Hello everyone!

I am looking for the Similtanious Patch for Civ 2!


Can anyone help me find it please?

I had it once I remember , so it exists.

Thanks in advance!

Bye

I meant to say, the patch which makes it able to play similtaniously (turnless) in civ2 multiplayer

I am personally not aware there is such a patch. The game of Civ 2 is hard-coded to be turn-based. Maybe someone in the Multiplayer Forums might know. You might PM Cedric Greene or Mercator... they are pretty knowledgable about patches.

I don't multiplay myself, but I've actually heard of this...
Open the Civ.ini and add a line saying: Simultaneous=1
But I guess you already knew that, and were looking for for a program that sets it automatically (since it is reset everytime you start Civ2)... I am aware that some people wanted such a patch, but I have no idea whether it actually exists.

In short, you'd better ask around in the multiplayer forum, as starlifter said.

 

[Cedric Greene]

I believe that all you need to do to have it be simultaneous every time is change the 0 to 1 in civ.ini and make the file read-only. Could be wrong.

If you know a little about programming, you could replace civ.ini with a file you want (the one with =1) and then start civ.exe. It should be possible with bat-files.

@echo off
copy sourcefile civ.ini
cd path
civ2.exe

then save this as civ.bat and run it.

change sourcefile to the civ.ini you want to use and path to your civ2-path.

I think this should work

I see several people were on the right track.... they were describing how to do it manually, and Cornmaster's program does it for you automatically .

This is actually not a program patch, or even a mod. It justs changes the simultaneous line in the civ.ini file, then sets the file attribute as read-only.

Here is the screenshot I took, for reference by those in the future who are interested:
