MULTIPLAY : The GameLeague is dead , The Battlefield lifes !!!!!

IW - it's just disconcerting getting messages from your computer seemingly calling you 'Idiotplayer' when it doesn't work
Still i got Martin's correction above and will give it a go in about an hour and report back. So far it seems that if i get a Slic error on startup then the rushbuy bug is still in effect(even if you can click on the error msg's and continue with the game), is this a fair comment?Or is it possible that the code will still trigger even after the error msg's? If i know this it might save me some time in the future, all i need to do then is report back with the error msg and you guy's will know what to try next? I've got both pc's permantly setup on this problem, and when time allows i can test the next batch of code fairly quickly.

Because frequently I end up using very similar bits of code at the same time, and I end up with repeated definitions.

CoT: Most of the code will still work. It will only affect the one way of rushbuying, via the City Status window. Everything else should be prevented.

Martin's fix should do it, and yes, an error message is (usually) all we need to find the cause of the bug. The error messages give file, line number and type of error. Another rare thing Activision did right

So has anyone else got this code to work yet? I've not even seen the Msg in the screen_str.txt yet and has anyone had the strange text msg in the game reporting that the 'other' civ has stopped working on 'wonder' even though it's still in that civ's build queue but not been started yet? This has been the only difference i've noticed while running this code so far(i've yet to try the bit martin suggested). any idea's on this?

EDIT: I am just testing this on plain CTP2+1.1patch - no mods or extra files added.

EDIT2: Just tried Martin's suggestion and now the game loads fine and multiplayer launches with NO Slic error's. But it's still possible for both players to rushbuy(from city manager) - i don't get Locutus's screen_str.txt msg but if there is a wonder in the build queue then i do get that msg as outlined above.It comes up every turn untill the wonder is built.Crazy?

Since you folks are talking about Gameleague and/or fixing the infinite builds bug then I know you must be interested in MP play so why don't you go and fill out the form for the official Apolyton multiplayer registary? It has been toped by Lucutus so it should be easy for you to find...

*bump*

Does anyone have time to do some testing tomorrow or Monday (at a relatively decent time for someone living in CET)?

[child of Thor]

I can test any new code monday morning(for about an hour) and maybe later that evening after 7pm(GMT) - any good?

[Locutus]

I just heard that some of the guys at my uni wanna have a meeting sometime tomorrow but they don't know yet at what time. In any case, at what time exactly are you available tomorrow morning? Tomorrow evening could be tricky, I forgot that I have a meeting at 19:30h CET but I have no idea how long it'll take (judging from previous meetings it could be anywhere between 21:00h and 23:00h CET - the drinks will be free of charge so it could get late ), so although I can't give you an exact time, I should be have time later on the evening. Do you have ICQ or something?

For testing i have time at 7 pm German time on Monday, when you seek still one.
Greetings.

[Locutus]

Nevermind, something came up...again. Won't have time to test in the next 2-3 days at least.

[child of Thor]

Locutus,
won't be able to do any testing this week i'm afraid
Still if anyone wants to post new slic fixes for this prob i'll be able to test them(soon) and report back here.
