dacole · May 31, 2004, 15:34

turn played and attempted to send to minute but evidently his email is full, was sent back to me...so hey minute clean up your file and let me know when it's clean

Minute Mirage · May 31, 2004, 15:55

I did receive the turn, but it appears to be a .txt file. Could you try resending?

wgabrie · June 1, 2004, 01:21

I will take up reading, while you figure this out.

dacole · June 1, 2004, 15:29

ok will do geez this is odd..

Minute Mirage · June 1, 2004, 15:45

This seems to be the problem:

Quote:

FILE QUARANTINED
----------------

The internal virus scanner at Wake Forest University
Baptist Medical Center removed alien-secrets minute 2107.zip since it was
found to contain a potentially malicious file. (FILE FILTER= *.zip file filter).

Maybe you could attach the save here?

t_ras · June 2, 2004, 06:47

your probes took his ha

wgabrie · June 7, 2004, 12:51

You can always post the turn on here...

Fosse · June 17, 2004, 12:35

It's been quite a while... is this game a goner or has the file problem been ironed out?

Minute Mirage · June 17, 2004, 15:29

Well, all I know is that I still haven't received the turn.

Fosse · June 22, 2004, 11:56

So should we fish for a replacement?

t_ras · June 22, 2004, 12:07

mailed dacole

dacole · June 23, 2004, 18:06

crud, so it never sent it to you odd thought I sent it to you through hotmail after that. Will send it to you now from there, hopefully it should get there this time.

Minute Mirage · June 24, 2004, 09:55

2108 to Fosse.

Not bad, three and a half months between turns. By this rate our children have a chance of finishing this game.

Fosse · June 27, 2004, 12:31

Turn to Shaiko.

Fosse · June 27, 2004, 12:33

Hey, during the lapse between turns I upgraded to XP, and cannot get the XP patch to let me run SMAC. In fact, the patch file itself tells me that it is a non-XP program, and that it cannot run.

I managed to boot up the old computer to run the turn, but I don't want to have to switch PCs every time. Any advice?

t_ras · June 27, 2004, 17:33

if your using intels P4 you should also change
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm in alfa.ini to 1
you can also try cklicking right mouse on terran.exe and in the compatibility tab in properties choose run as win98.

hope it will help...

Fosse · June 28, 2004, 15:26

Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get home.

phsycho · June 29, 2004, 09:28

wgabrie · July 19, 2004, 05:04

Guys, I am no longer able to play this game right now. So, I'm going to post for a replacement player.

I'll send the game password and turn to the replacement when they sign up.

t_ras · July 19, 2004, 17:54

Fosse · July 20, 2004, 15:44
