Tested this in multiplayer. The origin error seems fixed, but the game is no more playable. The Client (or second player) can't do any actions in his turn.

If player 1 (the host) finishes its turn, on his screen will be shown player 2 (the client) as active player. On the screen of the client stays the host as activ player and he cant't do no actions. He can only call the buildmanager, and this finishes the turn of player 2, but without the change to do something. And it's again the turn of player 1.

	Key mapping Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

ctp2_code/ui/aui_ctp2/keymap.h

ctp2_code/ui/interface/km_screen.cpp

ctp2_data/xxxxx/gamedata/ldl_str.txt
ctp2_data/german/uidata/layouts/km_screen.ldl

This changes fix the currently wrong displayed key mapping of the map and option section.

I also added all usefull commands, that where not supported before for the keymapping dialog.

Where xxxxx is the english, french, german, italien and japanese ldl_str.txt file. (I don't have a spanish file). Added the textstring in german and in english for all versions other than the german. That must be translated .

Because I only have the german km_screen.ldl file, I only added this version. I think the versions for the other languages must be identical. If someone can please check this and add the changes to the files for the other languages.

The following commands are now also supported for the keymapping dialog:
EXECUTE_EYEPOINT
MOVE_ORDER
YES
NO
END_UNIT_TURN
EXECUTE_ORDERS
PROCESS_UNIT_ORDERS
GROUP_ARMY
UNGROUP_ARMY
DECEND
PARADROP

also the following commands for _PLAYTEST flag mode:
TOGGLE_SPACE (that only seems to remove the fog of war)
GAMESTATE_DEBUG
RAND_TEST
ENTER_COMMAND
ENTER_COMMAND_ALTERNATE

I wouldn't bother with this problem, actual I think it can be done so that the GUI fits for all languages, the other *ldl files from the code pack are also taken from the German version.

Added to the NationalManager window a third tab.
This tab shows the number of slaves, the different experts and the number of combat units in each city. I was tired of switching through all the cities to see how many experts in each city are set up.

Lui2: Nice job on the National manager tab .
Just some minor gripes on your files though: the ldl_str.txt files contain old - and even different - "version" dates, and your .zip-file is not a zip-file. My Winzip version reports it as invalid and suggests downloading it again. When this didn't do any good , I remembered you had used rar-files in the past. It would have been clearer if you had used a .rar file extension.

Thanks, your right. I took the ldl-files from the 2004.06.15 playtest version without checking them in detail. And with the archiv I was under the impression creating a zip file, but i was wrong. Corrected both now in the original attachment.

	Tired of ads?

I was more thinking along the lines of being able to edit multiple cities at once, as with the build manager and rush-buying, etc. Currently specialists are the only part of city management that can't be handled on a national basis and I hate having to manually cycle through all my cities every few turns just to make sure the specialist settings are still optimal. If this could all be done from the National Manager (or a screen similar to the Build Manager), I would be *extremely* happy as this is my biggest frustration when playing CtP2.

Added a shifting possibility for the radar map (minimap).
With a right click on the radar map, you can now center the point you clicked , on the radar map.

It's nice to see your own empire in the center of the world!

The change takes care if the world has x and / or y wrap and does only allow shifing in the axis that has also wrap.

Newer version (1.3.1) of the Freetype Library, compiled with the same compiler (MSVS 6.0 SP6) as the playtest releases.
This is an attempt to fix a problem on XP.

ui\freetype\freetype.h
ui\freetype\freetype.lib
ui\freetype\fterrid.h
ui\freetype\ftnameid.h

ui\freetype\announce
ui\freetype\license.txt
ui\freetype\patents
ui\freetype\readme.1st

(Legal) notes:

• The code to generate the Freetype Library has not been included. You have to go to www.freetype.org if you are interested.
  
• There are some patents issues that may apply to distribution outside Europe. But the same issues should have applied to the original game.
  
• The Freetype Library has not been created by Activision. Stripping the comments (with copyrights!) from the source files may have been in violation of the license . Well, at least these are back in now. And I think Activision should have mentioned these guys in the credits somewhere.

Just a wild guess: could you try a full rebuild? Maybe the compiler gets confused by the "new" files from 1999 being older than the comment-stripped "old" files from 2003.

This change overlaps in source with the BombardCheck change. I created a consolidated "ArmyData.cpp" file and appended it.

EDIT: Corrected also a typo in the bombard information change!
