How do I? - General SP - 09-02-2007

Okay how do I download unplayed scenarios so I can try them out?

Is it under the scenario listings page? And if so where is the download link?


Thanks

Hi General,
Do you mean under downloads\Blitz scenarios FTP section?
Or from other net places?

Gary,
I guess you messed up different databases. What we were / are playing are normal stock scenarios. They come along with the game, so no need to download them. When I mentioned Blitz scenario database I meant this (step by step procedure :), which I do ) :
1) start the game (SPWW2 or SPMBT)
2) choose scenario you want to try
3) open The Blitz website
4) go to G4 Supply - Scenarios
5) check if your opponent has this scenario reported (in my case I also check if I played given scenario, I played so many I cant remember anymore which were played)

There is also another section of the Blitz called H2H, which has scenarios for betatesting, but thats a different story.
Rumour has it there is also Blitz FTP database, but I dont think its in use.

Is this all clear now ?

I too have enjoyed the scraps with maciej (even when he wins) :)

The FTP section of the Blitz is not a DB per say, it's simply a section set aside for members to upload and download files.

The H2H section is a DB section as is the scenario search section

The scenario files won't be in the DB if the member who inputted the data didn't upload the file.
Only CUSTOM scenario files can be hosted, stock scenario files are NOT hosted, as you must own the game anyways to have them.

The files can be uploaded at a later date by modifying the scenario Data.
However, without permission from the author, this can sometimes become a headache, so be sure to ask them if it's ok for us to host their files.

Someday, I'll make a permissions page listing all those authors who have expressed consent, so users may check prior to contacting the authors repeatedly, if its ok to put their files up. (most do this themselves anyways)
