This guide presents the user interface of the Custom Scenario Editor. Custom scenarios are a feature of the Card Hunter game universe. Players are given free rein to design custom game boards with the board editor and setup scenarios to enjoy stress free tabletop-like games with friends or other players. You can play with your own multiplayer party or take on the role of monsters. Make escort missions or King of the Hill battle scenarios. Decimate countless mob waves or survive single character challenges. As of writing, custom scenarios support only single player vs AI and single player vs single player custom games. Readers are advised to browse A Tutorial to making custom scenarios as a prelude.

Custom Scenario Editor User Interface

What the Buttons Do

Button Function
New clears all fields and allows user to start making a new custom scenario.
Load loads a scenario (.scn) file from your harddrive.
Save As saves this scenario (.scn) to your harddrive.
Name scenario name, also appears as text shown above victory stars in-game
Board filename of board (.brd) being used
Create opens the board editor; this exits the scenario editor and YOU WILL LOSE ANY UNSAVED CHANGES
Import load a board (.brd) file from your harddrive
Export saves the current board (.brd) to your harddrive, generally only needed if you're messing with someone else's scenario.
Audio sets the music and ambient sounds.
Time presumably for an MP style timer.
Is AI whether the side is controlled by player or AI; the box for "You" is disabled.
VP Target number of stars needed to win; should probably leave as "Automatic" unless you're using victory squares.
MP Party if you want to use your current MP party; this disables the group fields for this player.
Group # size and type of each monster group; the dropdown list uses the names found in the logs, which may be different than what the player sees
Ranked/Non-Ranked/Custom the first two are for starting a game using a pre-made MP board, because this uses the same interface as Create Casual Game.
Cancel return to MP lobby; discarding any unsaved changes.
Help opens a help webpage (http://www.cardhunter.com/helpcustomscenario/) in a browser tab.
Create Game starts the game you created; if Opponent isn't AI, you can invite a player in the lobby or just wait until someone joins your game.
