Can random battles or custom scenario files be PBEM?

Not at present.

could we submit custom scenarios to the designer for possible additions?

like a "Best of User Created" DLC..

I miss the PBEM option for the community scenarios...

Hi
I do not know if this is a workable solution but as an experiment I copied the user created custom scenario Sint Oedenrode Scream scenario files from the C:/Users/user/valor and victory/custom folder into the, C:/ Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/valor and victory/assets/ scenarios/Normandy American Sector folder. The scenario then came up on the list of multiplayer scenarios and I am currently playing it on multiplayer.

oooh.
Did your opponent need to have a copy of the scenario on their HD as well?

Hi
No he didn't have the scenario Sint Oedenrode Scream scenario but I did and I hosted the multiplayer game. We were able to play the scenario in Multiplayer.
He has got the base game and the Cholm module. I have got all the modules.
I then created a custom scenario myself designed for multiplayer using one of the Russian winter maps and transferred it to the Program files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Valor and Victory/assessts/scenarios/Cholm folder
The scenario was listed in the scenarios available for Multiplayer and we are currently playing it with me as the host player.
The scenario has got stuck a couple of times at the completion of a turn but that could be because the scenario is quite big.
We haven't tried playing a scenario using units or maps yet where he hasn't got the relevant module, like the Pacific module.
One other thing I have shared my steam library with him.

That is cool news...I have a non steam version but I might give it a try.
Tx for sharing!

Hi

If you wish i could host either of the two custom scenarios and see if it works with somebody I am not sharing a steam library with. I could private message you the scenario password. .

Yes that 'd be fun. PM sent.

Hi governato

I have put two versions of the scenario up on Multi player and have PM you the password and scenario name.
The password is the same for both scenarios. In one of the scenarios you play as Axis in the other as Allies.

Games started!
Just to confirm that PBEM with user created scenarios is possible. One just needs to have the same DLCs..

Also it appears that the host player has to place the custom scenario in the scenario folder of the module that you are using maps and units from. For example I put the scenario files of Sint Oedenrode Scream in the Valor and Victory/assets/scenarios/Normandy American Sector folder. The scenario then came up in the list of multiplayer scenarios.
The game I am playing currently against governato is a custom scenario created by me. It is a Russian V German scenario and uses a winter map from the Cholm module. I put the scenario files of the scenario in the Valor and Victory/assets/scenarios/Cholm folder. The scenario then came up in the list of multiplayer scenarios.
