What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Hattius Rattius - 02-25-2009 Chaps, Can someone tell me what the asterix (**) means in front of the scenario name in the scenario database. :chin: Thanks in advance... RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Herr Straße Laufer - 02-25-2009 A single (*) was to denote scenarios designed for the old Project Blitzkrieg disks. The double (**) is for those scenarios designed in version 1.04. I think they were the accepted standard of the Matrix team. One of them can point out my mistake if I am wrong. :smoke:  Ed RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Hattius Rattius - 02-25-2009 Thank you.....:) RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Herr Straße Laufer - 02-25-2009 You are welcome, though I have just scrolled through the dBASE and found that the Project Blitzkrieg scenarios also have the double (**) in front of the scenario name. Some of the version 1.03 (1.04) Matrix release have the single (*). I guess they can let us know? ;) Ed RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Huib Versloot - 02-25-2009 In theory (**) is the official indication that it is a scenario that requires Matrix JTCS to run properly. However the old Blitzkrieg project 1 scns also carry the (**) and are not yet converted for use in Matrix. I think (*) was originally meant for Project 2 or 3 (westfront and never completed). These scenarios where included in Matrix but we forgot to add an asterix. All in all a bit confusing. for new (matrix) scenarios I would like to encourage the designers to use the (**) Jason please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jason Petho RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - 1925frank - 02-26-2009 What exactly are the old Project Blitzkrieg disks? I'm thinking that after Talonsoft went under and when CS went unsupported, the Blitzkrieg members put together a number of their own scenarios (scenarios designed independently of Talonsoft) on one disk (memory card/CD -- disk would have been the proper terminology before DVDs and CDs) and shared them with one another. Is that right?

Jason Petho RE: What does the * mean in front of a scenario - Reddog - 02-26-2009 Wow was it really back in 2003... that just seems like it was yesterday. I still remember nearly knocking over the mailman when the PB#2 arrived. Quite the mile walked since those days... now... it's still getting better... IMHO |
