PROJECT: Playtest

[Maquiladora]

Hmm, no. IIRC theyre all available when its not your turn. Even on the network screen (ctrl N) the buttons are enabled for the non-host when its not his turn too.

[Solver]

Well, the end turn button maybe? Or was it available too?

[Martin Gühmann]

You should take a look on the restart key I disabled recently for network games. So that should be a good example to do it. Actual I used the restart button from the options menu as example. Now you just need to figure out when it is not the turn of that player. But actual this disablement of the rush buy buttons during not the own turn should also be available in single player mode. So finally just an interface issure.

The End Turn button had it - thanks Solver .

[J Bytheway]

OK, I've put a possible fix into the code for the rush buy button on the National Management Dialog (which is the most complicated place). I've tested it in SP (by frantically clicking on things during AI turns) and it seems to work. When I next post a new playtest exe Maq (or some other willing volunteer) can test it in MP, and if it works I'll do something similar for the other rush buy buttons.

Installed over the vanilla game and worked like a charm

The playtest build is now also available from the Directory: http://apolyton.net/dir/index.php?id...s=4667&cat=303

The list of changes can be viewed here.

An official name for this work?

How about CTP II Plus?

Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition

I guess its just the "Apolyton Patch".

[J Bytheway]

We can't call it the Apolyton Patch - that's too similar to Apolyton Pack. Apolyton Edition sounds pretty good. Is the abbreviation AE used for anything important around here?.. The only thing that springs to mind is Age of Empires, and that's usually AoE.

[Flinx]

CTP2:AE ...sure

VERY minor observation: the date on the first menu still reads March 28

Ah, the old forgetting-to-update-the-version-number problem. I suffered from that in developing CTPEd too... Thanks for pointing it out .

[centrifuge]

Good stuff guys I'm downloading as I type. I may not have a chance to play it for a few days, but once I do I'll report anything that I find...

Well everyone is allways talking about new and exciting changes to the sourcode how about making the mousewheel work

Would you care to elaborate on this? I just noticed that the message list in the message tab of the control panel is scrolling when I move the mousewheel. And it is working for the main screen as well - albeit a bit jerky.

[Locutus]

Well, it doesn't work for me. Not in the latest playtest, not in the official patch. In fact, it's never worked for me in CtP1 or CtP2.

It's just not scrolling at all. Not in the message tab, not on the main map, nowhere.

I have a brandless PS/2 optical mouse using a standard Windows Microsoft driver. AFAIK it works in all other games where it should work (I just tested on RoN, Civ3, CM3, AoM, WC3, Freelancer -- that's all I have installed at the moment (or at least everything modern enough to support mousewheels anyway)).

I've downloaded the playtest over a new vanilla istall on my PC but I cant see an iota of difference so I must be doing something wrong! I unzipped the file to call to power 2 directory - is this right or shoud it be to the ctp_program directory?

I'm obviously clueless so can anyone give me a clue that would be cool
