SJ,

How is your latest harddrive working?

I feel your pain.... one of mine HD's died too, a 60 GB.... I remember one of the things I heard when I first starting working with computers, "backup, backup, backup"... Unfortunely, I heard it after the drive died... I have some of the stuff backed-up and the rest I will have to rebuild (dl,rip,etc.) oh well... Live and learn (hopefully)...

Good luck with your new one....

P.S. UDF-CDRW's rock...

MacLeod: You need to download the Imagepack. (see SJ's signature for a link) Just replace your default images with the imagepack ones. (Notice I said replace the default images, not delete them. Just rename them to something else, and rename the imagepack images with the old default names.)

The Image mod is linked in my sig.

Kirby:
Well, at the moment the only thing I know that works is my CPU fan and my case. I think my RAM might still be good, and there is a chance my motherboard/chip might still work, but the rest is toast.

Should be getting some new parts today though!

hehe new problem...

When invading a planet if the invasion takes too long, the combat stops and the defending planet gains control of all of the formerly invading troops.

Ouch

At least I can still nuke 'em!

Doubt you can fix this but just making sure you know.

Fyron · #57 December 9th, 2002, 12:45 AM

You should post a savegame in which that happens...

Suicide Junkie · #58 December 9th, 2002, 01:11 AM

Too long as in how long?

I have had combats Last more than a year (10 game turns), and eventually won.
What happens there, is the planet will remain under the control of the original owner, and both forces remain on the surface. The planet will be marked with a "Forces of the XYZ Empire are attempting to capture the planet"

Ground Combat resumes at the end of every subsequent turn until the conflict is won by one side or the other.

I think I know what's happening but I will have to test to confirm.

If I join in on a treaty with the intended victim combat stops and he gains control of all my troops on the planet.

Fyron · #60 December 9th, 2002, 03:03 AM

That makes sense then. Your troops can't stay on his planets if you sign a peace treaty with him. The game engine has no idea when a troop transport of yours will be around to pick them up (as the transport could easily have left, or been blown up by other enemy ships). So, it just gives them to the defender.
