Capitalization in Civ3

[Inverse Icarus]

its not that hard at all.

i could write it in VB or C in like an hour.

you could go line by line comparing the two files (host and client) and make a list of all the lines the host has changed (using yours as a compare element).

civ 2 example:

YOURS:

3 ; Road movement multiplier

HOSTS:

200 ; Road movement multiplier

that would set up a little popup that says

"THE HOST'S RULES.TXT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING CHANGES



200   ; Road movement multiplier

"

and then gives you the option to connect or disconnect.

That's very similar to what I was thinkin, Uber. (Great minds think alike)

It is almost as I suggested before, but I wanted them to not compare lines, but compare the options.
To use the same example as UberKruX my suggestion would show a window that says:

RULES of the Host
The following rules at the Host are different from your local rules.
Roadmultiplyer: 200 (Your Setting: 3)
What do you want to do?

All differences would be presented here, and not only if the comment were different.

I like coding HTML, but I think it shall only has borders around it, not in it, but I'll not edit my post again for that.

Currently I've no plans to develop something like that, as it needs to interfere with the network traffic of the game, if not included in the game from the beginning. What I made was a Suggestion. I don't know if UberKruX has any other plans.
Anyway, if Civ III doesn't have this feature I might reconsider my decision. But as long as Civ III isn't ready I'll do nothing. To make that sort of check in the game takes almost no time, to add it with an extra program takes long time, as you need to find out how the rules are send to you, and needs to write a function to lad your rules.txt file.

It is simple if you are doing it in the same time as you are doing the network console for the game. Therefor I hope Firaxis adds it.
