	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

quote: Originally posted by bob rulz I need a step-by-step overview of how to do this. I am not very computer literate.

Ok what are we talking about here? Setting up a new run or a screenshot from a game?

If starting the run, just save the 4000bc before you do anything and post it.

Then play 40 turns and save at around 2190bc. Post that. You know how to do that as you already did one.

I will download the 4000bc and play it. When you post the 2190, I will DL it and see what it looks like. If anything sticks out that looks like something worth discussing I will post a step by step turn play and we can see what the impact is. Then go on from there in an attempt to see if we can get some strategy that will let you take the lead, at least by the start of the middle ages.

Hopefully way before that. You should be able to be the tech leader quite early if you have a decent civ and start location.



Now as to screen shots. How are you capturing them? If you use PrtScr, it will put the screen in the clipboard. This can be pasted into Paint. Once it is Paint, you can save it to your HD.

I save mine to the desktop as it is easy to find them. Once there and if it is in the filetype allowed, such as jpeg, bmp and such and it is samll enough (less 500K), you can use the attach file below the post repy box. It has a Browse buton to let you point to the picture on your HD.

Okay, you just wanted me to post the save? Is that what you were implying way up there? Okay, well, I hope oyu don't mind if I already placed the first city. To me, it looks like a good spot. I'm Carthage, which I've heard is good, but I've never actually played as them before, and it looks like I do indeed have a good starting poistion. here is my 4000BC save, after I placed the first city...

Just use the same browse function in the attach file section. It needs to be less than 500k as well, so autosave may be a problem.

I know the browse button is supposed to be right at the bottom of the post composition box. That's what it says in the FAQ, and that's where it was before

I was able to use the one you post for 2026. This one gets a datio errorATE, what ever that means.

Are you using C3C or Civ or PTW? If C3C I am not sure what the patch impact is, but you should DL 1.22 is you are using it.

Try to save the game again and resend it.

Well are using C3C? If so yes put the patch on and then start over. You can use the World Seed to get the same map.

If you are using CivIII or PTW just try to save the game and resend it and let me know which version it is from.

I mailed you the patch, but it may be to big for your mail service. I did not think of that, until I sent it (over 9mb).

Okay, I'm running into a little bit of a problem here

I downloaded the patch and now everything is all screwey. On the menu when you load the game, it has the option Barricade, then Build Barricade is just below it, then below that is Play Last World. However, there is no Exit at the bottom and clicking on Load Game brought up the Hall of Fame Screen, and it totally screwed up. I clicked next and it brought me the set up screen, on which the letters were overlapping, obviously a graphical error.

Now I know this isn't normal.

Let me try loading up the game again. If that doesn't work should I just reinstall it?

Okay, ya something so messed up. All the buttons do the same thing, like the top one, that says BARRICADE, still loads Play Last World, but in the world setup screen there are words out of place everywhere, just wrong in every way.

I didn't get any patch in the e-mail. I tried to download it off civfanatics, but now it's all screwed up like this

I'll reinstall the game and see what that does. If that doesn't work I'll just take off the patch. Well, if I get it going I'll either mail it to ya or I'll post it up here, if the attachemnt thing works by that time.

You can get the patch from Firaxis. IIRC the last 1.22 patch is all inclusive. That is, it does not require any other patches. The early 1.22 required 1.20.

So if you had patches applied, things could become dicey. I would get the 4/2004 1.22 patch. If you are on XP backoff all patches and then apply 1.22.

If not on XP, I would uninstall it all. Check my registry for artifacts and then reinstall. A complete reinstall, starting with CivIII. Then C3C and apply no patches until C3C was installed and then only the current 1.22 fix.

Hope that works out.

You know I like to see players get up and running and stomping the game. I got it from the old Might and Magic boards. People running into points in the game that got them stuck and here many of us knew how to deal with the problem, so why not help out?

It is hateful to get to a point that you cannot proceed and you know you are missing something simple. You want the resolution right then, but no one is there to give it.

That experience is what makes me post what I can, as many times as it is useful.

I posted something, but it is hard to tell with install issues, especally when the operating system and configuration is not given.

In the main, two issues come into play. One is to insure that no incompatible languages for game and patches are involved.
The other is to do a complete uninstall. This often means cleaning out registry entries, especially in Win98.

I also have heard of problems with bootlegged copies, but not in some time.

Good Luck and it is never a bad idea to send in a report to Atari. They may have a known issue.
