Didn't notice this thread until now.

I'll jump in. Who's ahead of me?

Julius Brenzaida · June 24, 2002, 11:55

Allright, I have downloaded and will play before tomorrow afternoon.

Julius Brenzaida · June 24, 2002, 11:58

Sorry Vlad, didn't see your post while posting mine.
I am the one ahead of you, but play now, I have other games going

Welcome to the team.

Vlad Antlerkov · June 24, 2002, 12:02

Rabbit:

Can you repost the savegame? The zipfile downloads fine, but there's nothing in the zipfile!

-Jrabbit · June 24, 2002, 12:14

5 downloads but no one else mentioned anything... Can't do it until I get home tonight. Not permitted outlaw programs like Civ in my work environs. Sorry for delay.

Welcome to the group, Vlad.

Vlad Antlerkov · June 24, 2002, 12:21

Ah well, probably just me...

I'll download Netscape and see if that works.

Vlad Antlerkov · June 24, 2002, 12:29

Ah nutbunnies. Netscape doesn't work, either.

Can someone else try DLing it?

(BTW: Most of those downloads are mine

)

Marquis de Sodaq · June 24, 2002, 12:36

I just verified that the zip file is a dud.

-Jrabbit · June 24, 2002, 14:10

don't know what the heck I did... Seemed to take as long as a normal upload...

I'll be home around midnight GMT and will try again.

-Jrabbit · June 24, 2002, 18:55

Well, info sez it has 37,654 bytes in it, which is about right for a zipped save.

Posting again here. then I'll try to DL.

then I'll probably have to start over and try again.

FYI, I'm a Mac guy, using ZipIt, which has successfully uploaded my saves in the Campo callenge thread in the past. But I "admit" my affiliation so any Mac bashers out there can take the oppty to bash my hardware, as opposed to my computer skills.

Or maybe both... whatever. :shrugging smilie:

Sorry for the double-post. I went to do this --- ie, to post another attempt at ZIP when lest burnt out --- and my browser hadn't reser.

anyway, here it is (?) again.

Since I'm committed to other family activities tonight and go to the dentist in the a.m.

, I'd appreciate a PM -- or better yet, an email letting me know if this has succeeded. (I'm PMing Vlad when done with this.

Vlad Antlerkov · June 24, 2002, 19:52

Both savegames are bad... :/

Actually, come to think of it, Jrabbit, could you post the save itself? (File size shouldn't be much of an issue. Most savegames are around 140k, around a minute upload time for a 56k modem.)

(Or maybe it could have something to do with the fact that you're using a Mac, and everyone else is using a Windows-based machine.)

If I'm not able to play the game from Jrabbit's save, what should I do?

-Jrabbit · June 24, 2002, 23:59

It's within file size specs, but the uncompressed Mac savegame doesn't want to upload.

Trying again -- 4th time tonite. (Already emailed to Vlad)
Gotta sleep, so if this doesn't work, and Vlad can't deal with the Mac file, just do what you gotta, move on without me, I guess.

Plenty else to do -- like write some history etc. Tuesday is pretty solid dentist - work - golf --- so I can only check in sporadically during the work segment (US Central time).

AAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!

-Jrabbit · June 25, 2002, 00:14

Ooops. Oh yeah, One last attempt to attach. Appended a .sav extension, so maybe this'll work.

-Jrabbit · June 25, 2002, 00:18

Very frustrating, guys. really feel bad about all the hassle.

(but at least I can feel good about my post count

)

Julius Brenzaida · June 25, 2002, 06:07

Well, I still can't load the damn thing

If by tomorrow, the problem is not resolved, I am sorry, but I am afraid that Vlad will start from the Marquis' save.

Scouse Gits · June 25, 2002, 06:44

No I can't either

Zedd · June 25, 2002, 14:19

woops

I thought that everyone else was on hold, thats why i jumped in. Not intentional. This is julius' gig so i will follow his lead

and look forward to seeing how everyone does. If its OK since i have the download i'd kinda like to play a bit of it just for fun so i wouldn't post it any where, jsut curious as to how I would fare in this type of world, never played anything bigger than standard large map and i usually hate islands.
