Ok, I fixed that too. Turns out the program had compatibility settings on for vista sp2..

Ok, I managed to fix that, but now I got a really strange problem - whenever going into menu it keeps popping up the "loading" background screen with empty loading bar. By alt-tabbing from and to the game I can get back to the normal menu, but once I do any action (like click on menu item), the...

Hi! Just returned to this, installed RFC marathon from here http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=14903 and after clicking it shows the spinning thing a few seconds and then just goes away without any visual output. I tried loading it via BTS "Load a mod" but no luck...

I just played a SMAC (terran.exe) game with 444 AI patch from alphacentauri2.info. Morgan used Green and Spartans rebuilt their HQ in a base that was central to their territory (not sure if on purpose or by coincidence).

Hi, Darsnan! Yea, it's amazing to return and see some people whom I recognize and some whom I seem to recognize. I also found t_ras and Lazerus on alphacentauri.info. :) This game seems to stay for long in people's minds. Are you still playing and CMNing? Do you know others we both...

Hi! There are two outcomes to a faction being conquered (total conquest): A) Capture and interrogation B) Escape with a colony pod Is there a way I can get the B to happen? I don't have access to either of the factions and have commlink only to the conqueror. Conquest happens during...

The scaled-up map as you see it is not ready. I use it because I think it will be easier to make due to being partially made by script and the in-game coords passed through a proxy function. Also, I outlined some flaws of "best Earth map", which I would have to fix for it to work properly with...

Right, I thought of that too. I don't know what the plots you named are though. I figured I need to at least correct the starting locations for it to be loadable. I only want to load the game without advancing a turn. It should be enough to show that it can use the map.

Ok, I figured one problem out - the rivers were not quite running properly as I had imagined that Y is counted from top to bottom, not vice versa. Now that is fixed, but the map still crashes even in RFC (it contains swamps and cotton - both from RFC). Are there any good ways to debug it...

Ok, now I need help. :) I've exported the map. It's a basic upscale - each plot in RFC original map is made into 4 plots in this map. If there is a river running "around" the plot, it runs "around" all 4 as if it was one. I used all of the part that contained "BeginPlot/Endplot" chunks...

This is exactly what I'm doing. I have identified these steps: 1. upscale x4 (x2 on each dimension) 2. straighten rivers 3. average out terrain height 4. average out humidity 5. average out vegetation / ice 6. automatically determine location of bonuses 7. add/change bonuses by hand 8. sort out...

Can somebody remind me where the stability and settler maps are stored? I have forgotten where to look for them.

Ok, why not add more? RFC already seems to need more spots for independents as they often seem to make nonsense cultural connections and shift troops between cities quite a distance away.

Let's continue this discussion. First off - I don't like GEM. Three particular reasons I noted by playing just a couple of games with GEM: - ability to found a city that is BOTH on Nile and on Red Sea - tundra in all kinds of places, where the climate is very far from tundra - blocking...

Am I right to assume this mod has nothing to do with this game: http://apolyton.net/forumdisplay.php/32-Clash-of-Civilizations
