[problem solved!] the Ogre Kingdoms mod has suddenly collapsed in my game--any ideas?
 

BandarLover is playing as Ogre Kingdoms (version 0.7) in the LlamaServer game Redwich. He reports:

"Possible bug? My Ogre Butchers no longer have their national blood battle spells available to cast. And my gem/slave producing capital sites are all blank. And my sacreds are missing, along with my recruitable giant. Thoughts?"

Can you help??

(We are using Skavenblight, Arga Dis, and CBM 1.5. I understood Gregstrom's research to indicate that there was no conflict amongst these mods.)

Well, if the game started out fine (and since it's turn 26, I guess it did) then I doubt it's a mod conflict. The first obvious question I can think of is: Has Bandarlover installed v0.8 recently?

Sounds like he has. The spells should reappear next turn iirc.

The sites he's lost for good as long as you're using 0.8 - so no sacreds, no giant.

Reading the game thread confirms this - he reinstalled 0.7 and all was well again.

I think including a version number in the #modname entry might prevent this problem, btw.

Hooray, thanks!

Would it? Seems more like it would either do nothing or make the problem even worse.

It does nothing. For some reason I thought Dom3 handled mods according to their #modname rather than filename. Oops.

Changing the filename of the .dm file with each release would work, though.

Could do. It's not the norm, but I guess the only reason why not is that sometimes updates can be applied fine without wrecking a game - in fact you potentially fix problems. Also it might get a bit confusing.

I guess not, but CBM uses it to good effect :D
