map templates for RED and BLUE sides. The best thing to do: hold up a little and see whats added in the patch. Also, they plan on adding a few more HOST CHOICE custom campaigns in the patches (last I heard).
In the meantime: study the structure of every file in your NGEN folder, and every results file in your NET/MISSION/NGEN/Customxxxxxxx/ results folder after running a couple missions on your own. (you dont need people to connect if you host a custom campaign, it will still track your flying and kills, etcetera)
