Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Big Dave, while doing the pack, I was indeed in contact with someone from the team. Unfortunately, releasing a small patch to fix these problems seems like impossible
It appears that the scenario feature was either rushed out incomplete, or was done by someone who didn't understand the game fully. I see a pattern developing with Activision regarding this. Anyone else agree?
Unfortunately I have to agree with WesW on this one - the scenario feature seems bugged to the point of unusability. With great regret I have just reinstalled CTP with all the original mods (CD, Harlan, PowerSlics etc) as the number of problems to overcome in patch 1.2 seems simply too great.
It's a really great shame. And many thanks to the anonymous CTPFan who tried hard to rectify problems in this unfinished patch.
Surely we must get a 1.3 patch? The game seems in a worse state with 1.2 than it did with 1.1.
Alright, so what do y'all recommend? Assuming I don't want to deal with the hassles of the 1.2 patch, should I just run the 1.1 patch and manually install the desired modpacks (CD's, Harlan's, SLIC, etc.)? Did the 1.2 patch do anything other than introduce scenario elements? Does the game ai use the new units if I don't bother with the 1.2 patch? Or are these issues still being worked out. I've taken a break from CTP for a bit, hoping these issues would be hammered out by Activision (ha!) and the tinkerers among us (bless you all for trying), but it doesn't seem like we've progressed very far. If I knew the first thing about program tinkering, I'd lend a hand, but all my attempts have ended poorly. So, some advice from the grizzled veterans - what's the best way to get things to run without the 1.2 patch, and the best way with the 1.2 patch. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
ajbera, the 1.2 patch also has bug correctios, pbem and hotseat, and various other improvements.
I would go with the 1.2 patch and the apolyton pack
as for the ai files, if you wont the ai to use the new units, you'll have to copy them to the default folders and accept that you may have problems on games with the default files(which means that you'll probably have to play with the pack only)
Yeah, you'll want to use the patch, and the hack. Make a copy of the original aidata folder, and stick it beside the Call-to-Power folder so you'll have it if you need it later. You will not be able to play default games, or other scenarios for that matter, once you replace the files, but switching them in and out doesn't take long.
Yes Wes, I agree. I've commented before that the 1.2 patch is a 'bone'. And I've predicted a xmas launching of a scenario CD from activision with yet another patch and scenario editor (at just $29.95!) *LMAO*.
But the Apolyton Pack is wonderful!! Yes, I had to move things around a bit.. oh well. But it brings the most coveted mods all together in one place.. (except a crack cd patch).
For Markg
I'm not able to send you a mail... but I want the italian update file for the apolyton pack is it possible???
Please send it me at: lelextreme@tin.it or
lelextreme@yahoo.it
Thank you!!!
I am confused. I re-installed CTP,1.2 patch,
1.21 hack then Apolyton Pack. I changed the
DebugSlic to "yes". Am I missing something? Should I have backed anything up?
Will all the new units etc. be available? I am content to play the Apolyton scenerio and not use the default game. Have I done all that I need to do?
Thanks for your time.
I am not having a problem. I probably should have been more clear, sorry. Some of the posts in this thread made it sound as if the new units may not be available. I was curious if there was any thing over and above what I had already done that would keep problems from arising?
I apologize for the vague post.
Oh in that case no i think you are done. Rename the "english" folder in your scenarios\Apolyton PAck\ to your language if you havent got the english version.
Try to start a new game and see if it works. If there are errors post here again. Probably in a new thread.
Storm, you need to take the aidata folder which is in the Apolyton scenario, and paste it over the original game's aidata folder. Otherwise, the AIs will not use the new units available with the Apolyton Pack, nor will they make several other changes to their behavior which will make them better competition.
