    Alright, since there has been some confusion and probably a screw up on my part I'm going to start posting the link to the most updated files in this thread. I just sent a PM to DanQ to have my upload box wiped out so I can fit more files. This way we can all be on track and fix things using our collective minds. This "don't let anyone know what we're doing" in an open playtest is becoming to much of a hindrance.

    Stay tuned, I'll post the newest files soon.

    In the meantime, tell me what I'm doing wrong:

    @echo off
    cls
    echo.
    echo Atomic Eagle Part 1 (V.1.0)
    echo.
    echo (Loads graphic, rules, and event files)
    echo (load a chapter according to where you are in the game)
    echo.
    echo Which Chapter do you wish to load?
    echo.
    echo 1. Chapter 1
    echo 2. Chapter 2
    echo 3. Chapter 3
    echo X. Exit without Loading
    echo.
    choice /c:123X Enter your selection

    if errorlevel 10 goto done
    if errorlevel 9 goto done
    if errorlevel 8 goto done
    if errorlevel 7 goto done
    if errorlevel 6 goto done
    if errorlevel 5 goto done
    if errorlevel 4 goto done
    if errorlevel 3 goto Three
    if errorlevel 2 goto Two
    if errorlevel 1 goto One

    :One
    echo.
    echo Chapter 1
    copy events1.txt events.txt
    copy rules1.txt rules.txt
    copy units1.bmp units.bmp
    copy cities1.bmp cities.bmp
    DELEVENT Atomic.sav
    goto done

    :Two
    echo.
    echo Chapter 2
    copy events2.txt events.txt
    copy rules2.txt rules.txt
    copy units2.bmp units.bmp
    DELEVENT Atomic.sav
    goto done

    :Three
    echo.
    echo Chapter 3
    copy rules3.txt rules.txt
    copy units3.bmp units.bmp
    copy cities3.bmp cities.bmp
    goto done

    :done
    echo.
    exit
    quit

      i dont think it's the batch is the only problem, maybe your events2 is somehow not working. If I try to reload by renaming it to events.txt it is not recognized in civ2. The batch problem is somehow less important. Try fixing the files, so that we can manually replace them (it does not work yet, imho, i could be mistaken)the batch is 2nd order.

        Events2 should work. I've been able to load it in another beta test before I even opened the the playtest. I dunno, take a look and see if you see something out of place.

          Maybe you're right about the map around Israel, it just seems that Jerusalem is too far north. It's a good scenario, though.

            AHAH! Found the bastard! I had added an aggression command in there and named the Axis Allies just Axis!

            Here's the right Events2 file and the correct batch file.

                Happy New Year everyone! I went ahead and grabbed some free webspace for myself. A website all to my own makes it a lot easier to upload files. As promised, here is the latest download.

                Latest news coverage, email, free stock quotes, live scores and video are just the beginning. Discover more every day at Yahoo!


                The events problem has been fixed, capturing the cities in South America should be easier if not too easy, and chapter 2 should load just as planned.

                The win2k bat problem is still on the table as I do not know how to fix it. Please someone take it upon themselves to get some sort of bat file as I only have win98 to work with.

                Anyways, keep the suggestions coming, but please focus on game play (such as unit strength, events, easy, hard, etc... Gameplay is my big priority right now.

                One big HINT: Don't try to nuke London. They have a superb "air patrol" that will stop any planes carrying a sluggish A-bomb. And no, getting the first A-Bomb plane and nuking New York does not win the scenario. Remember, you are supposed to be a soldier. Follow your orders... Or Elise, the Fuehrer's bodyguard, will stop playing nice.

                  for Win2k users

                  I could not upload a choice.com file so I had to rename it to choice.net. Just reverse this process.

                    Ok, unit name mistake. The F-9 Panther portrayed in the game is actually the F-2 Banshee Navy fighter. The F-2 superseded the F-9 as the U.S. Navy's premier fighter. I will make the change and update the download file on my website.

                    EDIT: Also the Bradley Tank should be the Pershing Tank.

                    Another EDIT: Some minor grammar and spelling mistakes fixed in the Opening Text file.

                      Ok, to speed up the playtest I'm going to post a save that is right after the switch to the Nazis and after the Abwehr have been disbanded. All you have to do is keep the file named as Atomic.sav and then run the bat program to move on to chapter 2.

                      And again, I may have to make Caracas easier to capture for the Axis as I was also waiting a while for them to move their units in. But don't worry about that right now. Just worry about fighting off the Americans and British.

                            Working on a few new graphics for the Abwehr and Axis rebels. Anyone get a chance to try out the second chapter?

                                Doing a general makeover of the units, names and such. Should have some stuff to show off in a bit.
