I have the text compression tool and have looked at Recluse`s/Bald Eagles site in the builder forum for info. JayP I believe says it works with no problem however he did not add to that.

Does anyone know what would be the proper steps to get the campaign summary page status window to see the text using the text compression tool?
I heard the TCTool is required for this.

Its probably something simple that I am over looking. I created a test text with notepad, just a couple of sentences. I compressed it using the TC Utility and put it in the Campaign data folder with the other 2 that are already there. I tested it in the Campaign builder with both pre compressed & compressed file names. Perhaps I`m not naming the precompressed file properly before compression, Not sure.

Any advice would be appreciated. Everything else in Campaign Builder and Mission Builder are starting to come together. A few conflicts here and there, but it is expected. This is one of the most powerful Builders I have seen. Thanks Matt & CJ for convincing Janes to include it. We are lucky consumers on this one.

Anyway I`m still having trouble with the text compression thing, and now I have to force myself to bed. If you find a solution to your AI problem please post the fix.

In order to create a new one that includes the text for your own campaigns, you first need the text files for the campaign that comes with the game. You should be able to find these in the same place you got the compression tool. If you can't find them, email me and I'll send them to you.

Looking over your phase 1 campaign text files and Jane`s default files (Ctexte.cmp), they are around 12 - 14 kb`s. When I compress I get 1 or 2 kb`s. I`ve tried to even compress the default texts that came with the compression tool and still only get 1-2 kb`s. I`ve highlighted all the default text files for the compression test.
This would indicate that I`m doing something wrong for the size of the text files to be this low. I`ll work on it some more. Thanks again for your reply.
