Looking for campaign testers

Yeah, I rename all the files (at least I'm pretty sure I did.) I played the first two scenarios (the stub first one, and the attack on the airport.) I saved the game after the second one, and when I went to reload it, it took me to one of the Carribean Crisis scenarios, but with my UN core.

Hmm...sounds like you might have missed one. Or gotten two mixed up.

There may be a code issue as well...I wonder if the master campaign data file recognizes the renaming, or does it still try to locate the old file name?

I may have to reset the campaign to an unused slot.

I was wondering the same thing. I'll send you the files I used, so you can check it out. What was weird is that it played the first two battles fine, it was the transition to the 3rd one where I saw the date 1962 and realized that something was amiss. The Cuban flags on the map were the next clue *grin*

Ok, Nick.

BTW, I got an Anti-Virus message concerning an email you sent to me. It said there was an infected file attached and that the message had been deleted. The AV software the Depot uses on its email accounts (spwaw.com) is pretty agressive on attachments; make sure the files are ZIPped or achived in some fashion (I use WinRAR myself).

Flash,

Same thing happened to me. I went through every file and renamed them to camp 44 BEFORE moving them to the campaign folder.

If I have time, I will go back in and re-arrange again.

I tought a campaign cannot be renamed to use a different slot. The whole campaign should be redone in the ingame campaign editor. I tried to rename some campaigns back in the DOS version and they did not work anymore.

Do you know this for certain? I am used to dealing with the SPWAW game, where you can rename the campaign files and it all works fine. If it doesn't in WinSPMBT, then I'll have to go "move" everything to another slot.

And if that's the case, is there any way of knowing which slots aren't/haven't been used by other campaigns out there? I'd hate to move this and have it still conflict with some other campaign...
