Just tried it and I didn't have that problem, but it could be related to the multiple copies of the mockingbird, which I fixed.

Delete your Event files from the saved game and that should take care of it for now.

Either rename your .sav file and the associated folder or just move them into another directory that you can zip.

Oh, if you people knew the pain I've been going through, getting save/load games to work...the FOW was particularly annoying, trying to get it to save and re-load correctly.

New York and California do not have identical cultures, but there are common threads that run between them. France and the United States have different cultures, but you could probably still find similarities. The Midwest accent is the one primarily heard in movies, on television, etc, and is already more or less the American accent. So media is one way of connecting the world. Now say we develop a mode of transportation that will safely move people from America to Europe...we may see even m

Reply to When will be released the new alpha build? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

What, you mean that code doesn't automatically work if it compiles? :) I used to have a teacher in college who would give us HUGE assignments. If the program compiled, he'd glance through our heavily commented source code (probably doing random spot checks) and then grade it. So you could have a program that technically didn't work but if it compiled and didn't have any obvious flaws, you could get a good grade. Not that it didn't take us hours to get it to a compilable state anyway.

I don't know when the last alpha will be released, but there's been a lot of changes to it. . . Some of the big ones are: -left and right click functionality have been switched. Left click is now select and right click is now move. -you will now be able to start a new game after having already started a game. -your setup settings will be saved so that the next time you go to start a game, they'll be there. -keyboard focus works better, so that if yo

Reply to us alpha testers should be called inspectors. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I believe that it's Caesar. I don't have a bottle of salad dressing handy, though. :) What do you have against the term "software engineer"? Most programmers would rather be called something else (just not coder). "Software engineer" means more than just programming, it means designing a software project from the beginning, and developing along the guidelines of the design. If more programmers developed software using a dynamic design process, we would have better, less bug

Reply to Are you people keeping up with the AOL/Trillian issue? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Yeah, if the only attention that you pay to ads is to close the window as soon as it pops up because you're sick of ads, they're not effective. I don't think that a lot of companies have figured out that pop up ads just annoy the hell out of most users... I think that advertising companies should re-think the way they advertise their products. Basically anything that is intrusive annoys you. I liked how in the movie The Truman Show, they did ads right in the middle of the show.

In that respect, they are parasites. But the people who connect to AIM through Trillian would be using AIM anyway if they weren't using Trillian, so it's not like they're adding extra traffic to the servers. The thing that's bugging AOL is that there's millions of users NOT seeing those ads on AIM (and ICQ now, too, I believe). Those ads are significant source of income for them. That's the only way that they would be losing money. A lot of people would probably stop usi

Reply to Graphical interface in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Many people do have a third mouse button, but I think that more gamers would have a mouse with a wheel. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that there's a button with 3 buttons and a wheel... Pear3 can detect the mousewheel message right now, but it doesn't make it past the WindowProc callback yet. I was experimenting with it awhile back when I had some free time, but I haven't had a chance to get back to it yet.
