Reports on the playtest release:
The readme file does not match the actual game. The code changes of 10-12-2003 are listed in the readme file (the last 4), but appear to be missing from the executable.
The path of upsg001.tga in the ZIP-file is incorrect. This file should be moved from ctp2_data\default\gamedata\graphics\pictures to ctp2_data\default\graphics\pictures to get it to display.
The screen layout of the start-up screen has to be updated.
The "THIS MATERIAL [...] ACTIVISION" message is partially hidden by the hotseat button, and in its turn obscures the version number.
I had no problems playing it.

To clarify - does it go over the unpatched vanilla CtP2 or over a patched install?
edit: this might be embarrassing considering i havent read the readme yet, downloading sloooooowly

Ok first thing
[FIX]
"Neptun Map", it has the wrong description next to it, it says its east to west connects, obviously thats Earth, should be north to south connect only. Dunno if this is posted elsewhere
By the way i extracted over the vanilla game with 1.11 official patch on, so tell me if this is wrong asap.
edit again:
Okay i got it on now and the Neptune map description is still wrong, but disbanding units in the city mananger now works properly, woohoo.

Well this copy and paste stuff.
Use the file in the attachment instead of the ldl_str.txt.
Note for users of the German version of the game the string is already correct so you don't need this file.
For the disclaimer on the start screen I prefer a string like the version info, you have to consider that I don't want to have an English disclaimer in a German CTP2. You can remove it with the same work as you would replace such a string, and the scenario editor disclaimer is also just a string. Of course for now it is ok but for later builds we need the possibility to localize it, without replacing 900 kb large images.

I don't see that this with the disclaimer has been addressed, it is still an image of 960 kb. But actual I expect this needs some more time but not ages either.

Actually i just made this, was it something like that you were searching for?

Well I experimented with the version string and accidently stared the default game, what ever I enter there it gets replaced by v1.1, so it is also hardencoded into the patched ctp2.exe, however I think we don't need "fix" this.
But I think in the end we have to find another solution for the disclaimer, it is very tiny.

Its big enough in my opinion and placed very prominently too, i dont think that could be a problem.
as for the version number i dont have that problem so i dont know what is causing it.

I installed it on my patched ctp2 install at first and it didnt make any difference in the 20 or so turns i played, then i reinstalled ctp2 and extracted the zip over an unpatched install.

The main difference between the patched and unpatched version is the ctp2.exe, of course there are also some text file changes but these are minor and therefore there is no problem for the unpatched version to use them, only the slic files might be a problem but as long as you don't use a mod, and actual we already added stubs for all the slic functions of the patch, so there shouldn't be a problem except if the mod uses database accept like CTC. So just replace the ctp2.exe of course not without making a backup before and you are fine.

In my opinion it is small so that you can overlook it.

As you quoted me I talked about the patched ctp2.exe the ctp2.exe that is actual version 2.1 and not 2.0.

If you mean the official Activision 1.1 (or 1.11) patch, don't bother with downgrading. Installing over the patched version works for me.
At the moment, we have been concentrating on the vanilla game. For mods and scenarios, there will be some text files that have to be updated. E.g. you have to insert a line in const.txt setting MAX_MATCH_LIST_CYCLES to some value. IIRC it was 6 in the original game, and the new line should be after the one setting RIOT_LEVEL in const.txt.

I think its more than enough to satisfy the legal obligations Activision has set, but then again IANAL.
