Adding a new button to the front page of the game:
Open the file defaultmod.txt in the main folder, it will look like this:
Case Blue
1
dccbmodgraphics
dccbscenarios
dccbsound
natocounters
intro.ogg
21
1,7,-485,540,LOAD SAVED GAME,4,
1,7,-485,500,LOAD SCENARIO,3,dccbscenarios\
1,7,-227,570,TRAPPENJAGD,1,dccbscenarios\campaign1.dc2
1,7,-227,610,CASE BLUE (FULL) ,1,dccbscenarios\campaign2.dc2
1,7,-227,500,CASE BLUE (SHORT),1,dccbscenarios\campaign2s.dc2
1,7,-227,650,URANUS (FULL),1,dccbscenarios\campaign3.dc2
1,7,-227,690,URANUS (SHORT),1,dccbscenarios\campaign3s.dc2
1,7,25,500,2ND KHARKOV,1,dccbscenarios\2ndkharkov.dc2
1,7,25,540,VORONEZH,1,dccbscenarios\voronezh.dc2
1,7,25,640,1ST PANZER ARMY,1,dccbscenarios\1stpanzer1.dc2
1,7,-485,580,IMPORT ZIP,15,
1,7,-485,620,QUIT,5,
1,7,275,580,TUTORIAL,2,dccbscenarios\Tutorial3.dc2
1,7,275,500,PBEM++,16,
1,18,-485,460,OPS,1,
1,18,-227,460,MAIN CAMPAIGN SCENARIOS,1,
1,18,-227,540,OTHER CAMPAIGN SCENARIOS,1,
1,18,25,460,SMALL SCENARIOS,1,
1,18,25,600,LINKED SCENARIO CAMPAIGN,1,
1,18,275,460,PBEM++,1,
1,18,275,540,TUTORIAL,1,
Notice the number of items below the 21 is well, 21. Each one of those items is a button on the first screen when you load up the game, with information on what file to run if you click on it.
In my PBEM game, my friend Steve sends me the same file name everytime, which I dutifully dump in my savedgames folder. SO in order to run that file with the click of a button, I increment the 21 to a 22 (since I will now have 22 items) and add this line after the QUIT button:
1,7,-485,660,STEVE,1,savedgames\Steve@Joe.dc2
This adds a button called STEVE which, when clicked, will load the saved game Steve@Joe.dc2. (not an email address )
For those curious, the 1, 7, represents the button...the 1, 18 is a label.
The -485 is the x coordinate of the button, and the 660 is the y coordinate. I just followed the buttons behind it by adding 40 to the y coordinate.
If you want to add a Mod, like Redmarkus' mod, you can do this:
1,7,-227,730,REDMARKUS,1,dccbscenarios\RedmarkusMod.dc2 which would put it after the URANUS (SHORT) button.
Just remember to change the 21 to the actual number of items in the list below it.
