Re: New Game Server

I can connect to the server. We are waiting for me to take my turn (Atlantis), but i can do nothing unless Zachariah puts my correct .2h file in the game folder.

Sorry.

Email it to me at my address:
zack@evilzombies.com

and I'll put it in place.

If you know a way around this, I'm very interested. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

use '--noclientstart' until you want to start the game. <hr /></blockquote>That just makes it so that no one can start the game. There's no way to start the game from the command-line, only through the GUI, and there's no way to say that only a particular user can start the game.
thanks for your help,

The server is there now: it may have been down for a brief time.

Re: New Game Server

Hmm, I just dont see how putting a different .2h file in the game folder will help. The first turn has already been generated by the host. I cant imagine how you could do a valid turn without connecting to the actual pretender..

Re: New Game Server

I'm going to force host this evening (in 10 hours or so). There are some folk who dropped without becoming computer controlled.

Re: New Game Server

You can put down the other server now, I've beaten everyone exept the computer, and thats just a matter of playing the game. but as it in effect would be a single player game from now on, im not going to bother http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Also, perhaps we should restart without the dropouts? they can be a pretty disruptive force in the game, and we're still in the beginning.

Re: New Game Server

I'd rather not restart. Its just another element of chance. At least there's 2 of them, so that evens things a little.

Re: New Game Server

I just forced hosted again. I'll set the timer for two days (in case I miss it), but if every human gets their turn in, I'll host.

See you on the battlefield!
