Wesnoth game Icky

The blue team has developed a game called Icky - I downloaded the game on Monday 22nd March.
I have difficulties i opening the game as I get error message "Unknown scenario: "1stseen"
I have tried 2 game versions: stable 1.6.5 and 1.7 but they don't work.
So I will dig in with their code to find out what they had :)
As our red team developed the game for stable version 1.6.5 I will try to modify the game for this one.
I can manage to make pictures work, that I also didn't see at first - the game itself doesn't still play, but it at least has campaign image in the campaign list now as I changed the directory folders in Main.cfg file.

I can see from scenarios that Blue team has really tried to think about different actions inside the came and make characters play and interact with each other. Several different events are thought about and all of them always have also messages with them.

Their main characters are custom ones - known characters from animations Scratchy and Icky. Other characters seem to be used form default, so that the story runs well. In some scenarios Elves are the ones who help them when their own men are lost. Scenarios are interesting to read, I would really like to actually try the game out when it would work in my computer :P

They have also used Debug messages in their code. We also tried to find out the simplest tools for debugging, but didn't get needed information out from them while developing.
Code is really easy to follow as they have added enough comments to describe what next acction is doing or what they would like to add extra.
