Okay, I'll do that. :)
One more related thing, though. I know there's a trick to change the map pack's
parser version in one go, but I forget how that's done. I thought it was a
trick in the TB menu but I can't remember what it is. I can't find it in the
user guide or the map creation guides or anything. :(

I'm not really sure what's going on with Austin. Maybe a year ago or so was
making two or three really amazing map packs. He never finished them though. I
think at the time a lot of updating was going on with tactical battles which
would've caused him to practically rewrite the map pack a couple of times. I
suspect he just got frustrated, but for all I know he is right now training
cybernetic squirrels to steal the moon, grin. I would suggest sending him an
email and see what happens. If he doesn't respond… Then I would just say go for
it. I may be wrong but I think Kingdom at war was the first map pack to be laid
out in the story format. Al From: ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Whatever became of Austen Perry? Hi,
Among other packs, I downloaded the "Kingdom At War" series when I first got
TB. Apart from the frustrating grammar, the pack seems pretty good, but it's
old. Parser Version 2 old. What happened to the creator? I suppose I could send
him an email but I'd feel a bit invasive doing that. I just think that pack
should be updated to comply with the current parser version and maybe have the
grammar tidied up a bit and it'd be good to go. New content would also be kinda
cool but as the guy's probably no longer on the scene, I can hardly expect that.
I was just curious.
On a slightly related note, does anyone else hate the default map music as much
as I do at this point? It doesn't suit every situation and the Kingdom At War
maps don't have their own music. I'm doing my best to give each of mine their
own, even if some tracks are re-used. I like appropriate music for each map.
