Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 2 2005 16:36 Profile Homepage #1 Just put the .exs file (and the .bmp or .meg file, if there is one) in your scenarios folder. The scenarios folder is called BLADSCEN on Windows, or "Blades of Exile Scenarios" on Mac. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

resmc157 Apprentice Member # 6442	written Wednesday, November 2 2005 18:52 Profile #4 Thank you for your help, but when I do that, only the scenarios that came with the game are there. Posts: 32 \| Registered: Tuesday, November 1 2005 08:00
resmc157 Apprentice Member # 6442	written Sunday, November 6 2005 08:36 Profile #5 BTW, I have the registered downloaded version, and I am waiting for the disk to arrive in the mail. I cannot play any custom made scenarios, as well as the downloaded ones. I am really excited to play all of these downloaded scenarios, as the first 3 are getting kinda boring, so I would really apreciate it if someone could help me out here. Thank you in advance.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, November 6 2005 10:35 Profile Homepage #7 Uh, did you not read the thread? Evidently he's not seeing the custom scenarios.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, November 6 2005 14:35 Profile Homepage #9 Uh, ben, what are you talking about? He already HAS the registered version -- he downloaded the registered version off SW's passworded secure-download site for registered users. He's only waiting for the disk so that he can use the fancy manual and stuff. And you DO still need to page through the list of scenarios to see more than the first few scenarios on BoE as well as BoA. Also, resmc157, are you sure that you're clicking "Custom Scenario" and not "Start Scenario"?

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 15:50 Profile Homepage #17 Make sure that there aren't any files other than .exs and appropriate graphic files (.bmp for Windows, .meg for Mac) in the scenario folder. A friend of mine had a similar problem to yours, and found he'd inadvertently put a scenario readme file in the scenarios folder; once he removed it, the custom scenario selection dialog worked fine. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

resmc157 Apprentice Member # 6442	written Thursday, November 10 2005 16:39 Profile #18 Yes, i do have some readme files in there. Update: I have moved all of the text and readme files to a new folder. Problem still remains. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. Posts: 32 \| Registered: Tuesday, November 1 2005 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 17:31 Profile Homepage #21 Try removing a few scenarios. The scenario selection dialog doesn't work right if there are more than 20 or so scenarios in your folder. Yes, this is incredibly annoying. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
resmc157 Apprentice Member # 6442	written Thursday, November 10 2005 17:43 Profile #22 Okay, i will try. Question: Do I remove the unzipped file, or the zip file or both? Posts: 32 \| Registered: Tuesday, November 1 2005 08:00
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 10 2005 17:45 Profile Homepage #23 You shouldn't have any zip files in your scenarios folder in the first place (so if there are any in there, certainly remove them). Move the .exs and graphic files to another folder until there are fewer than 20 left and try again.
