Calling all ToT owners! Please help me make a map!

[curtsibling]

Hi there!

I wish to ask anyone who has the time to help me place cities on a ToT map.

The goal is to create a copy of the Dictator 3 map...
Then again, it might be a good chance to create a new WW2 map!

What I had planned was the volunteer poster(s) and I would take a civ each and place cities and improvements...

This task would assure that all important cities are placed where the community wants them.

I am always up for co-operation in making scenarios as they are made with the CIV2 communities in mind!

The powers are:
Germany
USSR
USA
Brit Commonwealth
Japan
Neutrals

Using the Dictator 3 map, I have a full list of city co-ordinates made by Poly OT crusader, Ben Kenobi!

So placing will be easy enough!

Please help me make Dictator-3 ToT a reality!

If the cities are the same, couldn't you use CivConverter to change the MGE version to ToT? That should save some time...

[curtsibling]

Civconvertor does not make fully workable scn files.

I could not open certain menus, for instance...

[Mercator]

Isn't that a textfile issue, or solved if you open it as a savegame? Or maybe this can be fixed by copying the map and city sections of the CivConverted scenario to a new ToT one or so.

[curtsibling]

Well at the heart of the matter, it's really just the scn file that needs converted, unless I am wrong?

I have made all the other txt and graphic files...

Do you have a copy of the convertor?
It's a process I can no longer do, as my current OS does not like MS-DOS actions...

[Mercator]

Yes I do... I could have a little try, if you attach/mail the scenario/savegame.

Edit: I don't know how fast I'll be though.

No problem...I would be grateful.
I'll try this option to try and shave off some development time.

And there is no big rush, just post in this thread when you get the chance.

Good luck!

[Mercator]

Here's the first attempt... A scenario and savegame. The scenario is just a straight conversion. I created the savegame by loading the scenario (as a savegame) and saving it.

[curtsibling]

Great work, Mercator!

I am in your debt!

It seems that the conversion process resets all civ contact to 0.

To re-align the civ's contact is a case of merely putting a unit next to a rival city/unit.

This has saved me a few week's work!

[Mercator]

Let's hope there aren't any unexpected problems down the road, so you have to do it all anyway... After first working on this one for a few weeks.

Oh, and don't forget to thank Angelo Scotto!

[Catfish]

Curt, if you retain your original unit placement, check their orders. CivConverter doesn't always correctly translate "go to" orders. They often end up as "build transporter" or "no orders".

[curtsibling]

@Mercatore:
I will, don't worry about that!

@Catfish:
There are no move orders at the moment, but I will check everything...

[Kaptain Ken]

Curt,

You do such good work, that I eagerly await your scenarios. Played and loved all of the Dictator versions and really appreciate people who design for TOT. I even enjoyed Battle of WW2 on TOT. Keep up the good work.

[curtsibling]

Kaptain Ken!

Many thanks!

Dictator 3 will be an attempt to make my best scen ever.
I plan to make avi movies for it, and give it the works in terms of events!

Stay tuned, dude!
