Could changing ptw.ini give me popup's?

[lets-eat-gary]

Hi people,

After months or trying i still haven't found a way to get the really useful pop up screens in multiplayer ptw.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59432

The pop up's i'm talking about are :-

- when you have discovered something
- when you have built something
- when you have been attacked
- etc

They are missing in simitanious and turn based multiplayer games - Without these popups the game is really not fun.

I was wondering if fiddling about in the preference line in ptw.ini would help?

Sorry for posting this in 2 forums but i didn't know which one i should put it in - plus i really want the pop up's! I have reverted to Alpha Centuria (which has all the pop-up's} until i sort this problem.

ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

I'm pretty sure a box doesnt pop up in multiplayer for PTW, you just have to know what you made (although I thought they were available in Turn based mode).

It DOES say when you've been attacked, and I think you can press x to go to the unit under attack.


Discovered something like a tech? I'm afraid after you research a tech, it goes to the next one without checking with you. To try to overcome this, keep track of the techs in mp and get ready to switch it once its researched. Or set a queue.

I don't think the ptw.ini will do anything, I could be wrong though.
