Convert Multiplayer Game to Single Player

[Ferral_Parrot]

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a game in multiplayer to singleplayer?

I played Continents small map but after some people left or was defeated it is only my a computer left. It is still a fun game and I am in full war with one computer player.

However I am annoyed that the timer still is ticking, also I can only continue this game when I am online (Be starting new multiplayer game and load this game)

Is there a way to convert this (by hacking or otherwise) to a normal single player game?

Thanks Guys!

Just curious...how many turns did you get to play before everyone bailed?

I've always figured you couldn't really play much of the game because of this...never see much of the Renessaince era for example.

Or maybe I'm jaded from play on marathon for so long and it comes quicker than I recall!

I mostly play open games (anyone can join) on pangea map. Mostly somone get killed or leave within 30min. Then someone maybe need to eat and leave after 1h.

Then only 3 people left and one get bored. Just 2 people left after 2h (at this time we have muskets and maybe grenadiers). He wants game with more people and leave too.

I am new to civ 4 but I think thatpeople use password protected games and invite their freinds to get through games that lasts for 4h on blazing speed up to total conquest or spacevictory.

Anyway....I would like to be able to continue a broken MP game as single player!!

Let me know of you have any ideas!

I'd actually like to know this too - I have a game in a mod that started as MP, but is now crashing and I'd like to be able to open it in WB and see if there's an issue that I can see with unique units/techs being researched by AIs.

I've been searching for an answer to this for quite some time, but this is the only thing that shows up.

So I'm going to pull a necro.

I don't know what kind of game you're playing but this is what I've done for LAN and IP and it works.

Go to multiplayer, load game. Load the save, choose your civ, and start the game.

A Vote screen immediately comes up regarding the lack of other players (whether to wait or continue). Choose "Save now and continue playing" and AI will takeover the empty player slots. You can now play it like a single player game.

But if you save it, can you actually load it up as a single player game henceforth?

Bumpity Bump.

Why would you want to? As far as I know you cannot.

You can still play it by yourself just following the steps I posted.

Still looking for a way to do this.

You can't use the worldbuilder.

No its not. I tried to switch around files but when I go to load the save it says "You can only play this in multiplayer!!".

is there a hex editor somewhere in the customization and creation forum that could do this? I'd look there. something that could edit savegame files.
