New version of catgod for v3.08
I've updated catgod to include the new nations in v3.08.
Download new copies for Linux/Intel and Macintosh OS X/PPC.
I'm sure Windows players will be glad to know that there's a Windows port of catgod coming. It mostly works, but we're trying to track down an intermittent bug.

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
Uhhh, okay so I found out what this catgod program does. It reads pretender files, very cool!
But I have doubts of running binaries which I haven't compiled myself.  |

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
 Oops! I editted my post to add the link to the documentation.
Let me talk to the devs about a public source release. There's really nothing special about how catgod works, and other people have figured out how to read Dominions' files. But... the game files aren't strongly protected, and ways catgod reads the pretender files could be reused to cheat in MP.

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
I agree, the abuse potential is high, and as I heard there have already been some cases of it. I like to see source because then others can pick up a project if the original developer loses interest in it, or if others want to build something on top of it. Being able to read your old pretender files is such a darn important missing feature that I've been asking for it whenever possible. Thanks for the program!

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
Good work. I look forward to a Windows version at some point. I need to be spoon-fed, due to the fact that I am not completely computer literate, like others around here, so a Windows interface/GUI would be great.

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
I'm working on a GUI, and a windoze version of catgod would greatly speed up the process - I don't have a Linux box available, therefore I can just guess what may work cross-platform and do lots of reading while actually few coding atm. (and I'm busy with RL issues and was with testing Dom3.08, what doesn't exactly help, either).

Just adding my own voice to the chorus of Windows users.... A Windows port of catgod would be great!  |

Hehe, all the Windows fanboys are whimpering... You could install Cygwin or AndLinux under Windows if you can't wait for a windows version... |

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
How is Cygwin going to help if you don't have the source code?

Re: New version of catgod for v3.08
What, Max? Doesn't cygwin just let you run linux programs on windows as if you were just running linux?
