EF Budapest Gambit Corrupted Files

[Tiger 88]

Commanders - I thought that with the new CS features in trying to play an older scenario - upon opening the scenario - would update or bring it to the new version? Is that my misunderstanding? What should I do to bring older scenarios into current version?

Thanks for any help!

Hey Steve, what it will do is assign a generic base for it, what are the scenario files, maybe can help?

EDIT: Never mind, found them, checked it out for an hour or so, edit log stops at the Russian AA Tank, data in the description is hosed. Tried everything I could to rectify it, but no dice. It would take longer than I have time for to really figure out what is going on. A shame, seems like a fun one too... This scenario should be removed from the database until it can be examined better using CSlint tools.

EDIT #2- Here is the output from cslint scenario check-

I removed the download link, but left the scenario info intact with an explanation. That way if the designer sees it and wants to work on a fix he can upload new files without too much trouble. Anyone know Bruce Paris? I can't find a member by that name.

I would like to figure it out, but at present it eludes me, if it is too old, might be something really stupid. The org loads, the map loads, so it is something in the scenario itself, could be a unit, or some data entry, his date was wrong, but I messed with all that stuff for an hour or so to no avail. It must be deeper than that, too bad... Looks like he designed it at least 13 years ago, so some incompatibility is my guess.
