About This File
This application will convert SimPlot 2.0 scenario files to the SimPlot 2.2+ standard. The converter will create the equivalent of a scenario setup file. This means the starting units will be positioned, named, typed, and course/speed/altitude/depth values preserved. The scenario start time will be the same as the original. Also, the assigned map will still be usable.
Some limitations:
- The file created will not re-create an entire game played using 2.0. Only the first turn setup will be preserved.
- The new scenario file will not include range arcs/circles, perceptions, or bearings since they are not compatible with 2.2+.
To use:
- Download and extract the converter application. You may place it anywhere, even in the SimPlot folder.
- Run the application. It consists of just one window.
- Enter the date of the scenario using the date picker. (2.0 scenarios did not have a date, just a starting time.)
- Press the choose file button to select the 2.0 file to be converted.
- A file named "NewReferee.json" will be created in the scenario's folder. That is your new scenario file for 2.2+.
