CivConverter site?

[a_bates]

Does anyone know if there is a CivConverter site anywhere on the net? It strikes me as silly that we are all converting the same scenarios, the top 5, over and over again. Is there a repository of already converted scenarios somewhere?

You might want to try the Cradle of Civilization. The URL is "civ.cx" (no www)

P.S. How do I get a hyperlink into one of these messages?

Shadowstrike -

if you type out the whole url, http://civ.cx then the UBB should take over. And if that doesn't work, simply type in

[-url= the url of the site -] The words you want to appear [-/url-]

To make sure that showed up, i had to put the "-" in, so take them out when you're typing

In any case, you can make a link that will be like this

The Cradle of Civilization is willing to host converted scenarios. What we ask is:
[*] Original author's permission to have the converted version hosted.[*] The scenario be thoughly playtested.[*] A few screen shots be provided for the introduction page.

No, sadly CivConverter has no website, and i haven't planned to make one in future.
Cradle of Civ and Apolyton host the file and that's all;
I don't think anyway that this is a problem, after all converting a scenario takes few seconds while (since ToT uses BMP) converted scenarios exceeds one mega, so i think it's fastest to download the civ2 scenario (smaller since it uses gifs) and convert the whole pack after.
A thing very useful to do is a list of scenarios successfully converted with civconverter, in this way users avoid to download great scenarios only to discover after a while that Civconverter cannot handle them, but, like i said, i've no intention to make a such thing (obviously if someone want to put on this list is free to do so).

Hey, i've got an idea, what about a thread here where all users posts scenarios successfully converted? it's not like a website but it's a starting point.
