Scenarios bug
« on: 17 August 2009, 20:55:24 »
It seems that GAE expect the scenarios to be in a different place to Glest. In Glest they are all in subfolders of the same name as the scenario within the Scenarios folder. This doesn't work with GAE and crashes the program. If you move them all into the Scenarios folder itself, where GAE says it expects them, it appears to work (well at least it's loaded one but I haven't played through) but this then breaks standard Glest.

Should it not work the same as Glest with the scenarios being in the subfolders? Otherwise people are going to get confused and it requires copying (rather than moving) from every single scenario folder to get it working in both.

GAE adds another level of folders for categories instead of being limited by only having folders for tutorials and scenarios.

To make Glest 3.2.2 scenarios work for GAE:
- Cut all the scenarios and paste it in a new file (call it Battle or something)
- Cut the tutorials folder and paste it into the scenarios folder

So you will have:
gae_scenarios/Battle/[scenario folders]
gae_scenarios/Tutorials/[scenario folders]

For reference I'm running Win XP32, Glest 3.2.2 with GAE 0.2.11 using the SS2 version of the executable.

Just tried your method and it doesn't work, same error as before. Seems to be it only looks for files in the Scenario folder and will no check and subfolders. Here's a screenshot of the error to show it's looking in Scenarios when I click on the Scenario button.

Try running 0.2.12 rather than 0.2.11  ;)

That's not been posted on your home page

http://glest.codemonger.org/home_page.php

Can I find it by searching SourchForge? (Actually I see I can, will try it later, just popping out for some food. Not sure I like the changes to their site, maybe once used to it...)
