Reformatting Woes

[nmcul]

This isn't a Civ 3 problem, but it is a Mac Civving problem. About a month ago, I started playing a bit of Civ 2 again-just for a few turns or so-and winded up halfway through a somewhat long scenario. Unfortunately, at about this same time, the old man decided to update the firmware to the computer. The end result was that the hard drive Civ 2 was on was completely reformatted. I reinstalled Civ 2, and came here to look to replace the scenario I was involved in. Unfortunately, from what I have read in this forum and seen on the downloads page, the Mac scenario page no longer exists. A version update and that fairly annoying palette issue prevents me from simply using the Windows version. So what I'm asking is if, by any astounding stroke of luck, someone who reads this, happens to have the old Imperialism 1870 mod rotting on their hard drive, could they mention it? I would be extremely grateful.

Oh, I did, I did. Their collection was... less than helpful.

Does a PC version of the scenario exist? It is really easy to convert it to the Mac for Civ2. I'm sure there are conversion utilities, but really, all it takes is converting all the .bmp files to .pict files and .wav files to .aiff files (I'm 90% sure that's it).

[EDIT: Okay, maybe they are .pcx files? In any case, GraphicConverter can open most anything.]

GraphicConverter and SoundApp can get the job done (GraphicConverter can even do batch processing!)
