Unknown Scenario Error

Emasher · Post by **Emasher** » February 24th, 2007, 9:33 pm

i'm trying to make my first campaign but for some reason when i try to play it (i can get up to the point of selecting dificulty) i gives me an error code saying that the scenario is unknown

any ideas

here's my code

Well, you either don't have the first scenario anywhere or it is messed up in some way (in which case you need to post the scenario file and preferably verify what directory it's in and under what filename).

You also don't need two identical [binary_path]s. Check this thread for explanations if you wish (although this is a very minor issue at this point, so you'll probably not want to spend too much energy on it if it doesn't seem trivial).

what do you mean post it

It's probably a typo in first_scenario=, or in id= for the first scenario. I notice that you wrote first_scenario=kanglan_invaders-1, while the proper spelling would be knalgan.

i misspelled knalgan every where so thats not the problem

Well the last occurence of kanglan is misseplled as: kangl_i_an, might be an issue?

how could i have missed that

edit: that probably saved me trouble later but didn't solve the problem here's my scenario file if it helps

note the scenario tag got cut off

Possible problem:

Code: Select all

description=???

Perhaps you should give him a name.

But a real problem is the way you import maps. Perhaps try:

Code: Select all

map_data="{@campaigns/the_journey_north/Kanglian_invaders_map}"

No, it's the lack of user_description.

Code: Select all

user_description= _ "???"

Stupid me. I hadn't seen that post just earlier. I'll delete my other thread soon if I don't get my answer here.

You don't need a user description. But I'm not sure question marks are treated validly. For example, question marks in scenario names cause certain errors.

the question marks are in the description of the enemy character

though i changed them and that wasn't the problem

Did you try the map code I posted? Also try putting the name in quotes (name="Scenario 1")

Don't know does it have bigger meaning, but you have a typo in both of your binary path names

camaigns should be campaigns (missing P)
and
the_journey_noth should be the_journey_north (missing R)

well i fixed the typos and that didn't make a difference.

i nothiced that the older version of the game that i'm using to use stuff that dosen't work in 1.3.1 (aka this campaign) isn't 1.2.2 its 1.1.13

could this be making a diference
