I'm working on an Alexander scenario coming, but it's going to be a while. I've got at least three more books to read; if I'm going to do this it's gonna get done right. I do, however, have the map done. It's modified from one I downloaded from Apolyton. I'll need instructions on sending the file; I'm a neophyte at such things.

Darin at valmont7@yahoo.com was working at converting my 'Gangster' scenario into a Mac format. I've not heard how far it's progressed, however if you're looking for additions, you might like to send him a note(?).

Wouldn't it be easier for you guys to abandon your 'Macs' and contribute to the elimination of individuality?

I have converted the following scenarios to Mac gold compatible in my spare time:
AgeofPiracy - Great scenario. Lot of ship to ship combat and unusual twists.
Archer - A scenario from the Hodadian awards.
Barron - Another from the Hodadian awards contest. Very good.
Combat - Don't remember
DagorBraggolach - Tolkien - from the Silmarillion. Good, but no comparison to Harlan's LOTR.
Foster - Another from the Hodadian awards contest.
Moore - Another from the Hodadian awards contest. Good, as I remember.
Vikings - A real classic from Harlan Thompson. One of my faves.
Sagan - Another from the Hodadian awards contest.
I've posted them at: http://www.cyberramp.net/~lingchih/CIV2_Scenarios/
Feel free to distribute them.

Kent: How do you download them? When I click on the link all I get is a screen full o' gibberish & no download.

To download the files, simply option click on them, rather than clicking on them. This will bring up a "Save As" dialog box. Save them to your hard drive, then use Stuffit Expander to unstuff them. Move the untuffed scenario folder into your Civ 2: Civilization 2 Files: Scenarios folder, and you should be ready to go.
As for my conversion methods, there is an excellent tutorial at http://civilization.gamestats.com/c...mod_files.shtml
For converting the graphics, I find that Graphic Converter (downloadable at your favroite shareware site) is the only dependable way to do it. Even Photoshop screws up the color indexing. Sounds are a bit more work. You can do it with SoundApp (freeware) or Quicktime player, but you can't batch convert with these, so it takes a while. I use Media Cleaner Pro to batch convert them, but then, I am a Multimedia Designer by trade, so I have a lot of cool tools at my disposal.
Hope this helps.

Oh, and by the way. If your Mac has trouble recognizing what type of file the .scn (scenario file) is, use something like ResEdit or File Buddy to change its file type to the same as one of the scenario files included on the Gold CD. My Mac tends to lose track of file type pretty easily, and I end up using these a lot. Anybody else remember when a Mac always knew what type a file was, and it was the PCs that got confused?
Ah, the good old days.

First try sending it (the map file) as an email attachment to JacSamDad@aol.com As long as AOL doesn't reject it for being too big or mess it up out of spite, I'll post it ASAP!
I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow. There are 2 disks - the second disk contains all the sound files. When you've had a chance to play the scenario, post something here or in the Mac forum.
