War of the Worlds based on Exiles Imperialism 1870 scenario

thorgrimm · October 28, 2003, 14:25

Does anybody know if Exile still hangs out on this board, because i would like to post a scenario on the War of the Worlds based on his Scenario Imperialism 1870.

Thanks Thorgrimm

yeah he does...you may want to put his name in the thread title.

curtsibling · October 28, 2003, 16:57

Damned Martians!

Fine idea for a scenario!

I hope there isn't a Sean Connery unit!

thorgrimm · October 28, 2003, 17:15

No Sean Connery unit

I am going to post it and if Exile wants me to take it down have him post and tell me to. I think it complements his scenario well.

I hope you enjoy it. I would like constructive critiques so i can improve it.

Until i can figure out how to upload the file i will remove the useless links

@thorgrimm:

That links leads to nowhere, man!

thorgrimm · October 28, 2003, 18:55

@CurtSibling I just tried to download it and it brought up the Save file box and i saved it to my hdd. I don't know why you could not do it. It says that it has been downloaded 4 times. So i do not know what is wrong.Also you can just go to uploads and download it there i think. If i am wrong could a moderator please let me know as this is my first thread and scenario posting.

Hi thorgrimm,

All units/etc posted are, of course, free for use by anyone.

Please note however that they were originally converted for use in a ToT scenario, hence are in either 24 or 32-bit format (I forget which).

cheers

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 02:44

Thanks a lot Ravagon do you have anymore of them?

If you can finish all the different Martian buildings i will try to do a TOT scenario as i have that game also.

Thanks Thorgrimm

thorgrimm, several of the now 12 downloads are mine, trying to get what ever it is you're trying to post. It seems to be a text file of some kind, with 0 bytes. So it's really nothing at all. Try reposting, use the Attach file function at the bottom of the Post Reply box.

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 03:14

I tried that first but i kept telling me that the file was too big because the file is 2.6 megs since this is my first scen post some pointers would be helpful.

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 03:21

Sorry gentlemen i shall try this again

Use Apolyton's upload facility. You have a 20 Mb limit. Place a hyperlink to the file in your post, not as an attachment at the end.

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 03:34

Thanks i will try again

Do you know what URL i need to put in it?

Catfish · October 29, 2003, 03:43

OK, try this. This link works.

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 03:45

Gentlemen i am stumped! I have no idea how to post this. When i go to the upload service and access the area where my file is it is setting right there.

Catfish · October 29, 2003, 03:53

I posted the correct link for you in the post above. You did everything right, except you posted the wrong link. In future go to View File, right-click the file in question, copy the shortcut and paste the link in your post.

thorgrimm · October 29, 2003, 03:59

Thank you Catfish i am a bonehead when it comes to file manipulation.

Sorry. Lost the rest in a hard drive hiccup a while back.

I might get the chance to recreate them but not for a week or two.

thorgrimm · October 30, 2003, 00:23

Thanks i am in no big hurry. When ever you can get to them.

Cheers Thorgrimm

techumseh · October 30, 2003, 02:21

thorgrimm, do you want to include the @NEGOTIATION trigger in the events to stop the Martians from making peace with each civ after they capture a city? My recollection of H.G. Wells' novel is that there was no communications between the Martians and Earthlings. It would certainly pick up the pace of the invasion.

thorgrimm · October 30, 2003, 02:29

Yeah i did but since this was my first scen i couldn't figure out how to do it.

thorgrimm, if you're after Exile's permission, I strongly sugest that you contact him by PM or email (I think that his address is in the readme for Imperialism).

thorgrimm · October 30, 2003, 04:28

Actually i had to tear my copy of his scen apart to make mine i replaced bldgs units and techs. So no i am not looking for his permission and i have fufilled my obligation for recognition. i just want to make a good WOTW scen and his scen fit the parameters i needed. If he wants me to take it down i will honor his request.

@techumseh Thank you very much!

Thanks Thorgrimm

curtsibling · October 30, 2003, 06:41

@thorgrimm:

I woulds have asked Exile's permission before making this scen public, actually.

ravagon · October 30, 2003, 20:49

Yes, Exile in particular has been through this fairly recently and might be inclined to be a little, erm, temperamental about it?

The thread title is a fairly good descriptor though.

thorgrimm · October 30, 2003, 21:07

Sorry if i stepped on any toes guys

Not unreasonably, Exile has in the past insisted on a veto on such alterations.

If anyone had done to one of my scenarios what was done to one of his, I'd insist on exactly the same conditions.

Incidently, why don't you post some screenshots?
