Terranx Errors

[Radman]

Hi out there you gurus!

I thought I would see if anybody knows why I keep getting "Terranx.ICD" errors when making different multiplayer game moves back to back. If anybody knows, I'd truly like to know so I don't have to continue to reboot and continue to replay the moves!!!

Thanks.

It could be happening if you haven't added the Pirate and/or Alien clones to your alphax.txt file (under #CUSTOMFACTIONS) - switching between games leaves the old set last played as the actives in your .ini file

Hi Googlie:

Reviewed your notice on the possibility of perhaps why I'm getting "Terranx.Icd" errors between multiplayer games. Thanks.

However, perhaps you could let know how I need to go about adding the Pirates and Aliens to the alphax.txt file. I'd appreciate it.

Towards the end of the alphax.txt file you'll see:

**************************************************

Add immediately below this header the custom factions you have in your files. e.g.

BUCCANEERS, BUCCANEERS
CORSAIRS, CORSAIRS
FLEET, FLEET
MARINERS, MARINERS
OVERLORD, OVERLORD
PACK, PACK
PRESERVE, PRESERVE
VALKYRIE, VALKYRIE
WARRIOR, WARRIOR

(Assuming that you have all these custom factions loaded in your smac folder - obviously, if you have just, say, the alien clones, then you only need:

OVERLORD, OVERLORD
PRESERVE, PRESERVE
WARRIOR, WARRIOR

(This also will give you the ability to select these clones when setting up a regular game)
