	A new scenario... for Imperialism I Increase Your PM Length

I have holidays now!! Getting bored again, like in the good old days, and finding some time to play a bit at the computer.

So.. With my newly acquired knowledge about Hex-Editing I created the very first custom-made scenario for Imperialism I. (might also make a scen for Imp2 later on, if I find the time). I thought maybe especially St Leo would like this.

I know.. I know, it's not civ2, but I thought you guys might like imperialism too. Instead of the Ottoman Empire, I added the Netherlands. The scenario (no big deal, just a slightly modified standard one) can be played by Holland!!! Very nice! Only the flags are not good, the Dutch don't use a half moon. I could change that too, but that'd make a 3 MB download instead of a 35 KB one.

And, if anybody wants to know how to do this too, just ask me.

Here's the link. I had to rename it to a gif file, but it is not. Just download it, and rename it to zip.

When downloaded, unzip to your Imperialism 1\Scenario subdirectory, run the game and select the new scenario

You're wrong. My brother and I created one months ago, andprobably somewhere someone else has. Ours is set in the era of World War One. The great powers are all the same, but with big, beefy arsenals and stuff.

Have you discovered a way to have fortresses at the start of the scenario, or for it to start with powers at war.

Actually, I downloaded several custom Imperialism I scenarios that were made a while ago - one involving America I believe.

But that's great guys! Keep them coming. Imperialism is a great game - anything you can do to improve the game - so much the better

Please be sure to let us know when your creations are finished, and where we may download them.

I don't have Imperialism on my computer for some reason, and that means my scenario is gone too, but my brother has it. All I have to do is get it, make up the .inf, and zip it up.

Allard, as for setting relationships to promote war... It doesn't work, especially when you've built up all the nation's military power to Awesome x 2. It is therefore dependent on the player to start the war, but no one will keep their alliance!
Is it possible to combine the Central Powers into one, and to combine the Triple Entente? That may be the only way to do this. But either way, it's still kind of fun to play this scenario. Iw would make it more fun if the computer had the balls to attack any place with more than consrcipts to defend.

Leonidas, thanks for the files you sent me. They were funny, but they were not "scenarios", merely saved games. Of course you can consider a saved game a scenario, but a scenario has some major advantages.
First of all, I always hate random maps, so I always play on a European map, but there are only a limited number of nations you can play as. Instead of Turkey, I used Holland in this scenario. For the rest the scenario is nearly the same as the standard 1820 scenario, but there are a few little differences, like the council has been switched off, Dutch hills have been made a little more full of coal and iron to make it easier, the year is 1815 instead of 1820.
All of these things a saved game cannot do, also in a saved game you can't choose your country, except if you hex-edit the game.
A few more advantages of scenarios are that you can save a much larger amount of them than the amount of slots for saved games can use, you can use a separate file linked to which contains flags, units, only for that specific scenario, and you get a nicer intro screen when you start the scenario.

Scenarios consist of s*.map, s*.scn and s*.inf. Saved games are called slot*.imp.

Yes, Leo, I'll send you my notes as soon as I made them a bit understandable (like translating to English, etc.)

Oh yes, by the way, I found today a "way" to activate the cheat menu in Imp1 and 2, but it doesn't really work well yet, so have a little patience, and maybe shortly everyone can make easier scenarios.

I'm still trying to take the terrain pics of imp2 and import them in imp1. The importing part in imp1 works, but not the exporting part in imp2.

As you can see, I've been playing around a bit today... This "scenario"-thing of me won't be updated I think, it's just a little try-out after all, until maybe once I know how to add graphics with it.

Leonidas, nice signature by the way: "Go tell the Spartans, passerby:
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie". I used to know the sentence in Greek by heart, but I forgot it

How does the palette come out?

BTW, do you know how to un-gob the gob files? I am pretty sure they have a lot of goodies inside themselves.

P.S. Playing as Netherlands is fun - so far I have gobbled up most of France with my starting forces and an hoping that everyone does not declare war on me before I get a larger military.

My brother created a executable file that can change the .scn file to text, using base ten values, and then change it back to scn. Again, I don't have this, but I'll post when I get them from my brother. I suppose I could ask him to email all the stuff, but it might take some time.

Fact: Imperialism supports scenario filenames from s0 to s63, but I am not sure if it can display all of them in the selection box yet.

Hey, guys, I have also now edited and created a new pictwv4.gob file, so that the appropriate flags are available for the scenario. It is about 850 Kb of size. If anybody wants to see it, I'll upload it. Just tell me if you're interested.

Hmm, that would be a very user-unfriendly thing to do. But of course, you can simply delete the tutorials, that makes quite some space free, and they're **** anyway.

Sorry that I'm dropping by so late, Saint had sent me a message a week ago through ICQ, but I rarely check the thing nowadays.

For those who don't know me, IMO I used to be one of the greatest Imperialism 1 maniacs around. I'm excited to find out that there's a scenario editor so could anyone send over that editor and an instructions guide ? (Allan ? you can use Dutch - no translation to English required )

Anyone who sends his selfmade scenario's will be adored by me. (my email adress is showed above)

My name is Allard. Lol! Not Allan, that's a name for Englishmen losers.

Ik heb nu 2 scenariotjes gemaakt, een waarmee je Nederland kan spelen, dat heb je waarschijnlijk al gezien (link bovenaan op deze thread),

Two scenarios have been made, one about a Dutch spelling bee and another about a chic war (Bavarian link at the top of the thread).

ik heb daar ook trouwens nog een .gob file voor met NL'se vlaggen enzo, en ik heb ook nog een versie van het ww1 scenario dat ik heb ge-edit zodat er oorlog is tussen de landen vanaf het begin.

The towns in my *.gob file were flagged by Enzo, the WWI scenario that was G-Edited looks okay according to my Zodiac sign horoscope.

Maar ik ben nu op vakantie en heb niet alle benodigde **** bij me.

Allies are vacant, excreting, and biting.

Ja, Colon, we weten heus nog wel wie je bent hoor, ook al heb je je naam veranderd.

Yes Colon, you have done well by my standards.

P.S. Could you please edit out the MiningCo part of your link? It's really messing up the thread.

Ik heb de scenario nog niet geprobeert, het spel is momenteel niet geinstalleerd op mijn PC en ik het nogal druk de laatste tijd, maar ik zal ze deze zaterdag uitproberen.

The scenario is being proved via my magic spell that is installing it in my PC; do not think I am drunk just because I am wearing drag.

I'd just like you all, and especially Allard H.S. that I have three files on my webpage at http://www.geocities.com/societyeternal/ . I hope the links work for you, because they work for me.

I suppose I'll E-mail him about this, but Allard H.S.'s Holland scenario is on there, only as Holland 2. I modified it so that you start off with ports so you can get fruit, more military, better relations, some other things. He still gets credit in the .inf file and the text file, so he won't mind, well he?

Also, if some of you already have the ImpEdit things and GreatWar, I have modified versions up there, but I still have to put up the file that will help with the coordinates for placing htings like ports and civilians and such. I'll do this shortly.

I didn't notice before that you had loaded Holland with iron and coal. I thought that it would be hard with maybe just one iron, one coal, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't take away the engineer or some money or something, because on my game right now I'm probably doing too good.

Note that the Great War scenario on my page now also stars powers out at war. No other changes though.
