Downloaded battles not appearing in menu

Post by Nakedcelt »

I've downloaded two from here - Pinkie and Telamon - I can see both of them in the folder directory but neither are appearing in-game.

Running latest version on Windows 7 - really speaking this is the only major issue I've come across - any ideas?

Sorry I don't know what this might be - all bugs are on hold till the Unity update comes out which will hopefully be in March.

Not the answer I was hoping for but I understand the priorities - hopefully another user may have an idea

So you see the folder "Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, 1547" and not the file "Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, 1547 PWv4" in your Libraries\Documents\Slitherine\FieldOfGlory Scenarios folder?

If I understood your problem correctly, it may be the one that I encountered myself.

Inside the unzipped game folder there should be a subfolder titled 'data'. This subfolder should contain all the game files. If there is no data subfolder and there are just game files inside the folder, the game will not pop up in the game menu when you run FoG. When this happens with most (not all) of my downloads, I just right-click to Create Folder. I place it as a subfolder inside the game folder and I rename the new subfolder 'data'. Then I drag the game files into that data subfolder. After that the game comes up in the game menu. (My games are downloaded as zip folders first.)

Hope that was it and that this will be helpful to you. :)

Hi - thanks for the suggestion but both downloads already have subfolders named data.

Cancel that last message - in actual fact the two battles in question weren't in that folder when I double checked - all sorted now so thanks all for your input!
