Custom campaign

Feeling a little silly here but I cant quite figure out how to name my custom campaign or scenarios...

I used the editor and made a copy of the Italian campaign, which I named in both boxes alt_italian. It does show up in mygames/slitheirne...Campaigns as alt_italien.... However, when I then launch the game, whats displayed are the three official campaigns and with a second Italian campaign indistinguishable from the official one...

Second question:
I made a quick scenario called "test" in my alt_italien campaign. It appears you need to add the name to the campaign.text file, ie [test] in order for it to display. Is this documented anywhere?
I had to cycle thru the official scenarios to find it, but it only showed the blank map, nothing to indicate this was indeed the "test" scenario...

What am I missing that is probably so obvious I should slap myself?

In your custom campaign folder, open text1.txt. The item highlighted below will define the campaign name in the historical scenario screen.

IDS_ARMY_SJ_TAKEDA_SHINGEN, "Takeda Shingen 1560-1600",
IDS_ARMY_SJ_UESUGI_KENSHIN, "Uesugi Kenshin 1560-1600",
IDS_CAMPAIGN_NAME,"Sengoku Jidai",
IDS_CAMPAIGN_TEXT,"Japan 1560~~Blah.~~Blah.~~BLAH.",

Here's the documentation.
