Very specific question. I'm trying to modify a lua script in one of the campaign levels and would like to apply it to an existing savegame. The script files for savegames (on loading them) aren't taken from their "original" campaign folder, are they? Does some kind of debug option exist to do so?

Unfortunately there is no option to apply changed scripts to a savegame.
the scripts (in their actual state) are saved within the binary savegame. even modifying them in the map folder saved with the savegame does not change anything in the game.

Isn't that cheating ? Unless you're debugging your own script I suppose...
