Alrighty then! Thanks PF!

Hmm... I tried to program, but it takes more time to do it in that program than to do it manually. So I'll stick with the text editor. Sigh...

The PBW game has begun! Several players had no passwords, so I entered fillers, and will email them shortly.

I was supposed to switch 2 players to different slots, but I don't remeber who anymore. I couldn't find it in the Search feature. Who was I supposed to switch?

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

What strategy settings do you use to get your transports to head towards enemy planets as soon as the battle begins? I've only seen two things happen so far with the settings I've tried:

1. Drop troops primary, optimal firing secondary.
- The transports sit back and wait for the fleet to damage the planet. The combination of high shields from all the facilities and weapons platforms (even a few of them) generally leads to ridiculously heavy casualties amongst your ships before the transports head in.

2. Drop troops primary and secondary.
- The fleet sits back while the transports charge the planet. They die, of course.

I'm looking for some combination of the two above. I need the fleet to head in and distract the defeneses while the transports slip through the cracks and land the ground forces. What strategy settings should I use?

IF: Interesting, I have no clue how to start/do my turn for the B5 PBW. Never played by web http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Ok, get error about mis-matched data files??

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Easy, download the turn from the PBW site. Open the game, take your turn, then use the PBW site to upload it. If the turn file was sent to you in email, just unzip it from there... then reply to the message and attach the PLR file to supmit your turn.

It's really pretty much the same thing as a PBEM game.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That means you don't have the same data files that I do. I suggest you reinstall the B5 mod (back up the orignal install first), and then apply the 1.49.33 patch to it.

Done & turn sent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Turn sent where? PBW shows that you have not yet uploaded a plr file. You need to upload it to the PBW site for the game, not email it to me (if that is what you did).

I found out who I needed to reassign, Jimbob and Stargrazer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
