In Response To: Re: Pfh'Joueur (Steve Levinson)

: You're talking about one of my favorite scenarios of all time. I've played it
: on my MacBook Pro with both Tiger and Leopard with both the previous
: release and the current release of AO without any hitches. It plays great
: and as far as I could find, there are no bugs at all - however -
: installing the scenario requires a working version of Marathon Infinity
: and even though the installer works on an Intel Mac, it seems to quit with
: an error message. Perhaps the installer just can't work with a classic app
: on an Intel Mac. I haven't tried working with the generated files to see
: if they work, but I don't think that all the files are there, so I think a
: novice user would be out of luck - you would need an older Mac capable of
: running Classic and a working version of Infinity (not just the downloaded
: version from Bungie that lacks the application) to generate a working
: game. You also need to download the AO scripts for Pfh'Joueur from the
: website, which hasn't been updated since 2000.

: I know she's still around, but she hasn't updated anything on the site since
: 2003, and the link to her employer is no longer functional.

: At one time, I was working on a spoiler guide for Pfh'Joueur, since it is one
: of my favorites, but that is so far down my list of things to do right
: now, it isn't even funny. At the moment, finding full-time employment is a
: slightly higher priority - my wife and I would prefer not to lose our
: condo. When I get a chance, I'll try to at least put a working version of
: the Pfh'Joueur scenario on my web server - I doubt that Candice would
: object to that. If I can find her, perhaps I could help her update her
: website. Maybe I could even talk her into creating high-res textures for
: the scenario. That would be sweet.

Thanks Steve, it would be great to play it again, but in the meanwhile good luck with finding employment. I think I did try and play it a few years back on the release of OS X that didn't have Classic support and obviously it wouldn't run. I do have an original working version of Infinity also, but Pfh'Joueur definitely needs to be ported to the new iMac! I'm kinda waiting for something new to play in the Marathon world, I was hoping on Where Monsters are in Dreams but who knows when that will be finished. Once again, thanks for your reply.
