The Battle.ini, yeah a pretty cool thing. But i have a problem with it.

After ending a mission it begins always with same mission again. And this problem takes away the possibility to use the advantage made of the previous mission. For example:

If you choose to destroy the Radar Station before you start the real Mission to save Tratos if you get spotted you wont lose. Because you destroyed the Radar Station before. But i cant proceed with with the advantage because it will not remember that i did it.
Get it?

Is there a way to let it know that i did it? Or select the Real mission with already the advantage made?

These are called 'globals'. At the end of the extra mission, it sets the global, which will tell the next map to spring extra triggers to give you the bonus.

You can edit the map and make a trigger to spring the local, if you really must skip the mission that sets it..
Event="any event"
Action=Global set... (choose one)

sorry TB but I think he knows that part.
I believe his problem is that he has those things set but when he completes Missions 1 it doesn't go to Mission 2. Thus the globals that were triggered in Mission 1 won't go in effect to Mission 2 because A) it doesn't go on to mission 2 and B) if you can choose mission 2 from the menu then it won't have the globals activated.

Therefore the knowledge that he needs is in how you make it go from Mission 1 straight into Mission 2 with no problems.

This however, I don't have much knowledge on as I haven't compiled the small sets of TS:CO and I only have them set as individual missions right now. So I can only suggest that you look at several WestWood SP maps and see what you can find there.
I do know however, that of the campaigns I have played by users they never seemed to get that part down correctly. Provided I do believe the only user made campaign I played through was Spy005s Return of CABAL and The Never Ending War. Which in my opinion were pretty lame although there was a decent bit of work put into them.

Well, when i complete a Mission i want that the "Mission Briefing" Screen shows up and i can select which way i choose to complete the Mission
A) Do that to get a advantage in the Main Mission
B) Get another advantage for the Main Mission
C) Begin straight with the Main Mission.

You know what i mean?

But it doesn't even take me to the next Mission, it just starts always with the second Mission of both Campaigns.
NOD's Retaliation - Capture the Radar Sation and GDI's Secure the Region. After completing these Missions it goes back to the Briefing Screen of these two Mission and i can just click on it and it starts all the same shit again.

So, i want basically just play the normal Story mode with everything it has.
-Select the Next Mission Way (if there is one)
-Get the Advantage of the Last Mission (if it was made)

I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.

Sorry about the lack of response.

However, I unfortunately don't think it's possible to get the story map up and choose your missions from it. Though even if it is you will be stuck using the same map locations as the normal TS campaign uses. Though personally I have never bothered with it too much as it is currently just too much of a hassle to try to edit.

There is a place somewhere in which you can set the next mission that it should go to after you complete the first one. However, like most things it's a lot simpler to show than to try to explain but I can't be bothered at this point in time to get pics of it all. My best suggestion is just to look at ALL parts of the normal TS campaign and base things around it by switching map files around to match with yours and what not.

Again all of this is more that I will be finding out exact details on later when I actually get to setting up TS:CO into small campaign sets. So really it's somewhat unknown territory for probably the majority of the modding community.
