EDIT: I'm keeping the old conversation for reference, but if you find this you're looking for fixes for old Civilization 2 batch files. Well, here it is, courtesy of JPetroski.This works for errors saying that the files are incompatible with current version OR the batch loads but closes immediaely on opening.
You can fix these batch files by adding if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" goto winxp underneath the "echoes:"
echo Please choose from the options below:
echo.
echo 1. Load Winter files 1941
echo 2. Load Summer files 1942
...
echo.
and then adding this:
:winxp
set /P choice=Type a number (1-3) and hit Enter:
if %choice%==1 goto Winter41
if %choice%==2 goto Summer42
if %choice%==3 goto Winter42
if %choice%==4 goto Summer43
if %choice%==5 goto Winter43
if %choice%==6 goto Summer44
if %choice%==7 goto Winter44
if %choice%==8 goto Summer45
if %choice%==9 goto Winter45
if %choice%==10 goto done
goto winxp
below the error levels:
if errorlevel 10 goto done
if errorlevel 9 goto Winter45
if errorlevel 8 goto Summer45
if errorlevel 7 goto Winter44
...
I TRIED to look this up elsewhere, nothing worked.
Now unlike most old batch files, Windows 10 executes them but closes the second it opens. Standard responses like putting CMD/ K at the end of the command line or opening the batch files from the Command Console didn't work. I read that would keep the batch file open, instead it immediately closed the command promt.
nd this is a little more tricky to set up than the usual setups so just doing it manually is gonna be tricky at best. And I searched this in Civ Fanatics and In Nomine only appears once in the entire site and it refers to the EU 3 DLC. searches on batch only produces suggestions that do not work on my computer.
