Custom campaign and player properties

[Warndong]

I am creating a custom campaign. I finished the first mission and everything worked perfectly fine, so I moved to the second mission. My problem now is, no matter what I do, I cannot get the player properties to work IF I ENTER THE SECOND MISSION DIRECTLY FROM THE CAMPAIGN SCREEN. I need the user to be Player 22 and Night Elf. If I play through the first mission and finish it, then the playter properties stick in the second mission (player 22 and night elf). However, if I enable the button directly from the campaign screen (which I do to test the map) I am stuck as Player 1 (RED) and my race is random. I have "fixed player start location" ticked in the map, but form some reason, it just won't work. My fear is that, once someone finishes the first mission, they might want to close the game, wait, and then play again from the second mission (since the button will be enabled then) and the Player Properties will not work. Any help? Is this a known bug?

Why would you NEED to be Player 22? I highly suggest sticking with logical Player slots and changing Colors with triggers if need be:

• Color Fix
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Change color of Player 1 (Red) to Snow, Changing color of existing units

Also, make sure that the Forces are fixed as well.

That would help with the color. But it would not help with the race. Entering directly through the button to mission 2 ignores player properties, and gives me a random race.

EDIT: MY BAD. I forgot to fix forces. Thank you, uncle!

The Race isn't locked to a Player Slot either. You can customize everything.
