Green and Grey - turn track

[H0bbes]

Just responded-sorry life has been out of control of late. I'm happy to take it on either way, though if you can play from over there that would certainly be appropriate.

[Googlie]

Hobbes will be taking over as my full-time replacement. Darsnan - send the next turn to him

Good luck all

[Chaunk]

Apologies for the delay so far, and another apology as it's set to continue for another week, as my holiday has been extended until the 4th of September.

I will endevour to get the turn out on the 5th.

[Net Warrior]

bump.....Chaunk are you still on the move?

[Chaunk]

I should finish it tonight. Hopefully I'll send it on in about an hour.

[Chaunk]

2190 onwards.

[Net Warrior]

2190 to Gaians

Sorry for the delay but after the big gap in gameplay I temporarily lost my mo.

[Googlie]

well, as Hobbes never got to play a turn in my absence, and I'm back in the saddle tomorrow, I can continue from where I left off

So, Darsnan, maybe you can send the next turn on to me

Good to have you back! I'll send the turn on this evening!

On to the Cult!

[Googlie]

2191 to Chaunk, with apologies for reload - I typed in an incorrect password 3 times (in the dark early this morning, before surrendering and putting on a light - a by-product of jetlag - the early morning dark and the typos, that is)

[Googlie]

Turn resent (Chaunk has been active in the "other" forums, so I'm assuming that after so long a delay while I was away he just didn't recognize my e-mail addy when I first sent the turn)

Also sent him a PM to say the turn is in his e-mail inbox

[Illuminatus]

Sorry for the threadjack, but have you remembered to vote in Hall of Fame elections? Darsnan could get in this round with your support.

[Chaunk]

Apologies for the delay, Googlie's email did indeed get spam filtered.

I'm having a few problems with the turn though, as I've just installed windows Vista RC1, and well SMACX simply won't run. At all. It gets to the old "Your processor is not supported" etc. line, and then instead of continuing as usual, it simply returns to desktop.

I have set ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 in AlphaCentauri.ini and applied the latest patches, so I'm running short on idea's. I've filled the problem with microsoft but don't expect any responses to be lightening fast.

Any ideas apprieciated

Ps. Congrats Darsnan, much deserved

Any so-called "run this application in WinXP mode"
With new and new operation systems, these options in theory should get better.
Another option is to install a virtual PC software. Still, you would need an operating system for that virtual machine, installed as on a real computer. Maybe an old Win 98 or ME version?

The virtual PC software is now for free download. It's microsoft, iirc

some other thoughts:

sometimes changing these between 0 and 1 (in any combination maybe)
ds3d=1
eax=1
in the ini file may help

sometimes, the game just must be in the foldr:
Program files/firaxs games/... etc.
