Desert Fox pirating did not kill the Atari puter line, Atari's kamakazi Marketing approach did (I.E....lets sell and support something for 6 months then drop total support and support a new thing for 6 months) ~SDC~
Cari we are VERY happy you didn't go into something like nursing....:) ~SDC~

ok I'm confused the poll we took earlier was a choice of a new MOO or a new star control not MOM..... correct me if I'm wrong (and well could be) ~SDC~
I see the empire "Spam" is back......:) ~SDC~
yes I agree, the base game d/l's each file. the ap is abig zip file and the tiny xml file.......please put it back the way it was or make sdc TRULY resume capable cause its not the way it is..... ~SDC~
if you were able to dupe the problem using the same files on another puter that screams to me that you have a major virus infection cause a virus can easily make the hardware act like that what I meant by nuking the xp drive was do with a write protected CLEAN 98 startup disk a fdisk /mbr on the xp drive this will hopefully remove the bug if its there.... then you need to run fdisk again and choose option 3 to delete partition then 4 to remove the ntfs formatted partit

yes you need to run smartexception before you run the game itself ~SDC~
sorry bout the double post sdc is being "slow" [Message Edited]
it sounds like you got a virus before you ran the game cause the game is NOT the cause of your troubles the reinstall of the os almost never fixes any problems and usually makes things worse but I do have some questions....you say the floppy drive can't read any disk. do you mean floppies or the hard drives cause if the xp drive is formatted ntfs, a 98 boot disk is never gonna even see it let alone read it. it sounds like to me that you need to outright nuke the xp drive and get 98
show stopper for me doesn't run at all......screen goes black for an instant then desktop sent debug.err and smartexception already as far as I can tell theres a file missing..... ~SDC~
or you can do what I did and thats turn it off in sdc :) tools then settings then under the general tab then uncheck these 2 boxes Enable MCP notification Area Support Enable MCP SmartStartup then click ok and reboot :) no more sdmcp.exe loading ~SDC~
I just tried a couple of times to duplicate the trouble and I don't see what you're getting...cause cept for the race setup they load fine and do not wipe the settings out I even tried 1 new one of my own plus the 1 you said it destroyed both play and load fine here ~SDC~
hmmmmm this is 1 bug that I LIKEY :) leave it be :) MUHAHAHAHAHAHA :) ~SDC~
means your being an evil man :) ~SDC~
1 D Phasing is required for Large Scale Building if yours says hyperwarp it needs to be changed the other is Xeno Intimidation its wrong too if either of those say hyperwarp in the GCTechs.TECH file they need to be changed to _1DPhasing or d/l the fix Cari did in the sticky thread for the Tech Sharing UP Issues thread ~SDC~
give Cari a chance she knows more bout gal civ then anyone else here if theres a problem shes real good at fixing it :) ~SDC~
yes you can win with the current build :) ~SDC~
I rename my saves all the time you click on the "new save name space" then type what you want and hit enter that names the save then you click save then it saves the game ~SDC~
what you can send her is a gift card that way she can buy what she wants (and isn't allergic to) :) ~SDC~
Hi Cari and others Keep the tech fixes for 1.13 handy for the 2nd beta of AP cause it has the same tech tree goofs in it, both Large Scale Building and Xeno Intimidation have hyperspace as a required tech to make instead of 1 D Phasing. Cari you have a email with 2 screen shots to show ya ~SDC~
the save game bug that is in 1.49 that is out, the 2nd beta has the fix for that, right now no one that has the 1st beta can reload saved games when the 2nd beta comes out hopefully this afternoon then you'll be able to (and alot more) I would highly suggest that you either finish your current games or dump them cause the save format is not even close to the way it was ~SDC~
right now I would say its gonna be up tomorrow (later today now) ~SDC~
being good is over rated :) ~SDC~
they have and are making alot of changes in the way the game is saved in AP so the answer to that 1 is a big ummmmm nope :) ~SDC~

I was playing a test build for Cari to help her weed out the bugs in AP and I sent her a bug crash bit and she noticed 1 of the minors was using a diff freighter that she thought they were supposed to be using it turned out she forgot that the some of the art for the 2 new races were in and it was using that and I said "its not the minor thats being an expanding pain in my backside in my front yard that has your name in it? :) " and she said let me check and she says well actually yes.....<b
