PTO Campaign

Hi Brian,

I did manage to get a campaign working for PTO, however it took a bit of tweaking. Not sure if I retain the info about what I did. From memory, the only thing missing was ship spawns for anti_ship missions which would have been half the fun. However there was a front line over several of the islands, and a large invasion fleet parked in one of the bays which was an awesome sight.

The reason why ships did not appear was because there are no shipping lanes in PTO (or RS for that matter). Apparently Led Zeppelin has managed to get shipping spawns working for campaigns in ETO using groundtype=direct in the spawn files, which is a work-around for no shipping lanes, but I have never managed to replicate his success.

The point is you have to fiddle about with xml files and there is nothing "out there" although I have demonstrated that a working campaign for PTO is possible.

HTH,
D
