Up dating scenarios at the scenario depot

[George MC]

I'm looking to update a scenario I've posted at the scenario depot. whats the best way to do this - update the text and email the new (modified)scenario or do I have to resubmit the whole scenario including text? Cheers!

George,

There are two schools of thought:

First, by using the Authors Only login, you can update the scenario synopsis details to the new version, then send me the updated file. This has the drawback of having reviews associated with a version to which they no longer apply. If you haven't used the Authors Only pages, it should be fairly self explanatory. If not, send me an email and I'll be happy to help.

Conversely...

Second, add a new entry using the new details. No drawbacks hee except having to re-enter the details a second time. Send the new file to me and I'll upload it.

In the next iteration of The Scenario Depot (currently under development) authors will have the option to upload their own scenario files when they submit the scneario details, thus eliminating the need to email me the file.

I'll look into allowing the capability (via the Authors Only pages) to "clone" an existing synopsis so that the tedium of data entry can be somewhat relieved.

Note that the upcoming enhancements to the review system will automatically indicate to which version each review applies. Therefore, it will be necessary to only maintain one scenario synopsis entry for all versions of the same battle or operation.

Good to know those improvements are coming Admiral. Its probably hasn't been said enough so thanks for putting in all the time to provide that excellent service for the CM community.

Many thanks for the reply. I'd like to echo Han's comments - its an excellent job you do managing the Scenario Depot - and its a fantastic facility.

I'll pop the updated scenario in an email to you shortly.

Cheers fur noo
