Question about "Unknown Scenario" error

[Aryvan]

Hey guys

As you can see, I have a problem with an error. Currently I try to make my first steps in campaign and scenario development but unfortunately I can't do it without help...
I am trying to include units from the Ageless_Era in my campagin and I guess that's where all the problems start. I don't really know how to do it and tried to fix the error for hours now. I hope you can help me

The path of the campaign on my computer is: Wesnoth/userdata/data/add-ons/Rebirth

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I used "Heir to the Throne" as an example so there might be some image-pathes or something else...

[zookeeper]

Code: Select all

define=CAMPAIGN_REBIRTH

Code: Select all

#ifdef REBIRTH

See the mismatch?

Code: Select all

first_scenario=01_Slaves_Of_Mankind.cfg

first_scenario= wants the id of a scenario, not a filename.

Also these paths are all wrong:

Code: Select all

icon="userdata/data/add-ons/Ageless_era/images/al-kamija-enchanted-ones/enchanted.png"
path=userdata/data/add-ons/Rebirth/scenarios
{userdata/data/add-ons/Ageless_Era/units}

Look at how other add-ons include files and directories and reference their custom images.

Code: Select all

(userdata/data/add-ons/Rebirth/scenarios}

Code: Select all

(userdata/data/Ageless_Era/_main.cfg}

There's opening parentheses there, not curvy brackets. Also including a _main.cfg is exactly the same as including the directory which contains it, and doing the latter is a better habit.

[Aryvan]

Thank you for your help .-)

I changed everything, but I still get the same error. Maybe the paths are still wrong, but that's how I found them in another main-file...

[zookeeper]

{~add-ons/Rebirth/scenario}

You sure you have your scenario .cfg in that directory?

[Aryvan]

You're right, I made a mistake there...Now I get another error

game_error: unknown unit type: EotF_Star_Shooter

That's the first new era unit I have in the scenario file so I guess I made a mistake with all of them...but I don't know how to correct it.

[Aryvan]

So...the problem is that I don't know how to include the Ageless Era add-on in my campaign.
Is it even possible? Then please tell me how to do it

[monochromatic]

IIRC Ageless era id's always start with AE to make sure they don't get confused with the actual era itself?

[Dixie]

Try looking at how Bad Moon Rising includes Archaic Era, or how Count Kromire includes Era of Myth. And do the sae, but for Ageless.

[Aryvan]

Thanks for your replies

Actually I already tried to look at Kromire and the Era of Myths. This era has an extra document which explains how to add it to a campaign...But this file doesn't exist for the Ageless Era and when I'm trying to do it myself, I don't get any results, so the unit_types are still not recognized...

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem like Aryvan - this bug with 'Unknown scenario:dawn01'. I looked at the other campaigns, tried to do it as was said in wiki and i don`t know what to do :/ Here`s the source code of _main.cfg file anda part of scenario code.

Code: Select all

[textdomain]
    name="wesnoth-Snow"
	# translations directory path
#    path=""
[/textdomain]

[campaign]
	#textdomain wesnoth-Snow
	id=13
	name= _ "Snow"
	abbrev= _ "Snow"
	define=CAMPAIGN_SNOW

#	icon= 
#	description= _ ""
	difficulties=NORMAL

	first_scenario=dawn_01
	
#ifdef CAMPAIGN_SNOW
	{~add-ons/Snow/macros}
	[+units]
    {~add-ons/Snow/units}
	{~add-ons/Snow/units/orcs-steppe}
	{~add-ons/Snow/units/goblins-steppe}
	{~add-ons/Snow/units/humans}
	[/units]
	{~add-ons/Snow/scenarios}
#endif

[/campaign]

Code: Select all

id=dawn_01
	next_scenario=x

	name=Dawn of War
	map_data="{~add-ons/Snow/maps/01_dawn.map}"
	turns=18

Thanks for help.

[monochromatic]

Your WML is messed up. I'd say try to download Dead Water from the 1.8 add-on server and change _main.cfg and the first scenario to suit your liking. I'm not seeing an error that might have triggered the unknown scenario error, but the code is a mess. You might want to rewrite a good bit of it, having standard indentation and proper syntax. As I said, use Dead Water as a guide. In doing that you'll probably either fix the error or the error will reveal itself.

One question though: are your scenarios really in add-ons/Snow/scenarios?

[Wakkawakka]

Yes, I have the scenario in add-ons/Snow/scenarios folder. Thanks for advices, I`ll try to fix it.

[EDIT] Nothing helps :/, source code from _main:

Code: Select all

[textdomain]
    name="wesnoth-Snow"
	path="data/add-ons/Snow/translations"
[/textdomain]

#textdomain wesnoth-Snow

Hi Guys im having the same issue, been trying to fix it for 2 days now, no point in my continuing with a campaign if i cant get the basics down :-/

      		[/objective]
    	[/objectives]
  	[/event]
  	
  	[/scenario]
	

I know the scenario isnt complete but surely it should at least load with all this info. if anyone can figure out where im going wrong please tell me ) and yes 01_The_Escape.cfg is in /scenarios directory

[Reepurr]

Zandorius...
The scenario isn't complete? You forgot to mention that the main.cfg isn't complete either. Your main.cfg is a DISASTER!

I'll explain this in bits, so that you can learn from your mistakes and make your coding actually work in the future.


First of all, you shouldn't say it has easy, medium and hard and then not tell it what easy, medium and hard settings are. When we coders make a campaign, we must give it 1-4 of the 4 options: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD and NIGHTMARE. Then, we must make strange macro settings for each one. Adapt this to your needs:

Code: Select all

difficulty_descriptions={MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/fencer.png~RC(magenta>red)"( _ "Fencer") (_ "(Novice)")} + ";*" + {MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/duelist.png~RC(magenta>red)"( _ "Duelist") (_ "(Normal)")} +
    ";" +
    {MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/master-at-arms.png~RC(magenta>red)" (_ "Master at Arms") (_ "(Expert)")}

Then we come to another problem. Hashes (#) are dev ways of making comments. If you put a hash at the front of a line, Wesnoth doesn't read the line. Fix:

Code: Select all

icon="units/human-loyalists/fencer.png~RC(magenta>green)"
description= _ " "

Also, I may be wrong but as far as I understand binary paths do NOT go inside ifdefs. Put it just below the textdomain.


And now, onto the scenario!
Does it really only have one difficulty level? Easy -> Medium -> Hard difficulties must be included using this macro (if you want the easy approach):

Code: Select all

{TURNS 10 11 12}

This code makes it so that if you play on Easy, it's 10 turns, Medium 11, and so on.

Delete the [story] tags; if you don't have [part]s inside it may cause a bug and stop it from being a scenario.

Finally, your rubbish sides. The team_name is special for the game; you also need a user_team_name which is what the player sees. Unrenamable=yes is unneeded - it's a leader, it comes as standard. You don't need to specify gender either. Thugs come in all of one variety: male and male.

Code: Select all

   [side]
      type=Thug
      name = _ "Ben"
      id=Ben
      canrecruit=no
      unrenamable=yes
      side=1
      controller=human
      {GOLD 0 0 0}
      team_name=Benandco
      user_team_name= _ "Ben and co"

   [/side]
   
   [side]
      type=Orcish Leader
      name = _ "Krakk"
      id=Krakk
      canrecruit=no
      side=2
      controller=ai
      {GOLD 0 0 0}
      team_name= Krakks Krew
      user_team_name= _ "Krakks Krew"
   [/side]

If that doesn't do anything, I've missed something important. That or you didn't actually put your scenario.cfg into the scenario folder.

Really? It wasn't a disaster at all for me... In fact, all the problems you listed below have nothing to do with the problem!

First of all, you shouldn't say it has easy, medium and hard and then not tell it what easy, medium and hard settings are. When we coders make a campaign, we must give it 1-4 of the 4 options: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD and NIGHTMARE. Then, we must make strange macro settings for each one. Adapt this to your needs:

difficulty_descriptions={MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/fencer.png~RC(magenta>red)"( _ "Fencer") (_ "(Novice)")} + ";*" + {MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/duelist.png~RC(magenta>red)"( _ "Duelist") (_ "(Normal)")} +
    ";" +
    {MENU_IMG_TXT2 "units/human-loyalists/master-at-arms.png~RC(magenta>red)" (_ "Master at Arms") (_ "(Expert)")}

Actually I believe you don't need this. Although it is nice to have, you don't need it. It'll simply just have EASY, NORMAL, and HARD on the difficulty screen.

Then we come to another problem. Hashes (#) are dev ways of making comments. If you put a hash at the front of a line, Wesnoth doesn't read the line. Fix:

Code: Select all

icon="units/human-loyalists/fencer.png~RC(magenta>green)"
description= _ " "

Quite obviously he doesn't want an icon/description at the moment, as he is only testing. Using # is a nice way as it keeps the tags there but won't read it.

Also, I may be wrong but as far as I understand binary paths do NOT go inside ifdefs. Put it just below the textdomain.

Actually, the [binary_path] does go inside the #ifdef. It's the #textdomain that doesn't belong in [campaign] but outside the entire tag.

And now, onto the scenario!
Does it really only have one difficulty level? Easy -> Medium -> Hard difficulties must be included using this macro (if you want the easy approach):

Code: Select all

{TURNS 10 11 12}

This code makes it so that if you play on Easy, it's 10 turns, Medium 11, and so on.

Look up TSoG. Doing one difficulty is really nice so it's easier to balance until the campaign is finish, in which then the other difficulties are added.

Delete the [story] tags; if you don't have [part]s inside it may cause a bug and stop it from being a scenario.

Finally, your rubbish sides. The team_name is special for the game; you also need a user_team_name which is what the player sees. Unrenamable=yes is unneeded - it's a leader, it comes as standard. You don't need to specify gender either. Thugs come in all of one variety: male and male.

Code: Select all

   [side]
      type=Thug
      name = _ "Ben"
      id=Ben
      canrecruit=no
      unrenamable=yes
      side=1
      controller=human
      {GOLD 0 0 0}
      team_name=Benandco
      user_team_name= _ "Ben and co"

   [/side]
   
   [side]
      type=Orcish Leader
      name = _ "Krakk"
      id=Krakk
      canrecruit=no
      side=2
      controller=ai
      {GOLD 0 0 0}
      team_name= Krakks Krew
      user_team_name= _ "Krakks Krew"
   [/side]

If that doesn't do anything, I've missed something important. That or you didn't actually put your scenario.cfg into the scenario folder.

In my experience, even leaders can be renamable unless they have unrenameable=yes. But I'm not sure on that.

The reason I believe to causing the error is that the files are not where you defined them.
