GCM Singleplayer Campaign

[Garnier]

I made a singleplayer campaign mode for GCM. You create your own character and get a division, and it creates a sequence of unique battles for you to fight, using GCM's carryover system.

Video "Tutorial": (watch in HD for better detail)

Instructions:

First, install GCM using the download link above, and login to the GCM Launcher.

Click Start Singleplayer Campaign


Choose your side


Create your character


Now it will load the website and you'll see your new division


Back in the Launcher, click Continue Campaign


When the battle is ready it will show this message:


Start Scourge of War, and click Single Player


Click User Scenarios


Select the battle number the Launcher gave you and click Start


Fight the battle


When you're done, click End Battle


Click the Dump Game Database button at the bottom of the report screen


Close Scourge of War, and back in the Launcher click Continue Campaign, and then you'll see this message. Click Record


Choose who won the battle (you decide what rules you use to determine the winner)


On this screen if you don't know what to do, just click Open


It will then show you the battle report on the website


You can view individual division reports



Then do it all over again.

• I can't guarantee this will work with any non-GCM mods.
• It's probably not perfect. I just wanted to release it and see if there is any interest. There might be issues for me to fix still.

G-Man - Great idea, as soon as I get some time, I'm going to give this Campaign a go!

Thanks,

Release your map first, and then go ahead.

If Jim gives the all clear - I can pack up all of the loose ends and release this week.

There is no sense in packing up all of the files, and then adding another one, considering that once the PNG files are packed, you can't add in another file to that particular group.

Oh, I guess if we're not waiting on you, forgive my impatience and play the campaign at your leisure.

[KG_Soldier]

Perhaps I'll try out this single player thing I've been hearing about.

[NY Cavalry]

Thanks G. I'll be trying this out myself.

[SamSmith]

Great idea! Can't wait to try it. How are the battles generated?

[Garnier]

Have fixed the bugs that were reported during the night.

How are the battles generated?

Magic. Not sure what you mean exactly, but the battles are set up like normal GCM battles. Each campaign has a union and confederate army. When you go to battle, certain divisions from each army will be present -- all of them have carryover.

[Hancock the Superb]

Are the fighting divisions the same every time or are they different every time?
