Campaign Manager
This is where you design how your Campaign plays out. Here, you will add Scenarios, set the story text, and setup Campaign Triggers. This is also where you package your Campaign so others can play it.
Campaigns are saved to a subfolder named after the Campaign's ID within the "Documents/Your Journey" folder. For example: C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Your Journey\2a6248e9-a121-44fa-b5d7-c9133cdc7ff8
The Campaign Name is the name of your Campaign. Players see this name in the Companion App. It will appear in a list with other Standalone Scenarios and Campaigns when players start a New Game to play.
Under Campaign Scenarios, you can add existing Scenarios to the Campaign, as well as create new Scenarios to add to the Campaign.
Click the Create And Add New Scenario button to create and add an empty Scenario to the Scenario list. You'll be asked to name the Scenario first. You can edit the Scenario later.
If you want to create a new Scenario and open it right away in the Editor, hold down the control key when clicking the button.
Click the Add Existing Scenario button to open a file chooser and select an existing Scenario to add to the Scenario list. The file chooser defaults to the "Documents/Your Journey" folder, which is where you keep Campaigns and Scenarios for both editing and playing in the Companion App.
Edit a Scenario you've added to the Campaign by clicking its Edit Scenario... button.
Use the up and down arrows to move a Scenario up or down in the list. The Companion App plays Scenarios from top to bottom.
To remove a Scenario from the Campaign, click the red X button for the Scenario you want to remove. This does not delete the Scenario file. It simply moves the file one directory up, from the Campaign's project folder to the "Documents/Your Journey" folder where all the Standalone Scenarios are kept. When you remove a Scenario from a Campaign, the Scenario essentially becomes a Standalone Scenario.
If you DO wish to remove and permanently delete a Scenario, hold down the control key when clicking the X button. You will be asked to confirm your decision.
Use the Create Package button to zip up your Campaign so you can share it with others to play. The ZIP archive will be located in the Campaign project folder. Click the Open Project Folder button to open an Explorer (Windows OS) window at your Campaign's folder location.
To play a Campaign Package, place the ZIP in your "Documents/Your Journey" folder. The Companion App will read the ZIP and unpack it into a subfolder using the Campaign ID as the folder name.
You do not need to Package your Campaign to test it in the Companion App since the Editor already saves your Campaign project to the expected subfolder.
To permanently delete a Campaign, click the Delete Campaign button. You will be asked to confirm your decision. Deleting a Campaign will not delete the Scenarios included in it. Any Scenarios included in the Campaign will instead be moved one directory up to the "Documents/Your Journey" folder, essentially turning them into Standalone Scenarios.
