Civ2 ToT Hack to prevent CPU damage

[Von Bert]

Please just an info on TOT usage.
I found Cathfish website referring to Tim's code Archive :

http://tim.strafenet.com/civ2tot.html

where a certain Tim did develop a .exe to prevent CIV II (Mge adn Tot) from using the full CPU, and prevent possible damages..
what i wish to ask You is :

"Does this "utility" work , and is it really useful ?"
"How does is works ? just launch it ? or sobstitute the orginal civ.exe ? "

Thank u !

.. I just wish try to prevent my brother PC from being "cooked" buy my gaming attitude toward old (good) games..

WEBSENSE -
btw i found out that sadly http://sleague.apolyton.net/ is blocked by my company internet filter , WEBSENSE..
"site forbidden, category SPORTS"..
i shell tell them to change it to "gaming" !

I have been running the 'ToT no-limits' Civ.exe, without any problems of overheating, etc.

The hacks work. Before I installed the two hacks in MGE and TOT, civ2.exe was using a lot of CPU (sorry, can't remember the %). Now its less than 10%.

Yes, definitely use it!

It works, as the others said. It replaces the original civ2.exe (you can, and should, back that up, of course).

WEBSENSE -

And apolyton.net does work? I guess it's just being filtered out because of the "league" in the URL. That also explains why it's in the sports category.

You just need to find a business rationale to justify it. That's what Merc did so that he could stay abreast with his passion, professional wrestling.*

*Check his Thesis.

Someone mentioned breasts...Gasp!

Interesting read. I have to say that I question the asymetrical methodology regarding Lidstone smoothing, as well as the non-inclusion of the multi-variate Bernoulli model.

Have you considered contrasting the effectiveness of the Augmented Naive Bayes Classifier with the Frustration Threshold based Arbitrary Banning Ming system in newsgroup moderation? If not, perhaps it's something you might want to wrestle with in your PhD dissertation.

Do you actually know something about this? Or did you just pull some random nonsense out of Google based on stuff you saw in my thesis?

This paper is the reason I didn't consider the multi-variate Bernoulli model. And I don't know what the hell you're on about with "asymetrical methodology"... Thanks for making me have another look at my thesis, though. I hadn't looked at it for a year or so.

My PhD will have to wait a little while. Maybe in ten years. I'll keep that in mind.

I crack myself up!

As fancy as "multi-variate Bernoulli model" sounds, it's actually just about the simplest model around.

And I knew you were just being silly with the second half of that. But the thing is, you're much closer to the mark than you think you are with that.

Apolyton was the main reason I chose that subject. And it ended up being about newsgroups rather than forums only because it was much easier to get the necessary data from them.

Secondly, my automatic moderator didn't just moderate by itself. It gradually learned from the behaviour of an actual moderator. E.g. like an e-mail spam filter gets better when you flag e-mails as spam. So if it were to run on Apolyton, it would end up modeling Ming's banning behaviour... Well, an ideal automatic moderator would anyway, not my system, because that was kinda crappy.

Well.. thank you guys for the info.. i'll try then to use this civ2.exe hack to save my cpu..

But on the reverse.. i'm sorry to say that i'm currently not able to speak about that "multi-variate Bernoulli model"...
not even if in italian !

btw.. the "websense" campany internet filter it only blocks "Scen.League" website.. up to now the apolyton is still free for me to browse..
and i do !

Wow, this works wonders. My CPU usage went from 50% to 2%. Hopefully this will mean longer battery life for my laptop.
