Why the Scenarion Options are always disabled?

Module Design

I’m updating an old module, and i’d like to add some features using the Scenario Option feature.

No matter what i do (start a new game, or load a saved scenario to update it) all the settins are disabled:

What am I missing?

Have you ever been able to set the options?

You did restart the entire module after defining the options, I presume?

Nope.

Yes. Still always disabled.

If you post a link to the module, I will see if I can spot the problem.

Sure:

Same for me. I tried removing and re-adding Scenario Options. Same result.

I’ve used Scenario Options a fair bit, never had a perma-lock-out like this, so I’m stumped, sorry.

There are a couple of pre-requisites to be able to have the option to Lock the Scenario Options:

  1. You must have a Username and password defined
  2. If sides have been defined, then you must occupy one of those side, NOT be an Observer.

@Brent_Easton : so, i set a password when starting a play, and now the options are unlocked.
Was really that one the problem?

Thanks

My strong recommendation is to avoid having blank module passwords. It causes all manner of problems.

Yes. The locking of the Scenario Options is keyed to your password. If you don’t have a password, you can’t lock the options. As Joel says, having a blank password will cause all sorts of other issues as well.
