Aeson,

There is not a choice on the submission page under version for PTW 1.27f. Should we submit under 1.21 or do you want to change it first?

 

[Aeson]

The PTW 1.27f option has now been added to the GOTM and QSC submission forms.

Will there be spoiler threads for these games also?

The words of Cracker, immortalised in the opening post of this thread:

Also please not the spoiler schedule and starting condition in advance. The first spoiler thread for this game will not open until August 25th and any participants in the spoiler discussion must already have the full world map plus have either entered the industrial age or already submitted their game.

@cracker/Aeson : I am submitting my save now .. BUT I have a problem. On completion, in the final turn, after giving me my result (win/loss, so much time played), GAME crashes with following :
" LOAD ERROR"
ERROR READING FILE
Missing entry in "scenarios\gotm21\test\pediaIcons.txt": HURTN_RACE_JAPANESE

The game will now exit"

Because of this, I cannot give you final firaxus score, nor a save after completion. I have submitted previous turn save, and given previous turn score, with an asterick. Please see this and determine correct firaxus score.

Alternatively, maybe tell me how to fix pediaIcons.txt ...

CiaO

PS - apologies if this is in the wrong forum - I didn't know where to post ...

ALso, I notice that my save game seems to have been renamed to "Wanderer_MP54_PTW121.sav" by the upload ?

Something else which might be related to the same problem: I'm not seeing a leader head for Japan in my game in the F4 display, just getting a question mark for them.
I'm using the PTW Predator game - are you also using PTW Wanderer?

(Edit: ) Wanderer, I see from your last post that you are using PTW. I believe that the upload process renames your save file based on the info you enter with the upload

I have had the Japanese thing happen in my last few games. So I went looking through the folder. The pediaicons.txt file located in the GOTM 21 folder in the Scenarios folder (C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Scenarios\gotm21\Text) is missing the Japanese refrences.

It seems that the Minoans info got written over the Japanese info.

You can copy the missing lines from your pediaicons.txt file in your regular Civ folder (C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Text) and paste them into the text file that is missing them, and everything will work fine.

This is what a couple of lines from the text file look like.

#HURTN_RACE_AMERICAN
art\leaderheads\AB_CONQ.pcx
#HURTN_RACE_Minoans
art\leaderheads\Strathclyde_Small_Beatup.pcx

Normally the Japanese come after the Americans in the list, so I just copied these lines from the other file:

#HURTN_RACE_JAPANESE
art\leaderheads\TO_CONQ.pcx

and pasted them in so that it looks like this:

#HURTN_RACE_AMERICAN
art\leaderheads\AB_CONQ.pcx
#HURTN_RACE_JAPANESE
art\leaderheads\TO_CONQ.pcx
#HURTN_RACE_Minoans
art\leaderheads\Strathclyde_Small_Beatup.pcx

There are several of these that need to be replaced, but once I did it everything seems to work fine.

It would be much simpler to copy and paste the entire pediaicons.txt file, but I wasn't sure if there was other stuff in the Scenario file that we needed.

If you try this, you might want to make a copy of the file first.

@Sir Pleb - I recall not seeing Jap head as well, now that you mention it.

Thought the game renamed ... thanx for the confirmation

Thanks for this, bigchief.

I pm'd cracker but I guess he's been too busy to sort it out. I'll try this out today and hopefully now be able to submit my game.
