Tacedit help please

Post by Panther » 2003-02-20 14:20:00

Does anyone here know the correct way to add Divisions and Brigades to a campaign? Is Tacedit used alone? Is there a tutorial that explains this? I've read Chris Carters but no explanation on "how to" add Divisions and Brigades.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You cannod add divisions as they are calculated real time in the campaign.

Brigades are added just like other units.

Use TCL scripts to add ground troops, check out the PMC Korean Campaigns for further details.

Ok thanks,

So what do you put under "division" in the Brigade "ground page". Should it just be left at 0?

Should you only use TCL script for ground troops, or can you use the Brigade add button on the Brigade page?

Does TCL script only apply for troops or all batallions?

Thanks.

Yes.

Yes but why would you want to do it manually?

No, it creates everything you need.

Yes but why would you want to do it manually?

I don't, thats why I use Tacedit, I mean I keep getting told that Tacedit is the tool for making campaigns, Windows based and all, I find it real simple, now all of a sudden theres this TCL thingie!??

What program is used to create TCL?
How do I make a TCL script, and how do I use it?

Any text editor like notepad etc since .tcl files are just text files. Tacedit reads tcl scripts...
