Seeking Scenario Creation Guide

[Neal]

I am seeking a complete scenario creation guide.

I am building a scenario for MP play but do not have the complete set of instructions for creating the scenario files. Is there a guide out there somewhere? I know we had one going at one time, as I used it a couple years back.

Thanks,

Neal

See if these threads help:

Use a pre-made MP scenario as your template, and replace it with the files that you will build for yours. Some files don't need to be replaced, just edited for your design.

MP scenario builds are really quite easy, just a matter of setting up your scenario.csv file and positioning your troops...exactly what these threads explain how to do. Then setting up and defining your objectives in the Maplocations.csv file. The rest is just text editing. Good Luck

You found the one on the Kriegspiel site now. Is that one helpful?

[Neal]

Not originally, hence I had to come here. I saw there are some clarifications or tips posted for me to review, but I have not had the chance to look at them yet. The responses may be more than satisfactory. Also, the problem could be with the designer (moi), rather than the instructions...

I'll let you know next week.

I am riding to Richmond over the weekend and will not return to my Division until Tuesday at the earliest. I am hopeful the scenario will be ready in a week or so. I just realized I will be gone the following Saturday too! But even if I can't play it on the first run, no biggie. I'll have it to your guys ASAP.

RB - Will this be any different if I am using a custom OOB?

Nope, just prefix your oob for sandbox - OOB_SB_Whatever, and put it in a mod, or in mod form: Mods/Neal/OOBs/OOB_SB_Whatever

After revisiting the guide on Kreigsspiel, with time to read it carefully and follow the directions precisely, I found that to be most helpful. Additional help from Baldwin was also greatly appreciated!

Yes, Stefan's guide is actually all you need. It's excellent.
