Please add support for distribution/download of network scenarios

[tomreyn]

Titi and I were trying to create a network scenario and test it. He was hosting and did not pass the scenario to me. I connected to his server and got a repeating on-screen message which matches the first error described on standard output/error. Then Titi started the game and I got more errors which are also contained in the terminal output:

    I realized also that I have one more line I think that is my error in pulse audio, I'm having problems with it here, not sure if this is related to my error in pulse audio, my megaglest closes alone. thank you

[tomreyn]

Summing up: download of network scenarios does not currently work and there is no error handling, yet. However, it does work when both players have the files available.

[softcoder]

Yes this is known, no code was added to download network scenarios as of yet.
