CivNet version 1.0.1 -- Patch 1 -- 12/1/95
File List: civnet.exe, smedsnet.dll, civeng0.dll, civeng1.dll, civger0.dll
civger1.dll, gcpsystm.ini, nwipxspx.dll, civmaps.exe, patch.txt
Changes and fixes in patch 1:
- NETWORK DETECTION
In an attempt to make the network setup process more easily understood
we added another dialog that appears when you select the Network item in the
Multiplayer Setup. This dialog offers a choice between NetBIOS and IPX/SPX so
the final decision can be made by the user. The box will attempt to detect the
correct type of network and select the corresponding option. These .ini lines are
no longer used or neccessary:
Network.drv=Netware.drv (in system.ini)
Protocol=NETBIOS (in snet.ini)
- NWIPXSPX.DLL
This redistributable file from Novell is now part of the install and will
allow CivNet to use IPX/SPX networks that are not Netware. This will now allow
people to play using the Netware compatible drivers provided by Microsoft in
Windows 95.
Note: If your network setup uses NetBEUI, you must use NetBIOS, not IPX/SPX
- HOTSEAT
There is now an option to allow players to not see each others maps. This
checkbox is found in the startup window when choosing the number of hotseat players.
Problems when a civ was defeated has been fixed. When a human player is defeated,
they are just removed from the game and the remaining players are informed that
that civ has been defeated.
Civs controlled by AIs will no longer initiate parley. This is to avoid the problem
where the AIs would try to talk to someone who might not be at the console at
the time.
- TRUE TYPE FONTS
CivNET will now detect if the "Show only true type fonts" option is set,
warn the user of this condition and exit without crashing.
- MULTIMEDIA TIMERS
Some older installations of Windows 3.1 do not have the multimedia extensions
installed. This was causing the ERR_TIMERSETFAILED error during startup. This problem
has been fixed. If CivNET cannot find the high-resolution timers, it will use the
standard Windows timers. The intro movies may appear chunky, but it will not crash.
We recommend installing the multimedia extensions.
- 16-COLOR DESKTOPS
CivNET was not designed for less than 256 color desktops. If you are running
in a 16-color mode, CivNET will warn you of this fact and not continue.
