Setting up a custom game for xbox

Hello all,

I’m trying to set up a custom edited game/map to play with friends on xbox. I’ve searched the net and youtube and cant find the answers im looking for. Thank you in advance for any help.

I’ve created a custom map to test. I know i have to load the lobby, click custom game, select the map. Once the map loads all 6 player spots are prefilled with ai players that cannot be removed, so i cannot invite friends to the game. This is all on my laptop.

When i try to load the maps on my xbox by clicking custom game mode, there are none of the test maps I’ve created. Im usubg the same xbox live account on pc and xbox.

Thanks again for any help.

Try opening your map in the editor and going to Player Data.
Are the players there set to Computer or Unavailable instead of Human?

There is also this mod you can try: Mods Single - Age of Empires - World's Edge Studio

How did I miss that. Ive been staring at that screen for days on and off, thank you so much.

My next issue is ive created some custom maps, but they will not show on my xbox, even if i select the “custom scenario” option. They do show when i load the game on my laptop.

Should I be saving the maps im making differently?

I don’t know how custom scenarios on Xbox work, but if you’re uploading them as a mod and downloading them, it could be the way the mod folder is setup.

It should be ModName\scenario\mapname.mythscn
