OT: MOO3

strange that you're having moo2 problems... I was able to run both the dos and win95 versions on winxp.

Well, my monitor is almost 10 years old. I have a Savage Pro card, and I did find a gamma tag in my video settings, but it was disabled due to not having the right kind of card. I'm thinking of getting another one, like nVidia, but I'll have to save quite a few pennies at this time to get it.

You can get a decent nVidia AGP card for $30-40. It won't be running modern high-end games, but it should cover older games and less-demanding games like SE5 well enough.

Moo3.exe from Strawberry 1.2 does not start. If I take the older one (1.1) then it starts, but the version displays 1.25. How can I see if Strawberry 1.2 is active?

Well, the mod will still be active, since it alters other data files. The reason there is a modified .exe file is because of the data patches applied; parts of the mod. The version number just displays the MoO3 version, not the mod version. 1.25 is the latest official patch, so that's okay.

What you can do is to delete the strawberry exe file and put the old( patched ) one back in place, then manually apply the data patches using the Moo3Patcher.exe file that follows with the mod.

Thanks, Raapys.

I remember the Tropical Mod displayed the Mod version...

I have patched every item with status "unpatched" in the patcher, except one item with the status "incompatible" :

Senate Victory requires 2/3 of the vote.

PS: I had to use it with Strawberry 1.1 exe because the backup exe has displayed "incompatible" for every item.

You don't have to patch everything, though. You can take out changes that you don't like.

I thought the Strawberry exe file was already patched with most/all of them. Note that there's also a .dll file involved, which is the file that decides which patches can be applied, I believe. You'd also have to rename the backup exe file to MoO3.exe for it to work. If you did that, then I'm not sure what went wrong. At any rate, as long as the strawberry exe works it doesn't matter.
