Define what is not working.

Does it say Failed to load map? Is it not showing up on the Main Menu?

Would you mind posting the scenario name you're using in the main menu as well as the one in the map?

ok the scenario name is scenarios\multi\test\test and the name of the actual map is test.map it was ascension. the hex name that i canged is scenarios\multi\test\test0000000000. if thats not what your looking for i can find the other just say where it is.

The scenarios HAVE to match up for it to work. It should be scenarios\multi\test\test in the map's hex, in the mainmenu.map entry, and the map should be named test.map

um hate to say it but it didnt work. i dont know if it matters but i set my own values which are 1000 and 90

Both values need to be the same, and cannot be the same as any other map.

ok im still having the problem. i dont know if its much to ask but if someone could get some screenshots of what you did in the hex editor and in adi and what the actual file names were in the end. if its too much then im screwed. i dont know what im missing but i bet its very small

Don't double post. Use the edit button.

You get it from the download on the mods main page. Usually in the first post of the page.
