OK, so I just realized that I screwed up big time.
You see, my original plan for Rebellion was to have 3 maps. So, that's how I set up the campaign.txt, generic_mission.txt, and the .cam file.
Well, I changed my mind right after I finished Rebellion1 to make the campaign 4 maps. So, I just changed the g_m.txt and campaign.txt and the rebellion.cam files.
Well, guess what? The transition from RB3 to RB4 doesn't happen. I'm 100% sure everything should work, but it doesn't. My guess is because the game ignores changes to the .cam file after the first map is loaded. So, unless I or someone else can figure out how to get around that, I've some problems
1 - I'm about 90% done with RB3. As in 90% done with everything. That's a problem because I've made the map (and RB2) with the intention of having a fourth map.
2 - Since I can't get the game to recognize the changes to the .cam file, the only way for the campaign to go like I want it to is for me (and everyone who's played the thing so far) to restart from Rebellion1.
So, either a miracle happens, or everyone gets to start over (hence the post subject). Technically, I could do some major surgery to RB3 to make it make sense that the fourth map isn't "there" (in a nutshell, I'll make RB4 the first map of the Revenge campaign).
So, what do you fellers think I should do? Obviously, if I make everyone start over, I'll retouch RB1 and RB2 to make it (at least somewhat) worthwhile.
Note that option #2 on the poll would be faster for me to do.
