SB CE (Squad Battles Campaign Editor) - Current version 1.1

[Warhorse]

Finally got some time to put the final touches on the Campaign Editor.

Campaigns in Squad Battles are very straightforward affairs - just a string of scenarios for the player to tackle in order. The Campaign Definition files (.cpd) are small text files that can be edited with Notepad or similar, but while the structure of these files is very simple, it is not officially documented so there's room for potential mistakes.

Here's where SBCE may help. Create your own .CPD from scratch or load an existing one, modify it to your liking and save it under the same or a different name. Add and remove scenarios, description, etc.


In the screenshot above I loaded the campaign "Tali-Ihantala.cpd" included with Red Victory.

Installation:
Unzip and drop SBCE.exe in the main folder of any Squad Battles game. Double click to run. The program will look for all the files it needs.

When creating your own campaign, the scenarios should be in the "Campaigns" subfolder. Once added to the campaign, you can reorder them using the arrow buttons. You can also select the main campaign character via the "Pick Character" tab or manually fill in the required information in the fields provided.

(Note: Interestingly, the campaign module cp_start.exe doesn't validate the character and simply ignores him if it can't find him in a particular scenario, so when designing a campaign you should make sure the campaign character (with his unique ID) is present in the .oobs of all the scenarios included in the campaign).

I've added tooltips for almost all controls, but as usual I'm here in case of questions, requests, bugs, etc.

OUTSTANDING!! I love it, you do very fine work my friend! Thanks for sharing!
