Wow.. if you're back mate maybe we should release all those cool unreleased ToT conversions you gave me a while back. I'm still ages away from getting to the ToT stage of the preservation project and I feel bad that you did all this work just before you retired that the world hasn't seen cause it's just sitting dormant on my harddrive waiting for me to finish all my MGE projects and move on to ToT lol. How about I attach them all to a bunch of posts in this thread and then I can still do the planned resource pages with pictures etc on later date?
Gapetit and Tanelorn: tremendous work on the bronze age units and scenarios!
Regarding this bit.. it looks like Gapetit converted a special rare version of Nikola's scenario enhanced by Jeelen. The original Star Contact Part I that we host here at CFC has no sounds and it appears that Jeelen fixed the problem however Gapetit doesn't have the original copy anymore. Not the end of the world since we have his Test of Time conversion above still, but it would be nice to replace the soundless version we currently host for MGE with the fixed one. I've PM'd Jeelen/Agent327 about it however he hasn't visited the site for a few years and last we spoke he didn't have his Civ2 files anymore sadly. However I've also asked him if he did the same sound fix enhancement to Nikola Kuprešanin's sequel scenario Star Contact Part II: Star Wars Vs Star Trek, as our hosted copy of that has no sounds too.Star Contact Part I: The Star Wars Scenario by Nikola Kuprešanin (sounds added by Jeelen)
I keep the MGE scenario, but it does not include sounds... for the conversion I think I used other scenarios and modified some from the internet.Regarding this bit.. it looks like Gapetit converted a special rare version of Nikola's scenario enhanced by Jeelen.

A few of us probably have these old 2 scenarios in our collections so if folks could take a peak at their copies when they can spare a minute and let me know if they've got sound folders in them that would great as you may have the lost Jeelen enhanced/fixed copies I can preserve!

Oh dear.. so you had to add the missing sounds yourself all over again for the ToT conversion. I wonder why there's a note from Jeelen in the readme saying he fixed the sounds then. As I've checked and that note from Jeelen is not in Nikola's readme file in the original release on CivFanatics. So you've definitely got a modified copy of the MGE original but sadly I guess the sounds got lost again in that copy too lol.I keep the MGE scenario, but it does not include sounds... for the conversion I think I used other scenarios and modified some from the internet.
So true! Some of my Civ2 remasters were done for the same reason.. if it was a cool idea realting to something I love but just didn't look good or get finished.. I can't resist!forgotten for years for being too simple... but I always say that there is nothing that good graphics and some small changes cannot resurrect...
