It's already proved pretty convenient for me rofl. Also, I just wanted to add that I will be adding a couple templets into the program. These will just allow you to create a spicific type of campaign. For example, you could choose to create a rescue campaign, a regular mission, etc and the program will create the whole campaign for you! All it needs is a few inputs from the user(you) and it will throw a campaign together.

Umm, Alex? The say command is working for me, so i'm not sure what's going on there. Did you try looking at your history? Plus, I have updated the maker, so that you can now choose to use a screen reader if your heart desires. The link has changed though. It's in the first post. Also, from now on, campaigns will be created on to your desktop, so you may find them easier. There are a lot of extra files in the root directory of the program, so I wanted to make finding your campaign files easier. I also want to give a special thanks to CAE_Jones for the extremely helpful package of includes he has created. So, here you all go.

Hi, Can you please add the ability to load previously started campaigns? I stopped making mine, exited, and can't get back to where I left off. I think, If you could, a help/guide would help campaign newbys like myself as well. As it is, I love what you have done. I was wondering howI was going to create my own campaign. and, I now can do so, thank you sooo much!!!!! This along with the swamp map editor will help in making my own map, and making the campaign to go along with it. yes!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
I just tried my hand at editing bgt script for the first time mind you. so, I tried adding in a load fuction so users could load their previously saved campaign if they need to edit something, or continue where they left off. It now shows up in the main menu, but, when I press enter on it, the program exits. If I wasn't to do this Gamedude, I am sorry, I just wanted to try it out. If I was and you can help me so I can keep learning bgt, that would be so awesome and grateful. Thanks a lot.
Sorry, here is my copy of the campaign maker with the load fuction added.

Sorry for doubleing posting, but I have updated the client. I am having a bad feeling about this one. I don't think my new load function works, but it should. Basically, you type the path to the campaign you want to add on to, and press enter. If it finds the directory, it will take you straight to the categories menu. Someone let me know if this doesn't work, I didn't have time to try.

Filenames in bgt can be relative, so if your campaign is saved in the same folder as the program, it's as simple as using the filename. Unless Gamedude did something that specifically prevents this, but that seems unlikely.

Hello,
This looks really cool. I crashed it quite a few times though.
I'm using Jaws and when I open the campaign maker.bgt file, I get a welcom message from SAPI and then nothing. (I'm using jaws 11).
I also went into one of the entry boxes and didn't have all the information, so if I hit escape it just went forward in the function list. Perhaps you can tell it if key press escape equals true go back to the last menu.
Also, I'm not seeing any script being written to the campaign.txt file.
It would be lots of extra code, but if you made all the maps, sounds, weapons and all that stuff into menus rather than having someone enter it by hand, that would make it very fast and almost as nice as playing swamp. (Of course you could have an enter by hand option, but you wouldn't need it.)
I'm not sure how swamp scripts go yet, but how do I tell what functions are being run when? Can you do if than statements? With this can we tell the difference between the first if than statements and the later ones?
Thanks,

Cae Jones came up with the idea of combining the maker, and the map maker so I have temperarily paused development on it until further ideas are expressed. But, I haven't forgotten about it, lol!

severestormsteve1, I am completely rewriting the campaign maker to be much better than the first one I released. The reason you are incountering a run time error is because the old campaign maker has not ben updated to the latest BGT version of 1.3 because of my rewriting it. Unfortunately the development of the new campaign maker has been put on hold until the folks over at blast bay are done rewriting the form.bgt script.

Yes. And, I am working on other parts of the campaign creator that don't require the form class so I wouldn't say development isn't at a complete stand still.

I got those exact errors in my own scripts using my includes before they were updated to 1.3 compatibility. Just thought I should make sure everyone knows said includes were last updated June 4 2013, for just that reason as I recall.

Trying to imagine the map editor and the campaign maker merging leaves me having trouble imagining a situation where one doesn't canibalize the other as a special case or add-on. Boo, and I'm normally more creative than that.

Having the ability to load map data into the campaign maker would make it much easier to get things like coordinates, zone IDs, tile-changing, etc right, but at the same time, this is probably best accomplished by loading the map as soon as someone creates a new campaign and specifies which map to use. (And loading maps can be slow, so I'm sure most people would want to avoid doing it too oft--oh, wait, I forgot, people who play Swamp have all the patience. XD )

You could start from the campaign-maker interface, and add menus or map-browsing as an option when creating events or modifying the map. You could start from the map editor interface, and have commands for "Create a location event at the selected area", etc. The best way I can see not to privilege one over the other would be to start out with a main menu, then go from there with lots of simple swapping (simple from the user's perspective. Entangling all those components safely sounds like tricky business on the coding end.).

Hi!
When i start the file
"campaign maker.bgt"
it create this report:
File: D:\Downloads\swamp campaign maker\custom_pool.bgt
On line: 765 (1)
Line: void update_listener_3d(int listener_x, int listener_y, int listener_z, double listener_angle) {
Error: A function with the same name and parameters already exist

Can you help me?
Chris.
