If you want other people to play your scenario, it is vitally important that you test it.

When testing your scenario, one useful feature is debug mode.
While playing the game, type 'D'.
This will put you in Debug Mode.
Monsters will no longer move or attack you, and you will be able to play much faster.
Type '?' in debug mode for a list of many other quick actions you can perform to help with testing.

When you make a change in a town, before testing it, be sure to leave the town and type '>' in debug mode.

If you don't do this, your corrections may not be remembered properly.

Finally, if you edit your scenario while playing in it, whenever you save a change go back to the game and reload your save file.
Otherwise, the game may not read the scenario data properly and crash.
