hock: Oh lord, what a jackpot of awesome information. Paul's docs are a great starter but this is the kind of in-depth overview I've been wanting for a long, long time. So hats off to you! I'm cutting and pasting the big segments into a Word doc for later use.
Is there a way to get Canon UK's beta Channel map to DGC?

You have to do everything I have shown in this tutorial for that map.
You need to make or edit these files:
-allcampaigns.dcg
-grandcampaign.dcg
-offmap.dcg
-maps.dcg
-MasterMap.mis
-MapName.rds
-MapName.rls
-MapName.srd
-MapName.prd
I plan on making all new maps into DCG. I am working on it as we speak, but it is kind of a daunting project. Can't really be done overnight. I plan on doing a complete remake of all the stock DCG campaigns and adding all the new maps to them. If you want to go ahead and work on adding it yourself by all means.
But if you don't mind waiting a while, I will have all the new maps in a big download for DCG.
Up to you.
I wait as im new to DGC. Once i tryed running it but i was about 13 then
I will wait patiently for the new Lybia NE map and resultant online campaign to be added......
unless anyone has already done it and would please share their files
PLEASE
Thanks
When The Slot and BoB are working with DCG it will keep this Sim played for ages to come.
Any progress Scharny?
Hopefully you will redo Burma and New Guinea and Singapore while you are at it, they tend to be repetitive in DCG, it doesnt matter how many of the enemy you shoot down the game still tends to follow a script. I had a bit of luck editing Singapore, but for some reason it would crash with an error code cannot find "" when I put bettys into the fight, never did work it out, I just deleted them

Yep, I am redoing ALL of the maps ... which is a daunting task. For the PTO I will be doing:
China:
Manchuria
Khalkin-Gol
Online3
Burma
Singapore
Islands:
Wake
Tarawa
Palau
Marianas
the Slot (3 or 4 maps)
Iwo Jima
Chichi Jima
Formosa
Japan
PacificIsandsOnline
New Guinea
Midway
Sea Battles (Battle of ...):
Coral Sea
Santa Cruz
Eastern Solomons
Philippine Sea
I am also probably going to make some fictional maps, such as Invasion of Japan 1946 as well as an alternate Midway map. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway then I will have a fictional Invasion of Midway Island ... things like that. It will be great when I get it done ... but soooo much work ... uggghhhhh.
This is excellent news to read! I've downloaded the Italy/Greece/North Africa map and am awed at how great it is! I'd really love to have it available in DCG but after reading through this thread I'm wondering how capable I may be at trying to add it in myself... Great tutorial you've written here and it's very much appreciated, Scharnhorst!!!
Hopefully the above map will be part of your release. But if anyone else has any campaign files already made for it...
Keep up the good work!

The Italy / Africa / Greece map absolutely is a part of my release ... but I have a lot of work to do to get there. So bear with me. What I will probably do is release the campaigns in phases. Phase one will be Europe theater ... phase two Pacific theater ... phase three Russian front. Of course I have to include all the new maps in my release in case people do not have it along with any other mods that will be required ...
This will not be done soon, but when it is, oh happy day!

How is this going? When can we expect the first phase?
