Let the game start!

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Don't forget to grab Turin's latest Hero mod v1.2, released yesterday.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Hmm... I'm assuming we won't use the new hero mod, only because most of us sent in our pretender a week or so ago, and we would all need to resubmit with the new hero mod. But, if it's decided to use the new mod, I'm fine with that too, I can quickly remake my pretender when I get home from work.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

The hero mod will not affect any pretenders. No need to remake anything with the v1.2 upgrade. You just need it in your mod folder to run the game.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Yeah, all it does is slightly increase a couple of the heroes that might or might not show up. (For instance, a couple may now have a sword of sharpness, etc.) Doesn't affect the pretenders at all, nor does it change the spell casting heroes enough to affect nation design choices.

Re: New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy
 

Oh, my mistake. I guess that would be logically correct, if it doesn't affect scales, magic, or pretender, it's not necessary to remake a pretender to use the new mod. So in this case, it's kind of like a map, as long as it's in the correct folder, it will be used. Got it.

Problem
 

Ugh! I knew there would need to be a problem.

I was getting the game set up, but when I hit "create new game" (after putting all your pretenders in the Newlords folder), I get an error "wrong gnumber" (with that spelling).

Does this have something to do with CD Key numbers?

Also, I notice that Arkas's pretender is 7k while all other pretenders are only 1k. Is it possible that Arkas accidentally sent the wrong pretender file (e.g., sent a pretender file from another game)?

I sent an email to Arkas to inquire.

A quick search returned this quote from Johan:

See thread here

I think you're right about Arkas's pretender file.

Re: Problem
 

If memory serves, gnumber is when you use an order .2h file, and not a Pretender .2h file; 7k is way too big to be a Pretender, but it can be a small order file. I had the same problem in another game, and I'm pretty sure it was the gnumber message.

Whollaborg: Heh, you're welcome; I guess I will just create a game when I feel like getting into a new game (once my current game, Song of the Blade, is over)
