Re: What are we waiting for?
 

Someone (you?) didn't use / have the 2.01 version of Zen's pretender mod, which I don't believe was really intended for general release. Then again, 2.1 and 2.2 (the latest) aren't even on Zen's own site, and the Conceptual Balance thread was never updated to have a single place to get the latest versions either.

Everyone should have, and be using when they create the pretenders, the same exact version of the Pretender mod. Then again, the information about the mods y'all are supposed to be using is kinda buried on page ... 4(?) of this thread, so it's not that surprising people didn't all get synchronized.

Since I have no clue about where to direct y'all to get a proper version of 2.01 (again, I'd recommend using Pretenders 2.2), I'm attaching a copy that I hadn't yet bothered to delete from my local Dominions folder.

In case people don't have the other Zen mods they'll need, I've got a post in here with links to the latest versions of Zen's mods.

Edit : Note that if the game has been started, someone may have a zero magic archmage or some such for a pretender, as the "cheat" detection does that when a pretender is submitted whose point cost doesn't match what it thinks it should be. So : everyone may need to send a new pretender if y'all don't want a gimp pretender on one team. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

2.01 is the edited version of 2.0, so those two are equivalent for all relevant purposes. If you picked the wrong one, just copy your 2.0X mod and rename it. 2.01 can be found at Arryn's site, along with 2.2 I guess. Of course, 2.2 does make changes, so that trick of renaming won't work here.

Don't worry though, the Uber Archmage (it does tend to have great physical stats... for an Archmage, that is) only appears if you used more than 500 points; if you used fewer than that, you will simply have lost some points. Most Pretenders should be fine though.

Okay, I have all the pretenders backed up here, so if ioticus wants to remake a Pretender using the right mod I can restart the game after he re-uploads his Pretender.

I offer this because it isn't fair to ioticus to have a non-Zen-mod Pretender.

However, if ioticus wants to take me up on this offer he should hurry!

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

If he made the pretender under 2.0 and we are using 2.01, then it will work just fine. Of course, I must admit that I don't know exactly which pretender mod we are using. I have been much too busy lately to pay close attention.

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

2.01.

I'll move that info up into the first message on the thread.

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

Okay, let's get started! I'm guessing that Ioticus's Pretender is fine and doesn't need to be re-uploaded.

:-)

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

I don't have 2.01, I have 2.2. Where do I get 2.01?

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

I re-uploaded my pretender using 2.01. I hope everything is OK now.

Re: What are we waiting for?
 

Hubris, you can find it at Zen's dominions page,
http://www.techno-mage.com/~zen/

Find the 2.0 and change its name as suggested just above, to 201 and you should be fine.

Or grab the copy I attached to my post a few messages back in this thread.
