By the way... 'never played Street Wars. It is still under license/copyright control??! If not, is there any place I could find it on the internet for downloading?

Thank you.

Yaay! I've got 2 computers with Win98 SE installed on both of them and the full version of Constructor too (400 MB). In order to play multiplayer you must set up an IPX connection protocol, TCP/IP will NOT work! I connected the two computers via crossed-ethernet cable. Works fine! IPX is stable, but only in LAN. You can't play through internet. LAN is fine for me! It is really challanging to compete against each other (human players), much MUCH more fun than playing against a computer enemy.. Besides, computer enemies CHEAT!!! They can build houses even if wood yard is not built. And they have unlimited money, because you can steal from them forever. Which means they don't have to worry about the rent and they can make tenants to make babies only. And they never upgrade rooms, they don't need it.

Hi, OK, so I downloaded Constructor. I read all the forums and ended up downloading DOSBox, learning how to use it, then it was too slow, so I downloaded D-Fend, which took away the slow-ness NOW all I have left are complete disabling of movies. Everyone here is saying goto options in the game and disable the animations yet the options in the game only let you disable them alittle bit. So, does anyone here know how to disable all animations COMPLETELY? I'm assuming one would have to go into the files wich ==complicated stuff yet I'm pretty good at figuring out by trial and error. Please help, I've done my part by learning about cpu cycles, dosbox, and D-fend. Thank you so much

Made it work finally (im' the "guest" that posted above) ! Now I have another problem
Does anyone have a trainer, or knows any file editing cheats for the game? Money.. Lumber, Bricks, Gadgets in stock etc? The lack of funds, combinend with the task that tha council gives me (wich cost a lot of $$$) drive me mad.
you mind telling the world what you did to make it work? im looking at the exact same problem, and no matter what tweaking i do (using d-fend, anything else is silly) it will not go away...

just tryed some more, and i have a feel that setting the core to "normal" seems to remove the problem. not 100% sure but its typical that i get it working the moment i have asked someone else what their fix was...

heh, that guest is me. and it looks like its not the type of core thats the issue, but a need for atleast 9000 cycles before the build problem goes away...

Well, that's pretty much the basic idea... nothing to "strangeorous" regarding the settings... 1 or 2 frameskips, cpu core- normal, no doublebuffering and other stuff like that. Just try to set it rather like you'd like your computer to be
(or like most of them were in the days when these games were new) than trying to make the settings as close as possible to your "super-machine"
...
I dunno. Worked for me.
