AOE3 Forums

HELP

Please read my topic and the FAQs carefully.
They explain the differences between CUSTOM MAPS and CUSTOM SCENARIOS.
As I understood, you just created a custom scenario with the AOE3 scenario editor. This game currently does not support custom scenarios for playing online, yet, unfortunately.
Maybe in April 2006 - 'I remember they (ES) said this before ...

Hey Monty,
I have tried to modify some of the premade maps(saving them under my own name). but I can't get them to show up where you select the map that you want to play. I can get some custom maps that my cousin made to work perfectly but if i try to modify one and move it to the RM folder right next to my cousin's it still doesn't show up. It doesn't even acknowledge that they are there. I am using Notepad, I know i am saving it in the right spot but they dont show up. Do you know why that is and any suggestions? I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
~bloomwrestler~

hey monty,

is there a way to access some help for the functions in using the console?
i have read that i think that for age of mythology it was possible but never tried it

many thanks.....

With all the questions guys are asking about this subject lately...It may be a good thing to have this thread on page one?!.

Hello all,
sorry for my longer absence.

When you edit maps, you should rename both *xs and *xml file and MOVE it to the Custom Documents Directory of AOE3,
usually 'C:/My Documents/My Name/My Games/Microsoft Games/AOE3/RM" - it is NOT the program directory.
All other informations you can find in the FAQs of my tutorial page (just check the topic).

Maybe there is a way, but I also have not found it yet to separately enter it. The main - and best -
help you will get when you correctly enable the XS debugger. Unfortunately, but also luckily when
you just have a mistake in your script ;)

Yes, this would be very useful for newcomers. Though I cannot answer any reply here in a shot time, I am sure that other experienced map designers can also help out here. This would be nice :)

Thanks again for the replies.

This should realy be a sticky, i've seen at least two people make new topics asking how to make a custom map.

Oh and Monty thanks for the tutorial.

Yes, it is finally sticky now.
Thanks go to ES_Thunder and all who asked for it.

I may have missed this, but how do you play a custom scenario?

Quoted from the Topic of THIS thread:
"Custom Map and Scenario FAQs: ...
Q: Can I play my custom scenarios online?
A: Not yet. You will have to wait for a game patch with a version higher than 1.06 - or maybe just in the AOE3 extension (but this would really be a shame - especially for Ensemble Studios)."

Well that doesn't really answer my question...
So is there NO way to play a ustom scenario?
