RockinHarry -> RE: Correct way to install new scenarios? (2/14/2005 4:47:57 PM)

Spscn* prefix is used by Camo Groups SP2WW2 for its scenarios! Ya know, both games are completely incompatible when it comes to scenario files and OOB, although Terrain icon files can be used in both,...at least partly (just rename files...).
Something that is overlooked nowadays is that scenario/campaign makers have the option to pack their stuff in Mod Swapper format! IE you can set up your mod swapper package in a way that your new scenario is installed in senario slot1, without regard to what is located there at the moment, as Mod Swapper deals with backupping of files automatically! Also very useful if you combine your scenario with a particular mod (what I do oftentimes).
Personally I have different scenario folders sorted by topics (IE Scen_Own, Scen_Original, Scen_downloaded, ect.) and rename them accordingly to what I want to play or load at a time before I launch the game. Itīs less labourous than finding free scenario slots and renaming 2-4 files each time you have downloaded a new scenario.
You can also use Ectizens Scenario Wrangler for managing scenarios and it works well after youīre getting used to it.
Note: You donīt need to add the *.rec file normally! It will be filled up with "replay" data once the game is started and is created on the fly. Only exception I can think of is that you use a renamed save game as your scenario and have particular "replay" stuff added to the scen as integral part of it. That replay data might be a prolonged bombaredment from the previous turn, or a lengthy air landing ect. Iīve not seen anything like that used by a scenario/campaign maker and also didnīt use something like that yet myself.
