HELP from Scenario Designers

[Larry Reese]

I don't know much about computers, but it seems to me if you added a "2" to the additional files, they are NOT the same and the .scn file wont pick them up.

I added a 2 to all three... and it's worked before.

I thought that as long as a .bte file was generated the scenario could not be altered. And, if you changed all the file names does the scen recognize the old or new org and map files? Did you click to see what org and map files are "attached" to the new scenario name?

The attached files are the correct ones.

you can open the scn file in a text editor and change the line that points to the org filename, rename it and save it. as long as the file is in the same folder as the scn file it "should" load unless encrypting things has made this little back door unusable anymore.

*** edit I just checked it and unless you're literate with how encryption works.. you're SOL.. sorry

Thanks for the attempted assist ;-)

You can change the scenario file name, but can't change the org or map file name unless you know the encryption of the files, as Red Devil says.

CRAP... so, basically I'm screwed? Why was I able to add the units just a few days ago with no problem? Damn...

Here's something to try at your own risk.

create a new scn file with the new filenames, but without any scenario data except the settings and description.

open your original scn file with notepad and copy everything below the 12th line, open the new scn file and paste everything into the new scn file below the 12th line, save and test.

good luck

Thanks Devil, I'll try that out. Thanks to all of you guys, by the way.
