Hi

I have created a large campaign using elements of several of the other TAS campaigns as a starting point and modifying them to fit into a World War Two fictional campaign. Looking at each of the standard menu and other downloadable campaigns/scenarios I see that each of them only refers to one environment file (.env) in the campaign or scenario info file, although several of the folders actually contain more than one environment file. Is there any way to get the campaign info file to use more than one environment file so that depending on where in the globe the task forces are the weather will be more appropriate to that particular environment? For example the frigid and stormy North Cape environment would be different to what one would expect in the Indian Ocean. Similarly is there any way to get the campaign info file to use more than one environment file so that depending on when in the year it is the weather will be more appropriate to that particular environment? For example the North Cape spring environment would be somewhat different to the North Cape winter environment.

Thanks
Richard

Richard,

To the best of my knowledge a campaign will not use more than a single env type file, even if there are multiple env files in the folder. The idea for TAS was to cover operational-scale actions: since operational scale almost nevers exceeds a single season (i.e. 2-4 months) in time I do not believe Fredrik (the TAS developer) included the ability to switch the env type file used during the campaign. I would be happy to ask Fredrik about this but I no longer am in any sort of regular contact with him as he has long since moved on with his life and new work.
