It is the Scenario Designer's call. The general guideline is that if the Scenario Designer can not be reached thru reasonable effort, then that scenario can be considered part of the public domain.

Do you happen to have a list of the scenarios that were left out of TOAW IV on purpose?

I agree. I deleted is as a courtesy I suppose. I was surprised posting it would elict any adverse reaction. The scenario is in the public domain and has been for many years. The scenario briefing states March 2007 so for over 15 years it has been out in the wild so to speak.



There seems to be some confusion about why I requested that the LotR scenario be taken down. You’ve been around long enough to know that there is a courtesy where the poster asks the author for permission before posting a modified scenario. As is, you posted a scenario with corrupted graphics and unit database without asking for permission.

I spent a good amount of time and effort building the map, unit database and graphics. If not the first, it was one of the earliest scenarios to be designed using custom graphics and the Yeves database application. (Shout out to Yeves). I am quite happy with the scenario as I made it and would like for it to remain uncorrupted.

Now, if you want to invest the time and effort to build a TOAW IV graphics set I’m all for it. If you want to play LotRs with Orc units which look like NATO icons, that’s fine too. Just erase my name from the briefing and rename the scenario with your name so that no one thinks that I am associated with your scenario version. And don’t try to tell me that TOAW IV graphics cannot be adapted to this scenario; I know better.

As for the trollie who likes to use the term douche bag, until he learns a little respect, there’s no room for his kind on this forum.

Regards

The TOAW IV conversion on the other hand with NATO icons is crisp and clear.

And I think that's all your actually doing
Maybe you haven't noticed but this game struggles for new users.
You should step off with the nitpicky BS and let guys have fun. Or better yet, help them make it better.
And if you don't want your scenario's played then don't upload them to public domain.

It's included in the Other Category zip file. You will need to open it in the scenario editor & save it to be playable in TOAW4.
