Looking for a non-serious SMAX/SMAC PBEM game...

[GeoModder]

Ok, normal map size then, please

And DataAeolus, you can be assured, my custom seafaction does not intrude on normal gameplay.

Think of it this way: you get a free faction out of it

The custom faction needs to be intalled though, but it will not interfere with other PBEMs.

just another folder in scenarios....

Ok cool

Map is ready, i'm in the middle of setting up factions, adjusting units and techs. Game starts very soon.

Needed one more preferred pasword from DataAelous, because i believe i received password from Sankis already in email. Please confirm.

[GeoModder]

My password is sended

[Barinthus]

Ok, apparently in one other PBEM I'm playing CyCon, not Believers as I thought. That's fine with me although.

However I prefer not to play same faction in two different games at same time so if it's fine with you folks, I'd like to change my faction for this one.

So if Data Angels has not been taken yet, I'd like to take that one. If it has been, any recommendations? I prefer SMAX faction if possible.

If this is an inconvenince, I'll stay with CyCon then.

[GeoModder]

For me, no inconvenience.
But better PM Mart about this, since he's busy bringing the factions on the map.
Then he mustn't do that twice

[Sankis]

I'm fine with you changing faction to Data Angels as well.

[Rubin]

Data Angels are fine, DataAeolus

[Barinthus]

Great, thanks, guys.

That's a good idea alto - I will PM him right now

[Mart]

I'm not sure if this is important, but GeoModder - what color of your faction on the map would you choose?

Presently six factions are (i decided for AI):

Pirates
Angels
??? which faction color?
University
Gaians
Peacemakers
Hive

Choose color - i am not sure, but that color might be not possible to change later on other machine... I know SMAX is strange over there with those 14 factions

[Mart]

Well, Geomodder please disregard that color issue, as you have specified the color in pcx file.

Currently i am having fun reviewing SMAX quirks, and with that one custom faction it is quirking

I believe Firaxis employees were underpaid fo making SMAX working like that.

It appears that in order to get the game working properly several Atlanteans faction files will have to be added to the root game directory. I wrote special "readme_naval_clash.txt" file.

[GeoModder]

I don't get the problem, actually.

I play with this custom faction without any problem in my SP game. Colors come as I wish, graphics come as I wish, and only one Atlants faction set is needed.

Can you be more specific? Is it because this is a PBEM?

[Mart]

yes, single player works on my machine ok too. problems start when i make multiplayer game....
It is with Atlanteans graphics, which is changing depending upon various conditions. I have 3 possible outcomes:
- Atlanteans have their graphic
- Atlanteans have Gaians graphics
- Atlanteans have Caretakers graphics, coz i used it in that very slot just before creation of the scenario.....

Graphics bug due to fact that there are 14 factions is known, is there any good way around it? i am not sure i have a control over that - one of the configuration files?
