Also im woundering how good you all, im ok on SP mode but I find that i can easly bet the computer on most game and i start thinking im really good at the game then soon as i play online i get wiped out... and relise i might be good at it, but so is everyone else... and usualy betta than me *sigh*

We'll see i havent played you or gilg so i dont know but i played toni maybe 5 or 6 times? and hes better at some things than me and visa versa but i learnt alot more things getting beat by a human than i did winning against the ai

Glen · September 19, 2003, 07:55

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 07:58

Hey!
I sent Dan Quick an E-Mail with the above. Is it true that the team has been disbanded and, for some time, there won't be any future Civilizations ?
He also wrote that there could be a fan-driven, who'll continue the work. True ?
Maybe I could expose my ideas to him ? 'Cause I've got somethin' more

In little words, a combination of Civilization & Alpha Centauri would be the best sci-fi idea for a Civilization game.

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 12:38

Toni · September 19, 2003, 12:50

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 12:51

Glen you need the new servers.dat file, ive attached it just unzip it and replace the old one in your ...Call To Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp folder.

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 12:52

ok NOW attached

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 12:52

Maq.

no attachment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 12:57

same problem for me, even with your save.dat.........but are you sure about the position?

Toni · September 19, 2003, 12:59

G do you have the official patch for the game if not get it

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:00

Nop. Version 1.1 at least what I am being told at the main screen.............

Toni · September 19, 2003, 13:00

place the server data file where the application ctp2 is, or actually replace it with the one you have already there

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:01

Actually I searched the whole folder and it didn't exist at all, so placed it into ctp2_program\ctp

Toni · September 19, 2003, 13:03

ok get the first the patch is found at http://apolyton.net/dir/index.php?si...ts=4327&cat=30

install it and then place the server data file in the program folder

Glen · September 19, 2003, 13:04

ok which server do i go into???

Toni · September 19, 2003, 13:04

nl server

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:10

Just told me, patch is already installed...................

Does anyone have the full url, that I could check if it might be that our internal servers might be stopping it???????????

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 13:13

Im wondering that too, maybe the firewall at your work, if you have one.

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 13:15

The full url doesnt work anyway when you try it, its http://nl.alink.gamepoint.net/ and always gives "connection refused" the other server that doesnt work for ctp2 is http://games.igateway.net/

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:16

The one on my W2k, I switched off. No difference.........

I can ping/tracert it perfectly fine.......

Is it actually checking for all of them? (srever entries)

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 13:24

If you cant even get the servers screen up then i dont know. Are you sure you overwrote the old servers.dat file right? or sure its in the right folder? other than that i dont know.

Maquiladora · September 19, 2003, 13:26

If there wasnt a servers.dat file there when you moved the new one i attached, then delete the server.dat, then go into ctp2 and do the mp thing let it look for servers and create a new (bad) servers.dat file, exit ctp2 delete the old file and put the new one in.

Gilgamensch · September 19, 2003, 13:26

Can't see me getting somewhere..............

Sorry guys, I would have liked to get smashed

I'll keep playing a bit with the settings (also I'll try with a reboot)......

But don't wait for me....................
