If you want other people to play your scenario, it is vitally important that you test it.
|
|
Otherwise, lots of people might waste lots of hours playing a scenario that is unwinnable or otherwise doesn't work.

<text top='4' left='0' relative='pos-in pos' rel-anchor='prev' width='414'>
|
|
To run your scenario, copy it into the Blades of Exile Scenarios folder and start it using the Start Scenario button on the game title screen.

<text top='4' left='0' relative='pos-in pos' rel-anchor='prev' width='414'>
|
|
You can also quickly launch your scenario using one of the Launch options in the Scenario menu of the editor.
|
|
In the editor preferences menu, you can set a save file to be used as your debug party.

|
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.
|
|
This causes the game to forget everything you've done in that town.
|
|
If you don't do this, your corrections may not be remembered properly.
|
|

|
|
<text top='4' left='0' relative='pos-in pos' rel-anchor='prev' width='414'>
|
|
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.

Before distributing your scenario, Playtest it from start to finish, and, if possible, have friends play it too!
