Slipped through the cracks.

Please send it to me again.

akulla,

Head down to Tulum for a great beach away from the sunburned tourists.

Wittlich · April 4, 2004, 19:57

Ok folks.... I'm taking it that the turn is currently with Akulla who, I assume, is currently sunning himself on the beaches of Cancun until 8 April....if this is in fact the case, well, I wish you a pleasant vacation Akulla!

For the rest of us poor souls - consider this a thread bumped.

*Bump*

SirOsis · April 4, 2004, 21:39

I'm waiting for the turn from Samuel but I haven't heard anything from him lately. I'll send him an email.

SirOsis · April 8, 2004, 19:50

He's going to send it Sun or Mon. Maybe we can get this thing rolling again.

Cool.

akulla's back now too (since he posted in another thread) so let's get this thing back up to a turn every day or two like it was.

Hey guys, just FYI..

I have done some testing tonight and this game is indeed compatible with v1.22 as it's a "modded game". However not all PBEMs are compatible with v1.22.

So I'm including what I did to still be able to play in both v1.15 and v1.22 by interchanging.

Before upgrading to v1.22, make a folder called V1.15 in the Civilization directory (not the Conquests). Copy (not cut) EVERYTHING in the Conquests folder over to the V1.15 folder. Then use the patch upgrade to v1.22. Then make a folder called V1.22 in the Civilization directory. Copy (not cut) EVERYTHING that is now in the Conquests folder over to the V1.22 folder.

EDIT: If you have separate folders for 1.15 and for 1.22 then all you need to do is hit the .exe for 1.15 to go back to 1.15 to play that version. Then click on the 1.22 .exe file to go back to 1.22 Thanks to UnOrthOdOx for that.

Anyway, that seems like the easiest way to me to be able to switch between versions for now. If anyone has an easier way please say so.

That is pretty much how I set it up as well. Jesse posted something on what files to move at one point.

I actually went back and used his original post to try that, but that's when everything screwed up and I had to completely reload the game. Apparently certain things are different now. That's why I just copied the entire 1.15 directory over.

Re-sent, Hi everybody, welcome back

Rhothaerill · April 12, 2004, 22:08

Welcome back Samuel. I can't wait to finish mauling everyone...err playing this game again.

SirOsis · April 13, 2004, 01:54

I've played it with 1.22 so we're up2date.

Wittlich · April 13, 2004, 09:42

2800BC Turn sent to Conmcb.

Wittlich · April 13, 2004, 09:43

Thread post didn't register... *bump*

Wittlich · April 16, 2004, 21:03

*Bump Again* ... Though, for some reason, my posts don't bump threads.

Conmcb, you still with us?

conmcb25 · April 17, 2004, 00:27

Sorry about the delay, I have been swamped with home improvements while the wife was away this week, I didn;t realize it was going to take so much time.

I tried to load tonight in 1.15 and got a "Data Systems Error, does that mean we are plying this in 1.22???

If so I need to know.

Thanks

Rhothaerill · April 17, 2004, 01:11

Yes it's 1.22. Take a look a few posts up at SirOsis' post about going to 1.22.

conmcb25 · April 17, 2004, 13:47

OK I dont really want to do this but can you give me a link to how you did your dual install Rhoth?

:sigh:

Rhothaerill · April 17, 2004, 13:51

Take a look at Beta's new PBEM Info Thread

Or go up about 12 posts in this thread.

I think we have a disconnect, or maybe I missed something.

I have replayed 2800 using the 1.22 patch. I am ready to forward that to akkula.

But Ill wait to hear whether that is the correct turn or the last turn.

Right now Im confused.

SirOsis · April 20, 2004, 10:21

2800 is my latest so I think that we should be good.

Wittlich · April 20, 2004, 10:23

That would be the one con. I would say go ahead and forward it to akkula.

conmcb25 · April 20, 2004, 10:31

OK guys and again my apologizes for the delay, the last thing I needed in the last week was trying to figure out a dual install with my pea sized brain

2800BC to Akkula

akulla · April 20, 2004, 11:10

I haven't upgraded yet. This will be a problem due to other more important games I am playing will get back to you.

I have heard some bad things about the upgrade such as

- zord says that discovering radio destroys all your factories.

If you have the hard drive space for it then you can do a dual install per the third post in The PBEM Info Thread That way you can play games in both 1.15 and 1.22.

Regarding the bugs, radio was removed from the tech tree for 1.22 so there isn't any way for it to be discovered anymore.

SirOsis · April 20, 2004, 13:31

I prefer 1.15 right now. The black city screen on completion of builds in 1.22 is annoying. You can still see other players games as I found out when I hit continue game instead of save game in one of my PBEMs. I thought this problem was fixed.

I'll still stick with 1.22 but I hope Firaxis does something to fix the black screen.

Wittlich · April 24, 2004, 13:57

As a heads-up, my mother-in-law has passed away and I will be out of town next week to attend her wake / funeral (down in LA). I will leaving tomorrow morning and should be back next Friday.

SirOsis · May 3, 2004, 13:24

Where are we at with this game? All these patch issues are slowing us down.

conmcb25 · May 3, 2004, 14:23

I kind of figured it killed the game.

I can ply at 1.22 0r 1.15 for now. But when a stable official patch comes out, Im going to one install, because I think the dual install is a pain in the but.

Beta · May 3, 2004, 23:05

Ok - so we stick on 1.15. Is that what folks want to do? I am easy either way. And we have lost Samuel who apparently has gone MIA. I will ask another member to take over his spot.

Let's get this game going again. we had a good pace and it was starting to get interesting.
