Installing downloaded user created scenarios

Post by Deanglen »

I downloaded the file of all user scenarios but they won't show up on the list of custom scenarios when I open up the game.
I opened the Zip file into the proper documents file for Windows 7 and the scenarios are there. Do I have to move them to the 'games' folder in FOG? I tried that with one of the game folders, and it didn't show up when I launched the game. I read the other posts about similar questions others have had, but haven't been able to get them to work. Is there a step by step outline to follow? Thanks for your help!

*the custom scenarios have to be in the 'FieldOFGlory Scenarios' folder.
*each scenario must be in its own folder (named after the battle); inside there must be a 'data' folder; inside there must be 4 files (ui, game-fixed, scenario0, scenario1)
*sometimes, depending on the unzip setting, there are two folders named after the battle, one inside the other. you must delete the outer folder. you do that by copying the inner folder first and re-pasting it after the outer folder has been deleted.
*if everything fails, it may have to do with how the big zip file was created in the first place and how it interacts with your unzip program/settings. then, not knowing the settings, all i can think of is you should download the scenarios individually.
