I used the Advanced play in the bink application to change the settings. I have a Geforce 2 MX400 graphics card with drives that are fairly new. If ya point me to antother bink-file I'd happily try it. ([email protected])
Tested some more blitting-options here... :) They all works fine, except for the one that you choosed and the "DirectDraw YV12 off-screen" that doesnt play at all. The other RGB-one plays fine. If I turn on the statistics, your selection gives me: Framerate obtained: 24.5 (the other selections 29.9) Sound skips: 7 (the other selections 0) Percentage spent blitting: 41.9 Slowest framerate is 5.5 I get the best performance with "DirectDreaw to primary sur
Uhmm..the more I look at it the more I like it. It's fine. And there will be many more occations to relate teasers to the game, so it's fine :) I tried the "DIB-section"-blitting style too, and that one also playes smoothly.
Lol. it has higher requirements of the PC than the game. My PC isnt fast enough so it doesnt smoothly play when I have a few apps started (the same as when I play the game). I have to start using my better pc for surfing and more stuff. Please consider changing the blitting-style option if you arent using the current setting for a very special reason. If I use the auto blitting style instead, it playes fine here. I tried the "DirectDreaw to primary surface" too and tha
Uhhmm....not easy to be Swede these days ;(
Yep, sounds very good indeed. And the same procedure could be used for other special events too. If ya (on autopilot) come near a ship from a race that you are war with, for example.
Posting some stuff from the debug.err: Debug Message: MWinEditFields::Create - Unable to find sprite sizing graphic for MilitaryPointsLeft Debug Message: MWinEditFields::Create - Unable to find sprite sizing graphic for SocialPointsLeft *DEBUG ERROR: *** Unable to locate font ArialLtBlueB10, FTDataManager::FindFont *** Debug Message: No AutoSave files in current directory.

Very nice minimap. And, I really like the background in the game (space) and it behave when I scroll. I got the Visual C+++ Debug error-message when I exited. "DAMAGE: after normal block (#16589) at 0x00E301D0 Umm I checked the settings...what is autobuild? Is it a govener thing or something else. And a big thanks for switching the controlmechanism. It's great now. really. much easier IMO.
Ahh ok. I deleted the drengin dir in %temp%. Now it seems to work better. Hmm...strange.
Hahaha now it halts on the first file it's trying to get. CoreShips.SHI_ (errormsg SDS0004 could not retvieve file on server)
Ummm, I know I have had it somewhere...... I'll take a look and see if I can find it.
Some of it :)
I like the idea with the flagship! Good one.
Since the wincustomize site prefs sets in a cookie for www.wincustomize.com it dont affect to cookie for www.galciv.com. Until they make a account-prefs edit dialog in the galciv-site (or solve it in another way) you'll have go to the old aplha-site to browse the forum.
good idea!
Another test..
Just a test reply, please ignore..
I know we're far from it today, since a demo should contain a little from the fun parts that's not in the alpha :) But I mainly just want to know if you're planning on a demo and if you have a timeplan.
I have a friend who is asking if there is going to be a demo that he could try. He have tried the OS/2-version long time ago...but is curious on the windows version. What's your strategy/timeplan (if any) about a demo?
Nice.
I made a backup on it to a local drive here for ya ;)
Found it: http://www.stardock.com/products/galciv/galciv_yor.jpg :CONGRAT:
I wonder how ppl can put their only copy of stuff on a webserver. I mean, a webserver is a risky place to put info on, not only the fear of alphatester deleting stuff, but hackers to delete everything. Ive once experienced that the hackers removed the partition table. Lost everything on the disk. All web-content for the company and it's customers gone. On the other hand - we had backups...
Duh, it's now I offer to sell a backup/restore system to ya. I hope yer kidding. Ever heard of backups? So this is the only version ya got left? http://test.galciv.com/images/ency/yor.jpg Gaah, why didnt ya say something before? I could have rescued it from my web-browsers cache, since I had looked at the pic. Now it's too late.
Hmm strange....the timings is right now different in the test.galciv.com and the other one.
