Inti,s SEV Game
 

Let's start here

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

OK... favorite settings...
Golden Eclipse Mod (wasn't that what we'd decided on? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)
Medium tech points and race points
All warp points connected
All home planets same size (if that isn't already mandatory in se5)
Warp points NOT anywhere in system (anywhere makes exploring too easy and confuses pathfinding)

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

dito, whatever. Just playing SEV online !
I would be fine with Balance mod or Golden Eclipse, just no stock SEV.
Medium tech / race points.
Warp points only at borders is mandatory.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

You guys want to run it on PBW? I can add some more mods now that I know what needs done.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'd like that... Intimidator?

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'll join. Tell me what mod to use and where to get it.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'm iiin. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif If you have a spot. Any settings are fine.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'm downloading the Golden Eclipse mod to PBW now, but man 100+ MB? Probably I don't need all the images, but I haven't done any testing in that area so for this case I'm going to put the full version on there. Will be tommrow before I have it setup though. Big file. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Golden Eclipse download from my Filefront account *More Bandwith*

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Okay guys, don't be afraid...... I'm still onto it.
But could't get acces to PBW today, will try it again tommorow.

For now :

1 good planet
Golden Eclipse mod
5000 racial points
Medium tech points
All warp points connected

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Is it still possible to join in? If yes: I'm considering if I should, but I've a question first: How fast do you want this game to go? One turn per day, per two days (etc)? I won't be able to do more than one turn in 48 hours, so if you want to go faster than that...

My two cents regarding setup:

1) Galaxy size depending on number of players: <10 medium, >=10 large

2) Galaxy type: I'd prefer spiral arm, but that's just me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

3) Tech costs: personally I'd prefer high, but you seem prefer medium, I'm fine with that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'm in. I'd prefer 48 hour turns and no tech trading. Other than that, anything is fine.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Were you going to set up the game on PBW?

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

i agree with 48 hours / t and no tech trading.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

48 hours is also okay with me !!

And yes Ed, I wanna give PBW a try !!?? (everybody agreed, or are there still some problems with PBW !!??)

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Oh , and Vezra, please join .....

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Let's try PBW. As long as the host (or someone) saves backups of the turns, the worst thing that could happen is that we have to revert to manual turns.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Wow i realized i havent used PBW even once in the last year. It seems pbw.cc is not the right one anymore ?!

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

NOT USSING PBW for over an year............. go shame yourself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


I created the game on PBW (SEV ecliptic universe), so please join and let me know what you think of the settings I planned sofar.(all is open for discussion)

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Honestly, what is pbw`s url ?!

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

http://seiv.pbw.cc/graphic/index.jsp

Is the address I always use. I think I came across another one, just pbw.cc, a few days ago but it's no longer working. If I try to remember it I tend to put se4 mistakenly, perhaps you make the same mistake.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Now that we are going to test PBW, how do we swap shipsets if we make our own?. At this stage I know there are practically no new shipsets but what about using our own flags or portraits?. My Terran AuCol will use the terran ships but I'd like to have my own flag or portrait.

...and something I just thought of. A player could customise his ships slightly by changing the skins, perhaps changing the hue or brightness. You know, if perhaps someone else wants to use the Terran ships.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif sorry, thought you we're joking http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

pbw.cc should work or www.pbw.cc. The DNS might have been having trouble resolving it for some reason when you tried it. It seems to work right now. seiv.pbw.cc works as well.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

thanks, now it indeed works !

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so that sev.pbw.cc would get you to the server as well. I thought it was a simple matter of setting up virtual names in the apache config files. But that doesn't seem to work. It maybe is something I have to register with the DNS provider. I'm researching it.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

So 5000 race points... how many tech points? Or is that the "tech level: low" setting?

edit: my shipset is the UkraTal, my flag is the one with the blue triangular spiral pointy side down, and my race portrait is the blue guy in the red robe.

edit 2: Emotionless is awful cheap considering you can take all the happiness penalties! Perhaps doing so should be considered cheating? (As is taking any of the morale penalties - morale does nothing! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Indeed, you qare right Ed, We must inform each other about the pictures we choose, didn't think of that but is needed.

So to everybody, shoot !! first in is first choice...


For me :

Shipset: Abbidon
Race : XiChung (Ant like creatures)
Flag : Red flag with red something in the middle with some red spheres on it ??!!?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (But don't bother , my flag will be the one which you can see above most of the planets at the end of the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I'm usin straight up Norak. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Logo: far left, fourth one down
Ship style: far left, third one down
Portrait: 2nd from last on right, third one down

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Vezra, are you still wanna play......... if so please join on PBW (http://seiv.pbw.cc/graphic/index.jsp) and look for the game : SEV ecliptic Universe

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Hm i will take

Race Pick: bottom, #3 from right (Red Cobra from Front)
Ship: bottom, #1 (left to the insects)
Logo: Bottom #1

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Ok, I've just joined http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

After some quick testing I discovered two bugs which should be corrected before we start (at least the first one):

1) Ship mounts: you can use massive mount on a frigate. In the general desription it's stated that this mount is for 1500kt and up, but in fact it's from 100kt up.

2) The component "Operations Center" (space based intelligence center) is in the tech area Applied Reasearch (instead of Intelligence).

Another potential problem I found is in DamagaTypes.txt: "Normal Matter" lists only one shield type (Molcular Shielding), the other two (energy and hybrid) list four (normal, molecular, energy and phased). I don't know if this will work as intended?

Vezzra

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

If a shield type isn't listed, a weapon does normal damage to it.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Vezzra , did you downloaded the latest fix for the eclipse mod, if not please check it out !!

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Did PBW get that fix?

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

After some trouble I managed to get v1.0 Beta. Is that up to date? probably not if it's just 1.0.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Well, AFAIK there have been two fixes out until now, I applied both of them before my tests...

Vezzra

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Shouldnt Kevin give this thread a visit http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

So now I've joined and uploaded my empire file.

I took:

Logo: 2nd row, first column
Shipset: 4th row, 1st column (Sithrak)
Race Pic: 3rd row, 1st column

Unfortunately a first problem arises in me being absent from Thursday to Sunday. That will hurt, because with 48 hour turns I will miss one or two of the very first turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

That is, unless you wait until Saturday to start the game (then I shall be able to du my turn in time) or put the game on ALPU. Which I would appreciate very much, but of course I'll understand if you do not want to wait any longer.

In this case I think I would have to withdraw, because the first turns are crucial (furthermore, IIRC the AI has not been done for this mod yet, so having the AI doing turns if someone misses the deadline will be devastating anyway).

Sorry for raising that right at the start... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Vezzra

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

I am including the pictures for my race, along with links to show them. I made up my race but was unable to try it as the game got stuck making the galaxy when I tried to start a game. Don't know exactly the reason though I can start a normal game.

I am using the stock Terran ships

You could just copy these pictures into an empire folder called AuCol, but keep in mind they are jpgs not bmps. bmps are in the atatched folder though.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

To all : make sure you have the latest fix from Kevin (just posted on his thread)

I will start the game after the latest emp-file.....

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Make sure PBW has the fix! That's the important part; if PBW doesn't have it the turns will be run without it..

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Bump !!

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Regarding your mail. I dont think ground combat will be off any importance until midgame, but since we are waiting some days for vezzra anyway... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I dont mind waiting, or starting once he is back.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Was thinking the same...........
But let's wait for the rest ......

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Why not just start the game and set it to ALPU? It just seems like we're waiting for the sake of waiting right now.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Not true, we we're waiting for more information and opinions on that possible PBW/SEV-groundcombat bug.

But don't be afraid will start game, as planned, and put it on ALPU .....

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

The Game has started, keep me informed if any problem occurs !!

found small mod related bug myself, but game is still playable : my homeplanets picture is an ringworld but after selecting my planet I got an picture of an non-ring rockworld.........will mail it ot K. also..........

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

That's funny because it didn't register at the time but as soon as I read you say it I thought "hang on. My homeworld had rings around it". I just checked, yep the planet portrait is a large rock world (mostly ocean with a few islands actually) but on the map it looks like Saturn.

Re: Inti,s SEV Game
 

Hm. Whenever i try to load the .gam file i get an error "cant load savegame".

Im using 1.13, anything wrong with that ?
