Campaign Builder Mission Management

[Gunthrek]

Greetings,

I'm a bit confused by the campaign builder.  I'm trying to create a campaign with four separate stages, each with several missions.  From the UI, it seems like I should just be able to create a stage in the upper window, name it, and then add my missions to the lower window.  However, when I do this, clicking the restart campaign button cycles randomly through the missions.

I'm also not certain how to mark missions as complete so they advance the campaign.  My understanding is you add an "END MISSION" event and mark the player's coalition as the winner.  This seems to work in the mission editor to actually end the mission, but then when I try to run it in the actual campaign after building it, the END MISSION event doesn't seem to trigger at all.

Is there a good tutorial on how to use the campaign builder, preferably with tips and tricks to avoid some of these things that seem like bugs, but are probably just not understanding the mechanics of the builder?

Thanks!

I finally stumbled across a sort of answer for this, though the answer kind of disgusts me.  Apparently the stages are intended for stepping through the campaign, and the missions window is for providing a list of missions that are to be selected based on the outcome of the previous stage.  So if I understand it correctly, you're only going to do one mission per stage, and if you put more than one mission in a stage it bases which mission you play on the score from the previous stage.  So you might have one mission that is available if you scored a 60-70, a different mission for 70-80, etc.

I suppose this is intended to allow for diversity in playthroughs, which is definitely cool, but it's a bit frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a way to create blocks of missions the way I was hoping it worked.

What is it that you're trying to do? From reading it sounds like you either want a mission to be randomly selected within a stage, or you want them to go in order through a stage, but neither of those should be an issue.

Can you clarify?
