AI War Beta 4.069 Released!

[Fleet]

I found them at one point...where are those files hiding now? They were plain .oggs in the music folder, but I only see one now.

There's also Expansions/1/Music/ , Expansions/2/Music/, etc.

[Fleet]

My folders are empty...I normally have the game muted, and have not noticed the music. Wonder how long ago the files were erased...and why.

Fleet -- probably you install the AI War 4.0 betas, and then never installed the official releases via the installer.  For bandwidth reasons we didn't include the music in the in-game updaters or in the original beta installs.

[Fleet]

So grabbing the files from your download page would do the trick?

[x4000]

Yeah, exactly.  For the base game, and the two expansions.  The third expansion doesn't have it's music released yet.

I hope this doesn't sound terrible, but is it possible to turn everything off, I mean, the Zenith and Neinzul and go back to a plain game. Or is it possible to purchase an earlier copy of the game, say 1.0 ?

I'm just a little overwhelmed with not the bad guys, but with so much stuff, haha, I'm just trying to thin it out to a minimalist game, at least for a little bit, til i can get better at understanding what everything is and how to play better.

I really really love your game, i hope this doesn't sound bad, i'm just trying to limit my options, if that makes sense.


Thank you,

When you start a new game you can select all the options you want in it from the initial game setup screen. You can turn off all the expansions, and you can even turn off ship types until you're down to the very very bare bones of the game.

1.0 was... well... yeah. Like BobTheJanitor said, you can set Simple Ship types in the Lobby as well as disable extra ship types and expansions, and set Vanilla AI.

Thanks to everyone for the help, I was able to get the plain settings as you described and it does look very different.
I think this will work beautifully for me.

Hope i didn't sound crazy or something, just wanted to, you know, understand what i'm doing, haha, well... that will take a while. But beautiful game and appreciate everyone's help.

Take care,

Just a quick dumb question if it is alright, In some pictures of the game screen that i have seen, online, there is a mini-map in the top right corner of the screen.

Is that still available?

I found in the keys section that 'T' displays the mini-map, but it is a full screen overlay. I don't know if the mini-map was changed and now the big map is the mini-map, or if i'm blind and can't find it. 

Thank you to everyone for all their kind notes, it has been a wonderful help. 

Take care,

The old minimap in the corner hasn't been re-implemented yet since the port to Unity, but we've gotten enough requests that we are likely to do it at some point
