Problems with my scenario!

[BlackJack25]

Hey, I'm having some problems with a scenario which I created. Naturally I put the scenario in a campaign folder in userdata, following the tutorial, but when I start the campaign in the game, an error appears:"Unknown Scenario". I'm pretty sure that all the id are the same, so I don't know why I have this error. Here is the scenario:

Code: Select all

[scenario]
    id=First_Night
    name= _ "First Night"
    next_scenario=null
    victory_when_enemies_defeated=yes

      name= _ "Sauron"
      canrecruit=yes

      #ifdef EASY
       recruit=Orcish Archer,Orcish Grunt,Wolf Rider,Orcish Assassin,Goblin Spearman
      #endif
   
      {GOLD 100 50 0}
      {INCOME 10 5 0}
    [/side] 
[/scenario]

As you can see, it's very simple, like a skirmish match, but I'm at the beginning. Thank you ^^

I'm not sure what tutorial you're following but in general I find the best way to get scenarios to work is to start with one that already does and modify it slowly until it is what you want.

I don't see anything wrong here, it might be somewhere in the rest of the infrastructure.

On a second note, you might want to make it so that the enemy force does not get smaller as the difficulty increases.

[BlackJack25]

I used the tutorial of the wiki. Maybe, since it is outdated, there are some errors. Anyone else?

[Velensk]

The errors are most likely not due to the wiki being outdated (they really ought to remove those tags).

Maybe if you attach the whole project (rather than just the one scenario file) it would be more possible to help you.

[Max]

you probably messed up with your main.cfg and failed to include your scenarios.
As Velensk said: zip your campaing and attach it...

[Crendgrim]

Just a quick note: On difficulties other than EASY the orcish warlord won't recruit anything.
Also, be sure not to use copyrighted names ("Sauron"), because else you won't be able to publish this.

This is the campaign. It is a little confused but I will fix it later. Tell me just why I can't start the first scenario. Thank you ^^

Code: Select all

@Crendgrim: Don't worry about the name of the Warlord, it is temporary. I will fix later the difficulties, too.

[Max]

Code: Select all

[campaign]
name= _ "Battles and Wizards I"
first_scenario=First_Night
difficulties=EASY,NORMAL,HARD
 
difficulty_descriptions= _ "&elvish-fighter.png=Easy;&elvish-hero.png=Medium;&elvish-champion.png=Hard"
icon=elvish-fighter.png
[/campaign]

you didn't include your scenarios at all...

[BlackJack25]

What it means? O.o

[LightWarrior]

You must write path to folder (or what is right word? oh, my bad english...) with scenarios cfg files. Also you must write path to folders with images, units, etc. Look other campaign's _main.cfg.

[BlackJack25]

I followed other campaigns' _main.cfg and I correct mine:

Code: Select all

[campaign]
    id=Battles_and_Wizards_I
    name= _ "Battles and Wizards I"
    abbrev= _ "BaWI"
    define=CAMPAIGN_BATTLES_AND_WIZARDS_I
    first_scenario=01_First_Night
    difficulties=EASY,NORMAL,HARD
    difficulty_descriptions= _ "&elvish-fighter.png=Easy;&elvish-hero.png=Medium;&elvish-champion.png=Hard"
    icon="data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\images\units\human-magi\silver-mage.png"
    description= _ "Porta alla vittoria la gilda dei Guardiani capitanati da Kaltan contro gli Orchi delle Montagne.

" + _"(Livello Novizio, x scenari.)"
[/campaign]

#ifdef CAMPAIGN_BATTLES_AND_WIZARDS_I
[binary_path]
    path=data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I
[/binary_path]

{data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\utils}
{data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\scenarios}
[+units]
    {data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\units}
[/units]

#endif

But now it give me another error: Macro/file 'data\add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\utils is missing at ~add-ons\Battles_and_Wizards_I\_main.cfg:20
How can I fix that?

[monochromatic]

First of all, change your \'s to /'s. Not everyone has a PC.
Also, it looks like you copied from a mainline cfg. Download A Simple Campaign from the add-on server and edit that. It's a much better tutorial and anything else.

[BlackJack25]

@monochromatic: Thank's for the tip. But I can't understand what you mean with "change your \'s to /'s O.o

[Crendgrim]

You're using the bad, bad, bad Windows-like backslashes \ in your path names, instead of the slashs / used in most other OSs.

Please read your PMs! Useful hint concerning colors in signatures!

The simple campaign add-on works, thank's to everyone
