Civconverter woes Put an end to popups!

For some reason, when I try to convert Koybashi's Alpha Quadrant scenario, civconverter crashes after copying Advice.txt. I tried removing various files that could be messing it up, but to no avail. I tried running the scenario directly with and without the other files, but either way it causes ToT to crash. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

The most common cause of the CivConverter not converting is the existence of 3VP cities in the original scenario. Since ToT only supports 1VP cities, it won't convert.

Does BAQ have 3xObjectives in it? From my understanding, there are only 5 objective points needed to win.

Inflate your Upload Space

Sorry to bump the thread again.

I'm hoping to civconvert a few scenarios from the internet. One scen is WinterFritz's "All Under Heaven". I'm having difficulties converting it. After I open up the DOS console and type in the commands for CivConverter (including the full path name), it says there is an error in the scenario.

Can I email the .scn file to somebody for them to convert it for me?

Downloaded it and converted it without any such errors. Ended up fixing this and that. I've uploaded it here. Fixes are listed in the .zip file. The tech tree diagrams are not included.

They convert OK. ToT just doesn't read them. Won't cause a crash, though.

did we ever find anybody interested in hosting converted files?

And has anyone ever figured out a way to fix the graphics in Hartels scens, which come out almost unplayably awful when converted?

I'm willing to host selected scenarios converted to ToT. I'm only interested in first rate scenarios though.

Does All Under Heaven count?

I'm playing it right now and it's pretty good fun. The units all work well and the tech tree has been ripped up and revamped. It's not a complete overhaul (the way Sword of Shannara was) but it's good to play and also is one of the very, very few Civ 2 scenarios set in China's history when it wasn't being Nanjing-raped, Opium-drugged, or nuclear-wastelanded into nonexistence.

I could recommend it and can probably provide a few files if necessary.

I seem to have deleted all my converted scenarios. I have Riverwar dled, but never got around to converting it.
