Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

Can you give me the URL for the Map? From dominions-2.org, I can only download Faerun_small.map and Faerun_large.map ... which one is Faerun.map ?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

http://www.nightmare-industry.de/faerun.rar


I do not know whcih version is used by mosehansen, just unrar this files in the mapsfolder and it works fine.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

Sure ? This files contains cradle.map, not Faerun.map ...

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

I'll give R'lyeh a try.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

Juhu, nice to have you onboard!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

If memory serves, the Mosehansen Faerun is the oldest version. Thus, you'll need a faerun.tga for the map graphics; you can rename the superior faerun_large.tga and it works fine, I seem to recall. (Although a few neighbor connections mightn't be right, but that's what the map filter is for...)

As for the map file, you'll only need a simulacrum; the map file on the client isn't used, I think, so if it asks for one just rename some file to faerun.map and it should work. If you want to look and see what provinces have what preplaced things, can't help there. Most are probably the same as in the newer version, but there are a lot of preplaced forts which really make the map unfun, in my opinion. Edi probably has the older versions archived (seeing how he's apparently got a thing for keeping things in good order, which is great! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif), so if you really need 'em, PM him!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

The client won't check for any .map file whatsoever, so just put the .tga file in and it will be fine. The creator of the game does need the .map file, of course.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

I stand corrected! (Was thinking of mods or something... Or do you need the right file for those?)

Anyway, if you're shooting for ten players, won't it unbalance things if you've got all of Ulm, Ermor and Pan in? I mean, they all start practically next to each other. (And Man is rather close to Ermor, too.) So it's possible that either Marignon or Jotunheim or any of the unclaimed Eastern continent nations start without any close neighbors at all. Dunno how such unbalancedness in the indy distribution could be corrected, except by deciding the nations that won't be in beforehand, though, and that obviously isn't feasible...

Well, good luck to all in any case!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

I really would like to test the Faerun.map file. Isn't there are anybody out there who has it and who is willing to attach it to his/her/its post? Otherwise I will page Edi to see if I can get it from him.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

You can download it from the adress above, it is called in menue " a map with 221 provinces"(for some reason)

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

*sigh* when I read the map file, I can see the following:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
#dom2title A map with 221 provinces.
#imagefile cradle.tga
#domversion 175
#description "CRADLE OF DOMINION
...
</pre><hr />

and cradle.tga look helluva lot different from the faerun maps in faerun_small and faerun_large ...

See http://www.fams.de/maps.png

Sorry - but I am a bit confused. Which map are we playing now.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

It is the right one, it is *really* a cool map!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

Ok - I surrender trying to understand _which_ is the right map. I will just upload my pretender god and that is it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif That the best you can do :-p

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- Faerun- many Europ
 

Soooo,

We should sent in all our final versions of the pretender, i think we will start soon!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Oki, i have restarted the server, Hackerpschor now is able to connect.

Any last words?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Sorry for all thatn confusion, the Port is know 2213 and Hackerpschor will play Atlantis.

So as soon as you have uploaded your pretenders i will start the game.

AND do NOT hit Start game as Robmum did twice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Uploaded my pretender to 2214 ... it is a very unusual pretender for Man, but I hope that it will be fun to play http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

R'lyeh is uploaded

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

I realize it's the 11th hour, but may i join as Pythium?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Though I should not speak for Griffin: sure, go ahead and upload you pretender. The map is rather large and we had been aiming for 10 people anyway.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Yes , you can i would have started now, but that few hours i think wie can wait!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

I have uploaded.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Mhm, i have problems with the map, he says that he do not find the faerun.map

Have anyone an idea what is the right file?

O

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Faerun.map, and not .tga? And when does the game say that?

Still, I guess it simply means you do not have the appropriate Faerun.map in your maps directory. Either the .map and the .tga do not match (in which case, you should rename something, if you have a Faerun_small.tga and a Faerun.map, or the other way around), or you didn't download any .map file to go with Faerun.

This will be a bit more annoying, of course, as you may need to create your own .map file. I have four different .map files for the small Faerun, and Mosehansen Faerun may use another one, and... Anyway, what sort of .map did you want? No special provinces? The mundane Faerun, with all its special provinces? Something else altogether?

The .map files I have myself for Faerun are those ones: http://www.dominions-2.org/downloads...l_mapfiles.rar

Note that those files call for a Faerun_small.tga file, and not Faerun.tga, so some renaming may be needed.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

I think you should restart the thing!

Based on your description, you're assuming you're playing on a map called Cradle of Dominion (a map with 221 provinces), yet the server is primed for a game on a map called Faerun (a map with over 400 provinces and preset starting sites).

If you intend to play on Faerun: Mose still uses the first version of the Faerun map, as I tried to explain earlier; you'd be better off using the Faerun_large.tga, renamed into Faerun.tga than the small one, since the small one has different borders I think. (You know, I never looked at the smaller one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Hey, would this validate what I was saying earlier about that simulacrum .map-file? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Oki,

Thank you for your help, it was really CREADLE i meant!

And to all the others thank yoiu for your patience, please

UPLOAD your pretnders again.

All other are still welcome to join if they leave a note here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Hehe - it is not like I had not tried to get this right at the beginning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif But I do not care, I like Cradle

Pretender uploaded and waiting for the start of the game.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Coppedatfatz,

Game has started and this timei have a good feeeling http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And also welcome Windwalker as marigion onboard!

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan.- ReUpload
 

Can you update the initial post with a player overview, please?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

As you may have noticed, i am playing Vanheim instead of Pythium. (i like Van, but they have a crappy start position on Faerun)

What is indy strength?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Pangae: Griffin
Atlantis: Hackerpschor
Emor: Kayday
Jotunheim: Robmum
Vanheim :Tyrant
Man: Bluebird
R'lyeh: Catquiet
Marignon: Windwalker

The indies are 6.

*chofs*

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Wonderful. What a start. Feebled mind for my pretender in the second round. Lost my army to the indies twice.

*sigh*

Well - we will see if I can catch up.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Jotunheim has also lost his pretender in round 6 i think. I have also allready lost so many battles here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Thats hard.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Hall of Fame is full of http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/skull.gifdeathhttp://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/skull.gif! And all this probably solely against independents http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif!
Anyway I think, that Ermor haven't played for like last 3 turns. Not that he had to in current state (army is growing anyway), but if he is out, shouldn't we get replacement?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

yes, i have alrready eMailed him, i think i will find a replacement soon.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Looks like it is good that I have an immortal pretender.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Ok, got him, he took his turn.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

*sigh* And why didn't he just take two turns in a row?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Oki, i have found a sub for emor, so i do not hope that he will stale so soon again.

BTW stale, what about you, Catquiet, are you still onboard?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Looks like we have lost him.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Hello from sunny Florida. Sorry about the stale turns, I didn't expect the hurricane to hit so hard. I'm currently running on generator power and I'm not sure if I will be able to do a turn every 24 hours, can we slow the game down for a while?

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Okidoki, what time sccedule would bei fine to you? I think i will turn it to 96 h now(for the beginning)

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

Oha - thats the reason. You think a tiny hurricane is a valid excuse for stale turns? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Hope you survived without major damages. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_USA.gif[/img]

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

I lost several trees and one of my rain gutters, other than that the house is fine. 96 hours sounds good, hopefully I'll be able to play once a day. It depends on whether or not I can find gasoline for the generator.

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

I had generator power yesterday, but the phonelines went dead http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Metzel_and_Pain - Mosehan -2 things
 

What is Tyrant's Problem now? Vanheim is lagging behind ... (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/skull.gif [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img])

Well - it is a slow but interesting game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Perhaps I am just excited.
