unknown scenario "scenario_id"

Windows xp:
okay. Cloned Two_Brothers->Dorf

As far as I know, in 1.8.4 you have to copy your campaign to the addon folder:

Example: \Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.4\userdata\data\add-ons

Than it should work. Its the same in 1.8.6 - I just tested that.

You should check wether your campaing has a main.cfg and a starting scenario.


The other option is to upload it to the main campaign folder - but that is not recommended - you better use the addon folder as you can later upload your campaign and share it with other people.

So far so good. Add-ons folder works

still the topic title: unknown scenario: "1_Halthan" happens

<s>Rewriting scenario file from scratch.(delicious copypasta)</s> Rewrote it, nothing changed.

Your includes in both files point to add-ons/Dorf/ (which obviously doesn’t exist) instead of ~add-ons/Dorf/. PreprocessorRef in the wiki explains why the tilde matters under {~filename}.

Many many thanks. It works flawlessly

interestingly this wasn't an issue under ubuntu...

Only on Windows?

Probably not.
I think it's save to assume monokli was confused (sorry). This isn't something where OSes differ.
As far as coding a wesnoth addon goes, the most important and rather the only differences are listed in my ASC:

# windows users:
# Be careful to spell referenced filenames correctly inside of your wml code (capitalization), since windows is case insensitive in that aspect, while other operating systems are case sensitive.
# Always use only forward slashes (/) as separators in paths to files. Only windows is using backslashes (\).
# Both things would cause errors on other operating systems.
# Don't use paths containing the userdata/ folder to reference maps or other files from within your .cfg files. That folder only exists on windows (sometimes, depending on how you installed Battle for Wesnoth).

So there's some stuff to watch out for if one is on a windows system but not if one uses a Linux system.
