StarCraft 2 Custom Campaign Manager
Starting with the test version of 1.03, the SC2CCM will be open source.
This code is decent. A lot of similar ideas were not pushed into functions (stuff that repeats for each campaign) due to having to carry around the tags/paths/etc. for each campaign.
The updater is not. If you're familiar with making an updater, please let me know/make a pull request. It's honestly a terrible method but was about the only way I could think to do things at the time.
In the future, we want to work on a better content distribution method other than the CCM discord server. I'm hoping it doesn't overwrite what anyone does here.
Basic idea of how the CCM works:
When a .zip or folder is detected, it finds a metadata.txt file in the subfolders. If it doesn't have one, the folder is ignored.
From there, the metadata file provides the CCM the information it needs to properly place the files and folders in the correct location.
All custom campaigns that appear in the CustomCampaigns folder with an associated metadata.txt file will appear in the dropdowns of the CCM.
If any subfolder in the CustomCampaigns folder does not contain a metadata.txt file, it will throw the "Unable to find metadata.txt for " error.
Switching campaigns is removing the campaign files from the SC2 working directory, checking that all the files removed properly, and then copying the selected mod into the correct folder.
There are a lot of extra checks that make sure nothing gets out of sync, but sometimes issues do crop up. The perfect goal would be for the user never to have to open the file explorer (which is done for many of the users of this program).
Built with C# through .NET Framework version 4.8.
