Hallo fellas, i thought about one thing.Its possible to create 2 selectable campaigns in the main menu of the game?Lets suppose i created total 4 WWII levels, u play 2 levels as us soldier, 2 levels as soviet soldier.Now i wanna put them in 2 different selectable campaigns in the menu.
somethink like here in this video at the beginn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcGHjI51SiA
Added to the title.lua "new campaign" page

Now i have to create a newcampaign script, can u guys help me?i guess there should be two StartGame() funktions with 2 different images on the screen, a "soviet" and "USA" in my case.

EDIT:Its even possbile or i just wasting my time?If yes tell me please..
What means
TITLE_NEW = 1
TITLE_LOADGAME = 2
TITLE_ABOUT = 3
TITLE_QUIT = 4
are theese constant funktions?not editible?And the numbers are just scrpit-shortkeys?
Generaly i wanted to create from the title_new and the start button another page with 2 campaign-start buttons within.But everytime i click start in the standalone the computer hangs.There is also "function title_free()
-- free resources" in title.lua, can i made my own page with this function?If yes, there could be a way to make a subpage within the title.lua?

Yeah, that's a great idea.
Just not 100% sure what you mean by "campaign"?
But I sure wish there was more possible variety to the
menu system. Dinosaurs once had them better maybe?

i mean, something like 2 gameguru games compiled in one, with one main menu.U click the "start" button and istead of launching the game, there opens another "menu" with 3 buttons, for example "soviet campaign", "us-campaign" and "back to menu".With the first two u start the games.I hope its understandable, just look at the video in the first post.
Cybernescence sended me on priv an instruction how to edit the title.lua to get this effect, but not tried yet.

He Is talking about the 2nd menu option just like in Command & Conquer games, at the moment I'm pretty sure
the way GG is set up the might not be possible. I might be wrong but don't think i am.

Just create a blank level (call it a lobby level if you would) then use sprites to turn the whole screen into a menu, using the cursor, and freezing movement of the player, then have it so that when you click one "button" sprite it loads you into one level, and if you click the other "button" sprite it loads you into another level.

I did something similar in 3D as an example for character selection a while back.
