Have you tried launching the Editor and saving a scenario?
You speak about "how to save them", so I am wondering.

What problems did you meet in the process?
In 1.02 a few things may have changed for independent scenarios so I haven't tested it yet.

You must add your scenario to data\scenarios.whdat

You may also open it with Notepad++ or other text editing tools.
You'll need to make sure you use TAB instead of spaes where tabs are needed and displayed.
Coyp / paste an existing line, and modify it zith the path to your scenario file.

For example, you saved your scenario in /data/myScen.whscn
Then you'll add that line to scenarios.whdat:

myScen.whscn imperial_guard.png My Scenario name

After I have done that, then what?

Once we get a revamp on the editor tiles, I plan to write another guide to help illustrate not just how to use the editor, but a good process of how to go about it. Stay tuned, I'll help if I can!

I can't promise when exactly this will be arriving, but I'm hopeful it will come right on the heels of this upcoming patch. It is somewhat depending on what we get along with this patch, can't have one without the other!

1. Open the Editor
2. Place some stuff and units, setup your side, etc.
3. Save the scenario in the game /data folder. I would suppose you would save it as myScenario.whscn
4. Open the file /data/scenarios.whdat with a tool such as Notepad++.
5. Copy paste the last line so as to create a new line.

For instance :
CampScen25.whscn imperial_guard.png The Final Death Mire

Becomes :
CampScen25.whscn imperial_guard.png The Final Death Mire
CampScen25.whscn imperial_guard.png The Final Death Mire

6. Then you'll modify that last line, like:
CampScen25.whscn imperial_guard.png The Final Death Mire
myScenario.whscn imperial_guard.png My Scenario name


7. Save the file as is, thus overwriting scenarios.whdat.
(Save as, modify type to *.*, and validate)

8. Launch game.

9. Click on Scenarios ; scroll to the bottom of the list ; you should find it there!

How can I change unit price? Like make Titans cost more.
And why don't the computer AI buy new units. I gave them money.

Im very sorry for "necro"-ing old thread.

But I have some trouble with adding audio to custom units I build. I've been fairly successful this far . Been patiently reading guides especially when had to add offsets manually. Bit tricky , but manageable.

However, I can't find guide to add sound movement to custom created units. Could anyone please help with this ?


EDIT-------------
And JUST when I lose my hope and post my troubles, I find that illusive devil.
Here's the link from Dev
viewtopic.php?f=326&t=54432#p508150
"Audio/Movement/move.whdat"

In case any more noobs like me stutter on this problem.
