Hey Appolyon,can you fix the 6K bug in your patch please ? I would still like to play with your patch installed,because it improves the zoom so much etc. ?

Like when I click the mini patch it goes into this screen with all thesequestion marks and square boxes and stuff . whats does it mean?

Ap0 ! Congrats on this patch dude ! Its all cool, 2k setts are now very popular...

I have a problem though, probably just a side-effect of the patch, but when I am on max zoom out (I love it !) The selection box drawn by holding the mouse and dragging jumps from the mouse coords it is at up or sideways making selection difficult. So if i draw a smallish box, its all fine, make it too big though, and it just expands all of a sudden.

Anyone else had this ? I think it is just the fact that I play at max zoom whenever I can. I zoom back in when i have too much probs.

Nice one ap0..

[Apollyon]

Thanks, and yes I experienced that problem as well. There's no way to keep the extra zoom-out feature withyout having this problem, unfortunately.

Ap0 - so what your saying is that this is a feature...

Well, I've been messing around for a few hours with some of the emperor files I hadn't really looked at properly yet. Here's a little patch that will work online with other people. It changes the following:

1. Camera can zoom in and out further

2. The player colours, teal and orange, are replaced with white and black respectively

3. Money can now be set at anywhere between 2000 and 60000 (Note this may not work in games where not all players have the patch so ask first [i haven't tested this with nonpatch players])

4. The FOW on the minimap is now white so that the map shape is easily seen.

I've found a few other values that I hope to put to use in the future as well, including a possible expansion to the buddy list and the ability to host 8 player games. Either way I'll keep you posted.

Good question. Why would it be deleted and not archived? Unless hwen he put it up it was still there, although he should have provided a link when removing file... ???

Although the file is found here.
