quote: Originally posted by Keygen Gilg, the CVS server will be setup per our demand and if I am not mistaken, with the blessings of Apolyton or at list Locutus'. In a way it will be an extention to the forums. And if I remember correctly Locutus had asked Activision if a CVS server could be setup in a location other than Apolyton and they gave their permission as long as people that have access to it agree to the terms of the EULA. Regarding the dedicated server I received an email a week ago asking to send a photocopy of my debit card and id with a fax. I had to email them again to verify that this is the procedure. The verification was made but the fax number did not include the US code so I had to email them again. It took them several days to reply to me with the same number they had originally sent me I don't know the US number but when I try to send a fax to the number they sent me it does not appear valid. The number is: (310) 314-1610 I guess I will have to do a search to find it myself BTW, I moved into a new house wich caused me some signifficant delays.

OK, then it shall be OK.

For the fax-number, just add 001 in front and it shall work. 00 internatinal and 1 for America (Canda&US&some others).

Shall work then. If you need help, let me know (via PM) I might be able to assist from work.

From the FAQ (Legal section):

quote: D) Am I allowed to use a CVS server to develop the game? The EULA forbids keeping copies of the source code for reasons other than backup. Using a CVS server would require you to keep a copy of the code for another reason (i.e. to coordinate the work of several people), so is therefore strictly speaking not allowed. Activision's interpretation is that the use of CVS servers and similar tools is allowed, as long as anyone who has access to the code has agreed to the EULA.

This is a valid telephone number that reaches a fax machine. You will need to dial xxx-1-310-314-1610 where xxx is the international access code in your country.

Just wanted to make sure people don't forget about. I don't want us to loose the great opportunity to enhance CTP2.

Too many things, which started off nice, have been flushed down, as people took too much advantage out of certain occasions.

Well Gilgamensch actually I shouldn't give hints at all, therefore I shouldn't say it too obviously. But unfortunatly I must admit that I don't look on the birthday table either, therefore I cannot blame anyone for not noting it.

Looks like like it is rather night then morning at least the downtime should be over when I will visit Apolyton, tomorrow.

thats nearly a book - you two must have been having fun

Excellent points in the computer game design section

I enjoyed egypt too (well except for all the guys trying to sell me stuff i didnt want ) I spent new years eve(1990) watching the sun rise from the top of the great pyramid, it was bloody freezing

And i'm slightly disapointed that you didnt pick England for a quarter final spot in euro 2004 (just joking of course)

nice work both Solver and Locutus

I haven't been able to do much on the project lately because I've been completely bogged down in real life: I'm moving back to Canada. I'll probably be preoccupied for some time but as soon as I can I'll be back to programming.

In the meantime, here's a little something new to look forward to when I get a chance to finish it off (turns to next pop):

Just out of interest peeps, do any of us have any great wishes that were dashed in the face of new releases?

I ask cos of the project in which many of you have taken it in your own hands to try to make CTP2 the game that it should have been in the first place, and then some.

I have to say that at first I was really impressed with CTP2, until I realised that for five-thousand years I had never once actually had an AI stack attack any unit or city of mine, NOT ONCE!! I was so frustrated I could have cried, cos CTP2 felt like a backstep in all but name. CTP is NOT Civ, it is its own franchise with its own feel, and I felt that CTP2 was torn between its predecessor and the Sid Meier games.

Well most of the modded games i've played fixed this to a greater or lesser extent(WAW mod was the greater, Med Mod the lesser and the others like Cradle, SAP and Good Mod in the middle).

So play a modded game - you will get attacked

Unfortunatly we did not much with the AI, we improved the path finding that also helps the human player and made sure that the AI does not continue to achieve goals that have become invalid, for instance to continue to attack a city although that city has been destroyed.

Unfortunatly the AI cannot do cross water invasions, and that is also true for mods therefore you should play on huge landmasses. And of course with mods.
