DB updates

[OmniGod]

I've decided to post here the updates that are done to the db since there are a few minor version changes that wouldn't show up elsewhere. So tonight I have added an update to two files.

Withdraw Script and Diplomod both by Dale.

The update includes a fix for the problem where the withdraw script caused the game to be dumped to the desktop. A minor fix but something important. I suggest downloading the update.

Other than that nothing is new, but I'm waiting for some great mods that are in the early stages. If you'd like to be a alpha/beta tester for these mods and will provide some constructive critism (mainly balance and other ideas) then please come to http://mods4ctp2.homestead.com found on King Arthur's Court. Presently there is cradle of civilisation by hexagonian in the works. Others will surely follow.

The cradle mod is being commented on in the following thread. http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum48/HTML/000076.html?35

Umm, should have read CTP2_Creation first. My mistake.

New to the db on Feb 9, 2001

Map of Middle East by OmniGod
Size: 210x210
Created using bmp2ctp2 conversion.

The map was designed for the crusade scenario being started by Mephistopholes and thanatos.tod. They requested a smaller map and then I made this. There are no goodie huts or goods but this is a great map for aspiring scenario creators. Goods and huts can be added using the editor.

Slow day I know, but that's all that's new for now.

Hey Markos, any chance I can get this stickied to the top so I can edit my postings instead of making new ones all the time, since I think I'll be the only one posting in this thread

[MarkG]

i've toped it, but continue to make new posts instead of edits to n existing post, cause eitherwise one who has visited the thread one will not be able to see if there is something new when you make an edit

[OmniGod]

And the DB rolls right along with 2 new additions.

Modifications/Units

Collection of Catapults

Contains the Blue Catapult -Apolyton Pack and Brown Catapult -unknown

Mods

City Mod in English with modification by Chris Horscroft.

That is all for now... Thanks

Sorry there haven't been any updates lately but a few things have come across my desk and I hope to get them up soon. I've also setup a temp site for people to upload files to me since my email isn't larger than 2 megs and people seem to want to send those mammoth files to me all at once... then email me and I'll get you set up.

Thanks

EDIT: removed website address since there are some problems, email me to get it and to upload... unless I can get a new email addy.

Omni, you need to update the sprites DB with BlueO's units, and post the smaller Amazon sprites he made after he learned how to use the clear palate instead of the color black.

[OmniGod]

I don't have a copy of the smaller sprites, thus I can't update the db with them... as for the sprite #'s I've just updated the list in creation.

[OmniGod]

Last map addition til next weekend... hope you are all enjoying the maps. The final one for this weekend is

Map of Italy
Size 210x210
Info: Without any start locations, goods. Major Rivers are included as inland waterways (not using the river tile).
