How to Special Events?

Post by Shireshio »

Hello,

I was wondering in the Campaign Editor, under the Special Event creation and Historical Event Creation, how exactly you insert an image in there? I have put my desired image in multiple data folders of the game, and specified that image name, all to no avail.

So could you help me out:

1) Where do you save images you want into the special event?(What folder?)
2) How do you link the image?
3) How does the game's engine locate the image?
4) How do you create a campaign?(If it's associated with the image)

Thank you again!

1) The image has to be saved into the scenario folder (my docs/my games/order of battle - pacific/scenarios/<your scenario>). PNG file format.
2) In the event popup trigger effect, the 2nd editable field is the name of the image MINUS the file extension (.png)

4) Have a look at the .cmp files in the official campaign folders. These are editable with any text editor. We are working on a proper in-game campaign editor, but no ETA on that yet.
