A question about the launcher

[Alexius.Dejan]

Does the launcher copy campaign files every time you start it?
I noticed that launcher remembers your last settings( engine and campaign faction ) so i was wondering
if i launch the same campaign every time do the files get copied every time?
I hope you understood my question.
Oh and one more thing, i read somewhere that RS2 is optimized for 0 turn recruitment.
Will i break some script or something if i edit my EDU files for 1 turn recruitment?
Thanks in advance.

I presume you mean the preferences or are you referring to other files?

Once the campaign has been launched for the first time and the process has created the folders and copied the files across it won't do that again. I'm fairly sure this is a feature of RTW and nothing to do with the mod - after all the vanilla RTW will do the same as well. Maybe if the preferences were deleted they would get copied again.

An unplayed campaign will just have a 'data' folder - but once the campaign has been launched then it gets a 'preferences' and 'saves' folder. The contents of the preferences is from the 'preferences' folder inthe main game folder.

So, set up the preferences how you like them before starting a different campaign.

You know there is a 1_turn recrtuitment option in the campaign selection? I would presume if you modified a faction campaign then you will make a mess of any balancing that's gone on.

Personally I prefer 1-turn recruitment. My understanding is that there are less full stacks wandering around in RSII than there were in RS1.

My bad. I was playing EB for a long time i just assumed that RS2 launcher works the same way as the trivial script.
Keeps files in backup folders and copies them to data folder before launching the game.
I suppose in RS2 this campaigns work as modfolders, the game loads them on top of data folder. Sorry.
The reason i asked is because of editing edu-s. I know about one-turn campaigns option but i don't want to lose roman rebellions.
Thank you for your answer.
