What of the Civ Scenario Collection?

DarthVeda · May 13, 2002, 12:05

Are Allard and Andrew ever going to update it again?

Jay Bee · May 13, 2002, 12:29

Andrew never was part of the site...

WarVoid · May 13, 2002, 17:57

And I think Allard fell off the edge of the Earth...

I really do wish somebody would update the bloody thing tho...

Mercator · May 14, 2002, 18:04

But aren't all scenarios at the Spanish Civ2 site too now? And didn't you, JB, pretty much create CSC (or pick the categories or something)? So aren't YOU responsible? And are YOU updating YOUR site, I don't think so!

Maybe someone could revive CSC too... Or even merge it into the SLeague, to really make it the one-stop Civ2 scenario site.

No, thanks. Updating one site's worth of bad code is fun enough.

why don´t you consider it leo??

CSC was merged with the Spanish Site some time ago. Glad that at least someone noticed

Jacobite1688 · May 15, 2002, 12:40

So what...The CSC site is officially pronounced dead? If it is completely redundant with JB's fine site then why host it? Why not use the server space and pick up WarVoid's site or something like it? Or is this a lot more complicated then I think it is?

Well, not really, but the result is no different. He has showed his face again recently, but he suddenly just retired from Civ2 and anything/anyone related to it about 2 years ago.

CSC still has a little extra left, it has some graphics as well.

Merging CSC into SL would be a good idea, but putting all the scenarios up there, creating the necessary pages (and maybe even database or so), and actually updating it and adding new scenarios requires a LOT of work. So if you all really want it I suggest you all volunteer to help out St. Leo.

I don't know what exactly the criteria for hosting here are, but I do know that they don't ask people to get hosted (perhaps with a few exceptions in the past?). Actually, I do know some hosting criteria, but I don't think there's actually a single hosted site that matches these.

Not that I mind, of course, but it does make the rules rather silly.

MarkG · May 15, 2002, 16:34

i'm in contact with the JB, we'll have some announcements soon.

Darth be on alert. I hope you feel ready to get to work

as for our hosting program, the main rule is this

the sites must have something new to offer

no point for repititive content on the same server

WarVoid · May 15, 2002, 18:27

IIRC, I put all the graphics packs from CSC on my Arabic CivII Site (see sig).

So they ARE available elsewhere, if you know where to look.

Jay Bee · May 16, 2002, 12:13

WV, could you put them on the SLeague site as well? (only the graphics, not the scens)

WarVoid · May 16, 2002, 19:00

I'll do it this weekend when I add the PBEM page.

St Leo · May 16, 2002, 19:41

When adding single-file graphics packs, could you not zip them? Having to unzip a single *.gif is annoying and prevents one from finding out whether they actually want to keep it on their HD until after it's already there.

WarVoid · May 16, 2002, 21:27

I'll probably limit all the files to multiple-file packages. However, where a single file is concerned, such as Harlan Thompson's All Units file, it will be displayed, so all you'll have to do is right click and Save As.

Instead of cluttering the main site, i'll probably just subcategorise it into a downloads section where we can permanently place important downloadable files not held elsewhere (i.e. on 'Poly's main site, or the other hosted sites).

I don't want to take Markos' hosting generosity for granted.

Jay Bee · May 17, 2002, 03:06

Great guys

MarkG · May 17, 2002, 05:03

JB, could you reply to my mail?

Jay Bee · May 17, 2002, 05:07

sorry

I wanted to ask WV first

MarkG · May 17, 2002, 05:09

ok, good

Jay Bee · May 17, 2002, 05:13

I just sent a PM to you

Allard HS · May 17, 2002, 12:27

I am still alive... Just I have hardly any time for fun at the computer, and even less for playing civ, and still even less for updating a site as the CSC. What's more, I cannot even access it.

I would love it however, if the site would come to life once again. I am willing to give any kind of advice, etc. for helping people to do it.

Well, not exactly 2 years ago, really, more like 1 year..
Hey, I am still alive, and even doing some nice things on a new secret scenario that will be out in, ehm, 2 years....

MarkG · May 17, 2002, 12:30

allard does your registered mail still work?

Allard HS · May 17, 2002, 12:36

what do you mean my registered mail? You mean my adress with which I registered in the forums? Yes, that should work fine... Why?

MarkG · May 17, 2002, 12:55

Heresson · May 18, 2002, 08:00

Allard quitted about may, last signs of life by Him were in june.
He is good as dead now too.

MarkG · May 18, 2002, 10:21

said Hersson, 2 posts after Allard's last message

i'm pleased to announce that some decisions have been made, the results of which you will see very soon
Darth and Allard are currently in an NDA and will refuse to answer any questions revealing anything about it

Are you really going to set up a Hale-Bopp Cult Fan Page on Apolyton? Will it feature scenarios? Which one of you is designing it?

"said Hersson, 2 posts after Allard's last message "

I have read those messages before posting it, and I see no
reason for me to say anything different.

Allard showed his face again some time earlier in other forum.
