DCG: An idiot's Guide
#39

Lastly there is the grandcampaign.dcg file. This file tells what order the maps are to be played. So if you are doing a Europe campaign, you would make the following maps:

France40
Dunkirque40
Britain40
Norway41
MediteraneanIslands41
Tunesia41
Lybia41
Egypt41
EnglishChannel42
Egypt42
Lybia42
Tunesia42
MediteraneanIslands42
Napoli43
Italy43
Normandy44
Ardennes44
NWEurope44
Berlin45

In the full mission builder you will have already made all of the above maps, with .rds, .rls, .srd and .prd files accordingly. I HIGHLY suggest makeing the allcampaigns.dcg file FIRST, because you will copy and paste most of the information from that file into the grandcampaign.dcg file. The only real difference is the header of the maps. In the header, you are going to say, "previous map to next map, which side wins." so using the above list of maps, you would need to make this in notepad:

[France40 to Dunkirque40] Blue

[Dunkirque40 to Britain40] Blue

[Britain40 to Norway40] Blue

..... (you get the idea) 8)

Now once you have got a header for all your maps, you simply copy every thing but the header from the all campaign file and paste it below the header in the grand campaign file. So in your allcampaign.dcg file, you need to copy what I have bolded:

[Dunkirque]
Campaign=Europe_Campaign
Map=Dunkirque
Date=05/01/1940
Attacker=Blue
Front=Town_Factory_District
DeHome=Argentan_Factory_District
RuHome=Le_Havre_Shipyard
DeBase=Argentan_Airfield
RuBase=Saint-Paul_Airfield
Locale1=Argentan_Factory_District
Locale2=Argentan_Airfield
Locale3=L'Aigle_Depot
Locale4=Ecouche_Depot
Locale5=Avranches_Depot


And paste it under your header so it looks like this:

[France to Dunkirque] Blue
Campaign=Europe_Campaign
Map=Dunkirque
Date=05/01/1940
Attacker=Blue
Front=Town_Factory_District
DeHome=Argentan_Factory_District
RuHome=Le_Havre_Shipyard
DeBase=Argentan_Airfield
RuBase=Saint-Paul_Airfield
Locale1=Argentan_Factory_District
Locale2=Argentan_Airfield
Locale3=L'Aigle_Depot
Locale4=Ecouche_Depot
Locale5=Avranches_Depot

[Dunkirque to Britain] Blue
Campaign=Europe_Campaign
Map=Britain
Date=07/01/1940
Attacker=Blue
Front=English_Channel_
DeHome=Tallin_Shipyard
RuHome=Helsinki_Factory
DeBase=Tallin_Airfield
RuBase=Malmi_Airfield
Locale1=Tallin_Shipyard
Locale2=Tallin_Airfield
Locale3=Rakvere_Airfield
Locale4=Iyhvi-ahtme_Airfield
Locale5=Lavansaari_Airstrip
Locale6=Seskar_Airstrip
Locale7=Krasnaia-Gorka_Airstrip
Locale8=Borki_Airstrip
Locale9=Location_2
Locale10=Location_1
Locale11=Island_1
Locale12=Island_2


Please note that in the header, it says, [France to Dunkirque], but in the block of data the map to load says =Dunkirque. You need to copy and paste the allcampaign data from the *SECOND* map in your [France to Dunkirque] Block to paste underneath it.

Are there any questions?
