Wanderer Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 I made some scenarios on my mac a few weeks ago. I now use a PC, and I wanted to transfer them over. I got them onto my PC but when I click on them to play them the game immediately quits out and I cannot get to them. I think it is because I made them just text files. Has anyone else had this problem. And can any one help me. Thanks. ------------------ * * * * "I love it, God help me I do love it so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 How did you get them on the PC ? With a PC formatted diskette inserted into the Mac ? I think the file should have been written out so that the resource fork is separated from the rest of the file, but I'm not sure on that. Can you open your scenarios in a text editor like Notepad ? Can you open the scenarios in the Scenario Editor in CM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted March 7, 2001 Author Share Posted March 7, 2001 On my Mac I turned them into text instead of being a Mac Binary file. Then I e-mailed them to myself. I cannot get to them using the scenario editor, it quits out when I try that. ------------------ * * * * "I love it, God help me I do love it so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 the E-mailing may be the problem use a disk to transfer the files or if the Mac has no floppy use DropStuff before you e-mail them (its in the internet folder under utilities I think) it will let you compress a file into a zip or even a self extracting file for your PC ------------------ "The Trouble with Normal is it only gets Worse" [This message has been edited by jeffsmith (edited 03-06-2001).] [This message has been edited by jeffsmith (edited 03-06-2001).] [This message has been edited by jeffsmith (edited 03-06-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted March 7, 2001 Share Posted March 7, 2001 Just zip the scenario and everything should work out fine. I have had some problems with .zip archives created on PCs being corrupted after they touch my computer, but nothing the other way around. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.
