Steam Deck SWBF error with mod map: 'Could not open mission.lvl'

[Unit 33]

Upon trying to play Giftheck's new map 'Dune Sea Exchange' I was presented with a fatal error which read 'Could not open mission.lvl'.

I have not encountered this kinda error before, is this a known issue with the Steam version of SWBF?

Does Jabba's Palace work OK?

Yup, works a charm.

(also the loading times on this thing are crazy faster than my 8 year old mac hehe)

I have never heard of that happening before . Is it just mine or does it affect any other previously-working mod map?

I've never heard of it either! I begin to think it might be specific to the Steam version of the game.

odd that jabba works and another mod map would not...I assume it is still in addon for the steam version

Yup, I tried a random mod map (Bespin Skymaze) and it ran fine.

Maybe there's something in the Deck or the Steam version of SWBF that can't handle custom mission.lvl files

oh well!

I would suggest looking into some of the tools created by Bad AL, it allows you to easily inject new content into the base game files. Make sure that new content is prepared similarly to vanilla content (i.e. no DC: calls, etc)
