Oceola Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi everyone, Can someone tell me what a subject popup means and how to resolve it? It happens with some of the scenarios, I'm using latest SP PRO PE version. Many thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jartsev Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 In particular case scenario file name contains non-ASCII character 'Ü' in 'Rübenberge', and this is why SB cannot open file. So to fix the issue you just need to rename file(in Windows Explorer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 25, 2020 Members Share Posted August 25, 2020 We used to support non ASCII characters, but that turned later out to be a serious problem with other important stuff, so we had to abandon it. Which, unfortunately, creates this kind of problem now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 @Panzer_Leader FYSA. May require a renaming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm due to update this scenario to 4.167 standard soon (when I get to it, I've been diverted from Steel Beasts recently) so will remove the problematic character from the file name then. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 are you sure the issue isn't the / on the end... if this is a folder structure the total name length may be too long!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceola Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks to all replied, renaming worked! Another issue though, please see attached. And yet another question - some scenarios require certain maps, which nowhere to be found, not in my old 4.023 installation and literally nowhere... In 4.023 it was possible to extract a map from a scenario, looks like it's possible no more with 4.1xxx. Maybe someone has a workaround?

DarkAngel Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Did you install the map downloading tool? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceola Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes, I did, and ran it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 26, 2020 Members Share Posted August 26, 2020 The user manual and several help threads explain the background of this. Ideally, the original authors of a scenario would convert their custom map to the new format and publish it as a delta map. If that doesn't happen, you either must replace the map with something "similar" or extract the map data from the original scenario and convert it yourself. and 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance This is why I mentioned it to the Author since I noticed it was a 4.023 version.
