Download instructions - campaigns and scenarios

Need some assistance downloading new Abbatior campaign. After attempting to download it is not appearing in the Campaign list. Obviously doing something wrong (as usual). Appreciate someone taking time to provide simple download/unzip instructions from the top. Thanks much....

You'll need to DL the zip file, then extract all the files inside to your WinSPMBT\Campaigns folder. It should appear then. What have you done so far? Do you have the zip file on your HD?

Thanks for response. Here is the sequence I was following:
Selected the download icon and direct download to "open" rather than "save" and directed files to spmbt folder.

Next attempt to unzip and see several files in Winzip window. I select all the files and then extract to spmbt.

Checked Campaings and Scenarios within SPMBT and they are not there, however when I go to My Computer and then to C drive and on to SPMBT I see the files scattered about below all of the normal file folder within SPMBT such as Data, Scen, etc.

I guess that when I unzip I should direct them to some other location. Right? Tnx Bob

I would DL the file and save it to your HD in the WinSPMBT\Campaigns folder. THEN extra ALL the files into that same folder. If you are using WinZip to unpack the files make sure you do not have the "Use Folder Names" box checked in the lower left corner. This should dump all the files into the Campaign folder.

Just checked the SPMBT folder and the only place I can find any Campaign information is in the SCEN folder so assume that the Campaigns are also loaded into the SPMBT/SCEN folder?? Also, if you would like to e-mail off line we can do so. Bob

What version SPMBT are you using?

V2.5 have CD and downloaded the patch.

Do you see the "Campaigns" folder in the WinSPMBT folder? That is where ALL the file in the zip need to go.

That is curious as mentioned have CD and I don't have a "WinSPMBT" folder only SPMBT. That might be the problem??

I think I see what might have happened to WinSPMBT ... when upgraded to CD and also the patch that I loaded them directly into the old SPMBT folder. I found the WinSPMBT.exe file at the end of the list of files in the SPMBT folder. I am thinking I should reinstall the CD into a new WinSPMBT folder and also upgrade to that folder and assume that the Campaign folder is going to be included. I'll give it a try unless you advise otherwise. Tnx for your assistance.
