Re: MP Game - European War
 

Actually - TC and Machaka aren't thematic for Europe. So, since no one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition... Viva la Marignon!

Now if only someone will take Pythium, so Zen and I can revisit the days of my very first game, when I was smiting Ermor mightily - only to find out that _this_ particular purple banner was Pythium. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Heck, that's practically an invitation. So can I take Pythium?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Mictlan - Graeme
Arco - Cohen
C'tis - Alexti
Pythium - (was Thufir) Ygorl?
Van - Truper
Ermor - Vynd
R'lyeh - Msew
Caelum Izaqyos
Marignon - Cainehill
Pangaea - Zen

I think that's all? That is 10, when/if Graeme wants to start the pretender. Do you want/need Email addresses for updates?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Just give me a little time to get a pretender designed and get the needed files downloaded (maybe not in that order).

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I remember that game - or actually I remember the chuckle I got over the Pythium/Ermor mixup. And back in those days, I was almost certainly playing Van... ah the endless cycles of Dom2 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Four pretenders uploaded - I'm betting another 2 get uploaded and someone starts the game by accident. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Which Version of the mod we use? Latest (currently 1.71)?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I have uploaded my Pretender 1.71 and am good to go.

However there is a new Version of the Mod 1.72 up. It only really effects Vanheim (Truper) so whether or not he wants to try out the new Asynja or not is probably a factor if everyone would like to upgrade.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

What are the server's IP & port?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

The IP is:68.148.43.237 and the port is 5555

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Since many people have already uploaded, I'll stick to 1.71.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'd like to take a look @ zen's mod. I tried hitting the techno-mage site but got a bad link. Can someone let me know where to DL it?

Thx

Re: MP Game - European War
 

The latest link (Last post in the mod thread) works for me. But you can also get the file as an attachment to that post as well. Look in the title to the post.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Thanks Graeme.
I will upload my pretender promptly.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

1.72 or 1.71 ?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Cohen, weren't you telling everyone you'd been Banned? What's up with the melodrama?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'm also curious what Version of the mod we should be using. I uploaded my Pretender Last week when we were on Version 1.70.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

yeah need infoz on the:

0) which Version of the pretender mod we are using
1) are we using the spell mod?
2) does there exist an item mod yet? I have been afk from irc so I am out of hte loop.
3) which .map are we using (url :-) ) as there are lots of them it seems

Re: MP Game - European War
 

1.71

No as I'm not aware of any spell mod, and no because it doesn't exist yet.

zeneuropefinal.map but this doesn't matter to the players at all.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Msew, that is a beta-build http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I don't think it would cripple the game to play with it, but I do think having to have everyone go through and remake their pretenders with both Mods uploaded without having a chance to really look at the readme (which is done but I haven't packaged it) isn't a good plan.

I say 1.71!

Zeneuropefinal can be found at www.techno-mage.com/~zen/zeneuropefinal.zip

There are no crazy quirks, just plains turned into water and redoing the #nostart.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

machaka uploaded with pretender mod 1.71 and game 2.14

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Urgh I've to reupload so on, mine is with 1.72 ... even if I believe it's == to 1.71 I fear there will be problems in if I keep this one. Or not?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Reuploaded with 1.71 just to make sure.

(BTW, Graeme - might be nice if you edit the first post to have the IP and port, make it easy to find.)

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I have reuploaded using 1.71.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'll be starting the game up tonight, so if there are any Last minute changes people want to their pretenders, you now have about four hours to get them in.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

And we're off. The first turn will host in 48 hours, or as soon as everyone finishes.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I restarted the game with a slightly different .map file, since Palestine was connected to Atlantic Ocean.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Hmm. Server doesn't seem to be there. Anyone else get in?

68.148.43.237 port 5555 right?

Edit: Never mind, 3rd try it went through.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

hrmm seems I made a machaka race instead of r'lyeh and uploaded it for this game!

so no sea power in here. Which should alleviate people's issues of FEARING FOR THE RIGHTFUL RULER OF THE LAND!!!!

So the SPIDER LORDS shall have to claim that spot! ahahaha

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Is it reasonable to say that whoever finishes up a turn and gets the hosting rolling should post that they've done so here?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I tried this morning (GMT +2).
I tried four times but each and every time dominions got "stuck".
I'll try again this evening.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

First turn taken ::)

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I'll try to remember to post here should I be the Last one to go in a turn. But personally speaking I won't get all huffy if other people don't want to do that.

Turn 2 has started.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Was there a restart? I had done my turn yesterday, but just got a stale turn, and am now in a different starting position. *sigh*

This rather sucks. No research, no recruitment, etc.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

There was the one restart, which I suppose caused the problem.

Has anyone else had any problems with the first turn? I'd like Cainehill to have at least one game run on my server that didn't get screwed up in the first turn.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

So much for Marignon having the perfect starting position - the Papal Estates.

Feh. I take it you did something like deleting the homeland file and restarted the game, but didn't wipe the whole directory? So it saw the .2h files and processed the turn, before throwing some of them out because they didn't match the game.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

No problems here.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Nah, Marignon should be started in Avignon or Spain.

I did wipe the whole directory, which is why I'm confused here. Perhaps it didn't download the new .trn file because it had the same turn number as your old one?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Looking at the time stamps on our Messages here, I suspect that I got connected in a short time window (about 1/2 hour) where I got the original .trn file, and uploaded my .2h based on the original .trn file.

Didn't notice the post saying the game had been restarted with a different .map file, which meant that I needed to wipe _my_ directory and do things over, so in a sense it's my own fault, albeit I was looking for new Messages posted after mine.

This is a good reason for renaming the game, and thus the game directory, in cases like this where you're restarting the game and not just the server. Otherwise you need to make sure everyone knows that they need to delete the directory on their machine to avoid problems.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Apparently I as well, was given the "HAND OF WRATH" starting stale. The great void has said that to even the playing field, the wild groves of Pangaea must wait a season to begin their ultimately victorious conquest.

I'm okay with mine, though I don't know if anyone else is.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Right, keeping the same name causes the stale problem. I'm pretty sure I have posted a warning about that yesterday, right after Graeme has announced restart. But I don't see my post now. Conspiracy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Unless I've posted it to some other thread (or to some other board) by mistake http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

It's normal to start with 1 province only in the middle of mine and someone else capitol?

Re: MP Game - European War
 

It's not incredibly common, but I've had it happen to me two or three times. Can I just say - I hope I'm your neighbor? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

It seems to me that if several people (myself not among them) had stale turns through no fault of their own, then we should probably restart.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

New Turn.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

I take it then that none of the affected players feel the need to restart? Fine by me. But it sure is gonna be extra embarassing when they kick our cans...

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Eh - restarting the game would take too long what with everyone having to reupload pretenders before it could start again, so ... *shrug*

Besides, this reminds me of the time I had 17 consecutive stale turns at the start of the game, and _still_ came back, turned things around, and ruled the world. Heh. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: MP Game - European War
 

Turn Up.

Re: MP Game - European War
 

New Turn.
