The Odyssey Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I'v loaded the new scenario, winner of the contest "The Odyssey" and translated to MacOs with the usual process. Crash, crash, crash. Anybody of you was succeeding?

I know what is wrong, the original grapic files where .bmp files right?
THen you need to copy the contenst of the entire file into a .gif file and then save as a .pict file. If you just convert them the normal way (save bmp as pict) then that will cause the game to crash, I don't know why but thats the way it is.
I discovered this while doing a lot of experimenting trying to play the carolus scenario (i think) made originally by Jesus Munoz.
I removed all files and the scenario loaded fine, I added the graphic files only and the scenario crashed, then I experimented and came to that conclusion. I have later used this method on all scenarios that crash on me and that has seemed to work so far.

So, I looked all over the site for any of the 3 scenarios mentioned (yes, the PC versions ) and couldn't find them. Could someone post a link to one of these scenarios with the BMP files? Thanks.

Sounds like I need to post some Mac conversions. Anyone want to compress and send them to me and I'll post them? I need to get busy and edit the Patch notes too (not to mention post a news announcement)!

Got spare money?

Thanks for the pointers. Apparently my ISP doesn't believe in the scenario league, I can't resolve the DNS. I did manage to get to the The Odyssey though.

Thanks again.

I have received the Odyssey from both Mike.doc and Henrik. I've been a bit distracted by a new iMac and OS X!! I'll try to get around to posting soon.

Nope, I didn't send you the Odyseey I sent you the bunch of Scearios I promised to send you a long time ago. I never got around to do it untill now, and since your mailbox is now filled you couldn't receive all of the ten scenarios I sent you (that was the number of scenarios you asked me to send at a time).
