Problem with 'Riverwar' Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I am currently trying to play the scenario named 'Riverwar' (British army in Sudan in 1896).

Here is what happens: in december 1896 I am asked to save the game as 'riverwar.sav', then run the file named 'riverwar.bat', then load 'riverwar.sav' and go on playing.
The problem is that there is no 'riverwar.bat' file. I tried with 'events.bat' which is the only file with '.bat' ending but it doesn't work.

I am fairly sure that solving this problem is a piece of cake for almost anyone of you Master Scenario Makers .

Thank you for kind help

What version are you playing? If it's Allard's updated MGE, I could never get the second part of the scenario to work either. I thinks there' something wrong with the events file.

The FW version does work however.

Is the error msg something to do with the bat file or an events overload. If you think its the bat file, can you upload Events.bat? I'll take a look and edit if possible.

I play MGE because my FW is a French version that doesn't allow me to play any scenario (except after changing the names of a number of files; Julius Brenzaida masters that, but I don't wish to ask him everytime I want to play )

Boco

1) Thank you for proposal of kind help (and also for a bit of flattery )

2) There is no error message (but I know it doesn't work because the Nile cataracts, blocked during the winter, should get unblocked in march or april , and they don't).

3) I downloaded the scenario from the Spanish Civ Site.
Wouldn't it be best if you download it too, so that you can have a look at any file you would like to ?

4) I haven't got ToT.

I don't understand what you mean.

For some reason, I'm having trouble even loading the MGE version of the scenario, although it appears that all of the default text files are the MGE, not FW, versions. The zip file also appears not to contain his readme.

There is only one version of RiverWar.Scn in the zip. When my MGE, running on a XP pc, loads it, I get a "SMEDS Application Error." LF, our_man, since you got further, it appears that I'm missing something basic.

Btw, are you having problems running events.bat at the end of turn 10? Did you save the turn 10 file as riverwar.sav?
Do you have a copy of choice.com in either the riverwar directory or elsewhere in your path (e.g. \windows\system32 or \windows folder)?

Events.bat with my comments in italics

code:
choice /c:123 Enter your selection
Bat file is looking for choice.com, which is not included in the zip file.
code:
if errorlevel 3 goto done if errorlevel 2 goto Opt2 if errorlevel 1 goto Opt1 :Opt1 echo. copy events1.txt events.txt
Since the events.txt and events1.txt are the same in the zip, this file isn't necessary to begin the scenario. It's only needed after turn 10, or after the first time that you play the scen through.
code:
echo. DELEVENT riverwar.sav
Batch file is looking for a MGE sav file named riverwar.sav. Can't work without it.
code:
echo. echo -------------------------------------------------- echo. echo Congratulations! Part 1 of the River War has been echo succesfully loaded. echo. echo (If the line above this text says: "Error opening echo riverwar.sav for update", it means you did not save echo your game as "riverwar.sav") goto done :Opt2 echo. copy events2.txt events.txt echo. DELEVENT riverwar.sav echo. echo -------------------------------------------------- echo. echo Congratulations! Part 2 of the River War has been echo succesfully loaded. echo. echo (If the line above this text says: "Error opening echo riverwar.sav for update", it means you did not save echo your game as "riverwar.sav") goto done :done echo. :exit :quit
I disabled the last two commands with colons to allow debugging.

[shameless plug]Psst! ToT is kinda cheap and available in Western Europe. Many good scens in ToT, though sadly all are frogless...until Heresson finishes his[/shameless plug]

Sorry for reviving that thread here but I cannot make that Riverwar work again after turn 10/11. I can run that batch file but Civ2 crashes every time I try to load my 'riverwar.sav' file.

Can someone please help me out?

Is the first version still available? There was nothing wrong with it. The main advantage of v2 is the Fairline graphics, which could be copied over to v1.

A while back a Swedish Macophile (Henrik?) needed a version without Allard's Windows setup program. With AH's permission, I sent this zip. Rats! It's too big to attach here. I've uploaded it here, at least for a few months.

From the Readme
Also, you need version 2.7.81 of the game, a version which is only available with the scenario add-on CD for Civ II called "Fantastic Worlds" (FW). Please do not mail me asking why it does not work if you do not have this version. Although this scenario will also work under a later add-on, Multiplayer Gold (MGE), it is reported that 3x objectives do not work as intended under this version.


Hope this helps. This scen was very well crafted.

I have just unzipped your 4708_riverwar.zip (thank you very much for sending it)

It provides a very detailed Readme file, but only one game file, named Riverwar.exe

Could you please check whether you have the other game files somewhere?

I'm sorry I do not visit this forum regularly anymore, or use my hotmail anymore (too much spam), but I just noticed this thread.

The problem of v2 at the Spanish Civ Site is that events2.txt is a bit too long for MGE. I have removed some text in the following zip file. It diminishes the flavour, but oh well...

http://members.lycos.nl/ahsmexico/RiverWar v2.zip

Also, I half finished a v3 for ToT. It's all completely redone, but I fear I won't have the time ever to finish it. Just to let anyone enjoy it, here are the rude structures. It doesn't all work yet as it should, and technologies and later events do not work yet, but it might still be funny to have a look.

The graphics here are all Fairline's work, which I shamelessly stole.. Since this is quite an impulsive post and I did not plan to publish any of it, I didn't even ask Fairline's permission. I hope he forgives me.

I hope the links work like this. If they don't, I'll have to try another way..
