I dont have a mac yet. But Ive considered installing it on my iPod and my xBox  |
How many computers do you have dom3 installed at? o_0 |
Short Answer: 5
Longer Answer: at my house I have 2 servers and 5 desktops. I prefer Linux servers, WinXP desktop, and Mac portables. 2 of the desktops are mine, one is one sons, one is my wifes, one was my brother-in-laws but he moved away so now its just a spare test machine. All are networked.
And yes, I have 5 copies. Now if you REALLY want surprised, ask me how many installs instead of how many machines. Im so ADD that my project directories get very messy. I work on one project, then get bored and shift to another project. I always have a dozen or so in the works. So my dektops have seperate directories for map projects, mod projects, programming projects, server testing, seperate ones for various mods playing MP so I dont confuse my test gods or modded gods with ones I can upload to games.

The reason I made this poll is; I was thinking to make a script that allow the user to switch themes in Dom3, but basically it's only helpful if Dom3 is installed ~/dominions3 as it requires permission to switch files globally...which defeat the purpose a little (for easy use).
The script should something like;
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/dominions3/[custom theme] && cp -r gui*.tga mapbg.tga ~/dominions3 &
cd ~/dominions3 && ./dom3 -u --enablemod [mod.dm]
cd ~/dominions3/[default theme] && cp -r gui*.tga mapbg.tga ~/dominions3 &
Or something along the lines.

Ahhh. I remember a conversation like this in another thread altho I think it was a windows thing then. The question of how many Dom3's is nothing compared to the question of how many Dom3 icons.
I do like having a "Lord of the Wild" icon (Winxp desktop machine) which takes me directly into my latest Pangaea game and on the way in it swaps my theme with a comfortable dark-green Pangaean theme.
I originally liked just having thematic versions for each play but I have also noticed that playing with a firey lava theme and head-banger music tends to make me play much more agressively than the cool green Pangy one and Alt-Celt music. So now I let it also affect my choices when I MP.
