One question about TOT eventfiles?

[The-Paladin]

I've heard the eventoptions of TOT were greatly enhanced but unfortunately I did not found any article that states out which new features were exactly implemented and the manual didn't say anything about it. I'm curious to know if there is an article somewhere out there I'm thinking of creating a scen and if there are sooo many new features perhaps I will do it in TOT-format. My second question is if there is also the possibility to find an eventcreator or do I have to do it manually?

So that’s it for now hope you can help me.
With best regards
Paladin

The more complicated aspects are explained in these tips from the Cradle of Civilization, here: http://coc.apolyton.net/guides/index.shtml William Keenan and Cam Hills have written two excellent tips on the use of flags and masks. Otherwise, you just have to follow the Scenario Macro Language section of the manual.

And no, there is no events editor. It's all manual.

Hey thank you the articles are very helpful but ???Scenario Macro Language section of the manual???.

I think this is something they scraped in the European version of the manual instead they described on 3(!!!)pages how do you insert the CD and install the game Do you know if there is a possibility to download a copy of this section somewhere?

And finally are you the creator of the Blood and Iron scen for TOT? Hope you didn't scrap the idea and still working on it because it looks very promising and I would love to see it finished.

Sorry, I don't know where you can download the manual. And yes, Blood and Iron is my half-finished project. I don't know when I'll get around to finishing it, though.

How legal would it be to post a file here that summarizes the ToT triggers? I got tired of looking for my manual (I swear the d**n thing can teleport), so I created a Word table....

I hereby authorize you, in the name of the SMC2SL&CFAofA.

yes they have forgotten to include macro.txt with the non-us Test of Time

read ths sleague tips sections to now how to use flags and masks and if u want the others macro.txt options, download "Aide-ToT" from my website http://eyn.free.fr (ToT section "utilitaires") it contains the macro.txt of the us version

Have you looked on the ToT CD? I bought ToT in a jewel-case only, and it didn't come with any sort of paperwork... But the manual was available on the CD in PDF format.

Thank you very much Eyn. Didn't know so many new events were possible now I'm sure my new scen will base on ToT. Also the scens are very good you offer on your site.

Merci infiniment de votre aide.

Hmm not sure if this is completely right my French is a little bit rusty.
Yup Mercator checked the complete CD because I assumed there might be a file but no there was nothing (so they scraped this file only for German and French customers;now I'm angry oh just kidding )
