Part Two of the Small Scenario Checklist...
2. Create Scenario Description .txt file. Use a text editing program like Microsoft Notepad to construct this file.
The scen.txt file can be no more than 29 lines in length. Currently there is no scroll capability for the scenario
description box. So if you have 30 lines of text, you won't see line 30. Though you are free to use any format
you like, this is the one currently used in WitE:
• Scenario Name and dates the scenario begins and ends
• Historical Overview (3-4 lines of text)
• Scenario Overview (6-10 lines of text)
• Scenario Length
• Axis Admin Points per turn
• Soviet Admin Point per turn
To create this file for your scenario, it is probably best to open an existing scenario description file. Save it
using your scenario name, and then edit it to suit your needs. NOTE: When you save the scenario description (.txt) file,
it must have exactly the same name as your scenario (.sce) file.
Here’s what the symbols mean in the .txt file. The double slashes // on the first line are there for any commenting
you wish to make about the file. These comments are for you; they are not used—nor required—by the computer.
To enter your scenario description text, you must use the following command:
ScenarioText(0," ")
Everything in your scenario description must be added in between the two quotation marks. Your text is wrapped
automatically when the file is loaded so no need to worry about that. Use the ~ symbol to start a new line (carriage
return). You can use several carriage return symbols in a row if you want more lines between the sections of your text. Again the question, what am I missing from this list?
