The version, author, size, and type columns are all empty or default values. (I guess the name must come from the folder name, not the .pbl.)

Is your _server.pbl file in the same folder as your _main.cfg file? Did you misspell it or forget the underscore?
I haven't changed the pbl file's location or name ever since I first created the campaigns, and they always worked fine. Even on 1.12 it worked fine iirc, the issue seems to be on 1.14 only.

I took a screenshot of the folder, though. The pbl file is together with the main, as you can see:
Spoiler:
EDIT: OMG I JUST FOUND THE PROBLEM. The pbl file has a capital P (.Pbl); I removed it and now I can FINALLY upload. Omg I'd forgotten how much I hate coding :lol:

Anyway, you saying that the file wasn't being read at all was what reminded me to check the file name, so thanks very much! ^_^

File names in Wesnoth are case-sensitive. The capital P in the name is probably the cause of your problem.

Edit: Never mind. I guess you already found it.

I realize that this is resolved already so I'm too late to actually be helpful here, but I thought I'd point out that Wesnoth does in fact write a useful error message in the log file in this situation (in contrast to the error messages displayed in the GUI, which are not very helpful):

Code: Select all

error filesystem: Not opening 'C:\.../_server.pbl' due to case mismatch.
I guess the moral of the story is always check Wesnoth's log file in case it might have some interesting information.
