Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

Huntsman: the way I understand it, changes that don't affect pretenders shouldn't need a remake. Did you make your pretender using the 5.0 mod? If so, it should be fine. I'm excited to start! Last night we talked politics all night; so I'm ready to start weaving the web...

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

Every pretender worked under the 5.0 mod. I checked it out. Supposedly, the 5.1 mod does not change this either, so it works with the existing builds.

wen we start?

Hmm, I think this was meant for Mork. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Anyway, I too am excited to get this off the ground! BTW, *who* was talking politics all night? And where?! Is this some secret conclave of wyrms or something? A country club for wyrms, perhaps? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

The files are in. I will start creating the game right now, and it should be done in two hours at the latest (very likely in less than half an hour, but I might get interrupted by dinner).

I guess I will be using the 5.1 mod for the sake of simplicity: if Panther finds himself with an armed rebellion to switch back to 5.0, he can alter the mod during play.

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

The game has been created, with all fines sent to Panther. The .mod file used was the one attached in this thread (I didn't alter anything here).

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

Yes, we like that. Please forward all fines to Panther in the future as well.

As always, thanks for your time! Now go eat dinner before it gets cold. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

Umm - I don't think there's actually been a 5.1 mod. Morkilus posted that he fixed the flying boots, and he regretfully put a 5.1 revision number in it, but he implied that he didn't fix anything but the flying boots having 2 water instead of 2 air.

In other words, to the best of my knowledge the heroes are still messed up, militia #18 probably still has 2 shields, etc.

Quantum had posted that he thought he'd have 5.1 out this weekend, but it doesn't seem to have happened, and what Morkilus posted was at best 5.0 with one bug fixed, not 5.1.

Re: Game has [b]almost[/b] begun!
 

That would be it yes. I was thinking about putting a custom mod name instead (like CB_COW) or some such, avoiding any mod conflict with other games, but I decided to stick with the standard name instead.

I think it should still be 5.1, as it does fix *something*, whereas I would expect a 5.01 mod to only fix cosmetic things. That, and having only one 5.1 around will help avoid further problems later on, if you wish to upgrade the mod during the course of the game.

Game Underway!
 

The first turn files have been mailed. I know that the first turn is usually slow because poeple won't have the right mods, or email addresses don't work, or any other numerous problems, or just because!

But try to have your turn done and sent back to me by Thursday. I will be out of town Fri-Sun. I am thinking of changing to a Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday schedule since I am frequently busy on Friday nights.

You will need the mod attached in Page 14 of this forum. You will also need WINRAR software from http://www.rarlab.com/

As for the mods, we should change to the official 5.1 version when it comes out if that happens to be soon.
