Hooah! :)
May I suggest that we divide up the different factions between different testers as we have done in the past - to make sure each faction gets a look. There are so many in AEE :)
I don't really have a preference, they are all very unique and interesting.

:). We'll think...

I've got warning for Vista 64 users (likely for all 64-bit OS users). Be careful with txt editing. Even smallest "clean" space between, at the end or start of text line may cause CTD.

I spent half hour trying to determine what's up with cleaning text excluded via semi-colon. It shouldn't affect code. When I deleted ";;scipii" (I marked all text and delete it) game produced CTD. When I deleted it letter by letter - ok.

Frustrating I know. It would be easier if I could directly modify the code, but of course we can't. It may be a problem with the parser by CA. It may be the way Vista handles the newline character. There may be extra special characters that don't show up in Notepad. Maybe try loading the txt file in WORD and turn on formating so that it shows all characters, including spaces, tabs, and newline. Delete extra formating characters and SAVE AS a txt instead of doc.

I thought there was a special text editor that was supposed to solve those problems? I seem to recall seeing a download for it somewhere.

At my age...can't remember where!

No...but that one looks damned useful, anyway.

It was just a special text editor that avoided all the little problems that Limes mentioned.

Nice? They look great on the battlefield. :) When AEE is done I'm going to make graphics only. Small donations will be nice :)

Thanks.

@MAJ Pain.

Hi. I'm trying to prepare new installer and I've got problems. I'm using the same software I used last time. Installer informs me that (even when BI_Intro_640x480.wmv is in limes/AppData/Local/Temp):

SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR\bi\data\fmv\"
File: "BI_Intro_640x480.wmv" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]] filespec [...] |
/oname=outfile one_file_only)
Error in script "C:\NSIS INSTALL\NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe\Modern.nsh" on line 125 -- aborting creation process

I hope you aren't asking me. That looks like Greek to me.

No, no. MAJ Pain should know what's up. I've got material for you, but can't make installer.

While we've been waiting I took a look at RTR's Fate of Empires. First off, it covers the Western Med only from Epiros to Spain. They put in lots of smaller regions..... and then made them virtually useless as part of their "revolt fix" operation. Towns like Fregallae in Central Italy are limited to a population of 400 and, I guess, the theory is that if they never grow they never revolt?

Unfortunately you can't build anything in them, either, which makes them economically and militarily useless. I'm tinkering with it.

The map is very, very good.

The economic system seems very shaky. Everything costs too much and takes too long to build and without zero-turn recruiting there is a lot of "nothing happening" for much of the time.

Fortunately, anyone who can mod EDB and EDU can fix most of these issues to make the game more playable.

I've been scratching my head, but it is hard to figure it out looking at your setup. Can you email me the whole log, instead of just the error message? Then maybe I can figure out where you need to put the intro movie. It doesn't make sense why you wouldn't be able to do exactly what you did before.
All else fails you can leave out the intro. Then I will install new version and rebuild a new installer myself with the intro in it. Then I can send it back out.

@ MAJ Pain.

Ok. I sent you error log and Modern.nsh script I used to generate installer.


@ Spartacus.

Tell me my friend whether AEE map is worse or better? :).

Btw, I'm trying to test new AEE formations form Darth...

Tested. Darth Formations will be used in AEE.

I hope we'll resolve problems with installer soon.

New shots with small part of new material.

Apples and oranges. FOE's map probably covers 1/3 the area of AEE but is still 325 x 224 pixels, whereas as AEE covers 3/4 of the world and is only 510 x 337.
