DB updates

OmniGod · February 8, 2001, 23:06

I've decided to post here the updates that are done to the db since there are a few minor version changes that wouldn't show up elsewhere. So tonight I have added an update to two files.

Withdraw Script and Diplomod both by Dale.

The update includes a fix for the problem where the withdraw script caused the game to be dumped to the desktop. A minor fix but something important. I suggest downloading the update.

Other than that nothing is new, but I'm waiting for some great mods that are in the early stages. If you'd like to be a alpha/beta tester for these mods and will provide some constructive critism (mainly balance and other ideas) then please come to http://mods4ctp2.homestead.com found on King Arthur's Court. Presently there is cradle of civilisation by hexagonian in the works. Others will surely follow.

The cradle mod is being commented on in the following thread. http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum48/HTML/000076.html?35

Umm, should have read CTP2_Creation first. My mistake.

New to the db on Feb 9, 2001

Map of Middle East by OmniGod
Size: 210x210
Created using bmp2ctp2 conversion.

The map was designed for the crusade scenario being started by Mephistopholes and thanatos.tod. They requested a smaller map and then I made this. There are no goodie huts or goods but this is a great map for aspiring scenario creators. Goods and huts can be added using the editor.

Slow day I know, but that's all that's new for now.

Hey Markos, any chance I can get this stickied to the top so I can edit my postings instead of making new ones all the time, since I think I'll be the only one posting in this thread

February 10, 2001, 21:20

i've toped it, but continue to make new posts instead of edits to n existing post, cause eitherwise one who has visited the thread one will not be able to see if there is something new when you make an edit

OmniGod · February 13, 2001, 23:30

And the DB rolls right along with 2 new additions.

Modifications/Units

Collection of Catapults

Contains the Blue Catapult -Apolyton Pack and Brown Catapult -unknown

Mods

City Mod in English with modification by Chris Horscroft.

That is all for now... Thanks

OmniGod · February 26, 2001, 20:44

Sorry there haven't been any updates lately but a few things have come across my desk and I hope to get them up soon. I've also setup a temp site for people to upload files to me since my email isn't larger than 2 megs and people seem to want to send those mammoth files to me all at once... then email me and I'll get you set up.

Thanks

EDIT: removed website address since there are some problems, email me to get it and to upload... unless I can get a new email addy.

Omni, you need to update the sprites DB with BlueO's units, and post the smaller Amazon sprites he made after he learned how to use the clear palate instead of the color black.

OmniGod · March 3, 2001, 20:58

I don't have a copy of the smaller sprites, thus I can't update the db with them... as for the sprite #'s I've just updated the list in creation.

OmniGod · March 4, 2001, 21:40

Last map addition til next weekend... hope you are all enjoying the maps. The final one for this weekend is

Map of Italy
Size 210x210
Info: Without any start locations, goods. Major Rivers are included as inland waterways (not using the river tile).

OmniGod · March 5, 2001, 14:11

Okay I lied

Two additions came to me late yesterday and you definately want themm.....

Dale's Diplomod version 3.3 http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ctp2/db/review.cgi?ID=530

Dale's Withdraw Script version 1.2 http://apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ctp2/db/review.cgi?ID=574

That should be it...

OmniGod · March 6, 2001, 21:45

Two additions on this lovely Tuesday...

Update to diplomod 3.3 to address issues listed in the mod forum.
Size 110Kb

***********
Something I'm proud to announce... (sure I can hype my own works

)

World BMP Map
Size: 21600x10800
Size 12861Kb
Info: Also includes a readme with info how to use bmptoctp2 convertor and how to save a scenario/map. You will require the convertor, WinZip and WinAce to unpack the map. Note the map is 225Megs big... so if your low on harddrive I do not suggest this download. It's coloured properly and you should read through the readme fully before changing size/cropping/making map.

Enjoy...

Who wants to put money in so we can buy a Supercomputer to play the full world map on?

Rommell to a sub-commander outside Tobruk: "Those Australians are in there somewhere. But where? Let's advance and wait till they shoot, then shoot back."

OmniGod · March 13, 2001, 15:02

Another new addition...

A real world map/scenario
Author: Dorian Credé
Size: 400x400
Info: This is basically a regular map with start locations but also includes some edits to the units file thus is termed a scenario by MarkG's guidelines. This is based on the bmp World Map.

OmniGod · March 20, 2001, 12:33

Couple additions to the Db this morning...

Dinotopia Map
by Eric McIntyre
This map is a 130x260 map of James Gurney's Dinotopia as illustrated in his book "Dinotopia". Player locations are not set. This map is for CTP2. Size 130x260.

Diplomod Final 3.4
by Dale
Changes:
- Embassies re-create after a war (if had one before the war).
- Disabled the break agreement proposals since it only works for half
the time and I can't find the resolution.
Note: Is it really the final... we will see

OmniGod · March 20, 2001, 17:23

Thought I had a little time, I'd finish the basics for my latest map... next up is Byzatine area...

Map of Japan & Korea
by OmniGod
Map of Japan & Korea. Size is 210x210 without any start locations, goods or rivers. Rivers should come with version 2. Complete with Mt. Fuji.

Note: To all ddl'ers, the number of votes in the map section isn't increasing... let's give the mapmakers, scenario designers, graphic creators and mod makers some feedback... vote as you ddl... it's really easy, just click on the vote, leave a little feedback and then we can figure out what's good, what's not and what to improve. That's how version 2's come out.

OmniGod · March 24, 2001, 00:37

New tonight is the beta for Hannibal's newest scenario....

SPQR Hannibals War
by Hannibal Ad Portas
THIS IS IN IT'S BETA STAGE... The first scn dealt with Dacia, this one deals with Carthage and their 2nd Punic War with Rome,regarded by most as Hannibals War. Scipio, a roman consul, by chance puts in at Massilia for supplies where he expects to find Hannibal. A sharp cavalry action follows and Hannibal's forces march to the alpine pass...

While it's a beta, it should be a nice addition to the SPQR series... ?Is it a series? Should it be a series... only your votes can encourage this great scenario maker.

OmniGod · March 26, 2001, 20:48

Two new files for the ACS Ctp2 community tonight.

Collection of Cursors

OmniGod · March 27, 2001, 00:23

Just received another new file....

Fix Mod
by Klaus Kaan
This mod is not a real mod but more like a patch that Activision should have made, it corrects some errors that are possible to correct without changing the source code of the .exe itself.

OmniGod · April 22, 2001, 13:42

The DB is up and running again, and here are the new additions... just waiting for the scenario in testing to be done and they'll be up there too...

CivCTP Building Images new

Chris B · April 22, 2001, 17:23

JUST TO AVOID CONFUSION...
Martin's pics include blancs of ctp2 icons and are more apt for tga makers. Mine include the big, small, and tiny pictures for those who don't mind having black tgas in CTP2.
I am not trying to compete.
