Play editor: Which version do you use?

[Mitch-Oilers]

I have 96 and 97 work. I have 95 loaded and most functions work well.

What am I missing here?

So you run plays more effectively in some other version than '98. How does that help when we run the games in '98?

[Mitch-Oilers]

@Charlie - I just tinker with the other versions for fun. I don't use them to create content for the PNFL. I know some functions of PPP creation are transferable between versions because I've copied some VPNFL material into the other versions.

@ Mitch What is transferable from '98 to '95? It would be fun to have a solitaire VPNFL '95 league.

[Mitch-Oilers]

@Neil - I don't remember exactly, but I believe I was able to load and save profiles from 98 into the earlier vetsion without much problem.

The issue became with the plays. I can't remember why, but i believe when i added a play from 98 to a plan in 95 or 96, it diagram would show. I can't remember if thats because I loaded tge plays straight from tge VPNFL folder or if i had dave the play in the earlier version format. Probably the forner...

I am still very interested to know who uses which play editor.

[Shuggy-Packers]

I just can't seem to get FBPRO96 to run in DOSBOX... it installed for says can't find CD when I type HIKE. Neither Virtual Box nor VMWare can get windows 98 or 95 running.... seriously does 98 put out the same quality plays as the earlier versions?

[Shuggy-Packers]

OK. Finally. 96 is up and running. I ultimately found a program called D-Fend Reloaded. Use it to install from a 96 CD then add it to the library after installation. It works with Dos Box. Anyway, my 2 day OCD episode is over and I can go back to the 90's.

I would love to go back to the 90's or 80's even. Gas below $1 would definitely be worth it! To answer your question, I haven't submitted plays in this league yet, but I've always used the 98 editor to do any play editing/creation. I haven't really thought about moving files between 96,97, and 98 in some time, and have only carried one copy of the game these years.

[Mitch-Oilers]

I've only used FBPRO98 when creating plays for the PNFL.
