75% !! Its just annoying that i have to wait for the crack to come out (i lost the real version when moving house and had to buy a copy)! hopefully the scenario editor wont need the crack to work!

 

[Exsanguination]

[Immortal]

i love the new editor!

 

[Chris85]

Yah!!!

It's up to 20% on my lightning fast 56K modem with only 42 long min to go!!!

This is torture, I can't wait!!!

 

[kingjoshi]

anyone have success getting the zoom to 25%? I've tried it on several maps and all sizes

 

[simplybag]

Again they make us insert the damn CD. Annoying.

 

[kingjoshi]

simplybag, if you have enough HD space, then just make an image of the CD with a program like CloneCD. Then, using a program like Daemon-Tools, you can just load the image and Windows thinks it a CD-Drive. I have an 80GB HD, so I have many CD images on my HD so I don't have to get my CDs or take a chance that they might get scratched.

 

[Exsanguination]

yea, whats up with not being able to zoom 25%/500%?

 

[uknemesis]

I can get them easily enough... I'm using a generated tiny map...

[kingjoshi]

I tried a generated tiny map. I was able to get 500% but when I try 25%, it alway says "The selected zoom level is unavaible for this map". maybe it's only certain map seeds, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

And this seems more than just a glorified map editor. I mean, placing cities, units, fixing the civs and all that points towards a scenario editor. It just isn't complete yet... But the progress is wonderful and I definitely appreciate the work Mike put into it.

I also appreciate the other aspects of the patches and PTW by the other Firaxians

I looked through the BIC, and as Gramphos hinted, they added UNIT, CLNY, and CITY. They also added SLOC for starting locations. I don't know how we'd do Diplomacy and I hope Gramphos proves me wrong. It would be so much easier if they'd tell us how we could do it ourselves, (hint, hint to Firaxis). I've been combing the SAV file format and there is so much we don't know...

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

wasn't the zoom just in the editor???

 

[kingjoshi]

yeah, I generate random maps in the editor (tried all sizes) and tried all the zooms. I only had problems with 25% level

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

yes it said editor: zoom.... blablabla
there, it works fine

 

[NiteCreature]

* Editor: Added code to disable zoom on systems that don't support it.

Maybe one of u has one of these 'systems'

[Chris85]

Yes, its done downloading and it only took 53 tantalizing minutes to get done.

It's time for me to get my ass off the forum and take this patch for a test drive.

 

[Jon Shafer]

At the risk of my own saftety, it took me 45 seconds to download the patch with my cable connection.

 

[Lt_Tarantulas]

near 300 kb sec speed...
