long time lurker here. Anyways I'm having some trouble creating a new campaign. No maps at all show up when I try to add a new mission to the campaign. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated or if someone is feeling generous maybe a quick walkthrough of the campaign editor. Thanks.
has anyone been succefull with this? I cant for the life of me figure out how to mke the campaign editor recognize a map.

Thanks, I just posted there yesterday. Nothing quite hepful yet. I did figure out how to make a user campaign with new maps (or mix/match official) by cannibalizing the official campaigns. With H5/HoF/ToTE full installed you could string together 60 maps. It doesn't delete the official campaigns but temporarily overwrites them as a mod. If folks are interested I'll write a walkthrough for my workaround. I'm kind of under the impression here that no one else cares, but I'm happy to be wrong.

Alright. I assume you want to know how to make your own campaign. First use winrar to unpack the campaigns folder from the data file and exrtact to the usermods folder. go to usermods and change the read only status of the folder. open up c1.xdb the first few lines should look like this
You must use the correct internal name for the hero you want to have transfer and the hero must be present on both maps. Also the target mission line starts counting missions at zere. for example mission 1=0, 2=1
when your done pak up the file and move it to the data folder.
I hope this helps. if you want to learn more about mix/matching the nival campaigns or having your heroes carry over through the expansions let me know.
