"Who are the furlings?" - Turn Tracking.

I use a .bat file to automaticly swap the .ini files and load terranx.exe with the right faction colours.

Makes life a lot easier :-)

If somebody wants them, just ask (you'll have to edit the .bat in 1 spot, to change the SMAC-directory)

what exactly do i have to swap?
i made a new copy just for multiplayer. so everything is raw (patch 2).
if you dont mind, could you attach these files? id like to take a look at them

[PJayTycy]

Well, here is a .zip, it contains 2 files:

"Alpha Centauri.furlings.ini"
"furlings.bat"


Put the Alpha Centauri.furlings.ini in your SMAX directory (where you should already have an "Alpha Centauri.ini" file).

Open the "furlings.bat" file in notepad and edit the first line so it has the right path to the alpha centauri directory. (mine is "C:\program files\firaxis games\alien crossfire\")

Now put the bat file where ever you want (eg: in your saves directory or on your desktop or ... wherever you usually end up after unzipping the .sav)
Double click on it to launch alpha centauri with the right faction colours.



Ofcourse, this file only works for this game. You have to create a .ini for each game with the right faction order and a corresponding .bat file that swaps the right .ini files.

Guys, guys, I know its a "noob" game but you have to concentrate and make sure you press the orange flashing button and name the turn something memorable :P

[Bearhugger]

detrius. what happened? i didnt receive your turn yet

thanks play...(i never manage to remember your name properly... )

nice idea to write a .bat file. makes it very comfortable for me now.

I'm quick with sending my turn provided I actually get my turn. PJay didn't send me my turn. He either email me the beginning of his turn by accident or more likely, didn't hit the end turn button and saved prior to hitting to the end turn button thinking that would allow me to play my turn. It doesn't.

[PJayTycy]

no, it was an accident. Sorry. I sent the wrong file. Now the right file is in Detrius' inbox
