Mac PBEM Help Needed

I need some help configuring saved Multiplayer PBEM games so I can run them on my Mac - as I'm soon starting a PBEM for the first time.

What file type info. do I need to apply to ".net" PC saved MPGE games - i.e. I need to know the correct 'Type' and 'Creator' info (e.g. in 'Hot Seat' games Type=Cv2H and Creator=Civ2). I've guessed that it might be Type=Cv2N/Creator=Civ2 9as ever)... but is this right ? (I'm using ResEdit to change file types/creator info).

Also, do I run these under Hot Seat or TCP/IP when I load up ? Part of the problem is that I can't run them as TCP/IP, as the computer i play Civ2 on has no modem (an old 7100/80), and the Mac I use for internet access (G3/500 Powerbook) is configured for audio only (lots of weird extensions etc) - I just move files between them on floppies :crazyeyes

Hope someone can help !

Hi,

Yes, you need to run the game as a TCP/IP game. It doesnt matter if you have a modem or not because you only are playing the game, with yourself. You needn't be connected to the net at all.

I don't know the answer to your other questions as I use a pc, but I'll tell Henrik about this thread and maybe he can tell you whats up.
