Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Did you get my fixed Breen EMP file(just checking, with my current track record I probably attached the wrong file or messed it up or something http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif , I bet it's somehow my fault PBW blew up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif .....)

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Got it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I still cant get into PBW. I will have to email you my emipre.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I'm in now. I'll upload it normally.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

One more day...(right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif )

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Is PBW back up yet? When do we go? Today is the 11th(or 12th in some areas).

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

i cannot find the forum... but the empire is up.

As I did not have much time.... Not to much thought went into the empire... So it is a standard setup....

I really miss hitting that game forum button on the left...

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Hmm, I guess I don't miss that feature much on acount of this being my first PBW game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

BTW what do you think of the new avatar, it was done by David E. Gervais from the other topic. It's based on a pirate shipset I'm doing.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Tesco, the game forum is still there, you just don't have a link to it on the left. You can reach any game forum by going to the PBW public forums and hitting "Show all forums" at the bottom.

However, to save you some time I added a link ot the game forum into the game description for the game. Hope that helps.

I don't know if this will affect this game or not cause I don't recall when everyone joined. Anyone who joined the game after the problems started on PBW Last week will not be able to post in the game forum. They might not even be able to see it.

And any game created after the problems started will not have a game forum at all.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

that would be why.

Thanks geo.

Either that or I just skip over it.

Many Forums there...

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

the game forums are good. I really miss looking at them. As I also just run games... So i have no clue on what is going on. And the Forums are a great place for RP , and NON RP conversations

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

If you want to add a link to the game description on any of your games it's not hard. Just a simple html link.

EDIT: And we are going to get them fixed, it may just take a while.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

So Geo, once Fyron gets his empire loaded will we be able to start , or is PBW still messed up so much we can't start playing yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif (forgive the newbie question, this is my first PBW game)?

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

The server has some problems still, but nothing that would prevent the game from being played.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Sorry about not having my empire file submitted yet. I have been working on a big CS final project these Last few days, and it has eaten up more of my time than I thought it would. I'll get it made very soon here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I will upload the game tonight. Play when you get notified and enjoy.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Problem!
I did not realize this, but when generating any map using FQmod 2.2 the map contains ring worlds that can be colonized. Not just a couple, but many ring worlds. Do we want these in our map? I for one do not want them. I have created a map for each of the types offered in the FQMD 2.2, and ALL of them had ring worlds to some degree. I have but two questions:
1. Do we want them? This has to be a majority vote carries.
2. If yes, how many do we want? Lots, some, few?
3. If no, will a map generated with Standard FQM work? (Non delux generated)

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Since there's no typical stellar manipulation, leave them in as a bonus, at least one per empire, this is a star trek game after all and the long abandonded Dyson Sphere was in that one Ep. I think they will ad like a bonus or flavor and give us stuff to fight over.

EDIT: what are there atmosphere types? If there's a methane one leave it in, you don't need the others http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

The problem is, they are littered randomly throught the galaxy, and if your a non oxygen breathing race, me, then they are of lower value to you as they are all oxygen atomshperes.

I say leave them out if at all possible.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Hmmm, yeah your right I guess. I just got an E-mail from Fyron about this :

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm going to go to sleep now, I don't know what time it is wherever you are, but here it's about 1:15 AM, what ever you decide I'll find out about it in about 9-10 hours. Good night every body!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: on second thought tonights Lexx is a good one, I'll wait awhile.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Problem fixed. Thanks Fyron. The problem was on my end. I map will not contain any RW's, and the game will be uploaded shortly. Thanks all./

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Ok... there is a new Version FQM Deluxe 2.03 out now. The game should be upgraded to it, though it does not matter much as there is no SM in the game, so the readdition of the small RW comps will not matter much. But, it is best to be up to date. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Ok, I have a quick question, should I wait to upload my turn or will it work after you fix this?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Also note that we can't upgrade to FQM 2.03 yet cause the game was made with 2.02. I tried to play it with three and it said the files were differrent than the files that were used to start the game.

[ March 13, 2003, 18:48: Message edited by: Hugh Manatee ]

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

i would suggest that you download 2.03 and wait for AT to create the new game and send it out...

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I eamailed AT, he can take care of the game problem himself, he doesn't need me.

And I wouldn't bother downloading 2.03. You don't need it for this game, and 2.04 is coming soon. He found some issues in 2.03. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

FQM Deluxe 2.04 Patch Release

There is a problem in 2.03. I have made a new patch file for 2.04 to fix it:

Apply this over any full install of FQM Deluxe to upgrade it to 2.04.

I'm pretty happy we are restarting since my homeworld was the lone planet in an asteroid system. I've never seen this before. Anyone else ?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've got you beat. I had the same thing, but mine was the only planet in an asteroid system and was an irradiated planet. I had only a space port, no yard or resource facs. I hope that what ever is causing that is fixed before the restart.

Not when they are this bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Hmmm.... the Breen got some pretty sweet real estate, a Huge Methane Ice world all to myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif . It had a rock\none moon and was the only one in the system but I can explore quickly when I got 16 billion workers turning out colony ships every other turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Ahhh the pleasures of being a newbie game host.

Everyone gets the same starting planets. One Huge Oxygen Atmosphere Rock world with a Tiny Rock moon. This way every has an equal start. A challenge to be sure, but one that assures an equal start. I will never again start on a GD moon or get stuck in a system next to 5 asteroid systems and no growth potential. Never again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

You are all most excellent players and I would hope that you would understand this. BUT, if you all want, We can have other planets in our systems. I can regenerate the map tis no problem as long as everyone knows that what they get is what they get.

The game will switch the Oxygen atmosphere to your races upon generating the game. The problem is, if you have a none atmosphere race, the game might give you a nice little irradated planet. NOT GOOD. So if you have a none atmosphere breathing race, please email me so I can be sure to give you a good starting planet. (Methan tiny will work just fine for you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Everyone has an equal starting and have equal area of expansion throught the galaxy. That is, it should be a few turns before you bump into any one else.

Since a restart is in order, I have asked Geo if he could reset the game so I can upload a new game file.

Also, Fyron has discovered some errors in the 2.2 Version of his delux mod, and we will be using 2.3 instead. Sorry about this, but tis better this way.

Like I said, what fun it is to play with a newbie host.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

New Game turn upload using FQM D 2.4 (In about 20 minutes. I will send out a game message when it has completed uploading. Time now is 3:05 Pacific)

Players now have more planets in their systems, but all players start with the same planet type. Any problems, please let me know.

Again welcome to the game, and enjoy.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

GO PLAY! And remember, The Dominion is your friend!

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Do not use Huge planets as HWs! That is most certainly a bad idea, and has unintended side effects in FQM Deluxe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

One quick question <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What does it mean to "Attaching your turn (using MIME)? What's MIME?(forgive the n00blar http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif )

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

MIME is an email protocal. It has nothing to do with SE4.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Ok, the third time has got to be the charm.

Fixed the INTEL issue, now have no intel
Starting worlds are now Large rather than Huge.
Game should start on correct date
ALL players should now start with Large HW's and not on fricking moons. (insert 4 letter sware word) Map Editor.

God I forgot how much fun it was to run a game. Sorry guys, but this was the best option to keep the game as intended. If a player dropped, the AI would not understand that it was not to use the Intel and it would use it.

Are there suposed to be AI empires in the game? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif It's cool if there are I don't care, I was just wondering if you meant it to be like that....

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

There should be no AIs in the game.

Yeah there aren't anymore, I just got the "new" game. Ok THIS IS IT RIGHT?

Ok, I'm not uploading my new turn until everybody else does, I've set the same build queu 4 times, same reasearch 4 times and basically restarted the same game 4 times, Until I your all positive this is the real thing I'm holding out until you all say it's ok to go.

LOL Hugh. Tis the real deal this time. Situation Normal, All F***ed Up. LOL

So far no evil emails, and no other problems enounted thus far.

And I am truly sorry about all the problems. Tis what I get for setting up a game while on cold medicine. Who would have thought that one could get intoxicated off of priscription caugh syrup?

My head is clearing, and I think I nailed it this time. Oh wait....

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Ok I got all your E-mails and I think I know what the problem is, Fyron's mod has a feture that if a system has a lot of planets(5 i think) all the ships and bases move randomly 1 space. now Atrocities has offered to switch races with sparhawk.

Are all PBW games this interesting? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Only when I host em.

I did not concider that the mod would do this to a player, and for that I sincerely apologize.
