Scenario script, ARRRRGH!!!

[Proff]

Hi All,
Now I have had CMBN for over a Month I wanted to start to make up some Scenarios to share with you bunch of nutters, but I have a problem, I may be being very thick here, but, I can make a map and place units etc, but how the hell do i set up the scenario story etc? I have not got a clue, can some one please help out here as i feel a complete walter (no offence meant if any of you are called walter) every thing else is fine, just need to know how I set up and insert the briefing sections of the editor so you lot can rip my scenarios apart.

Cheers in advance

Perry

I uses window's notepad mostly. I save all the scenario's briefing to one folder and I save each txt file as "Allies briefing", etc.

Here what the CMBN manual saids.
MISSION (ALLIED AND AXIS)
The Mission Briefings seen by the Allied and Axis players at the beginning of
the battle are determined/created here. Each sides’ set is unique to itself,
but the method for creating them is identical for both. A full Mission Briefing
set consists of a strategic overview map, an operational overview map, a
tactical overview map, and the text for the briefing itself.
All four files (three image files for the maps and one text file for the briefing
text) have to be imported into the scenario file.
Note: Once imported you do not need to include the original
files anymore.

The three map images all have to be in BMP (Bitmap) format, but each can
have a different maximum size:
Strategic Map: 224 x 224 pixels
Operational Map: 702 x 224 pixels
Tactical Map: 952 x 350 pixels

The briefing text itself is a simple text (.txt) file. A template is used as default
for the briefing text when you create a new mission from scratch. It might be
a good idea to export the template first, fill in your orders into the template,
and then import the completed text.
Note: The ^ tags indicate the end of a section, and should not
be removed.
Empty briefing sections are not displayed to the player at all.
The options for the images and briefings are:
Import a new file,
export an existing file
clear (delete) an existing file


Hope that helps some
