Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War

It is something similar, due to my regional configuration, the "dots" for us are not decimal points but the symbols for thousands (the opposite as you).
I could open the csv as a text file and change the symbols so I got the scenario working, but I need some more practice.
Many thanks.

Hi, I downloaded the generator from the the link on P1 & tried to extract the zip but Winrar gives me errors telling me the zip is broken.

Just keep trying at different times, more users are having problems with downloads from Norbsoftdev in the last couple of weeks.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
No I don't think it is a problem in transferring, the transfer completes OK, what is being sent is corrupt in some way.
I always get the same error when opening the file, no matter how many times I download.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
It is definitely NSDs server and not the file because I just downloaded it and it isn't corrupt. This has been going on at Norbsoft for several weeks now, probably 2 months at least. The file I just downloaded I re-uploaded to my Dropbox account so if you want to try getting it from there:

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Thanks that worked, could this issue be something to do with the file type not being treated by the ftp client as a binary download or a problem in unpacking a file stored in encrypted form, just guessing really...
md5sum on the files downloaded are different.

Bad one - 9322c05dffbab059009981e5af60d31a

Please have a look and tell me if something is not working.
Kind regards

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
If someone could give me positive reply after testing some of the new maps and the viewing in Kevins Replay Viewer, I will release v3.1 on the NSD Forum, too. Thanks

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Does it include Kevin's new France minimap of the Manassas map? This is a great minimap and really ought to be included.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
No, there is no NAP Version of Manassas included yet. Where is that Map?
I dont think it is in the current KS NAP mod or in the Supplemental Maps Mod.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
I've put together 2 of our weekend scenarios with the new version of SG and have had no problems watching them on the replay viewer. I'll send you the new Manassas minimaps. They will be included in the next version of the napy mod and ACW mod.
There is still a problem with the ammo wagons displaying the wrong portrait/flags. Since Mike greatly modified what is displayed on the left side of the toolbar, the default portrait value for the wagons is different for every country.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
I created & played a scenario with the map "NAP Antietam PM (Spain)", that's the description in the Scenario generator. And Kevin's replay viewer crashes when I try to load the replay file.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
I don't think any map name has brackets in. They should all be "Nap_Spain_CulpsHill_RM" format.

I had the same problem with this map "NAP PCL 3 (Austria)".

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Hey Kevin
I used the csv from the Replay Viewer 1.02 and only added NAP Manassas after that. I see the current Version is v1.04
Could that cause those Errors?

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
I built a scenario using the PCL3 (Austria) map and had no problems using the replay viewer. Maybe Pepe started the battle and then quit before any troops moved. That would cause a crash. The program expects at least one unit to move.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
No Kevin the battle was more than 1 hour.
Today I had the same problem with a sandbox game with Random map 6L4 Fortress.
Maybe it has something to do with my regional configuration and the format of excel files.
So if it is just me who has some crushes with the RepViewer don't worry Stephan and thanks again for the generator.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Open the replay file in a text editor. The third line down will be the map name. Is it the same name as the map in the replay viewer?

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Yes I have checked a couple of maps that give me an error with the ReplayViewer and the map name is exactly the same.
I never have a problem with files for our MP games, even the one you uploaded last saturday works fine.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Hi guys
I'd like to hear your opinion about a Change to the Scenario Generator.
New maps are frequently added (like Cold Harbour), and Kevin likes to make a huge amount of map variants with less trees.
This calls for constant maintenance and for family reasons I won't be able to do that in the near months
So I thought I could make the following changes in the next update:
- Allow user to insert new screenshots for new maps
- Allow user to edit the whole map list (and he will need to edit the Excel links to the pictures)
I see 2 possible issues here:
1) Inexperienced excel users might break something and in the end no picture or the wrong picture will show up
2) Each user would have to do map updates for himself.
Would that still make sense?

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
That would be a very good change as you no longer have to worry about updates. I'm sure if people have problems they can rely on folks who are more technically inclined to help.

Re: Scenario Generator for Scourge of War
Would it be a single file for all the maps that would be screwed up? (and a single file for all map updates)
Or would it be a seperate file(s) for each map?
I can see that later being more resilient, although it would require sharing a file or two for each game potentially.
