I will be gone from the 24th of January until the 10th of February, hence this game will take a break anyway.

Just play this last turn so we may get another in before I leave, then you have enough time to patch up your problems.

Right then. I would like to see screenshots showing each stage as you open up Civ2 and load the save, and a screenshot of the inside of the folder that the contents of the scenario are in. I still don't understand what the problem is since I need more information.

That screenshot is now obselete, especially since the folder's the wrong name. Secondly I want to see inside the La Belle folder, not the directory it is in.

Stick all the step by step screenshots into a word document if you wish and upload it on here, but I still want to see every step you make after you have downloaded the file. I'm being pickey, but since I can't sit you down and watch over your shoulder, this is the next best thing.

I concur with Saladin. Right now that's the only way we can help you.

Again I'd say you run it from the wrong folder. From what I can tell, the *.net files you show loading in step 5, are not in the folder in the first pic (where you can see all the bmps and the other scen files).

[Addled Platypus]

ok

so all savedgame files must be unzipped and run from that folder ?

[Addled Platypus]

re-rownloaded everything, re-unzipped everything

downloaded an old turn and unzipped

still comes up "seed of greatness"

new folder -

Yes, exactly. All save games must be run from that particular scenario folder.

Meaning that if you load that entente-1905sept.net file shown inside the Belle folder everything should be fine and dandy.

[Saladin23]

I just noticed as I was looking through the screenshots.

By renaming the folders you've confused yourself since the net files and the scenario are in two separate folders (see attachment).

Why on earth are your graphics coming up as Quicktime files? Have you tried opening them?

[Addled Platypus]

yes, I saw that

that has been cleaned up to one folder see post #87

still not getting the right game to load ?
