FAQ for Authors

Once you have an Author account created, you can post your own scenarios and accompanying blurbs directly to scenarios.270soft.com .

How do I upload my scenario?

Once you have been sent an author name and password, log in by going to scenarios.270soft.com and clicking ‘Log in’ under Meta on the bottom right-hand side of the screen.

Next, click Posts on your Author screen, and click Add New.

Type your blurb and so on (try to hew to the standard format for existing scenario posts). Go to a new line and click the ‘Add Media’ button. Select the compressed (zipped) scenario file you have created, and insert it into the post.

How do I compress (zip) my scenario folder?

If you try to upload an entire, uncompressed scenario folder, it will be too large, and will be deleted. You need to compress it first.

To do this, find the scenario folder with your file explorer (for example, C:>Program Files>President Forever 2008 + Primaries>Scenarios), and then right-click on the scenario you want to upload (say, “United States 2020″), Add to, Compressed (zipped) folder.

This will create a new file that contains the entire scenario in a compressed format. This compressed file is what you want to upload to your post using the Add Media button.

How do I make a screen pic and insert it in the post?

Start the game with your scenario. Click the PrtSc (Print Screen) button on your keyboard. Then go to a graphics program (like Windows Paint) and select Edit -> Paste.

To resize the image, find an online resizing program. (Here’s one, another, and yet another.) Resize to the standard dimensions for a scenario pic, which is 165 pixels wide x 124 pixels high.

Go to your post, and click the ‘Add an Image’ button. Select your image file.

How do I create a new category for the post?

Simply e-mail us here with the category name you want added, and we can then add it as an option. You can then add it as a category for your scenario.

I have a new version of my scenario, how do I update it?

Find the post in your Author page, by clicking Posts, finding the post, and clicking Edit on it. Add your new compressed scenario file to your post using the Add Media button. Then remove your old scenario from the post, and delete it from your Media Library.
