I guess it is the best or fair way to code the game..

Good to hear you are approaching another goal.. Why wouldn't you make it? Did they disallow some scores on you like others?

I have to go off to my doctors and by the time you wake up I should have a story of some kind concerning my exploits! (EVILGRIN) From Demon to a Saint!!

I am pissed off I finished my best game ever with 30,000+ pts and it crashes right after I try to submit the game. I hope it is not due to Mods being installed?? Take a peek at the summary..

I've got some empty blocks which keep dragging my score down

I don't think that it'll be from the mods...

what is the error... My last game I had to submit twice as the servers were down.. the same thing may have happerned to you

Try submitting it again...
quit out of Galciv..(or AP)
restart it and load "end game save" or it';ll be called something like that.. it always saves the game prior to submitting the score in case something happens..

then hit turn.. then the game will finish.. then check your name and emaiul (sometimes a key may have been pressed by mistakew) and submit your score...

I did it 5 times so far all have failed.. It is one that says an error has occured galciv will have to close now. Do you wish to send a report to microsoft? I have a few planets that are almost 60 PQ.. I was thinking maybe that was causing an error. I posted the problem in the bug thread not sure where to put it.

Is there a thread for metaverse problems?

Individual planet PQ is not a problem. Even if they were to cause the Planet PQ metric to go over 40, it would still submit, but with a zero score and an anomolus indication. So thatshould not be ther problem. Marquesa is also haveing problems submitting. I sumitted a game this mornint that failed because the servers were down. A few minutes ago when I got home from work I resubmitted and it rang up fine. If you are getting an error, let me suggest you reboot your computer and then resubmit the game according the instructions give previously.

As always, you can email CariElf about it. She's very, very helpful with that.

                          
#706  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/6/2004 6:22:06 PM

no that I know of... as such... most people start their own...

Don't loose your save game.. Cari will probably ask you to send it to her... Give as much detail on the game and error as possiblr.. the PQ which trips an anomolis score is in your stats section.. if that PQ in there is above 40 it'll generate a 0 score game.. It wouldnot stop the game from being submitted. so I don't think that that is the problem..

Sorry I can't help you out more..


                          
#707  by Citizen littlewotts_ - 10/6/2004 6:23:39 PM

Sounds like a game error itself, not the information being submitted.

                          
#708  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/6/2004 6:51:37 PM

Yes indeed I will wait for her to contact me I did post in the bug thread. I do not want to bug her I did put the save game aside.

Thanks guys..

It was a cool movie though I enjoyed it all 6 times now.

I am concerned about starting another game not knowing if it will error out again. Maybe I will wait for Cari to get back with me.

Admiral I have put our Empire on my home page. It is located on the sidebar NeoTech Network Menu. I included all the links if there is anything else I can put there let me know.

                      
#712  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/7/2004 1:19:12 PM

don't rely on the forum to contact Cari..
you can email her direct..
chat online with her on irc.stardock.net in #GalCiv eitrher using SDC's chat option or a dedicated IRC client like mirc

looking good..
how about another one our web page "starfleet.galciv.org" or didn't you know about it



                          
#713  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/7/2004 1:59:30 PM

I did email her and she says the game crashes when she loads it up.

Damn it I forgot to include that buddy I am sorry.. I will fix it in a bit.. I doubt that will help us get more players but what the heck.

                      
#714  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/7/2004 3:23:12 PM

Okay I know why this is happening now. I have all of the screen shots. It shows the Torians allied with themselves, shows them as #1 in treasury yet they are not and finally the last screenshot shows me having 60,000 and them only like 900 in culture (I traded them for peace all the influence they had) yet the Torians with one world left is not flipping to me. The Minor and Torians have no money at all.

This bug happened right after I discovered the Mystery Technology that is in the Icho_Tolot Mod Packs.

                      
#715  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/7/2004 7:22:12 PM

She also needs ALL the mods that you are using to play or the game WILL crash on loading up..

hmmm... sorry to hear about it... have you told Cari and Icho about it... If you have it saved prior to that then all may not be lost.. you could try playing again from that save file.. and maybe the same thing might'nt happen..
If this fails then try uninstalling that mod and playing a fresh game.. and see if it happens again..

If it is because of the mod there mayb e no way of redeeming the game as the mod indo's are nowq saved with the save games so that you can't drop mods or change parties in the middle of the game (that was the cheat that sdome of the players found and were punished for doing)

This is one reason that I don't normaly use mods...even the Strek mod has broken(corrupt) graphics in it.. but I have yet to have it fail on me so that I couldn't submit games



                          
#716  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/7/2004 8:05:42 PM

I am playing the game trying to end it differently. It seems to me that a game bug or something in the Mod triggered the bug to occur. I bet there is no fix for it and this was a special game I was in the lead from the beginning in several areas and stayed there throughout the game.

Right now I am testing a new Mod for Icho_Tolot.. I have told him about what happened. He has never had any problems with submitting games using his mods. I will wait on Cari to see what she says. I expect that she will NOT install the Mods just to see what is happening.

I have Torians down to one World only and they are at 100% moral with no indication of switching my way. I will start a new war soon I was going to wait until the negative values are gone with them and the minors to see if my theory is correct!

Are you sure? Because now, all the needed files are in the savegames to prevent mod abuse

                          
#718  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/8/2004 1:56:09 AM

no.. just the stats for them are as far as I know... I still think that they are needed.. with the known incodent it was simply a party stats change.. not extra mods..

Hurray......



Just made my first million

With the latest version of AP, all mods used are included in the savegame file so she doesn't have to install anything. This came about becuse of a cheese/cheat that allowed one to change a mod during a game to essentially use a mod that caused an invalid score than the change it on the last move to make it valid and get a 60K score very quickly.

As far as I know it doesn't save the mods.. it saves what the mods have done during the game.. The political parties are saved as they can be edited and they effect everyone in the game.. If any of the mods change the main stats on the stats screen then it is recorded and can't be undone by deleting the mod.. which is what was happening when people were edioting the political parties during the game.. so their modifications are saved with the save games along with your selected modifiers from the start of the game

Strange. The easiest way to verify this will be to remove standard files (modules, ships, improvement ...) and see what happen.

Congratulations Admiral Qwerk! I will celebrate when I reach my first 100,000.

I started a new game I gave up on the other one. I am hoping Cari will get a hold of me but I sent Icho_Tolot my savegame and he was not able to load it either. I do not understand what is going on now.
