Re: OT: Having fun with pictures

I use Directory Opus ( here (http://www.gpsoft.com.au) ) in place of Windows Explorer. It has a batch conversion option for images, allowing you to set filetype and size. Works quite well.

Phil,

I'm Dutch (cheers) and last year I had the chance of speaking to a South African. We found out that if I spoke Dutch and he spoke Afrikaans, we could have a perfectly good conversation. Some...

Re: Ship capture

There's some 'rules' that I use for designing such a ship.
- make it small (harder to hit)
- no shields (they'll be dropped as soon as you attempt to board anyway)
- maybe one weapon for...

Re: Let\'s be friends (Getting AI to make peace)

In a Proportions game I was playing recently I ended up starting right next to a neutral race. Found them on the 2nd turn, they declared war on me but since they were neutral I didn't really bother...

Re: OT: Nothing More Frustrating

Public transport is rather tricky to get working correctly, but if you do manage to get it that way, it will actually pay for itself (and make a nice profit too, in larger cities).

Re: New ships modding?(n00b question, sorry) ._.

Rudy,

I highly recommend that you patch up to the latest version. Not only might it solve this problem, but it'll be a big improvement to gameplay as well.

The patch should come in the form of...

There's 2 that I know of:

MLCad (http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/)

None of them are as fun as the real thing though. I...

Re: OT: Nothing More Frustrating

TerranC,

How's the public transport in your city? If you make sure there's enough other modes of transit around, it can reduce the road traffic.

Another thing to consider is creating one-way...

Re: OT - Computer Issues (aka \"blue screen of deat

Turin,

Have you tried booting up in 'safe' mode? It's a long shot, but I've found that one cycle of properly booting and shutting down Windows can often fix nasty stuff.
