question
Ok, I've been away for a looong time (almost a year). I want to buy Ctp2, but the deciding factor is hotseat. I've tried to read everything about ctp2 in the forums I could, but it was alot to catch up on. So anyway, how viable is playing hotseat in ctp2? I know there are some bugs, etc., but what are they, and have any of them been fixed? I remember hearing about a fix for person to person diplomacy using slic... is this in the works?
Thanks for any help  .

So far as I know Hotseat works fine, but human to human diplomacy is still missing. I have no idea if Locutus is still working on the slic human to human diplomacy. So if you want to buy CTP2 only, because of Hotseat I would suggest forget it. No one enjoys it if human to human diplomacy is missing. If you want to have a single player strategy game you can buy but you have to use mods like MedPack, Craddle or Apolyton Pack.

Other than the human-human diplomacy thing, there are no serious problems with Hotseat that I'm aware of. I just played another MedMod game on Hotseat yesterday and had no problems. Because of the diplomacy problem (which I'm indeed still working on but will take a while to finish as I'm very busy) playing Hotseat against humans isn't much fun, but as a single player game I still enjoy it. Picking your own opponents beats the hell out of random opponents. I mean, having the Romans, Greek, Phoenicians, Persians, Egyptians, Celts and Germans in a game feels so much better than Romans, Americans, Aztec, Thai, Bantu and Swedish...
MaglevMan,
Hotseat is playing a game on a single computer but with more than 1 human player (though in CtP's case 1 human player is still possible but contrary to regular games it allows you to choose your opponents rather than having them randomized). To set it up you have to change a value in one of the ldl files. I don't know anymore exactly which one (and it's too late for me to look it up) but I'm sure Martin or someone else can tell you...

It is the spnewgame.ldl, you just have to remove to minus signs. If the two buttons should appear the code should look like:
|
Code:
|
EmailButton:SP_BUTTON_BIG {
string text "str_ldl_EMAIL"
int xpix 36
int ypix 490
int widthpix 140
int heightpix 32
}
HotseatButton:SP_BUTTON_BIG {
string text "str_ldl_HOTSEAT"
int xpix 186
int ypix 490
int widthpix 140
int heightpix 32
} |
