Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I would really apreciate if someone could tell me how to install downloaded Blades of Exile scenarios.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just put the .exs file (and the .bmp or .meg file, if there is one) in your scenarios folder. The scenarios folder is called BLADSCEN on Windows, or "Blades of Exile Scenarios" on Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Uuuh, they are already in there. What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Run Blades of Exile, select custom scenario, and play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thank you for your help, but when I do that, only the scenarios that came with the game are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 BTW, I have the registered downloaded version, and I am waiting for the disk to arrive in the mail. I cannot play any custom made scenarios, as well as the downloaded ones. I am really excited to play all of these downloaded scenarios, as the first 3 are getting kinda boring, so I would really apreciate it if someone could help me out here. Thank you in advance.

Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 what kind of help would you want? advice on good scenarios, or just how to complete the downloaded scenarios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Uh, did you not read the thread? Evidently he's not seeing the custom scenarios. Bear in mind that you have to page forward on the list to see scenarios beyond the default. There's an arrow button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 But that's only for Avernum. You'll have to wait for your disk to play custom scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Uh, ben, what are you talking about? He already HAS the registered version -- he downloaded the registered version off SW's passworded secure-download site for registered users. He's only waiting for the disk so that he can use the fancy manual and stuff. And you DO still need to page through the list of scenarios to see more than the first few scenarios on BoE as well as BoA. Also, resmc157, are you sure that you're clicking "Custom Scenario" and not "Start Scenario"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read the thread, but I went under the assumption that his problem was solved and that he waited for his disk to come, so he can play the game.

Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 No arrow appearing. I suppose I will just have to wait for my CD. Thank you all for responding anyway. BTW, I'm a she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have now recieved and installed the BoE from the CD, and moved all of the scenarios to the new "Bladescen" folder, yet they still do not appear in the game. Someone please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Do these things need to be unzipped? Never done BoE, so I'm just asking... *this message sponsored by pk* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 All of the scenarios are unzipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Make sure that there aren't any files other than .exs and appropriate graphic files (.bmp for Windows, .meg for Mac) in the scenario folder. A friend of mine had a similar problem to yours, and found he'd inadvertently put a scenario readme file in the scenarios folder; once he removed it, the custom scenario selection dialog worked fine.

Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes, i do have some readme files in there. Update: I have moved all of the text and readme files to a new folder. Problem still remains. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Which scenarios in particular have you installed and where did you download them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 All of the downloads that i have are from the SpiderwebSoftware site. Here they are (their file names, anyways): -Algiers -Amazon -ATUA -Avalon -bandits -bladeinn -Composit -divine -DoomMoon -Dream -emulate -falling -gramoon -johnnoy -legerika -nephgamb -newlife -nightmar -qos -quintpc -redem -slavers -truffle -Under -wheel -zmistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Try removing a few scenarios. The scenario selection dialog doesn't work right if there are more than 20 or so scenarios in your folder. Yes, this is incredibly annoying.

Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Okay, i will try. Question: Do I remove the unzipped file, or the zip file or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 You shouldn't have any zip files in your scenarios folder in the first place (so if there are any in there, certainly remove them). Move the .exs and graphic files to another folder until there are fewer than 20 left and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 What about ".meg" files? or ".gif" files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish resmc157 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Update: It works!! They actually appear now on the menu!!!! Thank you all so much for your advice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 .meg files are graphics in Macintosh format; you only need them if you're using a Mac. .gif files are included so that you can make your own graphics file if the included one isn't working. If you're using Windows, you should remove all of both file types from your scenarios folder. EDIT: You're welcome. I'm glad you managed to get BoE working properly; there really are some great scenarios out there. Check out the Lyceum\'s Comprehensive Scenario Rankings for more detailed scenario reviews than you'll find at Spiderweb (but be warned that the highest-rated scenarios over there tend to be rather difficult for beginners).
