Lua importing .inst is looking at the wrong path

ERROR: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Command Modern Air Naval Operations\GameMenu_CMANO\ImportExport\
well yeah, because my Command folder doesn't have a "gamemenu_cmano" subfolder...
Would creating the folder and stuffing all the game folders into it screw anything up?
edit: oh hey it does, it just only has a Lua folder, autoplay, and a copy of the executables and .dlls. Weird.

Could you please post the Lua code you used? That is key in troubleshooting this.

Code: Select all
x = math.random(1,3)
if x == 1 then
ScenEdit_ImportInst('India', 'Viraat CVBG-North.inst')
elseif x == 2 then
ScenEdit_ImportInst('India', 'Viraat CVBG-West.inst')
else
ScenEdit_ImportInst('India', 'Viraat CVBG-East.inst')
end
Ultimately I fixed it by copying and pasting the import/export folder to the gamemenu_cmano folder. Doesn't seem to have adversely affected anything.

Do you have the scenario to attach here?
Normal location of that folder is off the game installed folder, regardless of Matrix or Steam version, I would have thought.
Might be interesting to see if it works on the Matrix install.

Tried a quick test on Matrix version and save an import as 'test.inst' in the expect folder C:\Matrix Games\Command Modern Air Naval Operations\ImportExport
1. ran a test from console and no error showed
ScenEdit_ImportInst('India', 'test.inst')
2. Tried it again with a different name and got expected error
ScenEdit_ImportInst('India', 'test2.inst')
ERROR: Could not find file 'C:\Matrix Games\Command Modern Air Naval Operations\ImportExport\test2.inst'.
Imports should be coming from the <game installed folder>\ImportExport as shown.
Not sure why Steam would be expecting a different folder.[&:]
