Where do I zip the scenario files I dl to?

Post by Jergan88 »

I just downloaded this game yesterday. It's great, so I downloaded some scenarios. However, when I unzip them to the Maps folder, I cannot find them in the solitaire play menu. Is there a specific place I should unzip them or is there a place to play loaded scenarios?

Thanks in advance.

You unzip scenarios into the 'scen' folder. There should be 4 files for a scenario: .rec, .dat., .cmt and (usually) a text file. Sometimes its a good idea to look in your 'scen' folder to make sure you don't already have a scenario with the same number...if there is you can simply unzip the scenario to an empty folder and rename the four files with a number not in use, then copy the renamed (renumbered) files into your 'scen' folder.

Jergan,
Tracer's suggestions are correct and should help you.
Just note that, sometimes, scenarios are released with only three files instead of four, without the .rec file, that is.
This is not an issue, and they will work just right, nevertheless.

Campaign zips get extracted into the Campaign directory.
