			= Where to put it =
			The tdm_mapsequence.txt file needs to be placed in the root folder of the PK4 file containing your campaign. A possible PK4 could contain files like this:
			darkmod.txt
			install_splash.tga
			tdm_mapsequence.txt
			readme.txt
			maps/red.map
			maps/blue.map
			maps/green.map
			textures/...

New page

The tdm_mapsequence.txt file is used to define the order the missions should be played in. It is supported in TDM 1.06+.

= Syntax =
The general syntax is easy to understand, each mission gets is own line like this:
Mission X: MAPNAME
the number X defines the mission, starting with the number 1. After the mandatory colon the name of one or more map files need to be listed without extensions.

Note: while the file format supports more than one mission to be defined in each mission line, this is not fully supported yet in TDM's game code.

== Comments ==
The file format supports C++ style comments.
* Line comments can be initiated with the double forward slash //
* Block comments are initiated with /* and finalised with */.

= Example File =
This is a full working example file, defining a three-mission campaign consisting of the maps <tt>red.map</tt>, <tt>blue.map</tt> and <tt>green.map</tt>, in this order.

/**
* This file defines the mission order for this campaign
*
* The syntax is:
* Mission <N>: <mapname> [<mapname> ...]
*
* N is the mission number, with the first mission carrying the number 1.
*
* It's possible to define more than one map filename for a mission,
* in case there are loading zones in it, but usually you won't need that.
*
* Line comments can be initiated with the double forward slash //
* Block comments (like this one) are possible too.
