Laska2k4,

If you don't mind, could you send it along for me to give it a test drive as well. I won't be checking the conversion itself, but just running it under COTA and seeing if I spot any problems.

I'll PM you my email address.

Thanks.

[laska2k8]

MarkShot,

check your mailbox...

[MarkShot]

Got it. I'll give it a run through when I get a chance and let you know how it went. Thanks.

[MarkShot]

Max,

Thanks for the files. Perhaps, I did something wrong. I put the map in the my maps directory and ran MM to generate the cache. I put the scenario in the scenario directory. After reading the briefing and trying to load it, I get the following error. Was I supposed to copy over some files from my HTTR directory or something?

Thanks.

[MarkShot]

BTW, I tried this with the digital download retail version of the game. This was not with a beta version.

[Plodder]

Did you try copying the HTTR estab into the COTA estab folder?

[laska2k8]

Sorry,

I forgot to say that the HttR estabs must resides on appropriate Cota folder.

[MarkShot]

Okay, which file(s) must I copy (source -> destination)? {I never do any scenario development/work.}

Thanks.

MarkShot,

on my computer it would be:

source: matrix games/Highway to the Reich/estabs/httrestab.aae

destination: matrix games/Conquest of the Aegean/estabs/httrestab.aae

I'm going on memory that the file name is "httrestab", but it will be the only file in the estabs folder with a .aae extension. you cant miss it.

Oh yea, Don't rename it when you copy it to the CotA/estab folder.

[MarkShot]

Thanks. I'll give it another shot later today.

[MarkShot]

I am currently playing this through. I will have feedback and an AAR out later today.

[MarkShot]

AAR and feedback here:

[JeF]

Wow !
So it basically works.

Nice test run Mark. Of course this is a simple scenario and there are stuff to look at like proper resupply. But I note that basic usage of HTTR estab seems feasible, even if not intended by devs.

Good stuff.

JeF.

[Rekm41]

Is this scenario available to download?

[PaulWRoberts]

I'd like to download it too.

[barbarossa2]

Hold on...I am confused...We can't share scenarios we have created? Because they are copyrighted material?

But that was TOAW's bread and butter. I am confused...

[barbarossa2]

Laska2k4 said we can't share our scenarios because they are copyrighted material.

How can that be? TOAW's bread and butter was modified and newly generated scenarios.

Is this true Arjuna?

Chris

[Arjuna]

No, of course you can share the scenarios you create. What you can't share is the game executables and stuff like the Estab files and the original scenarios that come with the game. We want to encourage as many people to create and share their own scenarios.
