How to load new scenarios
 

Hello

I'm having difficulty loading new scenario's in Winspmbt. I don't know what the proper procedure for doing so is and I can't find any articles telling me how too. I tried posting on the scenarios forum but I never got a response. I don't know if I'm breaking the rules of the forum asking here. Can someone please point me in the right direction

Thanks
Scott

I have done exactly what the manual tells me with several scenarios and get the same message

"Save game failed to load"

Do I need the CD version to load Third Party scenarios?

You mean third party user scenarios posted on Scenarios forum? There shouldn't be any problem... Are you sure you're unpacking all files in each download into the "scenaio" folder? There should be at the very least .dat and .cmt file, usually there is also .txt, these all need to be int he Scenarios folder.

Thank you for replying

I followed these instructions

for this scenario
IDF vs. Hezbollah guerilla (08/2006)

To play a scenario, copy the posted files to the "Scenarios" folder of your WinSPMBT install. There should be at least 2 files named spscnxyz.cmt, .dat and .txt. The "xyz" stands for 3 figures which give the scenario number in the in-game scenario list. The .txt file is optional.

the following is only for scenarios using custom game files like this one.
In the case of the present scenario, there are also custom files required for the scenario to work, and these are already in their folders copy the .lbm files into your "WinSPMBT\Game Data\Pictures" folder, and the .obf files into "WinSPMBT\Game Data\OOBs\Custom OOBs".

Once this is done, open the game options screen, go to the "utilities" tab, hit "manage OOB sets", then in the selector hit "pick custom OOB set", select the "obat068.obf" that should show up then hit "install".
Here end the guidelines for loading up custom files.

Once you're done, you can open the game proper, scroll the scenario list until you find the number 190 "The infamous Wadi Salouki", click on the name, hit "start", and you're gone.

If you need further help on how to play a scenario, better turn towards the game manual.

I have tried several times and tried with 2 other scenarios with the same result.

Could it be my installation?

Well, you can do no harm by reinstalling IMO http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Try it then again and you'll see...
