Questions

Post by MP-5 »

Just a couple of questions.

1. Is there a ICQ Ring for SPWAW? if not would anybody be interested in helping me start one? Just wondering.

2. Can you use version 4.0 and below scenarios in SPWAW 5.1? Just wondering because there a bunch of scenarios out there.

3. A couple of times I have downloaded a scenario to find out that I have a scenario of the same name already, is there a way I can change the filename so I won't have to overwrite a Scenario?

If you have answers they would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

The best way to both move scenarios around and massage my ego, is to use Scenario Wrangler, which is available here. This will let you view a bit of detailed info about your scenarios, and easily move them around. You can also print out lists of scenarios. I find the double-spaced printout to be quite good for keeping track of which scenarios you've tried, and what the outcome was.

Scenario Wrangler (along with Map Thing which helps you print maps) is being slowly but actively developed.

Hi Cadet!

As to question #2, most of the scenarios in the game are older scenarios that have been updated. If you find a scenario out there that was made in a previous version and hasn't been updated, it may or may not work because there have been many OOB changes since then.

There are a few ways to handle importing scenarios, and at the link below you'll find a document that explains another way of handling it.
