I might be the first tester. But the new playtest crashes when I start the game.
There are 2 error messages:
1. civilisation.txt line 3138 error: Could not find ITALIAN in string database.
2. CivAppError: Unable to Init the databases.

thats odd but it sound like you are missing some files.
if you unpack the files to a seperate dir then what size are they? it should amount to about 27 MB.

Thanks, Locutus!
This was the solution.
A minor problem: I can't select more than 31 players. This should have changed with the new playtest.

the version date used for the moment is in the 'str_ldl.txt' file, no ?
code:
### Version String ###
str_ldl_version "2004-07-26"

Really?

I couldn't really test it, as AI don't ally with other AI.
It seems to me logical, that AI will refuse to ally an other Civ if its regard is low, and for civs that are already allied and with regard decreasing (due to expel, or other bad actions), we can feel it will not stay allied for long. -> but that's a part of the diplomacy improvement.

Of course Power must be calculated from those values, otherwise you would have more values in the database then necessary.
|
I agree, what I wanted to say is that I only used the easiest formula to calculate Power (as it isn't defined).
It will be interessant to improve it by adding coefficients (a* attack + b * defense + ...) and to add also other attribute like Firepower (or movement).

It doesn't seem so logical to me afterwards I won a game by diplomacy by the pattern like this:
code:
Hey, AI let's make peace.
What! You don't want to make peace, so let's make war.
Ah, we know it and never doubt it that you make peace.
Hey, AI let's make pact.
What! You don't want to make pact, so let's make war.
Ah, we know it and never doubt it that you make pact.
If you just have enough power in the original game, you can blackmail everything from the AI, even its last city.

So far, all problems I have encountered with the .NET release were reproducible with a 6.0 release.  So, it looks like we are not stuck with an old compiler. 
Regarding the PW fix: I would suggest adding new enum values at the end of the list - not somewhere in the middle. If you put NET_INFO_CODE_MATERIALS at the end of NET_INFO_CODE (just before NET_INFO_CODE_NULL, which serves as an end marker), you do not change the coding/interpretation of the other messages. For later debugging, comparing against the messages of an original Activision release will be so much easier, when the codes stay the same.
Also, you should have a look at NetInfo::m_args - you still have to add the data for the new message, but it becomes easier to find out where exactly.
Actually, without knowing, you have completely messed up the table by inserting in the middle. It is impossible to predict what will happen when you play a network game with this release  .
