Scenario file unpacking

Post by zook08 »

The download page says:

"If this is a zip file then unzip this file directly in the directory where your AdvancedTactics.exe file is located. If this is a .pt2 file then save it in the scenarios directory."

I had some trouble installing a scenario until I realized that what I did was to just copy the zipfile into the /bin folder, then right-click it and select "Extract to folder (filename)". Instead I have to open it and extract everything into the /bin folder, so that graphics goes into /graphics, sound into /sound etc. That's because the file "blah.zip" contains "blah/graphics/", "blah/sound/" and so on.

Wouldn't it be easier to pack scenario files without the extra "blah/" so that I can just unzip everyting directly and with one click?

Or better yet, put all "blah" files in one "scenarios/blah/" subfolder?

A correctly zipped file should contain a graphics/blah folder and a scenario/blah.pt2. graphics need to be in the graphics directory or sub-directory in order to be found.

Your unzipping program wants to create the blah folder. thats usually the default. though not for all unzipping programs. Unless I misundersstand what you're saying.
