Scenarios don't appear in my campaign list after download

Post by cbssecman »

The BA2 Kursk update wiped out all the forum content that I had downloaded, which I understand, but now when I download my own scenarios from Dropbox onto my iPad, they don't appear in my campaign list. I paste in the link, I get a successful download notification, but when I switch to the campaign list to look for the scenario, it's not there. These are multi-player scenarios, if that makes a difference, but they aren't appearing as options for solo play either (just in case you were about to ask me if I forgot to use the multiplayer code in my .LST file...)
Any help?
Thanks
CB

it shouldnt have removed anything. Pasting in a link only adds the campaigns to the list in the download screen. if you cannot see them in that list you already have them. Are you sure you just dont need to scroll down in the main campaign screen list to see your downloaded campaigns?

u can also check your my documents/my games/ba2/campaigns folder to see what campaigns you have]

This on my iPad, so I can't check the folders. I downloaded a solo version of the campaign and that showed up just fine on the iPad Campaigns screen. But when I look for the multi-player version that I also downloaded, it doesn't appear on the list of multiplayer campaigns and scenarios: tap "Multiplayer", connect to the server, tap "My Challenges", tap "New Challenges", and the list of the available multiplayer campaigns and their attendant scenarios comes up; I get "Kursk Multiplayer", "Bagration Multiplayer", "Barbarossa Multiplayer", "Kharkov Multiplayer", and "Hill 621", but my own multiplayer scenario that I just downloaded does not appear on the list (and I've scrolled to the end in both directions).

Nothing was deleted on my iPad when I updated, but what appears to have been deleted by the update on my Macbook are all the Great Ajax army lists I downloaded. I think there was a post somewhere that said they would have to be redownloaded if there was an update... They don't show up any more when I click through the army lists in Skirmish mode.

Unless you deleted the app prior to update it shouldn't have affected anything unless you were modding the main data set (which we don't recommend) as eveything lives in ~/Documents/My Games/BBCBA.

Not sure why you are not seeing the downloaded MP missions. The iPad version of BA hasn't changed in a very long time.

I haven't done anything but create scenarios using the tools inside the game, package them up, upload them to Dropbox, and download them to my iPad.

I guess I'll just keep trying and hope it works some day...

MP scenarios will not show up unless you create the CAMPAIGN.TXT file on the desktop before uploading.

Pip,
Forgive my ignorance, but in which folder do I create that CAMPAIGN.TXT file?

In the root folder of your campaign (e.g. My Documents/My Games/BA2/MULTIPLAYER/<my campaign>). You can look at any of the main game install multiplayer campaigns (in the MULTIPLAYER folder) for examples.
