I like very much this idea...
But a conversion for Test of time...
Maybe after Redfront?

To open the graphics files, just use the editor in MGE : open the file, for example the units and save after. You'll be able to open them after....

I understand, I would love to see a ToT version of a lot of scen...

Alex 'the Magnificent' Mor was very canny - he tried to sell his gfx initially and made it tricky to edit his gfx files directly. There is a workaround though: open the scenario in FW/MGE and cheat edit any unit. Add a pixel in an easily correctable area of the unit graphic and save. When you exit the scenario you will find a nice editable bmp with all the units in it!

I recall he never finished this scen to his satisfaction...

You're right, Rob was far from happy with it and it's not the finished article.

Thank you both on the tip for viewing the files!
And yeah, I've heard about Alex and his graphics. I just hope he's glad that we still play his excellent scens!

...and that Microprose didn't get its lawyers onto him

[curtsibling]

Really?

Please digress!

[Case]

Microprose* owned the entire rights to Civ 2, which includes all user-created Civ 2 scenarios so selling any part of a scenario is a breach of their copyright.



* And whatever company now owns Microprose

I had the early versions of this, Klesh was unhappy with it, because he couldn't get certain historical things into it he wanted.
