im not sure if this is the right part of the whole forum to ask but ill give it a go, im trying to make my own scenario and it works mostly but when i go to play it it fails halfway through loading the level i made a scenario and done the deployments for it but it just wont work :frowning:

Youā€™re in the right area. Welcome to Modsville. :stuck_out_tongue:

Please describe the exact problem symptoms in detail. It would also be helpful if you posted the entire text document that has the code for your self-made scenario. Perhaps one of our leaned members could offer a few helpful pointers if we could see ā€œunder the hood,ā€ so to speak. When you do that, be sure to use the ā€œCODEā€ button for correctly formatting that part of your forum post!

Jeezā€¦I sound like a doctor. ā€œTake 2 aspirin and call me in the morning!ā€ [-chuckle-] Seriously, kudos for being brave enough to ask for help. Itā€™s how weā€™ve learned to bend and morph this great game to our will. :smiley:

sorry i was in the bath, right urmm i shall attach the 2 things i made for it and i shall tell you their directories one is in the scenarios and the other in deployments and i made sure it was the one with all the other scenarios :l and now apparently the extension txt is not allowed so i can attach them :l

4

you can post the contents of the modded files actually in a forum post here thoughā€¦

well it didnt let me eariler i shall try againā€¦ nope just keeps saying in red writing above ā€œthe extension txt is not allowed.ā€ so ill just copy and paste the f**ker
