This updater brings Chaos Overlords from v1.0 to version v1.1.
How to Update:
This updater will only work on the retail version of the game. If you attempt to update a demo version, you will DESTROY it.
1. Double-click the "CO Updater 1.0->1.1" application.
2. It will ask you to select a destination folder. You should locate and open your "Chaos Overlords ƒ" folder. You know you are in the right place when "Chaos Overlords ƒ" is in the pop-up menu next to the "Folder:" prompt. The scrolling box below should have the folder "Data" visible.
3. Click the "Extract" button. This will start the installation.
4. During the installation, a dialog box warning you about replacing duplicate items will appear. Click the "Replace ALL Duplicates" button. The installation will be completed.
If you did not get the dialog box warning you about the duplicate items, then you probably just installed the update to the wrong location.
Changes:
• Added the SEARCH: SITES panel. This panel is accessed through the SEARCH button located on the right side of the screen under the RANKING button. The SEARCH: SITES panel allows the player to get a better overview of the sites on the map. The panel has a listing of all of the sites. You single-click on the sites to toggle the hilite of them and double-click to get info about the site. When you click OK, all of sites that are hilited will be shown on the map in amber. You can also use the ALL or NONE buttons to hilite all or none of the sites.
• After clicking the done button in a network game, you now continue to look at your "console" until all other players are done. This allows you to look at the decisions that you have made (although you cannot change your orders) and you can send rude messages to the slower players.
• Implemented lots of new hot spots to enable you to gather more information. You can now double-click on all gangs and items to get info on them within the Attack, Equip, Give, Research, and Sell panels.
• You can double-click on enemy gangs to view their stats.
• Added -H and -J as shortcuts to "Host Game..." and "Join Game...".
• When starting up Chaos Overlords, it will try to make sure that your CD is properly setup to play the music.
Bug Fixes:
• If you won more than three awards at the end of the game, any awards given after the third were given to the following player. This has been fixed.
• When you opened a saved network game, the host entered the game immediately. This would occasionally confuse computers (mainly Windows95 machines) that joined, and they would never enter the game. This has been fixed.
• "Siege" was misspelled. This has been corrected.
• When playing a MacTCP game over the internet with more than 2 players, the game would sometimes get confused if there was packet loss. This would cause Chaos Overlords to continuously request data from the host and never enter the game. This has been fixed.
• In the Give panel, the OK button was always available (even if dimmed). If you selected an item but no target gang then clicked OK, the Give command would be accepted. This has been fixed.
• Fixed display of date (added decimal point between year and week) in COMLINK: INCOMING MESSAGE and LAST TURN EVENTS panels.
• After a network game was completed, if the host exited the game immediately, the other players were not be able to view the map. This has been fixed.
• After finishing a game with a turn time limit, the "COMPLETE" turn would still have the turn timer running. This has been fixed.
• It was possible to send blank messages to the other players. This has been fixed.
