    Cannot find art

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's right. This was a new unit I was trying to add (thanks Zwei833!), and I put it in that directory. My biggest problem was confusion over differences between Kael's discussion of unit art and Gedemon's. It turns out that I got this to work last night. I used...

    Cannot find art

    Sorry to trouble you. I have added some units to a personal mod, and they work great... except that the game cannot find the art for anything. Every unit looks like a spearman, though it has all the stats and such that I assigned for game play. I used Kael's tutorial as my guide, but I note...

    Apache/PHP/MySQL problem

    I haven't seen that message before, but it seems that they are trying to communicate that the apache php module does not match the library. Wild guess: there were two or three rpms that you loaded from, and they gave different versions of php pieces?

    help with C++

    That's not what the instructor wants. He/she wants something like struct { char my_character; int my_integer; } my_structure[num_elements]; That way, you can refer to the stuff inside as e.g. my_structure[i].my_integer. You can also allocate the memory dynamically, or...

    Wireless Internet Help

    Do what Ainwood says, but also ask yourself, "do I have a wireless phone?" We're not talking about a cell phone here, just a wireless in-house phone. Those typically use a frequency around 2.4 GHz, which is in the same range as that used by your 802.11g setup. For a while I lost my wireless...

    Pathing backwards in html

    Chairman Meow's suggestion will work, but you have change the number of ".." specs depending on where the html page is in your directory tree. I can't count, so I always just refer to pages with reference to the document root. That way, even if I move the page, I don't have to change the html...

    Civ III editor

    First, make sure you save your .biq in the "Scenarios" folder. When you start conquests, select for "Civ Content" (or something like that - I forget, and don't have Civ here). Select your .biq file and go. If you are particularly daring, you can make a backup copy and then save your .biq...

    Gifting Cities

    Once I had a rather unsuccessful game in which I owned my entire continent, and an opponent was taking over his continent. Since it had been pretty unsuccessful, I had no appreciable tech lead over my powerful opponent, and hence no real interest in attacking him near the end of the game. I...

    How do I activate this?

    I would do it by putting in a <form><input type="submit"...></form> button, linked either to a CGI script or a Javascript code, or maybe having it on a php page. If you need something more dynamic yet, consider Flash...

    Pathing backwards in html

    If it is in your document root directory, then <link href="/yourstyle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> will work from any directory. That way you don't have to count how many subdirectories down you are, or type the entire URI. Starting any href or src specification with "/"...

    Help with Jaquar Warrior Rush

    Well, I have only done the Jag rush a few times, so I'm probably not the right one to answer this. However, since no one else did, here are my 1.5 cents. I only use a Jag rush for a luck victory on a tiny map. The idea has been to see how quickly I can win. It requires AIs that are close...

    background colors HTML curiositiy

    It interprets the letters it can understand (a-f) and assumes any others, or those left out, are 0. Thus, what -> #00a000, when -> #00e000, away -> #a0a000, and atacam -> #a0a0a0. If the word is longer than six characters, then the browser tries to begin at the beginning and end at the end...

    Something is screwy with my internet

    Yes it's definitely a problem with your DNS or DHCP. You could also just disable and then enable your network connection to reset all network parameters.

    Victory Condition Milestones

    It all depends on the level you are playing, the kind of map, and ultimately how the AIs are doing. It is not possible to fix any years at which you could say what is to happen. I usually start with a particular victory condition in mind, and work toward that to the exclusion of others...

    Just wondering.....

    To be a game designer/programmer, you should probably learn C++ first. After that, knowing some Python and/or Lua would probably be good, and you'll want to have a good understanding of software for creating 3-d graphics. To be a more general programmer, learn C++, Java, VB (a lot of small...
