Wait, what do you mean by 30-minute sessions not being possible if one generates plenty of maps, and come back to them later? The game clock only starts and keeps running (and therefore is only relevant) if you continue a game? Not that the game clock keeps running if you're simply generating...
An update on MapFinder, namely useful tips for other people who wish to make use of it:
- The games actually DOES check not only the center and surrounding 8 tiles, but also the next 16 surrounding tiles. I've confirmed this. So it's not not only the BFC tiles, but also 4 tiles extra.
- There...
Ok, and about the first point, my assumption is a reload may never be performed before at least 30 minutes are played? For me this is important to know since there are times when I can't even afford to play it without being interrupted for 30 minutes. Yes, there are times where I can, but it's...
I want to do my first HOF entry, and I have a couple of questions about the following rule: ''Games with reload rates deemed to be less than 30 minutes per session will not be accepted.''
1) How is this meant exactly? Does this mean there has to be at least an average of 30 minutes playtime...
Absolutely phenomenal news: it works! But it was a lot of work. I had to install XP on VirtualBox, download a GOG Civ III version manually (somehow attaching a file from the main OS didn't work), as well as many other in-between steps I won't mention, even though MapFinder does work by attaching...
Thank you very much. I'll take another look at it one of these days. As long as MapFinder saves properly, and doesn't stop after only 10 maps, I would be very happy.
About 2, what makes you think it's hopelessly optimistic? Is it the lack of jungle and marshes? Or perhaps that I'm specifically...
Alright so I actually have good news after having the GOG version, even though there is also some bad news attached. The bad news is that I get an error while trying to launch it from Windows XP. However, the good news is that I tried this version on Windows 11 Home, and for the very first time...
Okay I actually managed to install both Mozilla Firefox and MapFinder/MapReport on Windows XP successfully! However, now I run into a new problem: I can't open up Civ 3 from Windows XP because it must have Steam running... Do you know quick solutions for this?
Never mind, I just managed to successfully install Firefox on it! The site I shared worked, but I had to download the link by adding '.exe' to it. I could then successfully install.
And yeah I tried what you shared but didn't mange so far to do it that way. But it's not needed anymore.
Even...
Unfortunately, I was already one step ahead of you and have watched it before you wrote this post. That site (mozilla.org) is inaccessible from IE by now. I believe it became inaccessible somewhere last year.
I can still access http://www.oldversion.com/windows/mozilla-firefox/, however, that...
I got Windows XP installed on VirtualBox. However, I still can't run MapFinder. I can't download it from Civfanatics, since it can't be accessed from IE. I also can't seem to download Firefox or Chrome to access it. I tried to access it from my pc as a shared file, but it doesn't seem to...
