I have to reboot, it'll take 5 mins

Still waiing...

While your rebooting, I was thinking, if I can host, next time you can play at home. My home unit is hyper-linked to my work station, so the IP is the same.

Alright, see ya tomorrow.

Does your apocalypse folder contain 12 items and have you never touched it before this?

My theory is that the entire scenario folder must be exactly the same. Same size, same names, same number of files. So even if you have an extra irrelevant file, like a saved game, it will assume that the scenarios are different and use the default civ files.

I didn't see this till just know. I never touch the scenarios that are hardcoded to the CD. Any time I tried mucking around with them, I get an error message, followed by a 'you have perfomed an illegal act' message, then shutdown of my system. I can't even extract units and terrain from it. There might be a way, but I'm a hardware guy, I know next to nothing about programming. I can't even figure out how to make a scenario! I suspect it's easier with FW, but people make scenarios with Gold also, so I'm sure it's me.

Did you get the updated labels.txt file?

According to Smash, FW scenarios can be played multi-player so that is not the problem.

I have tremendous difficulty getting into the forum from home today. Had to try ten times just to post this message.

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

Yes I did get it. let's try another test on say, Tuesday(Wedsday for you) at 1 pm your time (midnight for me), as the shift change has me on 11-7 this week.

See my latst e-mail and we can make plans. To summarise - I managed to do it with someone else using the FW version straight off so the MGE is not an issue.

I see you are here, Kob. What happened to the e-mail game?
