MOO2Civ

[Agent327]

Got 'em! (No reply from TF yet? Should I PM him?)

 

[Agent327]

Just wanted to mention my PC is down, so I'll be able to post but not much of anything else...

 

[Agent327]

The good news is that MOO2Civ (Patch4f) FULL INSTALL is now past 3,800 downloads.

"words are very un-necessary..."

 

[Agent327]

Most enlightening link... but what's the thought? (Put it in words, please.)

@woodelf: Just examined your Avenger up close - looking really cute! (Can't download right now, as I've explained...)

with regards to the dyson sphere, there was a star trek tng episode with a dyson sphere. I must assume he is referring to this. How it is relevant to moo2 im not quite certain.

 

[Psyringe]

Dyson spheres are a common topos in "hard" science fiction. They certainly would make sense in the MoO universe (which already has artificial planet consruction). However, MoO2 does not have them, so if the goal of this mod is to recreate the MoO2 universe in Civ4, then there shouldn't be Dyson Spheres. If, however, the goal of this mod is to recreate MoO2 and *add* to it, then Dyson Spheres would certainly make a natural fit. (Personally I don't really have a preference, but I think that sticking to MoO2 content for the time being would probably be the better course of action, one can always add new stuff later).

I think it's too cute personally, but can't figure out what I did differently other than work on it on another computer.

 

[Agent327]

Not too cute; it looks just like I remember these units from MoO.

As concerns Dyson Spheres: I think leaving them for Star Trek mod would indeed be preferable for now.

Having trouble extracting program... using 7 zip when I extract it to program files/etc I get an error message after 92 mb..."Cannot open output file" with a list of where the output is going C\Program files\firaxis games...etc any suggestions on what im doing wrong? I have Vista

 

[Agent327]

Hm. At first glance I'd suggest trying downloading & unzipping again. (If the problem persists, I'm kind of inclined to blame it on Vista, which seems to have trouble with more than a few mods...)

 

[woodelf]

Not just Vista since it works for me.

 

[Agent327]

Ah! Well, that's at least - partially - good news, as my new PC will have Vista as well.

I use winrar for that type of file, although windows didn't seem to want to let me. I used the when I picked winrar to open it, it wouldn't save the choice so I had to go into folder options->file type and add it manually.

The good news is that MOO2Civ (Patch4f) FULL INSTALL is now past 3,900 downloads.

I also got my new PC today, so hopefully we'll be back in business soon.

Unfortunately I now know exactly what you're talking about, as upon reinstalling MOO2Civ on my new PC (with Vista) I have the same problem...

If anybody (preferably with Vista) could contact me, I would greatly appreciate it, as I can't really do anything without a working MOO2Civ (Patch4f).

 

[Agent327]

OK, never mind the previous post: I've downloaded twice, asked Zippadeedoodah to upload his downloaded version and I still get the unzip error... I guess the next patch won't be a Full Install...

 

[ahab345]

Thanx I guess I gotta wait for the new patch?? Now I cant open the mod at all from the civ menu since i loaded in patch 3.17

 

[Agent327]

What I mean is: since I now don't have a working version of MOO2Civ, all I can do is add in stuff (without me being able to test any of it). I have no idea why a mod version that was perfectly alright before I had Vista installed, now won't unzip properly.
