In that case, is there anyone who can hex-edit for me. There are only 3 lost wonders. Not sure why that happened as I used 'Delete all wonders' from the cheat menu on at least ten other wonders without having them being listed as LOST!

Any help hex-editing would be most appreciated.

Mail me the SOB and some instructions. This is only a minor procedure under a local anaesthetic.

Did you mean, that you have LOST wonders in your list and you would like to bring them back into the game?

If so, sorry. I´ve understand that you would like to have one LOST wonder. In this case, I can´t help you...

@civ2units
Don't worry mate. I don't always explain things very clearly!

@Agricola
Thanks buddy
I plan to do quite a bit of work on the game today so I will e-mail the files tonight. Not sure which part of Canada you are in regarding timezones. East seems to be -8 hours on GMT, west is -4.
Don't mean to sound pushy but if I could have the files back asap as I cannot do much work without them

Alternatively, if you could suggest the best time for me to send them then I would be grateful. I just don't want to stall things too much right now as I am on a roll

Judging by the clocks in Scotland during the Open, we are 5 hours behind Eddynburragh. When the clock on the Scottish club house had its little hand on 5 and the big hand on 12, my Mickey Mouse watch had both hands on 12.

I'm clear except between 1900 and 2400 London time today, so you can e-mail me when you crash tonight and you will have it back by the the time you reluctantly stagger out of bed Monday AM.

P.S. I think you got the Canadian time zones a** backwards. The East is -4 Greenwich and the West, which is farther from Greenwich, is -8. I'm in the Toronto-Montreal-Ottawa time zone . . . . . GMT -5.

[McMonkey]

That's great! Thanks awfully

And of course your absolutely right about the backwards timezones. Maybe I should start writing E & W on the back of my hands as well as L & R

Not sure where to wright N & S though

Just wondering how to insert images into the text box. When I click the 'Insert Image' (IMG) tab I get a message saying "Script Prompt: Enter text to be formatted [IMG]xxx[IMG] http://". To experiment I clicked OK and got this:

[IMG]http://[/IMG]

What should I be doing?

I know I can upload files but they appear at the bottom of the screen. I want to add images at the top of the screen and insert them in between the text.

Also, as soon as I have finished off Bonaparte III I will be adding the finishing touches to this project. I still need someone to playtest the current version and provide some feedback. If there is another volunteer out there I would really appreciate your assistance

[AGRICOLA]

The only way that I know is a workaround, rather than the right way to do it.

Assuming that you want
PICTURE 1
TEXT
PICTURE 2

1. Use MSPaint or something similar to paste PICTURE 1 into a file [e.g. UPLOAD].
2. Type up the text. You may have to format the text to get the proper line length.
3. Use Print Screen and paste the text into UPLOAD
4. Paste PICTURE 2 into UPLOAD.
5. Adjust size, and sharpness if necessary.
6. Save as .png or .gif file.
7. Attach.

I've used this and, sadly, the text is not exactly high quality. Take a look at the Frederick the Great thread and you'll see what I mean.

Nice workaround but I wanted to find the correct way to do it

[Heresson]

ok, I am a bit out of touch. Is this thing finished already or not?

[McMonkey]

Not too far off. I lost motivation for a bit and was re-charging my batteries while I waited for playtesters.

I need to build a fairly simple linear tech tree to generate events. Add a load of events for the Ottomans to help them fight back.

What I really need to do is run a thorough playtest for Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia as I intend to make three versions so that each side feels like it is in a race for territory.

Getting the balance right should be quite easy really. I have run some preliminary tests as the Greeks and the Ottomans fought back quite well while the Serbs and Bulgars started taking Ottoman cities as I hoped they would.

For the Greek version I just need to alter the Serb and Bulgar stats to make them expand faster. For the Serb version I will reduce the Serb stats and increase the Greek stats and the same for the Bulgarian version!

To be honest I am the sort of person who needs a lot of support and patting on the back to motivate me

I'm not so good at the secretive hard working bit

[Patine]

Wait a minute. McMonkey, you're Werd100? And if so, why a new login name?

[McMonkey]

Surprise!

I hated Werd100! I am known as McMonkey everywhere else and it was getting confusing having to put two names on things. So I asked the admin to swap me over!

Hello
I don't know if you are still working on this project, but i will gladly help with the betatesting and if you need some info for events or some other suff i can help you too
Wheter you are still working on the scenario or you had abbandoned it, i would like to betatest it

[McMonkey]

Hi ya Fing0lfin

Nice to see a new face around here! I have not abandoned this project, I am just letting it rest for a while while I build up my enthusiasm!

I would be honoured if you would give it a Alpha test. So far I have mainly worked on the Greek version but I also plan versions for Bulgaria and Serbia. I want to make it seem like a race for whichever nation you play.

I need to add some events, test the unit stats and work out an events based tech tree before it will be ready for a Beta test. The current version is playable but far from complete.

I will upload the beta files to the Scenario League some time today and post a link here to let you know it is ready.

Can I assume from the flag that you are from Bulgaria?
