Questions About Campaing Editor

[Ham Ham]

I dont know if this belongs to this forum. If not, move,plz.

i have some questions about the campaing editor:

1 - For what exactily serves the import manager of the campaing editor? I can import everything to him and use on the maps instead of importing everything to each map? If yes, what I must do?
2 - The maps are always appearing as "unused". How can I fix it?

Thanks for advance.

You are right. Just use the correct paths and use your campaign object editor to create your custom data for your models etc. and they will be used by each of your map. This will save a lot of time.

2 - The maps are always appearing as "unused". How can I fix it?

Click the Loading Screen text in your campaign editor then right click the empty field in the middle and click "Add a button". After you add this button as a link to a map it will not appear as unused. And of course, remember to click the visible box for the maps you want to be shown when the campaign is loaded for the first time.

1 - Yeah, you pretty much got it. It's an import that all of the maps can use, basically.

2 - And don't forget to make the maps "connect" by using

Thanks a bit guys!


Ok; Lets see if I copy that.
When I finish the object data I must:

1-Export the Object Data
2-Import all models into the campaing editor Import Manager keeping the same pathes.
3-After a campaing map is done, I remove all imported things on it and add the map into the campaing editor.

Is it what I exactly must do?

You do not need to export the Object Data. When you finish the object data, save the campaign. Load a map you're using in the campaign. The custom data should show up as Campaign Units, for example. This is very good since it still allows you to create custom units specifically for the map and have them organized in the respective folders.

I said "Export the Object Data" because I am creating it in a map to constantily test the units and AI.

Well, after the object data is impoted, and the imported stuff pathes are mathing with the o.d., I must import the map to the campaing editor and use the "edit map" function to begin to create the map?

Yep.
