The Apolyton CTP2 Source Code team proudly presents the Apolyton CTP2 Edition Revision 1055 from February the 20th 2010.
This time we have a a lot of crash fixes, AI improvements, game graphics improvements, and a new minimap relation view.
The game, for instance, does not crash when you try to load a saved build queue for a city without any items in the build queue.
The AI now calculates its city production, food, gold, and happiness ranks correctly. This way it does not use the same build list in all its cities. It can now more different things across its empire.
The graphics are now double buffered. This means you do not see anymore how the stuff on the screen is drawn bit by bit, but is now drawn in one piece. Additional, a bug that causes from time to time a short blackening of the screen. This removes strain from your eyes and you can play longer.
The minimap got a new view relations options. With this you can see on a glance who is your enemy and who is your friend. They are displayed in different colors. Blue is for you and your allies, green is for those you are at piece with, yellow is for the neutrals, white for those you do not know, and red is for those you are at war with.
The Apolyton Edition can be directly installed over CTP2 v1.0, v1.1, or v1.11.
If you found a bug please report here as much relevant information as possible. This includes how to reproduce the problem, an attached screenshot or savegame may be helpful. If the game crashes (terminates without user intention) then include a crash log. You can enable crash logging by editing your userprofile.txt (in [Your CTP2 directory]\ctp2_program\ctp\) to set EnableLogs=Yes. The log can then be found at [Your CTP2 directory]\ctp2_program\ctp\logs\crash.txt. Please do not attach the crash.txt to a post, instead include the content of that file in your post.
For further changes check out the change log in the readme.
If you cannot forget the past here is the previous thread.

Fixed: City turns to growth and production display now updates on begin turn and on city growth.

Fixed: If a unit gained a health bonus from a wonder and the wonder is lost the unit's health is reduced to the health without wonder. Fixed: If the AI needs for a goal a transporter it takes the transporter army pair that are closest to each other, this way the AI sticks to its decision and does not change transporters and armies for a goal all the time.

Fixed: The game does not crash id you load a build queue into a city build queue that has been previously empty. Fixed: Cities that prevents slavery will only reduce slave raid change by the given percentage instead of stopping it entirely. Changed: Increased settle values for dessert and swamp so that the AI will eventually also will these areas, so less space for humans. Fixed: Tiles with tunnels do not use the move costs of deep sea for ships, instead they use the move costs of their terrain. Fixed: The AI calculates the goal priorities correctly, even if they are in diferent order in startegies.txt and goals.txt. Fixed: The AI stops building settlers if there is no space left. Fixed: The AI uses surpless settlers to increase the size of small cities. Fixed: The AI builds land settlers and sea settlers at the same time.

Blue is for you and your allies, green is for those you are at piece with, yellow is for the neutrals, white for those you do not know, and red is for those you are at war with. Fixed: Fixed a problem with AI transporter handling, that also may lead to a crash. Fixed: Fixed a problem when fort vision is removed because the tile under it had died. Fixed: The drawing system does not try to use an invalid memory pointer, this led to flicker artifacts at best and crashed at worst. Fixed: If a mod does not specify a tile improvement sound than the game handles it properly. Fixed: The AI does not try to use boats that cannot reach the target continent. Fixed: The game does not crash if a unit with a flag from a dead civilisation should be drawn. (Units of dead civilizations are not removed when a civilization dies but later) Fixed: The mouse scroll wheel now works in all list boxes.
