Adding Missions to the Campaign
From Original War Support Wiki
Tutorials -> Adding Missions to the Campaign
Info
Each side has a missions.dat file which contains a list of the missions in the campaign (note: you are limited to 30 missions). It defines which mission comes after which. Missions.dat is located in %MODDIR%\Campaigns\%SIDE%\ (where %SIDE% is Am, Ar or Ru).
Key
MAP is the actual name of the folder containing the map (excluding the extention
which is %MODDIR%\Missions\%SIDE%\)
NAME is the name to display on the campaign screen
SUBCAMP ranges from 1 to 5, controls the image at the right on the victory
screen(%MOD%\Interface\%SIDE%\Debriefing\deb%NO%.tga , where %NO%
is the number)
PREV is the previous mission number
NEXT is the next mission number
NEXTQ defines which missions the player will be taken to depending on what
choice that they make in the question video (i.e if they join the alliance)
NEXTM defines what mission the player will be taken to depending on what input function
SetNextMission is given
FINISH means the campaign is finished once that mission is over
VIDEO 1 means that there will be a video, changing it to 0 means there won't be
a video. Default is 0
VIDEONAME is the name of the video to load (from %MOD%\Videos\ directory).
VIDEO 1 is needed to show the videos (including the hardcoded Altar Interactive ones. Note that the VIDEONAME will override Altar's videos).
