WWI Mod: Storm of Steel

I still had to copy the directory wesnoth/fonts/ to Storm_of_Steel/fonts/ (if I didn't, I could play, but no text appeared anywhere), but other than that it seems to work correctly. I can't figure out how anything works in-game, but... at least it starts.

Gah, of course. I forgot that one. Thanks for spotting it, uploading a version that has the fonts/ dir now.

When I try loading it that way, Wesnoth keeps trying to treat it as a campaign/scenario to be installed. "You have dragged a file onto Battle for Wesnoth. Do you want to install this file as a user campaign?" etc etc. Any way around that? I've been trying for ages now.

That's what you want to do, IIRC - install it as a user campaign/scenario. The only difference is how you load it when you actually start the game. Though maybe I'm wrong.

....PWNT! Figured out how to do it now.

For anyone using Mac OS 10.4 and having trouble, you basically do the command line thing (<insert path to BfW here> <insert path to SoS here>) except for one difference: the path to BfW isn't the path to the .app file, because that's a package. It's the path to the file WITHIN the package (under Contents/MacOS).

I'll test it out now.

EDIT: Okay, next problem. Now it won't let me load any maps while in SoS. Assuming "Hotseat Game" is how I'm supposed to test it...

What do you mean? You're not supposed to load anything, you're supposed to choose from the two you should have there.

Yeah. It won't let me open those maps either. First, when I select either of those maps, the OK button is disabled and where it should show the map and say "Players: 2" or somesuch, it just says "Error". To open it without using the OK button, I double-click the map, but then it brings me to the standard pre-game screen except that all color options show up as "INVALID COLOR" and and attempting to start the map comes up with an error: "The game map could not be loaded: Illegal character found in map. The scenario cannot be loaded."

As you made a post in the Ideas board and linked to this thread, just thought I should mention I'm still having this problem. v_V
