The game is deleting my custom scenarios made in Atlas scenario editor

[willbont]

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well, I've recently found an issue that wasn't happening before. I've made a few scenarios on the in game Atlas scenario editor, and I was being able to open and work freely on them these past days. Suddenly, when I tried opening the files, the editor told me they couldn't be found. The weird thing is, when I opened my Skirmish folder on the maps section of the 0 a.d folder (in the application support folder), they're all there, yet the game doesn't recognise them. Is there a fix? I'm playing Delenda Est v0.26.0 but I've also tried the new version and the same thing happens. Does anyone know why it happens?

Welcome to the forum  I think your maps might have been lost by the update. We are currently on A27 but you talk about A26, which is the alpha before. It's possible that the engine just ignores the maps made for the older releases because of compatibility issue. If you downgrade back to A26 with Delenda Est, you should be able to find them working again.  

 

Also I don't know what is "application support folder". Normally, your custom maps are stored in your mods/user/

 

Alternatively, you can try to port them to A27. You might need to edit the json or js or xml files and replace all mentions of version 26 with 27. But this is risky as some entities might have been deleted in the new version.

@SeleucidsHey there, how are you? I see, it's just strange that I had both files, the updated one and the old version (literally 2 different files as if they were 2 different games) and was able to open these custom scenarios freely on Delenda (A26), and had no issues up until this point. The files are there (mods/user/maps/skirmishes), but the game is not recognising them fo some reason. I tried deleting A26 and repeating the editing process on new files, same thing happens.
