IntelWeenie Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 While vainly trying to decide what battles to play this past weekend, I relaized I had WAY too many scenarios to easily "thumb through" them. I expect this will happen when CM2 comes out, as well. Therefore, I would like to open discussion on diferent ways of organizing this (who knows, maybe we could get it into CM1 ). I see several possibilites: 1) Leave it as it is. 2) A hierarchal sorting method. (subdirectories/folders) Players can create their own directory names depending on preference. 3) A simple listing like now, but sortable by date, forces, size. 4) Other? My preference would be method #2.

Pham911 Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Agree with #2. Also, gotta request that maybe in some patch there could be an option to delete scenarios and not just saved games(with conformation, of course). There are quite a few pretty lousy scenarios out there nowadays, and as it stands I have to remember or write down the name, and manually delete them from the scenarios folder, which is a pain if you're trying new ones all the time. And, just slightly off-topic food for thought for designers out there: If your spelling isn't great, use a spell checker. It's a rapid turn off to sit down for a scenario and find that 1/3 of the words in the briefing are garbled. It's very hard to play the scenario through after you're told the equivellant of "I didn't care enough to proof-read these three paragraphs".

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 It would also be nice if CM would indicate the date you added the scenario because I keep forgetting the name of scenario I had just installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 I like option 3. It has customizibility but keeps the game interface smooth looking. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

Mace Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 I think a filter option would be quite handy (ie. option 3) Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No smileys, no sarcasm, I just happen to agree. I do extend a blanket exception to those for whom English is not their primary language. I am grateful to such people for making their contributions despite the language barrier, and they should not feel criticized or embarrassed. I could not even take a stab in any language other than my mother tongue. PS I presume that your spelling of "equivalent" was intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
