New to Civfanatics

[Vafloyd]

I have been playing CIV I for over ten years and still facinated with it's ability to to keep me occupied. Looking forward to finding out more on the site about this wonderful games.

Question though - I was told in order to get Terraform to work I need to email someone named Dack for the key. How do I do that and how does he send me the key.

Thanks - Vafloyd

Following the instructions in the Request For Registration Key text box. I am not always available but will send a key at the earliest opportunity. Only email request are accepted as the key is sent as an attachment.

1) What do you need to register?

You must be a civfanatics member and follow the programs instructions in the Request For Registration Key window. You must send your request by email.​

2) What does The message "All other tabs are currently disabled" mean ?

These are debugging screen that have not been deleted​

3) Screen size must be at least 1024X768

4) When updating to a new version, the easiest way is copy the ini file.If you install to the regular loctation it should be C:\Program Files\TerraForm\TerraForm.ini
Before you remove the old version save the old ini file somewhere. After you have installed the new version copy the old ini file to C:\Program Files\TerraForm\TerraForm.ini
This will save you from have to load the key and set the path to your map files

5) Windows ME/98/95
If you are using something other than XP note the following:
No testing was done on Windows ME/95/98 for version 2. No guarantees that this program will work on anything but a XP machine. (version 1 did work on Windows 98 ver 4.10.1998)
TerraForm uses the Windows Installer (MSI files) to install. In XP and Win 2000 unZIP the downloaded file and double click on the TerraForm.msi file. In ME and 98SE (ver 4.10.2222) it may install the same. In 98 (ver 4.10.1998) and 95 you will have to install the following.

1) Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98, and Me click here Look down the page and download InstMsiA.exe

2) Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) CORE 1.5 (Windows 95/98)click here

Windows 98SE needs WMI. ​
