Scourge of War Boards

Try deleting ScenarioEditor.ini file in the Documents/SowWL folder if you have not already tried.

I only just started to test out SDK late last night and found that after running the .exe I was unable to run it again with the Warning-SOW ScenarioEditor Failed With A System Argument Exception And +Illegal Character In Path+ on my screen!

After trial and error I found that if I remove the ScenarioEditor.ini file the editor loads ok, the only problem is I have to do this each and every time for the .exe to run

At least it's a workaround until the developers can sort it out for me.

Hope this helps other players if they are having difficulties.

Nice to see your problem was sorted Saddletank

Thanks xray, that works as you say, a bit of a pain, but sure the devs will find a solution.

Please attach a copy of the 'bad' ini so I can reproduce the problem. Thanks.

As requested please find attached file.

xray

Xray,
Looks like the file didn't attach. Please try again. You may need to zip it. If you can't get it to work, PM me and I will give you an email address to send to.

Second attempt

As I suspected, mods with accent marks and diacriticals are causing problems:
modname4=Mods\Monta?a Sagrada WL
modname5=Mods\R?o Espa?ol Map WL

The ini file text encoding currently does not support these characters. We will fix this, but for the moment, use this workaround:

Delete the ScenarioEditor.ini
Remove the problem mods or rename them to remove the accent marks.

Thanks pakfront, that worked.

Cheers pakfront,sorted!
