A lot of campaign questions

[Rob 1]

<span style='color:green'>When someone has finished their campaign do it just go in to the SP option or do we have the power to add it in the campaign option?

is it possible to have music playing when opening windows or briefings comence?

is it possible to somehow use the games menu and make an option appear? so to say adding a seperate area for campaigns?

Red Hammer obviously somehow used a different area all together to put it on CD. i neva got it so i dont know whats it looks like.</span>

basically is there anyway of recreating the game in any way for your campaign?

I have alot of atmosperic music that would go really well with the game if there is anyway too add in game music to the main menu.

A separate area? There is the "Campaign Game" option, that's not good enough for you?

1: Just set up your campaign folder and stuff it to .PBO, then dump it into your campaign folder in your OFP directory.

2: No. Music that will be playing in the background will be from the Default island's .PBO. i.e what ever island is selected that's the intro you get on the main menu screen.

3: When you put th campaign.pbo file into the campaign folder it will automatically appear in the campaign option in the main menu in game.

ok thx MP, but about the music. you must of mis understood me.

is it possible to add it to the game somehow so that when you log onto the games main menu or the campaign menu it plays?

That my friend is all down to editing the island's .pbo file. The music that play's on the menu screen I'd say is located in the .cpp file of the island. This would need a bit of editing to play whatever you want it to play. This means that you would have to supply a version of the island's to the public with your music in it. I think it's too much trouble.

I don't think getting music to play while the briefing is on screen is possible because no script's are running and no trigger's activate untill the AI becomes active (when you press start) so there isint realy a way to get the music to play. It is a nice idea though .

I read that someone using the new "desert everon/malden", or what ever it is, patch was playing the mission he created in the mission editor in the menu, so maybe there is a way. Don't ask me how though.

Maybe bis will help you. From the interview I read they are interested in this becoming largely a community thing, so maybe they will let this types of tips and stuff out if we just ask them directly.
