Number Of Civilizations!

hakeem-rj · January 20, 2003, 23:23

Hi, I am from Brazil (Included in CTP 2! :-)) and would like to ask you guys a question. Is there any way to put more than 8 civilizations in the map at the same time? Because I edit profile.txt, and put 32 civs, and the game enters normally, but when I try to load the saved game the screen goes black and the game crashes...
What can I do?
Thanks!
Ângelo.

As I recall you can have up to 32, or there abouts, if you use one of the mods. Check the download section and I'm sure you'll be able to find the mod you're looking for.

Locutus · January 21, 2003, 04:07

No, it has nothing to do with mods. All mods support the same number of players.

Hi Ângelo,
Good to see another Brazilian player here, we can't have enough of those

Which file exactly did you change? ctp2_program\ctp\userprofile.txt or ctp2_data\default\gamedata\profile.txt? I get the impression you changed the latter (profile.txt) but you should change the former (userprofile.txt).

You should also note that although the game 'officially' supports 32 players, anything above 28 is buggy: savegames won't load properly and there may be other problems. So for starters you may want to try with 28 rather than 32 players, then you can always check later if more will work as well...

Welcome. You’ll find the answer to almost any CTP2 question you can think of here.

Pedrunn · January 21, 2003, 06:00

Faz tempo que nao vejo um brasileiro po aqui. Bem vindo!

Did you do exacly how it show in question 7 of the FAQ

If you did. Try to set the Numplayers to 28 rather than 32 as Locutus said.

And try to load more than one time. Sometimes the game just crash for no reason.

Any problem with language or finding stuff I will eagerly help you.

Mmm...

Some kind of 'secret' Brazilian thing, hey

? Dan zal ik woorden gebruiken die u ook niet erkent.

Did the FAQ help at all, Hakeem?

Hoewel, het klinkt meer Vlaams...

Pedrunn · January 21, 2003, 17:32

hey, guys i cant understand wha you guys are saying.

Nobody told you that this is very unpolite!!!

Tamerlin · January 21, 2003, 19:33

Pardon, que dites-vous ?

Je ne comprends pas un traître mot de ce que vous écrivez.

Locutus · January 21, 2003, 19:35

The best part is, apart from ískallin, I know exactly what everyone is saying

Tamerlin · January 21, 2003, 19:36

It's not fair.

I have only understood the first Portuguese sentence from Pedrunn.

Hi, hakeem-rj,

Welcome to CTP2 land.

This gives us two Brazilian blokes in the Forum (actually, three counting Alexnm, who visits occasionally) and I would like to draw all of your attentions to the 'referals' field in your member's profile. If you get someone to join Apolyton they can mention you as the person who referred them here and you'll get kudos from Markos and Dan.

So what I'm getting at is: when are we going to get to start talking to some Brazilian females, who are reputedly the most beautiful girls in the world.

hakeem-rj · January 21, 2003, 22:19

Well, first of all, thanks for the answer, it's worked here!
Second of all, thanks for the warm reception!
About being brazilian, well, I am proud of that!

And Peter Triggs, the girls here are the best! Really, come to Rio on carnaval and you see!

Valeu!

Thanks for the Translation Maquiladora, it is far better now.

Pas un traître mot is a french expression which stands for "not a single word", I have included it in my reply because I knew it would be a kind of problem to most of the french speakers around here.

I don't know what is going on but I am no more receiving a mail when someone reply to a thread I have subscribed to.

I wouldn’t claim to be proficient in Dutch

. I spent some time in Europe and managed to pick up some words in Portuguese, French and Dutch. Dutch, of course, is a precursor language to Afrikaans, a South African language, so it’s real easy to understand and remember.

If all works according to plan – I’ll be in Rio from Feb 27! Any good pickup lines in Portuguese guys?

Is that for real? I never went to the Rio Carnaval but i believe Hakeen can give you good tips about it

Indeed they are. You dont see me complaining about girls, do you?

No you are all wrong, the most beautiful girls in the world live in Toulouse.

Though I must admit, to be fair, a friend of mine has been to Brazil and told me the girls were not so bad either.

Maquiladora · January 22, 2003, 09:14

Well man, you just gotta have "samba no pé"!
you wanna learn something that all girls like? "EU TENHO GRANA PRA CACETE!" if you say that they will go anywhere with ya!

hakeem-rj · January 22, 2003, 23:39

1) don't ever kiss girls with beard, specially in copacabana!
2) don't walk with nothing of value on your hands (seriously unfortunately)
3) if you are coming for carnival, you can go anywhere but Scala, cause there's a gay festival over there...

where are you gonna stay?

Good guess. Regtig = werkelijk. You said I sound Flemish, why? How is the spelling or grammar different? (Excuse my ignorance)

Don’t you worry about that! I’ll be dancing and partying the week away.

Nice try

. My Portuguese isn’t that rusty. And no, I won’t be telling anybody about my large club.

1) Define beard, my good man.

2) That lesson I learnt when I was a student. The chances of objects of value (money, jewellery, girlfriend etc.) disappearing, is directly proportionate to your level of intoxication.

3) Ok. I’ll remember that.
4) I’ll be staying with friends. I think they live in Gávea, or somewhere close to that.
