How to Upload a Custom Scenario in Sea Power

[EODJOKER]

Hello, after great frustration I figured out how to upload custom scenereos. This video is all of the information I learned along that journey in one place. I hope this helps someone out!

Thank you this really helped. Not quite there but do have a better understanding

Thanks so much for posting this. I've interacted with many modders who don't have their scenarios configured properly to show with an improper title in the mod manager list of 10 random numbers and therefore cannot be accepted and played, or do show with the proper title and can be accepted but still wont show in the Scenario list.

I'm not too computer literate, so it is impossible for me personally to help them much other than notifying them in their mod's comment section it isn't working properly. Having your video to refer them to will be VERY helpful. Perhaps the Devs can make it one of the training tutorials.

Again, thank you.

Anytime!:) If there’s anything else you feel needs a tutorial for this game shoot me a dm(my discord is EODJOKER) and I’d love to work it out! I just bought an AV-1 decoder so I could make more of this stuff and help people out. I’m thinking of addressing custom missions themselves, their limits, and the basics of creating them. Along with doing a sequel to this video, this time going into depth as to what each file name does and how to create packs of missions.

A little thread bumping to help people to properly upload their scenarios on the workshop ;)

How would I do that?💀

You did it already by publishing this video. But apparently a lot of people didn't see it and are uploading unplayable scenarios. I hope the devs will eventually include these explanations in the manual.

Ah, ive gotcha. Me too, figuring it out was not fun there for a few days.

it took me three attempts (and the help of TheHappyYachter) to publish my 1st scenario.
The method required by Sea Power to publish content is rather non-intuitive and it's no wonder that many people find it difficult to do it properly. So, yes, your video is very helpful.

Thank you for the video. I really appreciate it. But the devs really need to understand that this non-intuitive contortionism required to upload missions is severely hampering their Workshop uploads. They built a brilliant, intuitive mission editor, and then hampered it with this ridiculous mess. Hopefully they'll fix this sooner rather than later, because the game is going to rely on user-made missions until the dynamic campaign is up and working, which could be years.

Fully agree with you. But, changing the way the scenarios/mods are uploaded would probably not be an option: it would mean all the scenarios uploaded so far would be broken. But what the devs should do (when they have time) would be to include in the documentation a complete tutorial showing how to properly publish scenarios. Or at least they could just pin this thread.

Yeah, heck I would get it if they didn’t pin this as I’m not too positive about the whole method, but anything would work haha.

OMG what a fussy file structure. Thanks for the video
