Having a problem with the EAW campaigns for OP. HELP!
« on: November 30, 2003, 02:35:06 am »
I copy/pasted all the files into the scripts folder, but when I load the game and click on the campaign option, the game crashes. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Let's see... there should now be a large number of files with the .scr extension under scripts. Along with a campaign folder with some files with the .mct extension. Those, of course, name the scripts for the campaign to be played. Other then that... are you playing with a compatable shiplist in the MetaAssets folder? The instructions for installation are pretty straight forward so perhaps reviewing them can uncover the error. Hope you can get it going as it is worth the trouble.

Tried erasing your old saved games?
Go to "MetaAssets/db/" and delete everything from under there.


Glad to see people still playing the ported campaigns.
I'll have to do them again myself once enough's been added to OP+'s next rev.

Ok......
Got that problem fixed. But now I have another one. I can start a campaign, but no matter how many hexes i move through, I am not given any missons. I encountered this problem playing the Fed Vs. ISC campaign. I moved through 54 hexes without getting a mission. The campaigns that came stock with the game still work fine however, as I was immediately given a mission in conquest campaign.

Any ideas????????

sounds to me like the missions in the campaign files (.MCTs) can't be found .. ..
.. well.. why don't you do a check-up on the files in assets/scripts/campaigns? One of them is the campaign you're currently playing .. open it up in notepad, and you'll see what I mean.

A new version of OP+ sounds great to me!  I eagerly look forward to it.  This scripting information helps because I am not used to doing that myself.  Only started doing those kind of modifcations recently any tips or adivce or instruction would be of enormous assistance.

The only thing I can think of is that there was something up with one of the patches...

It took me a complete delete / reinstall / fresh patch to 2.5.5.12 to get the game to recognize the campaigns...
