Step 1 |
 |
You see the first form of campaign creating wizard. Use the command with three dots to find and choose
the folder where you want your campaign to be save. When you will choose the folder, the path will be display in the
text on left side of button. To the next text box write the name of the campaign (1985 for example :) ). The end campaign path
will be choosed folder\Campaign Name.Eden. In the last text box you can set how lives you want to have in campaign. Default value
is -1 (one live, when player is killed, he's dead - RIP :) ). I did not try what different values do, I just know this is an default value.

Step 3 |

Here you can make characters like Guba, David Armstrong or James Gastovsky were. To the first text box write the "reference" name. You
must remember that names, because when you will want to set created character to some soldier in campaign mission, you will use SetIdentity
Name command. The Name is the "reference" name you wrote to this text box. Then click Add button. Character will be add to the list.
Now you can set the face for your character, what glasses he wears, his speaker and pitch of his voice. I think this windows in not hard to use.
Here you can set up the same settings what you can set for new player in Operation Flashpoint. This window will be display when you will click the
Characters profile... command from menu. But if you will call this window from menu, you will create characters for your opened mission.

If you did not play campaign like Rambo or you are not John McClane, you maybe saw intro movies where
colonel Blake said: "Soldier, I know the war is hard, but I could be great if you will fight better!"
In the left part of window in frame window you can add intro missions what will be displayed when player
play bad (if he's not good like Rambo or John McClane :) ). Click the Add button first and select the mission
what will be displayed when player play bad on Everon. Missions with Eden extension. If you will open some
mission, Penalty 1 will be add to the list. Then you can choose other islands from the list and set the intro mission for
it. Then write the score limit. If the player will have same or lower score you have entered to the score limit, the intro
mission will be played and he must play the mission again and better. If you think, he's very bad player when he got score (for example)
-5000, give him boots. Just check the ending check box. The work with frame and options at right part of window is same. But there you
can set intro missions what will be played when the player do like Rambo or John McClane.

Here you will create an heart of campaign. First time you must add some campaign Part. Click Add Part button. The text
box will be display under button. Write part name here (Start for example). The Add Part button is now labeled Ok. Click on the
button again and part will be add to the tree view. Now you can add missions under created part. Click Add Mission and program will
display open mission dialog. Load the mission. If you will select the part or mission node in the tree view, you can edit their options by
clicking Edit button. The list of available options will be displayed. There is End1-End6. You can set what will happen when campaign mision
or part will ending by one this end. The default values are sets automaticaly when you adding part or mission. Program uses keywords ", (for missions) and , for parts. Look how the default values are sets and you will understand this system easy (I think :) ).
Then you can delete mission or part by clicking the "WC" button.

You can watch created files now. Browse by them by scrolling horizontal scroll bar. Before you can play your campaign,
you must make campaign pbo file and copy that file to the campaign folder. If you have setting up some pbo utility program,
just click the Make PBO file button and pbo utility program will make the pbo file to the campaign folder. Then you can
copy this file to the campaign folder. If you have not pbo utility program, move the campaign folder to your user\missions folder.
Because the campaign have Eden extension, you can open it in mission editor. Open it and click and Save->Export As Single Mission. The
campaign will be save to the missio folder. Remove Eden extension from pbo file and move it to the campaign folder. The name of pbo file
must be same like the name of the campaign. if the name of campaign is 1987, the name of the pbo file must be 1987.pbo. If it is not, the
campaign could not work and OFP can return some error message when you will try to play campaign.
I allready try to make test campaign with my wizard and if the name of pbo file was not right, the campaign did not work!
