pcelt Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 Being currently in the middle of a pbem using 1.03 ----would there be any problems caused by switching between 1.04 for normal A.I. play of new scenarios and temporarily reinstalling V 1.03 for each turn of the current pbem-------certainly a pain--- but would it work technically without causing tech mayhem within the programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMan Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 pcelt, This has been mentioned before (when 1.03 came out), if you are on a Windows platform, simply rename one of the executables, put them both in the correct directory, then just run the one you need at the moment. You can setup shortcuts to them as well, so starting one of the versions is simply clicking a different icon. I've been doing this with 1.01 and 1.03 no problems. I now have 1.04 setup the same way, but haven't tried it yet, assuming it will work because of the way CM is distributed. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using batch files to copy back an forth both versions. Didn't even cross my mind to do this simpler method. An I even renamed the executable!...hehehe ------------------ Thanks for Athskin!

TwoSheds Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 Yes, but it works for now only because the EXE file is the only thing that has changed since version 1.02(everything else was just cosmetic changes).
