For a "quick fix" so that you can actually save and test your maps, I
suggest this procedure:

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/0ad/public/maps
$ sudo chmod 7777 /usr/share/0ad/public/maps
$ 0ad -editor

In the editor, when saving, ignore path selection (the game will ignore
anyway), but save in the above path. Supposing you did choose the name as
"mymap", then you can test it running

$ 0ad -autostart=mymap

I will try to make a patch to make it at least not crash, and give a
reasonable error message, but should leave build pending for the next
update.

0ad-saveas.patch

This unofficial (hackish) patch should be added to the next
alpha rpm package. It should help in making it easier to
create custom maps and testing them.

pcpa nice jobs but :
/usr/share/0ad/mods/public/maps/scenarios seem to be hardcoded
if it take scenario from ~/.local/usr/share/0ad.... what happen ?

It fails :-)

My patch simply does not allow one to attempt that, instead of
fixing it to work...

I just did debug the issue, overview what it does and make a
simple patch to address the issue found by the bug report, and
suggest a way to do some experimental map making.

If one is going to put significant efforts in modding or custom
map making, I suggest doing it with upstream involved as much
as possible.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
