PBEM game...

[Pedrunn]

I dont know how far can we go through with these codes i am writing some here is a sequence of attempts that should be tested one by one:

1)

HandleEvent(BeginTurn) 'PBEM_ActuallyBeginTurn' pre {
int_t tmpPlayer;
int_t tmpRound;
int_t ActualRound;
	tmpPlayer = player[0];
	tmpRound = GetCurrentRound();
	ActualRound = tmpRound + 1;
	Event: BeginTurn(tmpPlayer, ActualRound);
}

2)

int_t CanBeginTurn;

HandleEvent(BeginTurn) 'PBEM_ActuallyBeginTurn' pre {
int_t tmpPlayer;
int_t tmpRound;
int_t ActualRound;
	if(CanBeginTurn == 0) {
		tmpPlayer = player[0];
		tmpRound = GetCurrentRound();
		ActualRound = tmpRound + 1;
		CanBeginTurn = 1;
		Event: BeginTurn(tmpPlayer, ActualRound);
		return STOP;
	}
	else{
		CanBeginTurn = 0;
	}
}

3)

HandleEvent(EndTurn) 'PBEM_ActuallyEndTurn' pre {
int_t tmpPlayer;
	tmpPlayer = player[0];
	Event: EndTurn(tmpPlayer);
}

4)

int_t CanEndTurn;

HandleEvent(EndTurn) 'PBEM_ActuallyBeginTurn' pre {
int_t tmpPlayer;
	if(CanEndTurn == 0) {
		tmpPlayer = player[0];
		CanEndTurn = 1;
		Event: EndTurn(tmpPlayer);
	}
	else{
		CanEndTurn = 0;
	}
}

Does anyone know if a unit production time of a unit in a city decreses in the beggining of a turn or in its end?

1) Gets stuck on the "loading..." screen forever while starting the PBEM game.

2) Has no visible effect.

3) Got stuck forever when i pressed the end turn button.

4) Had no visible effect.

So i guess we do need to get the sorce code then

Anyone has any other idea?

Looks like

I cant think of any other way round it for now, thanks for trying though Pedrunn.

D@mn, D@mn ,D@mn !!! Oh well, I was gonna give CTP1 PBEM a try anyway... I know its the wrong forum, but is anyone here interested in starting a game up of CTP1 PBEM with me?

Sure why not. 1v1 or?

[J Bytheway]

I have one last idea - it's possible to call in SLIC the functions that the game uses to blank out the screen between turns on hotseat & PBEM, if we trigger those at some point we could (perhaps) save with a blacked out screen, but when there isn't a message box up to stop you from saving. Pedrunn - can you see a way to arrange that?

1 on 1 would be okay(though if anyone else wants to join in I'd say they are more than welcome). I think that I'll be at a disadvantage Mainly because I haven't played CTP1 since it came out (and then very little...) but I did recently start fiddling with it a little again. PM me, and we'll try to get something going.

PBEM....just say the start time
if you got room

[Maquiladora]

Platypus, you do realise this game we're organising is for CtP1 now?

CtP2 pbem is currently still "under development". Youre more than welcome to join the CtP1 game for now though.

How about through SLIC making the end turn button dissapear or make it so that the mouse avoids it

But this probably isnt possible

It is possible to make the end turn button dissapear. Not through slic though but through UI (ldl files) changes.

Yet i cant see how will this help

[centrifuge]

Maquiladora, if you're still interested, let's give 1on1 CTP1 a go...

I've been trying to get my brother and brother-in-law, addicted to CTP2(like I am ), but I think that I'll get them started on CTP1 PBEM first. However, I'd like to get a game started so that I can get a feel for it...

[Maquiladora]

Sure, ill fire it up a little later with Mod Lite and mail you the save. 6 AI's, small/regular map i think. Ill put the AI on Prince anyway, seeing as i only started playing ctp1 again a few weeks ago too so

[centrifuge]

Sounds good

[Maquiladora]

Better not post anymore updates in here in case it looks like ctp2 pbem is working... Turn 0 sent btw

Interesting Civ3 Play the World is going to have PBEM

I wonder how it will implement Diplomacy (however as it is FIRAXIS i doubt they will bother) as long has its got multiplayer theve kept a there word (even if its the buggiest and worst made rubbish in the world)

EDIT: Im not trying to suggest FIRAXIS keep to there word
