Question, How should I set up the missions? Options

[Ixith]

Ok. I simply want to know how I should set up the missions for the mission/campaign selector?

The 2 choices are:
-Like a normal Campaign set up. (this is where you see a campaign title and you click it and play missions 1. Once beaten you play Mission 2 and so on. Just like how the normal TS missions are set up.)
-Like TD: Covert Ops in which EACH mission is given and you can choose to play any right from the selector

Thats what I would like to know. So vote in the poll and give me your reason why you think that!

if you have a story behind the missions, then make them like a campaign.
If they work independent from each other, then TD covert ops like.

btw, how do you want to make it work like in covert ops? Do you edit the exe and add a new menu for the missions?

Each mission has an independent story from the others. Like the TD Covert Ops missions.

I believe I could make it work kinda like the way in covert ops by editing the battle.ini and have each mission as its own 'campaign' thus each mission would appear in the Single Player campaign selector thing. Thus You could have the main normal TS campaigns and below them would be my missions in the Mission selector.

I remember playing the old Spy005 campaigns (at least I think it was his campaigns..mighta been someone else so correct me if I'm wrong) Return of CABAL and also The Never Ending War, in which If I remember correctly The Never Ending War you were able to choose which mission you wanted to play. So if I need to go re-find those and download them and play them/look at how he did some of the things I can. Though I never really liked those campaigns. He reused many of the WW SP maps.

in this case i would recommend to make small campaigns and add only the first mission of each campaign. Else it could become unclear if you have too many single missions there. In addition do many people imo already expect a campaign and not only a single mission in this menu.
