English version finished - need tester

[BeBMan]

Cross & Crescent, the English version of Kreuz & Halbmond is now finished, but before I release it, it would be nice to have one or two testers for this version (needs Fantastic Worlds).

Is there someone who could:

1.)testplay the English version
2.)look out for spelling errors
3.)and for any other mistakes

Note that this is no real betatest, but however, any comments or suggestions are, of course, welcome.
So, please give me a valid email adress, and I´ll mail the English version and a few hints to you...

...and the German version is available for review on the SLeague site. We'll even accept a review in German.

bung it my way, ill be happy to test it for you, Cockney9@hotmail.com

Cockney used to be schizophereic but we'er ok now

[BeBMan]

Thank You, Cockney! It´s on the way...

Cockney has reported that he wasn´t able to start the English version, he received this error message from civ2:

Error 2 "-3" in module "2" data: 15 4

File open Failed: modules.DB
Most recent DOS error: 2

I´m not sure about the reason for this. I think it´s the file LABELS.TXT. The file I included with the English version has the stringheap value of 11000, but the German version of this file has 20000. And, later I discovered that most of the English scenarios I have use a LABELS.TXT with a stringheap of 16368...

Has anyone an idea about it? Or is another problem causing the error message above?
I tested the English version on my computer, and it works well, so what is wrong...?

Thanks for any help!

I was just wondering on what version this scenario works on: just CivII, CivII with Fantastic Worlds, or MGE?

Whether the two of you have different versions of the game.

Also, if you'd like to send me the game I'll test it with MGE. Email me at westbeach@altavista.com

Thanks benedetti, but I think the events are ok. Also I received an email from another tester and he says that the scenario runs good...first good news today

Leonidas, I sended the scenario to you.
I hope it runs with MGE (I´ve only FW).

[benedetti]

BeBro,

Several problems may be causing that message error. The label.txt string you mention may be one. But another likely reason for that to happen is that you have exceeded the space limit for events.txt. Eliminate a couple of @if's in that file and load again (do not rely on the FW event counter, it's usually wrong).

[Leonidas]

BreBos:

Thanks for the scenario - I have already sent you an email describing the problem, but this scenario will not work with MGE, even when I remove the label.txt and game.txt files. Sorry.

I hope perhaps someone may have a solution to this problem.

Ok, thanks for your efforts, Leonidas.

Are there some other testers (despite the problems )? Remember, it´s Fantastic Worlds.
Don, another Tester, says, it runs fine. I say it runs fine, but Cockney and Leonidas weren´t able to run the scenario (I believe it´s your MGE, Leonidas).
I think, I can´t release this English version until it´s clear that it is running correctly...any help would be great.

[St Leo]

Try setting Future Tech to nil, nil or something. BTW, if the game runs fine after you delete/rename labels.txt, your version is incompatible.

Thanks St.Leo! Progress report:
I´ve found one more tester and, surprisingly, he reported that the scenario runs without problems on his machine...

Perhaps I can release this version later this week, including a corrected Labels.TXT.

[Shaka Naldur]

send it to me also. I'll give you a hand,
miguelsana@mixmail.com send it to this adress and not to the one of my account

thanks

I have MGE and the scenario runs properly with no problems encountered so far.

[BeBMan]

Don, you have MGE? I thought FW...However, nice to hear that it works fine

I have to admit that I have no idea why it runs with your MGE, while Leonidas weren´t able to start the scenario...

And Shaka Naldur, thanks, it´s coming...
