mathiasstahle 59 Posted October 8, 2022 How do I upload a campaign to Steam these days? Short story: I 've just finished building a new single player campaign with a working file structure. As long as it's in uncompressed format (still in it's yellow folders) everything works when I place it in the campaign folder. I can also pack it, upload it to Steam and subscribe to it without any error messages. But the published campaign doesn't show up in the campaign-folder once I subscribe to it. It only appears as individual non-connected missions in the mp setup section. What am I doing wrong here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4826 Posted October 8, 2022 Did you follow these 2 pages? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgMissions https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Export#Addon_Format Addon format (i.e. config.cpp instead of description.ext) should work.

I tried, but probably got something wrong. I'm not familiar with the config.cpp part, but will have a look at it soon. Is that supposed to replace the campaign specific description.ext in the campaigns root folder? Or does it need both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mathiasstahle 59 Posted October 8, 2022 For example. class Campaigns { class Bootcamp { directory = "A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign"; filterGroup = 3; // Only bootcamp campaign will be listed in Campaign dialogue invoked by Bootcamp button. // include the campaign description.ext to make its content re-usable outside of the campaign #include "\A3\Missions_F_Bootcamp\Campaign\description.ext" }; }; Where is this part supposed to go? Is this the config document? Intended for the addon folder? Instructions on the BIS Wiki aren't exactly crystal clear. The campaign in question is straight forward with no chapters and I want it to show up in the regular Campaigns folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snake Man 406 Posted October 9, 2022 Head over to PMC Editing Wiki, there is plenty of mission and campaign information to learn from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like a useful collection of template-snippets, but I can't see anything related to making a config.cpp for a campaign (that's about to be published as an addon) in there. I've figured out that the config should go in the mod's addon folder and that it needs entries for cfgPatches and cfgMissions, but that's about it. What else does it require? And what should a complete config.cpp for a campaign look like? Someone must have done this before. Plz help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mathiasstahle 59 Posted October 10, 2022 I solved the above problem with the instructions from this discussion (scroll down): https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/18/2243301553203400300/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if you're looking to get features from steam overlay like fps counter and option for screenshots then that's possible. Click the Games menu, choose Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library. Browse for games on your computer or put a check next to the game(s) you wish to add to the Library. Click on "Add Selected Programs". Now you'll be able to use steam features on a non steam game. Hope it helps Regards, Rachel Gomez Unrelated. We are speaking about Arma mods,missions,campaigns... created by the community and uploaded on Steam Arma workshop, not about an extra-game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
