sent to GF.

I wonder how alexman did it?

ormuzd · July 11, 2003, 01:35

Alright, ralph. I'll substitute him.

GhengisFarb™ · July 11, 2003, 09:34

Got the save put can't play it because PTW keeps goping to a blank black screen when it hits the game options screen. Works perfectly fine through the movies and what not.

Will have to figure out how to fix it tonight. Anyone had this problem before?

Adagio · July 11, 2003, 11:49

You mean it fails before you can load the game?

It is still running, you can hear the music and can hear when you click things but the entire screen is completely black once you hit the main menu.

Reinstall?

ormuzd · July 11, 2003, 14:48

cut the intro?

That's also what I'd have tried first. It might also be worth to check your graphics adapter and its driver.

Yup, PlayIntro=0 in the ptw.ini may also work. It's my standard setting anyway.

GhengisFarb™ · July 11, 2003, 15:12

I will reinstall tonight, it does the same thing whether I cut the intro or not, and it plays the intro fine, just the main screen won't display.

Eli · July 11, 2003, 16:41

I never knew PTW has an intro.

Harovan · July 12, 2003, 10:02

Sigh! Now what will we do?

GhengisFarb™ · July 12, 2003, 15:17

And three reinstalls later..............

GF: 3? 1, 2, 3? Well, I guess it's good the expansions are not counted only the main numbers

Harovan · July 13, 2003, 05:24

Seems to be the first contact. Congratulations.

Even though tech trading is not allowed, the tech discount still makes contacts attractive.

875BC to ADG.

Turn played...

(Last minute I recieved my turn)

Harovan · July 17, 2003, 07:34

Bump! Two days without any response?

Who holds the save? Perhaps you should resend it, ADG?

This was once a nice, quick game with nearly a turn per day. How comes it has that dramatically slowed down? Can we get back to our old pace, at least nearly? That would be great.

Adagio · July 17, 2003, 08:08

I have uploaded the turn to my website, which makes it much easier, and CerberusIV knows it (It's always the same link, so I told him to bookmark it

).

I told him to keep an eye on this thread, so he knows when it's his turn, and he agreed.

CerberusIV · July 17, 2003, 09:56

turn sent to Ghengis yesterday evening. (Poly was busy - now there's a surprise

)

ADG - I am quite happy to download the turn from your server but can't always access Poly to check the thread. Could you send me an email to say the turn is ready in future? (I know that kind of defeats the object of putting it on your server but..)

Adagio · July 17, 2003, 10:25

Sure, np

The problem with sending the email is it takes ages to upload the save as an attachment (It doesn't do it when pressing "send", but when adding the attachment)

Adagio · July 17, 2003, 10:27

Or if you have ICQ, I could also send a message there

GhengisFarb™ · July 17, 2003, 10:53

I have just gotten the save. I would play it but the server for my home computer is apparently being maintenanced. I should be able to play and pass on to Eli today.
