The only thing I want to do is be able to change the start date on the game. Could someone please tell me a proven way to do this? Or link a edit program so I can go in and change the date from 1936 to...say...1926 or so? Thanks....

Hi,

go to /scenarios/1936.eug

edit the following lines accordingly:

header = {
name = "Grand Campaign"
startdate = {
year = 1936
}
I tried that and it gave me an error message (when I tried to open the file). Said that the file is either in unknown format or is damaged. I tried opening it using the WinRAR program. I will try to reinstall the game (in case it was damaged somehow) and try it again.

I did a full reinstall. I can view the file (only by making a copy of it) but I cannot alter the file at all (I can see where I need to change it, but I can't). It is not checked read only or anything like that. I still keep getting that message that I listed in my last post. Any help? Or can someone post the altered file for a date of say...1000 AD?

well, i simply open the file in editor and it always worked

Editor? Which editor? I did not see any editor in the game menu. Is this a program you can download? Sorry if I am sounding so stupid here...I just don't do this very often...

If someone could post a step by step...it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.

no, the windows editor

What windows editor? Again, I refer to my last post. I don't mod very often at this level. I can run an edit program if I am told how to do it step by step...but am sorta..no. I am very clueless when it comes to most things like this...sorry for my stupidity... :wacko:
