What of the Civ Scenario Collection?

[DarthVeda]

Are Allard and Andrew ever going to update it again?

[Jay Bee]

Andrew never was part of the site...

[WarVoid]

And I think Allard fell off the edge of the Earth...

I really do wish somebody would update the bloody thing tho...

[Mercator]

But aren't all scenarios at the Spanish Civ2 site too now? And didn't you, JB, pretty much create CSC (or pick the categories or something)? So aren't YOU responsible? And are YOU updating YOUR site, I don't think so!

Maybe someone could revive CSC too... Or even merge it into the SLeague, to really make it the one-stop Civ2 scenario site.

No, thanks. Updating one site's worth of bad code is fun enough.

CSC was merged with the Spanish Site some time ago. Glad that at least someone noticed

[Jacobite1688]

So what...The CSC site is officially pronounced dead? If it is completely redundant with JB's fine site then why host it? Why not use the server space and pick up WarVoid's site or something like it? Or is this a lot more complicated then I think it is?

Well, not really, but the result is no different. He has showed his face again recently, but he suddenly just retired from Civ2 and anything/anyone related to it about 2 years ago.

CSC still has a little extra left, it has some graphics as well.

Merging CSC into SL would be a good idea, but putting all the scenarios up there, creating the necessary pages (and maybe even database or so), and actually updating it and adding new scenarios requires a LOT of work. So if you all really want it I suggest you all volunteer to help out St. Leo.

I don't know what exactly the criteria for hosting here are, but I do know that they don't ask people to get hosted (perhaps with a few exceptions in the past?). Actually, I do know some hosting criteria, but I don't think there's actually a single hosted site that matches these. Not that I mind, of course, but it does make the rules rather silly.

[MarkG]

i'm in contact with the JB, we'll have some announcements soon.

Darth be on alert. I hope you feel ready to get to work


as for our hosting program, the main rule is this

the sites must have something new to offer

no point for repititive content on the same server

IIRC, I put all the graphics packs from CSC on my Arabic CivII Site (see sig).

So they ARE available elsewhere, if you know where to look.

[Jay Bee]

WV, could you put them on the SLeague site as well? (only the graphics, not the scens)

[WarVoid]

I'll do it this weekend when I add the PBEM page.

[St Leo]

When adding single-file graphics packs, could you not zip them? Having to unzip a single *.gif is annoying and prevents one from finding out whether they actually want to keep it on their HD until after it's already there.
