HOF V3 game -Kursk

[aksully]

And I will play the First Japanese turn on Friday to get things moving! Thanks to Bow for taking on Nature so the rest of us don't have to do so!

Here's to a fun game for all!

When you say e.g. 4/5 BB kills CA etc. do you take the unit health from before or after the battle?

lurker's comment:

I'd say after, but it feels weird to write it that way. A little more natural for the HP figures would be:

5/5 BB vs. 4/4 CA => 4/6 BB

But that's more cumbersome to write...

Hey Eric or anyone else...I have the game crashing during the load of the save. Says I am missing the V1 plant in the txt folder. I had downloaded the 3-14 biq file but is/was a new art/txt files that I'm missing? Did anything change other than the biq in between the end of FHTE and now Kursk?

Can't understand trade route system. OK, Commercial docks. But why no trade connection between Asian Japan and Tokyo? (no rubber).

Also, can Russia trade oil to Japan or it must go from Sumatra via units?

About the battle log...

GPS to Sully.

A couple of Indonesian outposts succumb to Malaria outbreaks
The militia of a Japanese rubber colony loses 1hp fighting off a malaria outbreak

The Anchorage militia loses a few brave men in a vicious gale

An American ship is badly damaged in a gale at Reykjavik
A Russian boat in Murmansk undergoes the same fate

A British militia in Darwin is nearly wiped out by malaria. A biplane wing falls into disrepair without the militia to maintain it.

This is a bug in civ, at the start of the game no overseas trade routes exist. As soon
as something happens, such as a road tile is destroyed or a new road is built,
the civ engine will calculate all the trade routes and Tokyo will be connected
to the Asian mainland.

Eric..did you get my msg and email about the error msg I sent you? I downloaded the 3-14 biq. Is there other files?

Check your pediaicons.txt file, does it have an entry like this in it?

#ICON_BLDG_V1_plant
SINGLE
14
art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\manufacturingplantlarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\manufacturingplantsmall.pcx

And are you using windows XP or one of those newer OSes?

 

[aksully]

Yes the file is there. I am running windows 7 which I have been using for awhile and when playing FHTE???

 

[aksully]

Just sent you an email with a copy of my Civ directory.....

 

[aksully]

Well guys...don't know what to tell you. Until Eric can advise me on the loading the save problem I am dead in the water. My C3C is otherwise working fine. And I had no problems having just finishing the From Here to Eternity HOF game. Sorry. Ive sent screen captures to Eric via email but no replies back yet.

No worries. Technical problems happen.

 

[aksully]

Bow, By chance are you using the civassist2 program mentioned earlier here in the thread?

Eric, did you make any changes to the art/txt files in between the end of FHTR and the beginning of Kursk?

Again, I loaded a save from FHTE and the game opened fine?

The only thing I've done since then is to download and extract the 3-14 biq into the Scenarios Folder.....

 

[Bowsling]

You've downloaded the graphics update? Because I tarted this in 3.14.

No, I did not use CivAssist, AFAIK, there is no working Windows 7 version.

 

[aksully]

Hi Bow, Yup I downloaded and extracted the two 3.14 files into the C3C Scenarios Folder and I see them there. I had/have no problems loading a save from the previous FHTE game. I can't figure out why it is crashing on the V1 during loading of your save??

Any other thoughts???

 

[aksully]

Bow..I may be onto something here...can you send me the the 3.14 biq file to me direct?

 

[eric_A]

I'm having a lot of trouble getting onto this site, today. Most times I try it says the server
is too busy. I'll check your screen captures tonight.

 

[aksully]

Eric...PLEASE email direct...I wondering if the 3.14 biq link could be corrupt? Send the 3.14 biq zip file for me to try..if that doesn't work then I will go to atomic gamer and start all over...

 

[aksully]

Ok folks I finally have the problem fixed thanks to Eric. I will do my best to play the turn tonite but NLT tomorrow and sorry for this delay. Thanks for everyone's patience!
