      I wish I could help you, but I've never got such an error in my entire "SMAC career". Do all other save files still work?

        yes. maybe it has something to do with FF's mac-ness?

          FlameFlash has Mac!?! Well in that case it's rather obvious there are problems. Mac isn't compatible with other PC's right? I find it odd then FlameFlash had no problems with opening the file.

          I don't think we can find a solution for this problem...

            another SMAC(X) player, wgabrie, has a MAC as well, and I have never experienced any problems in any of our common games as far a translating the game back and forth (although I have never tried with custom factions before). If you want, send me the file, and I'll see if I can open/play the turn, and maybe that'll narrow down our problem.

              I've played PBEM in SMAC/SMAX for quite some time with PC users with no problems whatsoever, so it's not because of Mac-ness.

              If somebody could send me the edited .txt files for the factions, I'll try playing the turn again... IMHO, that's the problem.

                What's your e-mail address? I'll forward my turn with the password and TKG, if you could forward your turn to him as well, we'll see if Mac-ness has anything to do with it.

                  My E-Mail address was posted earlier in this thread, however it is xxxxdnandal@twcny.rr.comxxxxx minus the x's.
                  Also, have you considered that the file was simply corrupted in transit, and that a resend might work as well? If I could get a virgin resend, that might also help, too.

                    Hope everyone remembers it's a SMAX game but with SMAC factions also

                        TKG's copy, as well as my copy of the turn sent. I'm using the latest version of DropZip... are you using the latest unzipping app, TKG?

                          I received the turn and played a couple of rounds of the game, and had no problems with it.
                          Also, I have been contacted by War of Art for taking over Cyurus's faction in this game. Which faction is this, so that I send him the right password?

                            Did you mean Cedayon's place? He's who I took over for...

                            Did you also try loading the turn that I sent TKG? How did it work?

                              ok this was my fault. FF's .zip was called "rftp-tkg.sav.zip" so when i unzipped it, it made a folder called "rftp-tkg.sav". the game thought the folder was the save so that's why it couldn't open it. a rename was all it took

                                Okay... from now on I'll try to remember to rename the zipped files.
