The admin has removed it. mockingbird, you should be able to send in your pretender now.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

I have received my turn and loaded it with no problem. However, when I try and play it I get a german sounding name (nagot nik Fel...sorry too lazy to go back and write down the correct error), and says a need the map Shawriver_som.tga.

Now I have D/L the map on the fist page here and EVERY Shawriver map I could find. If someone would be kind enough to post the right map I will have my turn in quickly.

Thanks:confused:

"Något gick fel" is swedish and means "something went wrong", and it's the general error alert of dom3.

Regarding the map. There is nothing wrong with your .tga file except that it has the wrong name. You need to rename it exactly: Shahrivar_Som.tga

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

OK, remembering that I am not the most astute person when it comes to computers, I THINK I know what a TGA file is (or at least have seen it when D/L maps), but I have never (in my short career on here) had to CHANGE anything.

So I ask this, Do I go in and change the TGA on the map I got from the link on the first page (remember, I have D/L like 4 maps called Shawriver so this is important to tell me exactly which map to change)?

If so, is this the 'balanced map with preset starting positions?

Sorry if I seem a little afraid to touch anything, but it has been my expieriance that I tend to change things for the worse.

Ok I am on my way home and will try that and will respond from my Comp.

Thanks for trying to help me and be patiant as I will try anything you ask.:eek:

In your \dominions3\maps\ folder should be a file called Shahrivar Som.tga (and also one or more files called Shahrivar Som.map or something like that, but you don't need to touch them.) Make a copy of that file, and change the name of the copy to Shahrivar_Som.tga

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

OK, I am home and went in and changed the tga file (ONLY) on the map file called Sharivar Som.tga TO Shariver_Som.tga and it did not work.

Now, remember I have 4 different Shahrivar maps (2 from sombre and another one called balanced along with the one I just changed).

It did not work, but I also did not change any other file except the tga file.

Any suggestions?

(Sorry guys about the GrudgeBringer thing agian, I was making sure my folks didn't have toooo much food in the fridge and just jumped on his comp. Will try and watch it in the future:doh:

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

Last time I had this error I hadn't updated Dominions to the right version (3.24). You've got the CBM mod installed and active, right? Beyond that I don't know.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

CBM 1.6 is installed and activated.

However, where do I look to see if I have 3.24 installed?

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

Hello!

I had the same problem that Ragnar, and the solution was renaming the map. Try that.

Re: Waspworld (NEWBIE GAME), uploading pretenders
 

Rename the Map to what? I did rename the tga part so what other part do I need to rename and what name should I use?

With your guys help I am getting somewhere!!:up:
