Converting a Mac-Deluxe scenario into a Mac-Classic Scenario: 1. First use the scenario installer to install the .SCZ file. 2. Don't worry about army or city sets and all that stuff. This only needs to work for scenarios with default graphics and standard armies. 3. Create a new random Classic scenario to use as a template. 4. make backup copies of both Classic Template and Deluxe scenario 5. Open both with ResEdit 6. Copy the CTY, ITM, RD, SCEN, SCN, SGN and SPC resources from Deluxe to Classic. For each of these resources, do the Get Resource Info and delete the Name. 7. Open the DAT resource and copy the "Sceninfo". Change the ID so the Deluxe version overwrites the Classic version. Don't copy the armydata or other resources. 8. Open the MAP resource in both versions. The Deluxe version is longer. But all the extra length is just zero-padding on the end! Delete all the extra zeroes in the Deluxe MAP until the two maps are the same (correct) length. Now copy the Deluxe MAP over onto the Classic MAP. Delete the name of the resource so that it is blank. (In Get Resource Info) 9. The NAME resource should not change until you decide what to rename the scenario on the Classic side. But make it purgeable to match the Deluxe version. 10. Copy the PICT resources for the scenario graphic and strategic map, eliminating the original Classic graphics 11. Now go to WarCorrespondent, open up the Classic army set you want to use with the new scenario (perhaps the one you ported from Deluxe? :) ), and use the "Insert into Scenario" feature to insert it into your new Mac-Classic Scenario! THAT'S IT!!! (Same procedure works for Classic to Deluxe, more or less.)
