ACDG5: Demogame, anyone (especially newbies)?

[Mart]

They have a second demogame it seems, 2 factions, Morgan and UN. MY 2191. Probably in one of the most interesting game stages then.

It is possible, not many their players would be interested in a game here while playing there, but maybe someone.

Petek, do you speak German, and maybe have an account there? Anyone else?
If not, I will write a note, but in english. (I was learning German for 5 years in my high school, but considering my "excellent" linguistic skills... )

Mart,

You could try Google's Translate Beta. There was a thread in the last month or so where someone gave assistance in a language he didn't speak using this facility.

I would check any translation by running it backwards.

I would imagine that the simpler the sentence structure the better.

[Mart]

Anyway, we play in English, I can very well write it as such.

And I think now, there are already 2 possible forums, I will prepare an appropriate intro message

No, I can't speak or write it very well. Just read it enough to understand what's going on very generally. You might want to post in our OT forum to see if someone will translate into German.

That's the thread.

Mart,

I downloaded the file you linked, SMAC(X)_Technology_Choices_v1.07.xls.

I was trying to use OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta (Mac OSX Power PC).

After I set slot number to 7 and traded technologies to yes, I added Centauri Ecology through the drop down menu. When I hit add/del. I got the error message, "BASIC runtime error. Object variable not set." and "ActiveSheet.Unprotect" was highlighted under the Sub Add_Del ()

Do you know if anyone has managed to get the Technology Choices spreadsheet to work under OpenOffice.org?

Sent Illuminatus a PM asking him to move Bodissey's post to the Turn Posting Thread.

I was using openoffice some time ago, but never tried macros there.
This is another thing we might make for smac...

[vyeh]

This might help, especially the comparison between VBA and OOo Basic.

I suspect that OOo requires a variable to be explicitly defined and VBA does not require an explicit definition. I have little experience with Excel or with macros.

I will be out of town for a week.
I may have access to wireless internet, but probably sporadic.
Returning next Wednesday/Thursday, July 2/3

Good Luck!

[vyeh]

I hope it is for pleasure.

Mart,

Did you post notices in those two forums?

[Mart]

I have just posted a message in the German SMAC forum.

Guys I am going to have to bow out of this. Contract on my current job was not renewed so I am out looking for a new job. I have had a lot of interviews but no luck yet. Staying at the parents since most of my interviews are around their location. As such away from my computer and AC. Sorry. Hope the game goes well will follow it a little to see how it turns out.

[vyeh]

Good luck on your job interviews.
