(but could be something else for the second item). there should be two lines "campaign" and "mod.pack", iirc.

Don't touch it.ġ8) Activate in the third explorer box "retail" the mod.pack for the according campaign. Mark "All" in both.ġ7) Watch what happens: Diverse files are highlighted now aka are marked active (and inactive). have it not open now, but you'll get it what is meant) - there, find and mark the campaign for which you changed the startpos in DAVE.ġ6a) Now two small application boxes pop up. This needs quite a time.ġ5) If BOB is up, watching the first of the three explorer boxes.ġ6) Find "EmpireBuilder" (spell?.
