Changing Base apearances

[Impaler[WrG]]

I resently discovered that a number of other people were suffering from the same problem I was, basicaly that when they open the save we and all other factions apear as the wrong factions. As far as I know only artwork and faction color are affected. I am glad to report I have found a solution.

The secret is to start a new single player game and select the factions for the game from top to bottom in the list as.

Hive
University
Belivers
Cycon
Pirates
Drones
Angels

This matches the order of the factions in the game and also the power graph. Aparently when you load up a multiplayer game it shows each faction as what ever faction was in that position in your last single player game. After you start the new single player game imediatly quit and load the multiplayer game and everything will display correctly. And if you dont load any other single player games it will remain that way even the next time you load terranx.

Hope this proves usfull, I know I love looking at our cool pyrimid bases and green tags a lot better then Morganic Yellow. Good luck, hope it works for yall.

This problem can also be solved by manually opening the "Alpha Centauri.Ini" file in your main SMAC directory, scrolling down a little and copying this over the existing faction graphics set:

Faction 1=HIVE
Faction 2=UNIV
Faction 3=BELIEVE
Faction 4=CYBORG
Faction 5=PIRATES
Faction 6=DRONE
Faction 7=ANGELS
