Using the video drivers from Microsoft is a bad idea all around if you're a gamer.
I'm reading a book (Terry Pratchett's Nightwatch) between turns on the gigantic galaxy game I'm playing now.
@ Star Pilot Hold the phone. You just hit on exactly what I didn't like in AoW, & it wasn't clear to me until you said it. I missed the exploration, enchanting, artificing, random worlds, & sandbox style of play that was MoM. AoW seemed really forced in comparison. Thanks ~SDC~
@ Bard of Prey AoW was a fairly nice game, but it didn't due Master of Magic justice at all. It played a lot more like Heroes of Might & Magic to me. Of course I was expecting MoM with updated graphics. @ Frogboy I'm sure the quality would be great regardless of whether you called the game "Elemental", "Master of Magic II" or "FoozSlayer 1000", but Master of Magic II might get you a few more sales from people who played the 1st one. Of course word of mouth / the electric grap
[quote]I wonder how people would feel about a Master of Magic sequel (i.e. Master of Magic II) rather than Elemental? [/quote] A rose by any other name...... ~SDC~ [Message Edited]
I'd like my Photon Mines to become certified, how do I go about that? ~SDC~
I figured it would be at least as good as the AI in GalCiv. ~SDC~
Things you've got to implement to make Elemental(?) as good as it's predecessor, Master of Magic. 100's of spells Dozens of heroes Magical Item Creation Multiple Dimensions 100's of unit types Wizard Creation Auto-Generated Worlds Things you could implement to make Elemental(?) better than Master of Magic. Better Graphics & Sound (a given) Internet, Hotseat & Play-by-email multiplayer Map/Campaign Editor Hero/Unit/External Magical It
Thanks ya'll. It was my particular combination of Video card & monitor that wouldn't let me have fullscreen larger than 1024*768. It's working fine now, I just have to pan around on my 1600*1200 desktop when I'm playing Galciv. ~SDC~
Everyone that's trying to play MoM though Win2k or WinXP needs to download VDMSound from here http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound/ ~SDC~
Oh ok, thanks. ~SDC~
Then I have no idea why I'm having this problem. ~SDC~
Master of Magic. Please make the Spell of Mastery an option. BTW I'll get a Drengin.net acct for this one. And buy it in the store ;) ~SDC~ [Message Edited]
I was trying to play a game & chat with a friend at the same time. Alt-Tab works very poorly while the opponents are taking their turns. Update: I'm still having no luck, the intro movies play in a window but then it dumps back into fullscreen. I'm running at 1024*768 @ 16bit color. Also I have the latest version of GalCiv. ~SDC~ [Message Edited]
Doesn't anyone know the answer to my question? ~SDC~
Does this game still run in windowed mode with the "-W" option? If so, I'm not having any luck with it. I am running in 16 bit 1024x768 on a ATI Radeon 9200. Thanks ~SDC~
[quote]i use most of the mods from the library. the only one i've removed was the friggin' photon mine one. i believe it really unbalanced the game, i mean, a full hit points overlord was destroyed trying to take out a single mine. they were just way to powerful.[/quote] It must have been a Mk II mine & the owning Civ had to have had a lot of military resource upgrades. This is exactly what they are supposed to do. ~SDC~
You forget that the AI uses mods too. They absolutley love the photon mines. I've seen the course of war between two AI civs change when the losing side finally got photon mine production going. ~SDC~
I 2nd that request. Hope you like my stuff Kelly. I've got a few more ships & techs @ CDG (http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/gc/). I've been putting them there since for some reason I can't submit anything to the library anymore.
I'm in. ~SDC~
I'm trying to upload a new Ship to the Library and I keep getting the following error: Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' Script timed out /upload.asp The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools. Thanks p.s. the new ship is here (http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/gc/view
oh man, this was supposed to go in the Mods forum... ~SDC~
now at the Library (http://www.galciv.com/library.asp?searchtext=&LibID=1&sort=UpdateDate&order=Descending) Any feedback would be appreciated. ~SDC~

Apparently, FrogBoy & Co. don't read the modding board very often... ~SDC~
