"MCG Campaign Creation"


          

Hey all, it's been quite awhile since I've been here. I'm glad to see the Mech community still going strong. Which brings me to my question. I went back to play MCG, but really wanting to get back into the editor. I just never could work the MC2 editor, and it would minimize uncontrollably when I'd click on the taskbar.

I was wondering if there was anyway to make a campaign out of MCG missions. I remember someone made one for the guys here at DSC, but I was wondering if that application was available for everyone, or was just a one time thing. If it is available is there anyone who has it, or somewhere I could find it? Any help would be much appreciated, I've been wanting to make a campaign for my mercenary unit for a long time now. Thanks all.

Here is where you'll find the tool I used to make a linked campaign:

This really helped me a lot in linking campaigns and lots of other stuff like salvage, damaged buildings, adding new units mid-mission etc.

Alrighty, thanks for the help. I started it up. I tried out the salvage and look-out points, but my structures were unable to be salvaged. I used the containers and the HQ. Also, I tried out the Campaign Linker, but none of my missions showed up... do you use the .dpk files and where would you save them so it finds them? I think that is all the trouble I was having. Any advice on how to run the program would help a lot, since it didn't really come with a help file. Thanks again.

egad ... been quit awhile at anything mcg ...

After making your .dpk files (aka missions), you need to extract them using the dpk extractor (came with the game).

You also need to copy the resulting campaign file (from extender) to the appropriate directory (however you should back the original file up first).
