Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
 

Got my turn file, but I think I need 2 files for the random map, correct?

I get an error msg, asking for "west_east_1.rgb", but according to the manual I will also need a .map file, as well...

Hi guys,
For all correspondance with me, you will find me easier to reach via my email address - I check it much more frequently than this forum.

sorry, can I get the map file again?

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
 

You should probably e-mail him Valandil, since he just said he doesn't check this forum so often. I'll PM you his address in case you've lost it.

I did email. thanks.

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
 

Ok I just submitted my 2nd turn. is my first dom3 MP game but seems to work fine.
What I really miss is a feature I got used to back when I played SEIV PBEM. The host would be a webserver (automated) and you would post your turn files there. As soon as all files were in the server would process the turn and auto email the new files to all players. This takes effort away from the human hoster, and more importantly for me, lets everyone see who has not yet submitted their turn. It is also a convenient way to find the email adress of all players in your game to start diplomatic exchanges with.

Is there any way or chance of having this set up for dom3?

Re: Random set up, PBEM game for new players
 

That's the standard way that most Dom3 multiplayer games are run. The only trouble is that you need an always-on computer, so unless the host is one the lucky people who have one, sometimes PBEM is the only option.
