Question Cannot create a campaign - 13-07-2006

CrapShoot made a campaign with 5 maps and I trying to customize it reorderdening the maps, but my campaign donīt appears in fritzbot menu, only CrapShoot's campaign appears that. He is the expert.

Quote:
original 5 maps
{
name "Fritz Default Maps"
shortname "cmpgn_fritzbot"
description "Fueldump, Goldrush, Battery, Radar, and Oasis."
maps "fueldump;goldrush;battery;radar;oasis"
mapTC 274 365
type "wolfmp"
}
I trying this:
{
name "Fritz 5 Maps"
shortname "cmpgn_fritz_5_maps"
description "Oasis, Battery, Goldrush, Radar, and Fueldump."
maps "oasis;battery;goldrush;radar;fueldump"
mapTC 274 365
type "wolfmp"
}


Why this not worked?
Is it because the mysterious mapTC numbers?

Can you help me?
Thanks

Your campaign is correct. Do you have it located in a "scripts" folder within the "fritzbot" folder? If so, you need to have sv_pure set to 0 in either the console (/sv_pure 0) or in your autoexec.cfg (seta sv_pure "0"), or in your ET Start menu (pure server = NO).

Otherwise, you need to place it in a *.pk3 file in your fritzbot folder, which is simply a zip file with the extension renamed. Here, I've done it for you and tested it and it works. I have to send it as a *.zip file because the forum will not accept *.pk3 attachments. Simply change the extension to "pk3".

with sv_pure 0 I find my campaign files work just fine in etmain\scripts too, and are available to other mods as well.

Thank u for your explanations bindlestiff.
But I have so unnexpected behaviors...
My campaign was a .pk3 file that was in fritzbot folder and bindlestiff says that it was correct, but it not appears in campaigns list.

Now I downloaded bindlestiff .zip file (who is my campaign) and it appears in campaigns list.
I choose campaign Fritz 5 Maps, Description is correct: Oasis, Battery, Goldrush, Radar, and Fueldump, (that is the zip that i renamed to .pk3 in the fritzbot folder) and...
loading...
And it loads another campaign
Oasis, Rommel and SW El Kef

I changed my shortcut and inserted +sv_pure 0 and it continues loading the Oasis, Rommel and SW El Kef

Quote:
"D:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +set fs_game fritzbot +sv_pure 0 +set sv_hostname "FritzBot-Mod server"
Some friend sometime says to me that something similar happening with him (in his computer). He was oppening a campaign and another campaign was loaded.
And he wasn't using my crazy campaigns

I don't know what to think! I'm going crazy!

I believe the correct format for the shortcut command line is "+set sv_pure 0."

It sounds like it's loading the FritzA.campaign, which is included in Fritz0.pk3. I don't know why -- it's never happened to me so I haven't yet had to debug such a situation.

All I can suggest is to delete all the *.campaign files from Fritz0.pk3 and try again. Use your zip program to open Fritz0.pk3, look in the "scripts" folder and you'll see six campaigns there along with some other files. Remove those campaigns and see if that fixes your problem.

I try to debugging this situation:

1st problem:
My campaigns (.zip renamed to .pk3) are not working:
I extract file "Fritz 5 Maps.campaign" from Fritz 5 Maps.zip and re-zipped and renamed to .pk3 but instead the original this don't work anymore.
I don't know, but I think is something wrong with my zip. But it unzips and compress very well - And I zipped it with 2 softwares (PowerArchiver and WinRAR) no one works after the file are renamed to .pk3 .

2nd problem:
I choose some campaign and another are loaded.
I was using a .pk3 campaign with this behavior, then I create a script folder in fritzbot and extract "Fritz 5 Maps.campaign" to there. The campaign appears in menu but FritzA.campaign was loaded.
Then I remove FritzA.campaign from Fritz0.pk3 and northafrican.campaign are loaded instead Fritz 5 Maps.campaign.
Next step: I deleted all campaigns from Fritz0.pk3 and IT WORKS!!

Obs: My software works after delete some files in a zip but not work (i haven't another explanation) creating a new zip.
If I have some news I posted it here

Thank you for your help bindlestiff, I trying to help to, debuging my situation.

You don't need to extract the campaign file from my Fritz 5 Maps.zip. Just rename the zip extension to pk3 and put it in your fritzbot folder. Crapshoot has made a template for creating pk3 files. A link to it is in the ET Wiki under the heading "Installation of Addtional Files." That's what I use together with WinRAR.

I don't think that anything is wrong with your WinRAR. Perhaps you forgot to put the campaign file into a "scripts" folder in your zip/pk3?

I added some more campaigns to my system and found that I got the same problem that you have described. It seems to me that there must be a limit in ET for how many campaigns that can be loaded at a time. That's why I suggested dumping all unnecessary campaigns and just keeping the ones you want at the moment. It seems to hit the limit and then takes the data from the campaigns near the top of the list. If you put Fritz 5 Maps at the top, it will be the one loaded in place of the ones on the bottom. I don't know of any other way to fix this little glitch.

It's a fairly simple matter to modify an existing campaign file to suit your tastes. Create the campaign using the example as rssn has done, place it in the fritzbot/scripts folder and make sure that you have sv_pure set to zero. Or you can put it into a pk3 file. It is a good idea to remove all other campaign files from fritzbot/fritz0.pk3 and etmain/pak0.pk3 to avoid the interference that rssn has discovered.

Note that ET will not allow more than ten maps in a campaign and Fritzbot doesn't have the option to carry XP from campaign to campaign. I've attached a pk3 with three campaigns to include all 21 maps currently waypointed. Be sure to have ALL the maps installed in your etmain folder before running the campaigns, otherwise ET will crash when it encounters a missing map.

Once you have the campaigns, you may want to run them in sequence to play all the maps. For this you need a map rotation config file. I made one of those for you too. Put it your etmain folder and type "/exec Fritz_campaign_rotation" in the console after you have the game running.

Hope this helps!
