Changing the Default Map for a Campaign

Post by goldensword52 »

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that hopefully has a pretty simple solution. Can anyone tell me how to change the default map for a campaign? By the default map I mean the one that I am always taken to when I first load the .cmpgn file. For me that is always the same map, but I would like to change that first map to some other map in the campaign. Is this possible? And if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance.

in theory, the default should be the map you last saved on. But I've never seen that 'feature' very consistent.

If you want consistancy and also make sure that when the players log in they *too* load on that map, then you have two options:

1. create a onCampaignLoad macro on a lib:token and use Wiki: setCurrentMap().
2. get the bag of tricks (link in sig) and set the default map in the settings.

I had been using bag of tricks for a while, but I never knew it had that option in the settings menu. I guess it just keeps surprising me. Thanks a lot!
