OCC comes to CTP2

[Immortal Wombat]

Hee hee, I wondered when someone would ask that

It arose from a very boring coach journey on which a couple of my friends were discussing possible comedy sketches. Then something in my twisted mind chucked up the idea of a pun on Mortal Combat. How about Immortal Wombat? So was born super-hero wombat, who can never die, but partakes in a mission to avenge the death of his father, by defeating the evil emperor of Wales, Jhe Kou Chong, and various russian zombies on the way.

Just a bit of mad rambling really, based on one dodgy rhyme. But if anyone does know someone who works for a cartoon producer, I probably have the script for the first two series somewhere...

Thanks for the suggestions Locutus. All of them are suitably cheesy

Help! I am using modswapper, when I try to go back to normal game to play OCCI keep loading Medmod. I have selected normal game and exit and save, then reload normal game it still goes to MedMod. anybody have any ideas? I would rally like to play this senario.

Hey, will the OCC work with the MedMod II? I really like all of they changes Wes is making to the game, and it would be really nice to be able to use those changes in the OCC! Thanks for your help everyone!

[Immortal Wombat]

I don't think OCC will run with MedMod or ModSwapper at the moment. I will make a MedMod compatible version some time.

Gimme 24 hours and it'll be up at The Way Of The Wombat
Better download MedMod now

I just tried using the scenario with the MedMod and it seemed to work, is it just that it won't use any of the enhancements that the mod implements? By the way IMO, thanks for a challenging scenario! It looks almost impossible!

[Immortal Wombat]

Now available at The Way of the Wombat, is a MedMod compatible version of the OCC scenario. I am unable to bug-test it, but I don't think there should be any potential problems.
If there are, I will try to solve them as soon as possible, so that as many people as possible can try to win this scenario.
Have fun.

Re: Way of the Wombat

Good choice on the name

You may want to change the link to http://members.aol.com/wvrs4/ctp2/ctp2dl.htm or rename the html file index.html though, if I open the link now I end up in a folder rather than on your actual homepage. Doesn't really matter but I don't think you intended it this way (kinda renders the html page useless)...

[Immortal Wombat]

Thanks for pointing that out Locutus, the last two links now work properly.
Hope you enjoy it.

[Rhuarc]

Thanks for the MedMod version IMO! Someone should create a thread to list scores from the OCC on. This way we could have something to judge how well we did against. Just a thought!

[Immortal Wombat]

Sure, good idea Ruarc, go for it!

If anyone wins, please let me know...

[Rhuarc]

If anyone would like me to post their scores in a new thread email me the information, such as score, number of civs, and any other information you wish to be posted, and I will put it up. My email is wendell777@hotmail.com. If you would like screenshots of the end of your game put up email them to me as well.

It looks like I got a problem. I down loaded the medmod version and when I load it I get all kind of slic errors. The game will come up but the first thing I can build is a settler, so I know it's not working right.

[Immortal Wombat]

I'm checking that out now preacherman. A lot of the problems can be solved by adding the lines from the OCC scen_str.txt and put them into the MedMod scen_str.txt. Others I think are caused by a conflict between the Elite units code, but I will look into that further, and post an update at The Way of the Wombat

Edit: Right, it should be fine now... The SLIC is loading fine, but my version of MedMod isn't, so I'm not 100% confident. Give it a go.

[preacherman]

Ben, redownloaded the medmod version from your web site, but when I loaded it into the game and start new game ran into a problem. When you select scenario the first screen comes up. But when you go to the next screen the only choice you have is the origanel one. There is not one for medmod.

I went back and down loaded the file again and reloaded it into the game. Still the same problem. I ck the file folder and the proper documentation seem to be there. Hope you can help me

[Immortal Wombat]

Grrrr

I'm having some difficulties uploading to my site. I tried again, and the Medmod version (though not neccessarily the both versions .zip file) should work. If not, mail me, and I'll send them to you.

I just checked another time. If the folder is called scen0001, try renaming it to scen0000.
