Average World - TTT

[Geo]

Zak's HGP is poised for completion! Say your prayers.

If its any consolation, he must have lost worth half a dozen impact rovers in minerals because of the switch.

Deedee's native units are wriggling out of the most unexpected fungal spots here.

Good news: I think I managed to snatch the HGP from under Zak. Good work, team.

You didn't have enough crawlers to snatch the VW from under his nose?

I must have done something wrong on my .ini file. Kirov is looking Hivelike, and Bodissey preaches.

It sounds like this is standard faction set (as in vanila SMAC)
Each time you start a game where you set standard or crossfire set, these factions are adjusted in ini file. So you may lost your "average world" set.
Also, if you rename the file by mistake, the ini file gets recreated, but terranx.exe defaults to the new set, starting with Cycon.

Actually, I didn't want to snatch it from under yours. I figured you'd hold that against me and I certainly don't need you as my enemy, especially at this moment. You see, it came to my attention that there are certain factions on the Planet (and some of them rhyme with "fusion drive") which elected to push for weaponry and vehicle chassis solutions before they fully automatized their industrial capacities. In my experience, this means only one thing: winter is coming. Brace yourself.

This is the entire problem in this issue. SMAC enters new factions to .ini as it starts/loads a game, but this does not apply to your MP games, which use the faction setting from the last SP game you played. This will keep messing with your .ini no matter what you do manually. So you either need to do what Bodi said, resort to Iniswap, keep a separate copy for this game or just live with it.

Well, you looked like this time.
HGP would've worked as well for me, and might've been better in the short run anyway.

Note to self if I ever release a SMACX mod again: don't place the PTS and crawlers on the same tech.

Another work-around for the MP faction graphics bug is to start a new game with the same factions in the same order, save, exit to menu and start the MP game - then always load the save before your turn.  I can confirm that this works; it's what I do.

Seems Zakie will get his SP one way or another. This time is the ME. I hope he will use it responsibly.

You said it, man.

In other news, I'll be on vacation starting the 16th for a week (back the 23th). My question is if you guys like a replacement that week for me or not.
