Hi Monty,
Is it possible to introduce a standard Campaign and missions list
that allows seperate lists inside for BAT(DOF2,TGA2,WAW2 and JTW)
and VPmods WW2 campaigns etc into which we can place the approate campaign.
I know it may require Duplicate lists ,which uses more space ,but
this would allow the user to only load a campaign for the module selected
instead of guessing (which campaign is this for? WAW2 DOF2,TGA2 or VP)
It may be possible for a programmer to reduce the size this would normally take.
At the moment you select eg:- GB  and all campaigns for GB show up reguardless of
the module needed to play.
It's just a thought

Move this to the correct item if required.

Hi edc1,
you can make your own mod via JSGME and place each campaign in the proper module. Using JSGME you can select or unselect which campaigns are loaded or not.
Maybe you should have a look at this thread:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,54599.0.html

I've tried it and it works fine.

However, I think it is much easier doing as Monty suggested in Reply 15 at the same thread. Campaign designers should select a name for their campaigns that suggests in which module should they be played (for example, naming them WAW_BattleOfBritain, or TGA_Races). Monty puts the year in which campaigns take place (as 1916_SOMME, 1917_SCOUT), which suggests that they should be played in DOF module. Once you install the campaign that you want to play, I suggest to change their names to fit these conventions. Just remember to use underscores (_) and no spaces, so the game can read the name of the campaigns.

I would suggest to use YEAR_MODULE_SHORT NAME as a general scheme, so campaigns would appear chronologically ordered, and the module that should be used would be completely clear to users.
For example:
1909_DOF_PARIS
1916_DOF_VERDUN
1938_TGA_EBRO
1941_WAW_BISMARCK
1969_JTW_VIETNAM

Good luck!
