I recently purchased BoA, and I have a question. Are BoE scenarios compatible?

Thank you. I almost made a dreadful mistake.

Technically, you can use the scenario editor to convert a BoE scenario into a BoA scenario (I don't know if you need the scenario's password). But the result, without a lot of editing (and ultimately redesigning the scenario almost from scratch), is buggy, unstable, and completely unplayable more often than not.

The BoA/BoE scenario converter is a crude utility at best. It's really only been used sucessfully a couple times, and only then there was still tens to hundreds of hours of work to do.

One of which was RoR, and the other two?

That would be 9 variations on point B...

A very informative work, by the way. Rather a tutorial for designing a scenario.

RoR wasn't one of them, actually. The only thing that ended up being ported was the outdoors; everything else had to be pretty much completely remade. :P

The only true ports have been VoDT, ASR, ZKR and 9VOPB, and even those have been modified a fair bit.

Me: Ooh! I can port RoR- it will be simple.

...
...
...

Me: Well, let's say I just fix up the towns...

...
...
...

Me: Well, maybe the towns are completely destroyed, but the outdoors look good.

...
...
...

Me: O... kay. Turns out the scripts are broken. And, for that matter, it would be neat if I made a totally different scenario...

Meaning you believe Jeff used his own porting tool? Jeff's BoA scenarios aren't excellent by a long shot, but they're too good to have been ported without a lot of redesigning...

Yes, Jeff used his porting tool. He said so during beta testing. You are correct in saying there was a lot of extra work.
