Re: Changes in what a rule set can do

I'd recommend closing this thread to new posts, unless renaming it is possible. I think the title is too general. New ideas go in new threads. Let the board flourish! ;)

Tech requisites

http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.ph ... 1&start=10

I just saw a suggestion rather deep in the above linked thread and wanted to ditto it (otherwise: bump! or +1, or whathaveyou)

To summarize: allow techs to require 3 or more prerequisites (more details in original post).

....I'm just drawing blanks... :( civ is too ingrained...what's an alternate concept?

Culture-, or society-something, maybe?

Re: SDL client comments

Also, I just thought: is the SDL interface related to the web-client? (I haven't tried that one yet)

SDL client comments

I like the SDL interface, streamlined and running smooth on Windows 7. I was poking around, but couldn't find a way to open scenarios...maybe because it's experimental? Also, edit mode seemed to be missing, for the same reason, I assume.

Re: Weird AI behavior while mapbuilding

Thanks for confirming that, cazfi. I'll give it try. On the wishlist side of things, I'd like to be able to save output messages to a file, maybe 4 files for each of the types of messages (fatal, error, something I forgot, and verbose, correct?). Directing log messages to a file "-l filename.lo...

Re: Weird AI behavior while mapbuilding

Thanks for the help! Putting the space in "newzealand" did the trick...and now I'm curious: You mentioned other error output. I'd like to run the server in verbose mode, but I'm running Freeciv under Windows. I'm not sure how to make it work. My top-of-head solution would be to run Freeciv...

Weird AI behavior while mapbuilding

I'll try to make this a short story.... I started with a random 512x256 world, replaced the terrain data with jpg2ascii data, and smoothed out the coastline abnormalities (every land tile is grassland). In this state, with mis-matched rivers and resources, the AIs played fine on the map, expanding a...

Re: FreeCiv windows or linux

Does anybody know what skills are required to create a Freeciv-linux shell? Like a boot-USB that simply boots straight into Freeciv running in Linux? Sounds like turning computers into video game consoles with USB sticks as game cartridges....maybe there's already a distro for that....
