anyone notice jackal.txt
Look in the main installation directory for Civ III and open up the text file jackal.txt (I think that's it, I'm at work now).
Looks like it's a configuration file for multiplayer stuff... Guess they forgot to remove it from the install...

Well here we go again
Who will unlock multiplayer first? Will Cid get another 50 bucks from us, or will we just unlock the options ourselves? 
Don't forget to find simul turns, and the hidden civs while you're at it guys.

Thanks!

Hmm, Jackal is the programming library files for all Firaxis´games (the games engine if you will). So there should be references to multiplayer in there since the same library files were used in SMAC and Gettysburg (even if MP is not yet included in Civ III).
I hardly think that there is just a way to "unlock" MP and make it work... 
Guess we´ll have to wait and see.
Ced.

--BUMP--
After taking a look at some of the functions, it appears that a server architecture is contemplated.
Anybody have further thoughts?
MarkG: you could move this to creation, where it would get better traffic.

[Jeff_Morris] It's the library error messages for the engine we used
[Jeff_Morris] Jason coleman wrote it...jackal stands for JAson Colemans KickAss Library

Seems like we have the answer here...!
