FACES Of APOLYTON #2: WES W

[Immortal Wombat]

It should be all in the readme file...
Download the four zips (texts, pics, sprites1 and 2), download ModSwapper, and then (if you need it) download the font that Wes chose to use...

Unzip all the files in the CTP2 directory, put ModSwapper in the CTP2 directory, read the readmes, then run ModSwapper, select "MedMod2: Call to Arms" and click "Load CTP2".

Couldn't be simpler

MP is the next thing on the fix-list Who was it who suggested putting CTP2 into the "Alternative Civs" section here?

[rah]

Thanks, Sounds simple enough
I really will give it a try. (inbetween CIVII MP games)

RAH
I know I never suggested that.


One last thing, download from WHERE?
It's the simple things that count

This was somthing modified CTPII needed. Great interview Solver.

[Immortal Wombat]

Er.. Wes' homepage would be the obvious place http://apolyton.net/wes

Glad to hear you'll give it a go, Wes asked for you specifically I think

[rah]

See, it's those simple things.

I just got home, I'll give it a go. I always intended to but was frustrated when I tried before..
If I have any questions following those simple instruction, I'll ask.

Thank you again.

No problems, we have to plug as much as we can, the game really isnt that bad any more

[rah]

I had problems, but in consideration of the others here. (something that not everyone has), I'll take the problem to the CTPII forum. At least the topic was Wes's modpack.

RAH
I still appreciate the help.

The game is now brilliant with the Med Pack 2.........the original game been changed from a really boring plod to something that has kept me playing continuously....finally,the AI is a challenge.Thanx to everyone involved in the making of the Med Pack 2..........

That would be neat if someone could get the PBEM to work right. I always wanted to play more MP, but I'm really only good at CTP 2 and a little at CTP, but never have the time. Pat on the back to everyone who has helped improve any civ game.

Faces of Apolyton number 4 candidate is ready! This will be Yin26, so anyone who wants to ask him some questions, mail me at solver@apolyton.net , or give me a pm.

[DarkCloud]

I want the extra post count
... no access to email anyway right now

To be answered in the interview:
"Yin, what would you rather have. SimGolf fail and Firaxis have to bail themselves out on Civ III, hoping that it is a success; or have SimGolf succeed and Civ III to marginally succeed and why?"

Not a spam question, read it a few times and see how deep it is.
It questions what a civvers allegiance is to: 1. Sid or 2. Civ and how it affects his decisions.

Like it or not.

RAH

Let me get this straight. CTP is civ, AC is civ, Dinosaurs is civ, maybe golf is civ.

But Colonization is not civ?!?!?

guess what? we didnt exist at the time to cover it

[WesW]

Well, I waited weeks for the interview to come out, and then I missed the announcement. Anyway, I am glad to see that the comments have all been positive. I was a little interested to see if anything I said brought up any controversy.
Someone posted in the forums recently that they were having success fixing the multiplayer problems with the game, and that the cause was not what I thought it was. They said they might have the problem solved by the end of the year. Oh, well...
I really do think that you can get good games now against the AIs, with the map changes and the most recent update which changes the AI personalities.

It brings up the questionas to whether Gettysburg! would have been covered if the site was up at the time. After all Dinos was covered by ACS but basically other than the forums, Sim Golf is not. So the site really isn't just a Firaxis fan page but there are inconsistancies...
