Hi there Joe,
Just tried a reinstall & update to the latest versions- This is what I get: (Both vanilla Alpha Centauri & Planetary Pack)
Protection ID states that no protection was detected/ unknown protection.
On loading I get the generic Safedisc message that no disc is inserted, Abort retry or continue. Pressing continue about 5 times gets rid of this.
Then I get this:
Quote:
The Alpha Centauri CD-ROM was not detected. Some game features will not function without the CD in the drive unless you have performed a "Complete Install".
Retry OK
|
Small note- The text for the CD check string is called by this section of the jackal.txt file:
Quote:
#FILEFIND_NOCD
#xs 320
#caption Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
#button Retry
The Alpha Centauri CD-ROM was not detected. Some game features
will not function without the CD in the drive unless you have
performed a "Complete Install".

(I assume that this means that you could make the CD-Check message say whatever you want

)
Another edit!!: The Safedisc message will come up unless ANY disc is in the drive, no matter what it is.
Small edit: Safedisc version on untwiddled exes from the Planetary Pack is 1.4.004.
Totally confused

(And no-longer amused!)
