(Exar- keep sending the succession images through me, as I've made a special place on the server for them and I'd rather fix them up myself so they don't stretch the site out of shape...)

Will do

May be problematic, cause there is a major problem with our save game.

Arclite have you had any luck loading it yet?

#2426 by Veteran kryo - 1/13/2004 3:55:48 PM

Do any of you have the previous copy of the save still or maybe an autosave? I don't think it should be a problem to have whoever played the last turn have to do their year over if the alternative is not being able to finish at all

#2427 by Citizen Arcilte - 1/13/2004 4:46:31 PM

Exar Kuun... I sent you mail.

#2428 by Veteran Icho Tolot - 1/13/2004 4:47:51 PM

I got a copy from the 4th game year

#2429 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:02:33 PM

Hi, back now, PC crashed

Exar Kuun... I sent you mail.

Yup got it, sent you one back

Did you send it to Icho as well? Icho, Arclite suggested we start again as the game file seems to have gone a bit pear shaped, maybe some corruption from when we all had different mods, I'm not sure, gonna take the files apart in a min and have a look, see what I can see. What do you think? He also suggested that instead of yearly turns we take four or five year turns so we can get into our stride, which I agree with, how about you? To prevent the probs we have had from occuring again maybe we should install a second copy of Galciv and install a specific set of mods for use only in succession games?

Let us know what you think

Exar

Did you send it to Icho as well?

No.. but you summed it up pretty good.

I sent you mail back... it said I'm up for starting a new game.

#2431 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:19:49 PM

it said I'm up for starting a new game.

Great

, are you on board as well Icho? Hope so! The last game was just starting to warm up and get to be some fun, shame we couldn't continue it though that last year was probably the best twelve turns I've ever played!

What do you think of the idea of a second install? Just in case you want to know, been looking at the succession ZIP files and it looks like our games were assigning different values to different improvements so it would solve the problem, an example is I think that when you built a soil enhancement Arclite it showed up as a propaganda centre on my game which is what lead to our probs. Also think something dodgy happened with the leases by the looks of it

.

May the force be with you

What do you think of the idea of a second install?

Sounds good. I'm going to look around the Library and Spellforce's MOD Site for some stuff. Cause I need to have some of the MODS. I'll let you know how my search goes. (Then I'll send them to you both)

#2433 by Senator Drengin - 1/13/2004 5:26:50 PM

Guys make sure that the political party you choose has the same id number on all of your machines otherwise the save file will corrupt.

#2434 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:28:07 PM

Cause I need to have some of the MODS

Whatever you choose will be fine, may I suggest that only one of us gets the mods to install and sends the files to the others to ensure we all have exactly the same?

Did you see the empire of light thread, mayito seems a bit upset, reckon he's OK?

Thank you for the advice Prime Minister

Yeah... don't worry about it. This isn't the first time Mayito has done this... huhhhh... and it probley won't be the last.

I got the ones I want to use. I'll zip them and send them along.

#2438 by Senator Drengin - 1/13/2004 5:37:32 PM

after looking at a couple of saved files and posted games in your metaverse files, you also need to ensure that all the techs etc have the same number on all your machines as well. my suggestion would be to erase all mods from your machines. reinstall 1.13 and then add the decided mods to one of your machines. that person then informs the others as to the new id numbers for the pol party etc.

#2439 by Citizen Arcilte - 1/13/2004 5:43:22 PM

Thanks Spellforce! What I have chosen for MODS I like, there is no politcal parties so thats one less thing to worry about.

#2440 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:44:15 PM

you also need to ensure that all the techs etc have the same number on all your machines as well

What we're gonna do is install 1.13 then all install the mods arclite is sending us, do you think this will work?

Thanks for the advice

Exar

#2441 by Senator Drengin - 1/13/2004 5:49:16 PM

yes should do. thing that is important is that the four? of you must have identical galciv files before attempting the game. if there is one difference then each time you save and pass it on you also pass on the problem. next time it gets bigger and so on. it will lead to a corrupt game file as the game will not be able to read the files.

Good luck

#2442 by Senator Drengin - 1/13/2004 5:50:51 PM

ps if youre going to use 1.13 make sure all of you have sorted out the memory leak using either CariElf's or my file repairs. Caris is on a sticky and mine is at the mods site.

#2443 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:54:23 PM

next time it gets bigger and so on.

See my post above, took the game save files apart and compared them to ones where I knew what was where, seemed to have a bit of a cascade effect on the file integrity(is this the right term?).

I thank you once again, your service to your people is exemplary prime minister

Exar

PS Arclite you've got mail

#2444 by Citizen Exar Kuun - 1/13/2004 5:56:50 PM

sorted out the memory leak using

Funnily enough I almosted posted earlier to ask if there was a problem with the Galciv memory manager leaking, think that and my firewall is what sent my PC the way of the Dodo

. How do I go about sorting this exactly?

Exar

#2445 by Senator Drengin - 1/13/2004 6:02:31 PM

go to the mods site http://files.galciv.org and on the main page on the right hand side is the link to the zip. in the zip you will find a walkthrough in plain english on how to rectify issue. all files needed are contained in zip
