The Great Library: Important Thread Index & Useful Links Help yourself to an AD-FREE life


The Great Library

  • What is this thread about? - The Great Library is the directory thread for this forum. It contains a listing of all threads (currently from the Great Cataclysm of April 2005 to December 31st 2005) that have been deemed worthy for repeated retrieval.

  • Which threads get listed here? - The basis for listing a thread is simple: Did the discussion create something of value? A valuable thread may discuss a new scenario being created, a new game mechanism found, or even something to do with the general community. Threads that don't answer any sort of question or bring up a fact about Civ (basically Civ2 and its immediate derivatives) are usually not chosen.

  • I've got an important thread to list! - Post it and the forum moderators will make sure it gets indexed here.

  • Why was this thread created? - This thread was created so as to create an easy and simple way of educating the community and to allow for easy searching of information for scenario builders and players.

I am missing some things that existed before the crash:

Old GL
There was a subforum of SLeague that served as a GL. Many important links were there - I think they should be added here.

Hexediting
Also very important threads about hexediting appear to be unavailable:
You know Allard Hofelt wrote his hex-edit.rtf document (I have it on my harddrive).
Then AH started two threads which contained many corrections and new discoveries:
The thread Everything about Hex-Editing (but I don't know the link) and
Everything about Hex-Editing - UPDATED (this link doesn't work for me)
And recently Mercator and Yaroslav started a completely new document stored in one topped thread of the lost SLeague subforum.

I contributed to these threads but found no one of these 3 threads among my subscribed threads. So maybe they were lost during the crash? Can they be digged out? Or does anybody have their copy?
They contained a lot of info that were discovered by several people during a long period.

That's great news, Agricola, but ouch! Are you sure you want to put their email addresses out there verbatim for the spambots?

[Edit]Btw, if you're not happy about the missing threads, then please let politely let it be known at SL Forum Recovery Update . Merc has been carrying on the fight too long on his own.

Dammit, I can be amazingly sloppy and stupid at times. I pasted the top section of the hex-edit file into my post without even looking at the contents.

Thanks for pointing out the errors of my ways. Maybe Mercator should also delete the e-mail addresses in the file before he uploads it.

Thanks again.

AGRICOLA,

Could you either post the file or send it to me? Slowthinker inquired here on my behalf as I was looking for the new information for a project I am working on (see link in my sig if you are interested).

If you want to email it to me send me a PM and I will give you my email address. I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

@St Leo

It'd be helpful to have a link to Stuporman's Supply & Demand Calc thread in your first post of this thread (Game Mechanic Threads?). It would help any designer whose scenario relies a lot on trade.

I think we should keep it in here, if just for the sake of those who keep their monitors at a low resolution. That way they will be able to see more new threads on the page at one time.

I will add in more links tonight and perhaps sort the groups with numbered lists. I'm hoping I can make it to the new year.

I was kind of hoping we could use this thread as a sort gateway to the Wiki, assorted threads, the Civgroup, and other sites. That way we'd have a one stop shopping center for all your Civ needs.

What do you think?

You can provide them in a post or through PM. Those would be the best ways. Also a description would be wonderful for each link. Thank you very much!

Glad to help! The first salvo... (unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to verify these are still active. Also, I'm assuming that the group categorizations are OK. If you want individual descriptions, feel free to say so.)

oh, and a question- I have a bunch of graphics sets I want to put on the Civ Wiki site, but it says that bmp's are not preferred. However, due to the state of my computer, that's the only format I have. Is there a reason bmp's are frowned upon?

I've since gone through all these sites. They are either no longer active, or they have been put in the revised list below, which also has brief descriptions of each site.
