QuickStart for Apolyton pack

[slamp]

Hi,

My first version of a QuickStart for Apolyton pack is release.
Could-you test-it and post here your comments ?`
You could find the entire description at: http://slaamp.virtualave.net/ctp/. I use ideas from Dutcheese Scenarios.

It's done

I've played parts of a few solo games now and only have 1 minor problem to report. In one game I disbanded the super-transport before it was replaced, an error message was waiting for me when I finished that session but didn't cause any crash.

Does anyone know where I could obtain a copy of Slamp's Quick Start Mod?

[J Bytheway]

No, but you could probably make a quick start mod of your own by copying and slightly altering Keygen's quick start mad for regular CTP (If you need any help doing so just ask).

OK. I'm asking

[J Bytheway]

Well, I don't have the AP installed, so I can't tell you too precisely, but something like this:

Copy the scen0000 directory from Keygen's PBEM Mod Lite into the AP directory, but give it a new name so it doesn't overwrite any of the existing directories (give it the lowest unused number: scen0001, scen0002, or whatever).

Open up the AP packlist.txt and increment the number at the bottom to reflect the new number of scenarios in the pack.

Now, inside the scenxxxx directory you just created, edit scenario.txt so that it says something more appropriate, and then go into ...\default\gamedata

Edit the DiffDB.txt so that it gives you the correct set of advances.

Edit the scenario.slc so that all the units it specifies really exist in the AP, and the advances in the section which provides a free advance make sense (actually it would probably be easier just to delete the bit that provides the extra free advance).

Dang it.

When I saw Slamp as threadstarter, I just thought (wanted) him to be back.

But this is an old thread I see. And JBW is right.

[Locutus]

That was my first reaction too, but 'fortunately' I recognized the thread by title.

Talk about 'you know you've been at Apolyton for too long...'

What file do you use to edit scenario.slc file?

[J Bytheway]

Your favorite text editor (Or, failing that, notepad ).

Like EditPlus2

Make sure you have a copy of SLIC in your scenario file....such as this path.....


C:\Program Files\Activision Value\Civilization-Call To Power\scenarios\No Piracy-No Pillaging\Scen0006\Default\Gamedata


Best of fortunes!!
