Simple fix - you have not used the same names for the scenario filename and the campaign.txt entry. I guess you changed at some point and didn't update.
One tip - please remove any spaces in file or folder names. There are certain areas of the code which could get confused by them. Use a _ if you want to space out words.
Looks good!
Cheers

Great, I'm glad it's a simple fix. I'll see it I can get it working. Thanks SO MUCH for taking a look at it. You guys really go the extra mile for your customers.pipfromslitherine wrote:Simple fix - you have not used the same names for the scenario filename and the campaign.txt entry.

Was the zip file ok? Is that how I should have it when I distribute it?
EDIT: Worked great! Thanks so much! I'll work on getting the units in that I want and balance, then I'll start distributing!

Glad you are up and running!
Yup - share a single zip file with all the needed files inside, that people can just drop in.
I would recommend you rename the folder and campaign so they are more unique, I can imagine there will be a lot of MPMaps.zip files out there otherwise
. Insidius_MP_something I would suggest .

Hi, would love to try this out with you but...
I downloaded and unzipped and it appeared to work just fine but when I go to "My Challenges" it show a line like this:
"Missing_IDS_campaign_name" in yellow and no name beneath to click on.
Ha, I fiddled some before I clicked submit and when I took the folder "Maps by Insidius out of the MULTIPLAYER folder it worked.
It now show in the list. There is also a scenario by the name "Temp" with the somewhat odd description BLAH BLAH

Is your name IanDavidSmith in game? I didn't see your challenge, but someone started a game with me!hidde wrote:Sorry to be late but i posted right before bedtime. The game won' let me accept your challenge. It says unknown scenario and I'm unable to click on it.
But I made a challenge of my own and that one shows up correctly. Lets rock!
Ah, great to hear others are playing, too.hidde wrote:No, it's hidde
The game was picked up quickly and we are blowing each other up right now!
I can post a new one if you like. Can I take the Americans since I play the Germans in this one?
Sure, let's start one up. You can play whichever side you like.
Well, sorry Hidde. For some reason, I can't play with you. It seems like my version won't play nice with your version (or anyone else's for that matter).
I haven't changed anything on my side, and I even downloaded the same version I have in the dropbox link just to be sure it was the same that everyone else has and it's still coming up as a different scenario version that yours. You didn't change ANYTHING on your end right (not even folder names)? Which Multiplayer folder did you put it in, the one in my documents, or the one in the actual BA install directory?
EDIT: AHA, yep, that was the problem. I think you put the game in your main install directory on not in the custom maps area in my documents. I'll have to write up some directions to make sure everyone gets their files to go in the same place so we can all play together!

It's where all the rest of the MP scenarios are, in the BA folder \Slitherine\Battlefield Academy\Battlefield Academy\Multiplayer
I have no folder at all in my documents with regard to BA.
My game with kkophonia moves along without a hitch. And it's fun to boot. I think you have done a great job
I just saw you sent a turn. I'll try to play and see what happens.
