Garland's Legacy - TTT

Hive is a Yes on this one.

Guys, how do I check my version?
I found that I should be holding down Ctrl+F4 to see it, but opening the game in main menu or starting a new game and then trying it yields nothing.

I also compared terranx.exe files and both the "modified" date and file size is equal to patch 3.3 (not "b") from this download list:
http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;cat=2

[Mart]

Patch "b" does not change the data (rules variables, alphax.txt structure) and it was made to eliminate some introduced error in basic 3.3. So I think we should play 3.3b.

The version 3.3 is meant cause it differs from 3.4 as for the data structure. 3.4 has something new and alphax.txt is different compared to 3.3.
So playing latest 3.3 (3.3b in this case) is implicit, I think.
And it is possible, in 3.3 CTRL+F4 was not reporting version yet (I mean Yitzi patch version).

[binTravkin]

Ok, I will reapply 3.3b just in case. Might be that it is already present, but since both files are same size and b is not zipped, can't say (zipped files keep modify dates).


On the 70th anniversary of humans landing unto planet, the Planetary Governor proposes to improve commerce rates between human factions by signing a Planetary Trade Pact!
Current votes:
Nay: Spartans & Gaia's Stepdaughters
Yea: The University & The Human Hive
Other three human factions are expected to cast their votes within a year.

The Angels vote Yea on the Planetary Trade Pact.

In other news - no technological problems to report. We suspect that turns involving diplomatic comms, random events and other unusual occurrences are the ones that cause the difficulties.

We thank everyone for checking their installations to assist us

Ok, I will reapply 3.3b just in case.

It's not a good idea, use 3.3 I use it now.

If I understand the council rule, I can't vote no for the double trade. Am I correct?

[Buster's Uncle]

Paging Kirov - I think we need a CMN ruling on 3.3 v. 3.3b - everybody ought to be consistent, surely.

[Eldramatico]

Actually no, it wasn't with the 3.3b patch I played even if I had downloaded it, I realized my mistake was that my shortcuts linked on the already installed from the old times I played SMACX. I'm really sorry I'm not thinking at my best I'm pretty sick.
I recall it was with the windows XP patch and the alien crossfire 4.0 patch installed after.

Damn that one was bad from me. I'm really sorry.

The description of 3.3b:

Code: [Select]

Description: This fixes a display issue in the base overview screen from 3.3, and also fixes a number of bugs associated with AI freeing of captured faction leaders.

As always, this requires the text files from version 3.3. So this is UI issue, and something pertaining to freeing captured leaders.

In the future a player could attempt such probe team action.
I think we can all go to version 3.3b. There was nothing game influencing so far. Unless "display issue in the base overview screen" means, that someone made wrong decision based on wrong data. But it sounds cosmetic to me.

So at this point, for like several turns forward, it really does not matter if we play 3.3 or 3.3b. There is no captured leader to free.

[Eldramatico]

I've installed yitizy 3.3b over 3.3.

I hope nobody's angry at me. I tend to feel somehow bad about my mistakes, in real life like in alpha centauri for different reasons.

The Planetary Governor sends out his congratulations and best wishes to other factions.
The increased commerce is helping to bring forth great advances of humanity.
Let us prosper together in peace!

Hoorah for more Prosperity! 

I hope nobody's angry at me. I tend to feel somehow bad about my mistakes, in real life like in alpha centauri for different reasons.

I know how that feels    Don't worry about it Eldramatico - it's complicated having several installations and mistakes are bound to happen. I only started raising the issue because I felt so bad about the reloads - so we should both probably stop feeling bad now 

 

[Kirov]

Hi gang, how are you doing? Do you want me to check the game for any problems? I don't even have Y3.3 now, but I checked the faulty turns under 3.4 and oddly enough, everything seemed to work fine.

[Buster's Uncle]

The question is Yitzi 3.3 v. 3.3b - everyone ought to be using the same version, right?

[Kirov]

According to Mart, 3.3b is only a bug fix and shouldn't create any problems. Mart, can you confirm? The game itself was set up in 3.3, but I believe it's safe to transit. In fact, I'm rarely on time with upgrading to latest Yitzi and I've never run into any compatibility problems between various versions.
