Greetings,

How do you convert old EF, WF and RS scenarios (pre Matrix CS Edition)? [&:]
Thanks for your help!

I may be wrong, but I get the impression from other threads that no conversion is required? Have you just tried a couple to see if they work?

I transfered an old scenario I'd created under the old game into the Matrix game, and no conversion was required.  It worked fine. 

I was pleasantly surprised when I downloaded a West Front & East Front II scenario directly from The Blitz scenario depot to the respective Matrix folders and the darn things actually worked!!  I was even able to move the horses after the riders had dismounted.
 
I have always struggled converting ver 1.02 for play w/ ver 1.03 & wanted to see if the Matrix game would make matters easier.
 
I found a converted EFII scenario in my Talonsoft directory (Another Lost Victory), copied it & pasted it in the Matrix folder.  I received the infamous error message when I tried to play it w/ Matrix.
I went to the Blitz scenario depot & downloaded it directly into the Matrix EF folder & it worked!!!!
Wooo Hooo!!!
 
Is it possible to play every scenario including those from PROJECT BLITZKREIG with Matrix?

Any scenario that could be used with the previous Talonsoft games should be compatible with Matrix.

The code for the platoons, weapons, terrain etc that make the game battle files operate is all the same. So long as no new privately generated platoon and weapon factors have been added they should operate just fine.

Pains have also been taken to include all the platoons generated by the various addons to EF, RS and WF that were made in the past and more have been added. If you do find a scenario that does have such a compatability problem let us know. It probably can be fixed.

Good to hear that asiaticus, I've just been glancing over all the scenarios in the Depot over at the Wargamer. Lots of good stuff there.

Oh yes. Its a gold mine.

I have downloaded two scenarios from Game Depot and have had no problems. [:D]
