Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My first scenario is finally ready for beta testing. Please say your name (Real name, please), email address, and what system you are using. And I think I only need 3 beta testers since this is a short scenario.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh ya, just remembered to ask this, how can I sent a Mac version? Edit -should I send it to all at once or one at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 For the Mac version, you need to have a Mac user (I'm assuming you're not one) convert your custom graphics for you and create a new zip archive. By the way, opening the Mac archive on a windows system will only give you a ruined version, so after you make any changes, say, at the end of beta testing, you should have a Mac user make a new archive for you. Note that if you have no custom graphics you won't need specialized mac and PC version of the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have custom graphics. What is so different between Mac and Windows graphics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Mac BoA graphics are in a cmg resource file. Windows BoA graphics are in BMPs. Unfortunately for Windows designers, only Macs can handle cmgs at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 You can send it out all at once or one at a time, it doesn't matter. It makes the most sense to send to all your Mac testers in one email and all your windows testers in another, because otherwise you'll have to upload the file over and over again.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Okay, all sent. Hmm, would someone be willing to convert my scenario into a mac version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I will try, but I can't promise it will work. Edit: I've already converted scripts, I need to port the graphics. I also need to do all that other porting stuff. So its still not a promise, but I'm pretty sure I can take care of the Windows to Mac port. Edit2: Wow, converting the graphics is easier than I think. Expect me to e-mail you a mac version tomorrow, unless I encounter some sort of severe problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a report that doesn't suggest making the party a singleton and dumping loads of scripted combats THAT AREN'T EVEN THAT GOOD into every town, and "OMG! It needs to be more like BoE!", then I suggest ignoring Lazarus. In fact, just ignore him generally. Edit: Report sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Iffy, if you need additional help, feel free to send it my way (no need to convert the graphics, I can do that myself).

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Iffy, I've made a working Mac version. I will send it to you shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Okay, thank you everyone for your reports, Excalibur, I have a new version just so you know. Want me to send that to you? And Ephesos, email sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Okay, that means I'll have to port it again but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 A couple of recommendations: scripts need no alteration between the Mac and PC versions, and there's no reason to re-port the graphics unless they have been changed. Thus, it's usually best to port once at the start of the beta so that Mac users can test, and then once again when the beta is done and bugs have been fixed to create the final distribution copy of the Mac version.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Iffy, report sent. And for the most part, good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Report sent Edit: I forgot to mention in the e-mail that you should change the level suggestion to 40-50 instead of 40-45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
