Scenario Approval Discussion

[IRONCROM]

 @Rick
 
I'm thinking WAW v31 doesn't really need much in the way of play testing. Tom's changes sound pretty minor to a scenario that has already has tons of play testing. I think this one should get fast approval. What's your thoughts?

[rickier65]

Sounds fine to me - Tom probably knows what hes doing (and he fixes anything quicker than I can even play) - and thats a good thing.

I notice WAW v32 is now up for approval. [/align] [/align]You all okay If we authorise this one?[/align]

[IRONCROM]

Yea I think we can safely send WAW on its way. Even though Tom found a bug in version 31 the same day he posted it...LOL
 
Seriously though. I think WAW has to be one of the most refined scenarios on here. My vote is for approval.

[rickier65]

I wnet through and did a quick check. If you unzip Tom's latest WaW32 into the At bin directory it doesn't put the waw directory in the graphics directory - it leaves it in the bin directory. I'd suggest that Tom might want to redo the zip file before approving, (or I'd be glad to do it for him if he wants - though he's pretty much an expert I'd say - hes probably done it more than anyone except Vic.)

Haven't had a chance to play it yet.

I've installed the Diplomacy scenario but I see couple of problems with it.

If you unzip it to the bin driectory, it creates a folder named Alaric in the bin directory. That folder need to be copied to the graphics directory for it to work.

Also, even if you do the above, when you attampt to play it as is, it does a crash to desktop.

In scenario briefing Alaric says where to put the Alaric directory, and also notes a bug if one of the options is left at the default. I think I'd suggest moving this back to the sandbox and maybe Have it working and uznipping properly before approving.

Alaric, I'll be glad to take a look at the bug if I can sort through it. ANd if you want I can help you repackge so it unzips properly.

greetings, first, indeed, thanks you very much for take the time of make the test, i try to fix the bug but failed to do it, scenario is not upgraded to 1.15 still, the bug is for sure about i remove the "grant navy" for sweden, because it in the default Diplomacy scenario go to Riga and now Riga is a russian city, not swedish, last day i try to fix it, it works but all regimes received the "grant navy" of sweden, in add if i add a "check" to the event, only sweden receive the card but this time it is for grant navy to egypt as english colonial navy, at this point i revert to original status, i do not think that scenario at the moment is suitable for approval, just was wanting to make it available, only things to do is to make "treaties" between players trough chat or email and turn off the option "allow making peace", scenario is not suitable for AI play, i will like if it can be listed as Human Only, all sf and units builds are displayed under "no combat" type builds, and AI keeps, on the test, building only horses, not infantry, cavalry, etc, to make it playable by the AI will be much work, to make it playable by Human i thinks it only matters about the removal of the event (105, now "blank") of the sweden navy and the sweden navy card, Rick and IronCrom, thanks for the support, and for now on feel free to make any and all modifications on it, indeed i must say that will be a privilege for me if you, that have indeed more experience with the scripts, make the scenario playable, that will be the better about all it, excuse, please, my fault about left without support the scenario for some time, i have other projects on other games and have been working on them some months ago to now, if at last, you decide to take on the scenario i hope you find of help the info, i are very under concern about the bug is caused by the sweden navy card and event, i think the better way is to restore event 105 and make the action card for sweden to receive the navy, maybe in stokholm, his capital, just tried it and i failed to do it properly, any and all help, thanks in advance,

with best regards,

Based on these discusions, I've gone ahead and moved the Diplomacy - Napoleanic Wars to the sandbox until we can squash the bug. It's still available for folks to download there. And I'll take some time and look over the cards and events.

 Tom is working on a another version of "Age Of Napoleon" that will probable not be out for another week.
 
Star Drek is still going through testing. Going off of some of the comments on the forum I'm guessing bulldog may make some changes before there through.
 Which leaves the "War for Eldorado"
I'll contact the designer and see if he is interested in doing some play testing with me. Is anyone interested in joining a game?(Bulldog, Rick)

Sure I can join in a game of El Dorado.

[IRONCROM]

 The designer has agreed to play test with us.
 
I just played out about 5 turns against AI and I don't think were going to find any problems with this one. There are no special graphics or action cards. (none of the usual bug causes)

After exchanging emails with TWebber, I put the zip for WaW_v32 together. One of you might want to double check to make sure I didn't make a mistake.

After that I'm fine with approving WaWv32. I've put it in the "waiting for approval" pool at the community site.

Rick

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

I'm happy to approve it, Fogg has also posted to say it downloaded fine.

[rickier65]

Vic,

I was going throught the sandbox list on the community site and realize that they're all marked as approved - YES.

I suspect that was done when you re-organized and I just hadn't noticed. Should we change that - actually the way you have it set up now, I'm not sure that column is even needed.

If you want I can go in and change entries to NO for the Sandbox.

Rick

[rickier65]

Bulldog,

Go ahead and approve it then. IRONCROM was satisfied with it earlier.

Rick

[alaric318]

thanks for all the support on the scenarios in the sandbox, thanks for the time on it, thanks Vic for a clean and clear game system/engine and thanks Tom Weber for all, "worth-playing" scenarios that have make available,

best regards,

Murat30.

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

Okay, WAW v32 approved. My first approval [:)].

[rickier65]

Murat30,

I've just about got this taken care of. Got rid of the crash to desktop, but need to fix up the event card and the event. I'll have the event card add swedish navy to stockholm.

I'll also flag scenario as human only. And I'll edit the narrative to remove warning about the peace option.

I'll let you know before I upload the revised one. And I'll upload it to the sandbox for folks to test.
