Turning scenarios into campaigns?

[brdrumz]

I've not even attempted to try creating my own scenario yet.
But if I do....can someone advise if it's simple enough to turn a group of scenarios into a full campaign?

Like I said, I've not tried the scenario editor, but I was curious if it gives you the options to link stuff together in a campaign mode, or do you need other files/programs to do that?
I'm a newbie to this stuff and just want to try creating some "fantasy scenarios" and turn it into a FANTASY campaign. (Using VANILLA PzC files and equip.)
I want to work with the base game, before attempting to alter any files.

Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Bob

I began with making a few standalone scenarios and play them. Then i tried to figure out how to link them in a campaign. It is a file in the data folder named campaign.pzdat. There you can see how for example the scenarios for the vanilla campaign are linked together. You can also use GTPG v1.06 and check the campaign.pzdat as well. Then you have at least two examples.
It is a pitty that the scenario editor doesn't allow to create a campaign with a few clicks.

I wrote a simple tutorial how to create a map: viewtopic.php?f=147&t=32170
El Condoro wrote a very good tutorial how to create a custom scenario: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16283408/Panzer ... narios.pdf

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Lot of the fellows here will gladly help you out.

IIRC MGarnett's units editor also alllows to edit a campaign, though I never tried it, so can't say how it works. PzC's built-in editor is more for maps and scenarios though, to my knowledge not for campaign editing. But you can link scns to a campaign simply by using a text editor editing the campaign file nikivdd mentioned. IMO it is not difficult to do and you can always ask here if a prob arises...

For a campaign you also need text briefings etc. too, which are not needed for stand-alone scns. But this is simple too.
