Re: Dramatica - A Very Dramatic Game. Send in Pretenders
 

So enabled dwarf mod 0.8 and the CBM 1.6 on my game and then made a pretender for the dwarf nation.

When I sent it in I got this:

I received a pretender file from you, but unfortunately your pretender file is for Invalid Age! Age Unexpected Nation, while the game 'Dramatica' is set in the Middle Age. Please try again with a pretender for the Middle Age.

ideas?

Not much. You sure you didn't have any extra mods enabled? Like singleage mod, for example. Did you use a national pretender (though it shouldn't matter, but still)?

If those two aren't the problem, I'll contact Llamabeast.

No I used only CBM 1.6 complete and Dwarfs 0.8

I used a regular pretender (not nation-specific)

When I create the pretender I select "middle age" but the file doesn't seem to understand that it is for MA

Themiskyra is in at last.

Alrighty, I'm doing some testing to figure this bug out. However, the current freeze-up of the llamaserver has proved.. annoying. However, after a lot of code studying, I'm quite convinced that problem is in llamaserver, not in the mod itself. I found absolutely 0 reasons on why Themiskyra and Skaven should work, but Dwarfs not.

Sorry for the delay everyone. I must be cursed or something, every game I start has some mysterious modding bug. *shrug* Well, live and learn.

i was trying to do some troubleshooting too but, like you said, llamaserver appears to be frozen. I sent a turn in another game 16 hours ago which worked fine but the turns i sent 2 hours ago have not been acknowledged. Nor has my request to start a test game to upload my dwarf pretender to.

Okay, so, I originally did not download the extra race mods thinking I could build my god with just the CB mod.

Today I downloaded the skaven,dwarfs and themiskrya mods and had them enabled. I went to go fiddle around with pretender builds to kill time.

When i have those 3 races enabled, my pretender choices change. Under just the cbm, I have less choices for chassis.

With all 4 mods enabled I gained the monolith and the alchemist. Is it possible other things have changed? Are these mod nations interfering with other nations? Should I re-make and re-send a pretender?

So yeah, I was unable to solve the issue. The plan is to wait for llamabeast to respond to my PM. He's been quite busy lately, so I don't know if he's able to fix the issue.

Well, if we haven't heard of him by wednesday, Sciencepro can choose some other nation (preferrably vanilla) and we continue on with the game.

Re: Dramatica - A Very Dramatic Game. Send in Pretenders
 

Oh, you apparently found a minor bug in the dwarf mod (The dwarfs get a Monolith and Alchemist as additional pretender choices, but apprently they have crept up to be available for all nations). I'll make a quick fix. However, this bug shouldn't be connected to our current bug with the llamaserver. *shrug*, but who knows. I'll fix the bug and upload the fixed version.

Re: Dramatica - A Very Dramatic Game. Send in Pretenders
 

Holy s'it! I figured it out. The bug was because of the nation number, which made the server think that it was a different nation mod entirely. I tested it and was able to send out a pretender for Dwarfs fine.

However, I had to make a new .dm file in order to change the nation number. It is downloadable in this post.

Also it is possible that someone made a pretender based on the accidentally available Monolith and Alchemist made available by the dwarf mod. If someone has used a Master Alchemist or Monolith as a pretender, it's very recommendable to remake and resend the pretender.
