TETurkhan Test of Time (Map & Mod)

hi tet,

been reading the entire thread all afternoon. it seems you've handled all the issues i've been dealing with since i first played CIV3 without knowing it. i'm really looking forward to playing your mod! too bad it took me so long to find it (didn't even try it out on the PTW disk although i own it:crazyeye: )

keep up the great work, i admire your efforts!
 
tet: got an ETA?

Not that I want to hurry your amazing mod, just want to plan a Succession Game for your new mod! :D

i will try VERY HARD to have it done within a week two weeks TOPS....
 
Hi Tet,

so if I am not mistaken from your name that you are from Turkish origin ? And you are already living in Canada ?
And now want to go back to Turkey ?
Really ? Did you loose reality ? The average income in Turkey is 300 USD ! People from there are fleeing to CentralEurope, their only industry is Tourism and you want to start a life there. Even there are nice people, but many and a mean a lot af man there have a strange double opinion of behavior. On one hand they are muslims, and pray not to drink, eat pig, live without sex and so on but on the other hand they are chasing European girls and harazing every girl, that they want to have sex with them, but try to do the same with their girls. You know, what the brothers of your so called girlfriend will do with you ? I think you could imagine. Maybe I am little bit not good to speak with Turkish guys, my only fights in the streets I had with Turkish guys. I am going myself to Fitness center, was playing American Footbal as Fullback ... and that Turkish guys always had a big mouth, but always were running away, only if they have been two times more than they suddenly have been strong.
And you want to leave Canada to go there ? I am there once a year for holidays, because they are cheap for us Europeans, it is okay for Holidays but nothing more ...

AND BY THE WAY DID YOU EVER MEET THAT GIRL or only over the Internet ? Come down to eart or better be warned, there are stories about Americans and Europeans that they lost much money till they were able to get back to their country ...

But it is your life, it is only my experiences I had in my life and I am sorry to say, that the most evil experiences in my life I had with Turkish people, but of course there are also nice one, but for me their muslim behavior is the worst, on one hand muslims and on the other hand prostitution, drugs, alcohol ... be there and you will see it !
Don't waste your life, even if your origion is maybe Turkish ,,,

But if you are Turkish at least one, where I got some good work back in my life ... so stay how you are and not try to be like them ...
make your right decision it is your life, you don't have a second one ...
 
Hi TETurkan,

Please understand that my begging and nagging for information was not meant as a criticism of you, but done for a love of the TET mod :love:

I really am amazed at the amount of effort that goes in to this, and if I say I don't appreciate you enough I beg forgiveness...

:worshp: :worshp: :worshp: :worshp: :worshp:

I saw the pic earlier and you are a very lucky man. I wouldn't worry too much about what Tzar Alexander says, he seems to have a very one-sided opinion about turkey, and god only knows why...
 
I echo Anarres' statement Tet! I didn't mean to insinuate anything other than how much I love the mod:D No nagging was intended:-) I mean, I GUESS you are allowed to have a life outside of making our gaming more exciting;) Keep up the good work, train hard (I can't even spell marathon let alone run one!)
 
TET, glad to hear you're working out and taking care of yourself. It, too, do not mean to nag, just love the mod a lot! I am a social worker, so I reacognize how important it is to have a life outside of work. Good luck with your move to Turkey if you go through with it. Tzar Alexander said some pretty strange things (Enlighs must be second language I gather?) about it, but bottom line I think he just meant 'be careful.' I have no idea why anyone would live in one country and not another to design software/games, but I'm sure you hvae your reasons. Good luck with all you have going on.
 
Hi there,

yes I meant he should be very careful, special if Tet isn't Turkish origion. And I am compared to the others, very close to Turkey :-) only two flight hours, it is Austria and we have so many Turkish people in our streets, of course only men, I don't know where the girls are :-) and I even have some Turkish friends, who are integrated into our social system, but most of them aren't interested to do that. They even hate our system and non muslim peoples ... but USA people know what I mean, they are praying things from their religion and behaving different, that is what I didn't like, so you have to be always careful and I hope you know, that A MUSLIM PARTY is at the moment in charge and won the election and one of their major minister is a criminal, who is beeing wanted in Germany for cheating on people with selling holiday houses to them in turkey Antalya and Kemer, which haven't been real. In the holiday destricts of the meditarean sea, all is okay they even have some small luxury for their own living, but I spoke with Turkish people there, their income is around 200 USD to 300 USD a month, but they are the rich one. The only real beautiful city is Istanbul (Constantinopel) there are people living somehow with European standard, and of course all holiday districts are also with acceptable standard, but there are 80% tourists living ... If you go a little bit into the countryside, their only income is agriculture, but in poor standard.
What I want to tell you, is that of course there are nice people, but they have a different opinion, how this life should be, it is a muslim life and not European or American "way of life" what I dislike is, that they pray and say that they life the way of muslims, but they behave different. They want our social system what we have reached in economy, but they hate us. So Turkey is the starting point for most of European drugs problems. They are very "nice" to you if you are tourist, but they want always to cheat on you, sell things too high priced, selling faked leather, parfums and so on, they prefer the way of "bazar trading" If you go there, you know that the way he is offering you the goods isn't worth it ...
it is fun if you are going there for holiday, they are always nice to you, but if you keep in mind that the reason, why they are nice to you is your money and that you come again, it is okay. They even built beaches for us Europeans and hoilday cities, where we could go with bathing clothes, our women are allowed to do some halfnaked bathing ... but they hate us for that, but they are doing it, because they want our money and people in that region could have gained some small fortune compared to their other inhabitans. But they have gained that fortune, because they are selling their soul, remember they are muslim.

So I think the best for you is, inform yourself about muslim communities (Not in an USA bookstore, because they even hate Muslim a lot more and I know why) No use neutral sources to get your insight and of course inform youself about the political parties there, it isn't a democracy. Read the history of the Turkish people and how they are now.

If you like it, it is okay, as I already said of course there are many nice people ... but they are muslims (last count was around 95%) who have a different aim, how they see life.

If you also agree to their way of life, change your location and you will feel well, but don't mix it up with the nice people you meet at holidays there. And bye the way, there are no blond girls in any way, you should choose a differnet country, like Norway or Sweden ...

Nothing more nothing less ...

even I would like to see your Mod2.0 Version, maybe you should invest all your time to find the reality out, what you could expect in Turkey ... once again not to misunderstand, nice people, wonderful nature, but different political system and religion

So that is my last statement about Turkey, this treat is about a game and not cultural differences.
We are here for the game and that is what we have in common all other things didn't matter for here ... it is our fantasy world, to gain some nice hours apart from that what is going on in the real world ...
 
i will try VERY HARD to have it done within a week two weeks TOPS....

Thanks for all of your hard work Teturkhan! I look forward to version 2.0. :goodjob:

And good luck trying to balance everything in your busy schedule!

Just a few questions

1 - Is their a version of your map without the mod included, it's a great map but if you restore default rules the resources you have made into multiple resources (e.g. horses) disappear.

2 - Is it possible to split the patch into many downloads 53.9 Meg is way way way to much for me to download at once.

Arrr, if there's no blondes in Turkey, I'm not going. It sounds nice though.

Actually IIRC more redheads than blondes -- a genetic holdover from the Vikings / Varangians, who once made up the palace guard at Constantinople.

I asked for testers some time ago but delays in completion of the mod have prevented me from getting to that stage.

In the next few weeks I feel I will be ready and once again am seeking testers.

Criteria:

• You are very familiar with the mod, bugs, balance issues etc (having finished at least one game would be nice but not necessary).
• You have time to test the mod extensively within a two week time period.
• You have some experience in mod making (not necessary but helpful in offering me solutions).


That’s it – let me know by emailing me at teturkhan@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Hi,
The mod is excellent! Congratulations for the best scenario in PTW edition!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, one more thing, I'm Pole - and the Polish civilization is just wonderful. For the mod creator - thanks for description of the Polish history - it was very nice to read it. Short but very interesting. Some time ago i did a small mod with Poland but compared to your work mine was just .....insufficient. I would maybe change some details about Poland in Teturkhan mod, but it's maybe only my point of view.

I wright mainly about some technical problems. I downloaded 1.66 update and 1.7 zip file. Am I missing some new files? Because the mod at (just mod) did not want to start - I had to input entries: Gaia generators, gaia theory and neural interface to pediaico.txt. The mod then started.
I experimented too with RoboArmor - there are also missing entries for animation for this unit. so game quit as soon as i placed with the editor Roboarmor in 5000 BC and tried to start game.

The thread has over 400 entries, so it's kinda difficult to find it here. Is fix for those problems somewhere there in new updates or they were not addressed yet?

Polish Civ has been completely revamped for version 2.0 - you will be very pleased with the result.

Many people have mentioned missing files however all my tests haven't brought up this problem. The only thing I can think of is that people haven't erased older BIX files and are using them.

All old BIX should be erased then replaced by the latest BIX update.

that should get it to work - if you can send me a save game of the problem it would be most helpful.
 
First of all I love this mod it is one of the best :goodjob:

:worshp: :worshp: :worshp: :worshp:

btw why did you make it were the Rifleman did not upgrade to the Infantry.

Teturkhan, thank you for your answer! I'll await for the new appearance of your mod in version 2. I can test the version 2.0 when you have it ready for testers, if you agree.

The problem with - initially the game does not start at all - during creating the map an ifo appears that an entry in pediaico.txt was not found and the game would quit, so it quits i never see even first turn. I counted three missing entries:
ICON_BLDG_Gaia_Generators
TECH_Gaia_Theory
TECH_Neural_Interface
(more or less like this way - when you see pediaico.txt you will see it)
I was able to start game, but i had to make those entries by coppying them from e.g. TECH_Nuclear_Power. and this new tech - Gaia Theory had also icons of Nuclear Power when you viewed it on science advisor screen. Files smthsmthneuralinter.....pcx and smthgaia.pcx are needed here.

I erased old .bix files before installing patches - so that might not be the problem. And i was not missing files - but entries in txt file.

As for the unit problem - I can send you the save, but you can also quickly check it yourself - make a map, set active player, make RoboArmor available at the start of the game by making needed technology to none (i'm not sure if it is necessary - maybe not) and just place somewhere on the map this unit - RoboArmor. it should be for the civ you play since then you will see it in the first turn - it will not be hidden by black unexplored map. When starting the game, because the unit is on the map already in the first turn, problem will occur right away - program will look for animation of this unit and will not find it. I can send my save also, today - a little bit later.

Hope i explain everything correctly :)
Do you think i'm writing about problem which shouldn't occur at all. I mean those entries are missing for some reason only from my files on my computer?

Thanks!
Marcin
