Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Well i just took a look at a small galaxy. Its way TOO small for 5 players. The game i tested would have genererated about 3-4 systems for each player. I suggest sticking to a medium sized galaxy. Lets take 3 homeworlds with value "good". 5 or 10 would be too much. And really take a medium sized galaxy, else we wont develope at all before making contact, and since development is quite slow i suggest a medium galaxy, that way everyone can have about 10 systems or.


Anyone ?

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

We could use a small galaxy but use FQM Dense Paradise, low warp points. That way the number of systems is still small, but there are a ton of planets and easily defended choke points.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Well whatever. I just made a new standart game using the first quadrant in the list and a galaxy with about 20 systems showed up. You re the man brianeyci.

p.s. i will upload my EMP tomorrow, im sorry.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Whats the problem nowadays anyway ?! Brian didnt even uploaded his empire yet, and we got a new player. Come on, lets start now.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

No problem nowadays, just procrastination.

I approved Kana and I'll be uploading my empire today. Sorry peeps =D.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I lied again, I'm going to upload my empire tomorrow, sorry. The game will probably start tomorrow.

Um... What's the holdup?

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

My infinite laziness.

Game will be Online either today or tomrrow, promise lol.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

If we are going to consider restarting the game...are we also going to update to 15.03 data release?

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Actually you might want to wait for 0.15.04 some time tomorrow evening PST... There is an ugly bug with weapon platform built in combat bonuses stacking. 10 WPs with +10% bonus to hit abilities in the hull = +100% to hit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Yeah, okay lets wait for the newest release. Im sorry we have to restart...

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Ok...I saw the new game, and have withdrawn from the old game...

Are we going to use 15.04 data files?

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Hrm dammit.

Okay. Game will restart with 15.04 when it comes out.

<edit> As an aside, how do I change my game from "Stock" to "Adamant 15.04" when the game is already in progress and running? </edit>

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Post a request in the Admin Request forum at PBW.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Well I updated my game folder, and my adamant folder with 15.04...Now I don't have the correct data files...they don't match what was started with...so I can't load the turn. So I guess I will have to roll back some how the data, and run my turn, then we can all get 15.04 and play that I hope...if it is installed for running on the PBW server.

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Well. I'm probably going to have to run the turns offline with a new game file, so you guys will probably have to redo your turns with 15.04. Sorry =(.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

0.15.04 was installed on PBW Last night. Post on the PBW admin requests forum to get your game updated...

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

NP Brian...as long as we get 15.04 running, and we are starting fresh...then it will be smooth sailing from the start...

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I'm getting invalid data files...grrr...I've done everying I could think of short of deleting all of the adamant file, and reinstalling them all...I over wrote with the 15.04 data files...and I can't get the game file to load...Help!!!!

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

You should be able to downgrade 0.15.04 to 0.15.02 just by extracting the data files from the 0.15.02 patch file. The entire Data folder is always included. Click here if you need to redownload the 0.15.02 file: Adamant Data 0.15.02

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Ok...I overwrote with 15.02. Turn loads, but I have no facilities on my planets, and cannot design ships...what gives...? Am I going to have to delete, and reinstall the whole Adamant mod?

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Erm... Have you tried loading the savegame more than once? SE4 sometimes displays nothing when you first load a "new" mod.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Yep...multiple times...I'm at a loss...I guess I could remove all of the adamant files and try reinstalling the whole mod...

Edit: Tried deleting, and reinstalling...no dice...see all planets, but my HW's have no facilities, and I can't make ships...Any ideas...? Some what to list what order I should install the files in, etc...?

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

My suggestion is to send Fyron your empire file and let him try to start a game with it. I'm sure that he can figure it out with the data at his fingertips. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Empire file worked fine before we setup the new game, and switched to 15.04. Yet I'm the only one with a problem...Do I have to withdraw from the game, and then reenter the game, and use a new empire file?

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Try it out. We have waited so long, one or two more days wont matter at all ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I think I figured out what the problem is...some how during the switch to the new game, and loading 15.04, the empire file I was using, isn't in my game directory. I don't remember exactly what traits, attributes I picked, so I can't recreate the same empire file that may be recorded from the game...I am assuming that Brian is using the ones we uploaded for the first game.

So if Brian can send me the empire file via email, I will put that in my game directory and see what happens...I will also prepare a new empire file just in case he can't get it to me for whatever reason, and I will withdraw, and rejoin, and resend a new empire file...

Sorry for the problems, and wait...

Edit: Ok I tried it with a new empire file in the directory...same problems, No facilities, and no way to create ships...realized I only had 15.02 data files loaded...tried with 15.04 data files, and it wont even bring the turn up...this is starting to get very frustrating...and I may just consider withdrawing all together, and let you all get on with your game...

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Kana no.

We're going to figure out how to get you back in the game. We'll restart the whole game in 15.04 if necessary, we've only played 1 turn holy cow.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Okay I've recreated the game with 15.04.

Should be no problems now.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Thanks,

Well Brian reset the game...I dl'd the file, and when I load it, I still do not see any facilities...it says I have 0/20 on my homeworld...this is getting ridiculous...

Would a bad empire file cause this? Do I have to have a copy of that empire file in my game directory for the game turn to work correctly? If this is so, Brian I need you to send or post a copy of the empire file you have...

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Is there a chance that you forgot to select a race type (physical, organic, magical)? I'm not trying to insult you, just racking my brain as to what the problem could be. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Would you like to send your empire file to me so I can take a peak at it? Feel free to remove the password from it beforehand. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Email address is in my profile.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I thought I posted what I thought might be the problem...I uploaded a empire file that the first game used, new game was created...empire file I assume was moved by Brian to the new game...I somehow deleted the original empire file I created and uploaded to PBW, off of my hard drive. So if I dont have that exact same empire file on my hard drive, and game directory will I have problems? I would like to get the empire file I originally uploaded from Brian an put that in my game directory to see if it will fix the problem, or I could withdraw, and reenter the game and upload a 'new' empire file.

Fryon: I will send you a new empire file I created, that will not allow me to see facilities and such...

Brian: Send me a copy of my empire file if you can, or get a PBW admin to send me one.

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Just send the new empire file to Brian and have him use it when he restarts the game. He does not actually have to use the empire files stored on PBW...

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Sent you your empire file Kana.

See if it works, if it doesn't I'll restart again.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

When oh when will this game finally starts...i must have been waiting like half a douzen weeks now.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I got a mail telling me to upload my turn. I hope im right, we will start a new game so no need to upload turns, yes ?

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Well lets see if Kana's Empire file idea works.

Brian

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

You don't have to have a copy of your empire on your local drive in order to play a PBW game so that can't be the problem.

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

It seems that the empire file that brian sent me doesn't have any of the player options selected in the empire file...I will send him a new empire file...I figure that should hopefully fix the problem...

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

Ok if you have a proper empire file it works just fine...I guess what happened was I posted a bad empire file for the first game...sent a new file, and then things were working fine. We had to start a new game, and the file that brian used was the first bad file...Now with a new working file I can access the turn and see facilites and such...picking the 30k abilities does make a difference it seems...thanks for patience all...

Kana

Re: New Game : Adamant Mod 15.02 10 Planet Small G
 

I was able to download the turn and open it. I upped my new turn. Hopefully we can start a pretty neat game now. Everyone, remember the one-partnership-only rule. I suggest bryan to post this as news.

Kana: The 30k abilites are paradigm. They are necesarry, without them you wont get access to a proper techtree. You should have asked us, it is obvious why you didnt see anything lol.

gg !
