yah lol i forgot about that.

game is up and flying http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

ok for turn 2 i'm getting the endless "waiting for game info" connection bug. From experience on mosehansen's server, the game needs to be stopped and restarted. I'll send yossar a PM.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

thanks yossar!

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

All right, the game now officialy on turn 2. Cheers everyone! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The server is currently not on 24h quickhost, but I assume that it is because Yossar want to see how the things go before switching it to quickhost. Correct? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

I started the game on my main computer but now that it works I moved it over to my backup which does nothing else, so that should stop the .temp errors. It should be smooth sailing from now on, but you never really know...

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

My scales seem to have dissapeared.
Instead of my well thought of scales I get -1 sloth and -2 misfortune.
Maybe it's a Dom-II bug or maybe it has to do with this specific game.

Anyway, I'm fine with that and will continue the game. albeit a bit dissapointed... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I wish you all good luck and good game.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">If you lost your Order scale, among other things, on Turn 2, this is a known Dom2 oddity. Nobody knows why exactly this happens. Your scales should reinstate themselves in due course. Think of it as a random event.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

The server seems to be down atm.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

Another temp error when it tried to host. They seem to have done something with the server system since patch 2.08 or 2.10 since it's a different error from what I used to get.

I'm running one single game in Windows 2000 so I have no idea what could be wrong. Any ideas?

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

/me kicks Zombie

oh, and yossar, could you perhaps put the server on QH, not 24hr quickhost, when you go away for a week? If something messes up, and we can't connect, having the server force host anyways would destroy the game, instead of just creating a little haitus.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I don't think it would matter much, since so far when something was messed up the server just go down and game stop (except "mod" problem that we had in the begining, which was fixed). But we can do it, I suppose, just in case. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

well, before the machine really crashed, i was getting the perpetual "waiting for game info" bug. From experience on mosehansen's server, someone in a game could get that, everyone i guess, and yet the game will still go on.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

server down http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

did zombie get his turn in? because, if so, it seems to crash/get messed up only when hosting.

I accidentally kicked out the ethernet connection. Should be back up now. Right?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I took my turn, the game hosted, then I disconnected.

I reconnected shortly thereafter to take my next turn. After putting in my orders, the game hung as I was trying to exit.

I force-quitted the game, then reconnected to make sure my orders uploaded--they had, apparently.

Now I can't connect.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

yeah, it is unhappily down again, perhaps for a completely unrelated reason.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

Hmmm. If somebody will notice the free spot on Mose's server, please reserve it for us, ok? We can't keep buging Yossar to put server back each turn, he would go crazy. Besides he is leaving on vocation soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Personally I could live with Scores turned ON. It's not that critical after all.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I just tried to do this. The first task is to upload the zencradle map, but I received error 500 (Internal Server Error) trying to do that.

Someone else want to try?

EDIT: It just occurred to me that the server may not want to overwrite the existing cradle.tga file. We may not be able to do this without Mose's help.

EDIT: Next thought - maybe if I rename cradle.tga, and also change the reference to it from within the zencradle.map file ...

The zencradle map is uploaded and there's a free slot. And I'm a complete moron for doing this, since I had a great start in the existing game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'll leave to Stormbinder to actually create the game, if that's what he wants.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

All right, I have uploaded Zen's Cradle on Mose's site.

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">ROFL!

You too Zap? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I thought you gave up trying to do it. So I modified .map myself, downloaded stupid WinZip from the net, renamed both files, packed it and and uploaded it.

Now Mose's server is the proud owner of two Zen's Cradle maps. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif Mine is called "cradlez14". I mean - you can't get too much of good stuff, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

So, are we officially restarting?
Can I delete the old game?

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

All right guys.


I think it is quite clear by now that the Yossar's server is not working for us, unfortunately. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif With game crashing one or more times each turn, and Yossar leaving on vocation next week, I think we should persue other opportunities.


Thanks to encouragement from Zapmesiter and our combined efforts to upload the map http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif , there is now new game on Mose's server, in the slot that become available just few minutes ago. The name of the game is (surprise! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) Throne_Of_Heavens.


If it is ok with everybody let's upload our pretenders there and use it as our host for this game. All game settings are identical of course to Yossar's game, the only difference is that it is not possible to turn OFF scores on Mose's. Some pleayers don't care about scores, some (like myself) dislike them. But hopefully it is not that critical difference for each of you.

I appologize for all these unconvibience. But as you know, it is not something I have any control over. At least nobody invested too much time into this game yet, since we only managed to get to turn 4 by now. On new server things should go smoothly and painlessly.

So what do you think guys? Is everybody Ok with Mose's server?

Stormbinder

Re: MP Game - "Throne Of Heavens", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually, maybe we could just zip up and transfer the ftherlnd and .trn files from Yossar's machine to Mose's, and continue from turn 4 (?)

Certanly not through the scripts that Mose have there. Besides, we only did 3 turns. It is easer to just start it again and be done with it. And you may do even better in the new game than in the Last one, who knows? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Sorry, I really don't understand why it was getting a temp error after every turn. I've hosted games before with no problem. Something got changed in the Last patch and I'm not sure how to fix it...

9 pretenders are in, only Major with its Marignon is missing. Hurry up Major! The infidels are waiting for the flame of True Faith to lighten their way in the Valley of Darkness. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

ehh, zen was kind enought to send major a note, and its not like he's even been able to connect to the old server in a day and a half. If he doesn't show up fricking soon I'd vote for a replacement.

edit: why the hell is there this "post extras" line?

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

Sounds reasonable to me. I'll send Major another note, and let's give him two more days to reapper. If he will not show up by Tuesday, we will get a replacement for him.

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

Why mess with a replacement? Nine's enough, IMHO.

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

its already been 2 days since he Last would have been able to do a turn
and he hasn't shown up to inquire what's what. any takers?

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and experienced players only (full)
 

I've sent Major PM, he haven't reponded yet.

I am ok with 9 players, if you guys think that this should be enough for the Cradle. As I said earlier, I haven't played this map in MP yet, but it seen to be not too large for 9 people.

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

(drums fingers impatiently)
Haven't we stuffed around for long enough?
Why not just start the game?

Re: MP Game - \"Throne Of Heavens\", veterans and e
 

I was really hoping we could get a number of turns in this weekend.
