King Of The Hill V
 

New thread for KOTH - SEV

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

The PBW King of the Hill league (K.O.T.H.) is an open league available to all Space Empire V players. The goal is to provide an ongoing arena for players to compete against one another and test their skills. It is strictly for fun and there is no fee to join and no prizes will be awarded.

To join the PBW King of the hill league, send an email to the league administrator, parabolize at parabolize@gmail.com

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Looks pretty good Parabolize.
If you could please setup a game for Se5 and myself, we might start things rolling, pretty please. :-)
I'm willing for whatever settings se5a is, since I'm still playing my first Balanced game, and my first simultaneous game and am still working out what works and doesn't.
As mentioned to se5a however, it might be a slow game as opposed to other Koth games.
Thanks
Baron Grazic

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

I will put up the game once kwok's balance mod 1.00 is on pbw. Then I will go about putting the koth page on se.net and turning my first post in this thread into something informative. Then I will try and gather more people.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Since the Balance Mod 1.00 breaks savegames, that'll have to wait a few days Parabolize. I've got a .99 game going that's in its final stages.

Or Geo could use a different folder name for 1.00..

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Nice... I think I'll join in the fun! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

could do it PBFTP, though we would need a site to upload and download to.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

did you get your ftp server running in the end para?

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Technically it is running its just blocked by the modem. The modem is a Accton/msn dsl 1000 with V1.00.026e firmware. I need to open ports 21, 5000-5100 but I can't until I update the firmware. Dslreports says to go to https://signin.msn.com but that didn't work when the site was up let alone now that its down. I probably need to get in contact with some msn support.

BTW what is the latest version of PBFTP.py? I am having a lot of trouble with 0.050. The first thing is the group permissions which I think I fixed with ftp.sendcmd('site chmod 660 '+upfile) not sure if thats the best way. Second its not putting anything in the plr zip (I'm guessing that I did something wrong but I can't see what.)

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

0.120b is the latest, but I'v not had a chance to see if that works properly yet.
where did you get 0.050? the latest version on se5.com is 0.111b

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

ok we should be able to PBW this now.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Thanks for setting this up Parabolize.
I'm using a default ship set, the Drushocka I think, with AyersRock_Flag_Set that MarkSheppard created. Problems with PBW?
se5a - I'm working over the Xmas-New Year period, but if its quiet I should be able to get some turns done at work. Will you be around?
Baron Grazic

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

We are up and running now. Should have a first turn shortly.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Baron - best bet is to try catch me in the IRC channel.
I'm probibly going away for the new years weekend, but other than that, I've not alot planned.
other than random spur of the moment things with frends, such as go to the beach, it's summer here in NZ now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Dam, the first turn failed. Sorry if it was my flag set, but was hoping it would be fine.
Don't talk to me about Summer neighbour, the over-night low here is Australia was 30 degrees Celsuis http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif (For Americians = 86 F)

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

it's just where you installed the flagset that messed things up. but I think geo has goten things working now. it's just wating for you to do your turn to see if it really works.

Ohh you're austrailian! goodoh, then yea, you know it's summer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
where abouts in aust are you?

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Well that is privileged information, but I moved to get away from the traffic of the Olympics but the Commonwealth games wasn't too bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

se5a via Grazic Koth Update
2401.3 - Empires meet almost on the warp point in the southern system of Osshod. A Grazic Scout ship verses 2 se5a Colony ships.
This could be a key battle area with some good planets for us both.
To build the suspense the PBW server failed processing the turn, probably because of the length of the battle as the colony ships run with the Scout ship firing missiles in chase.
Se5a has been in first place most of this short game, but with no northern boarder yet, anything can happen...
Baron Grazic

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

should be interesting...
I should have set my strat for colony ships to ram maybe.
maybe I might replay my turn.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Turn still failing. And unfortunatly because of the 1.20 bug making it impossible to run PBEM turns from within the game I can't see if it's generating errors or just taking a long time to run. I'm going to email this game turn to Aaron and see if he can make heads of tails of it.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

k thanks geo.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Where've you gone? grrr.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Me???
Went down to the beach for New Years and didn't once turn on a PC for 3 days.
But I'm back as you know and as long as the turns keep processing I'll be happy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Weird - I can't seem to modify posts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Looks like Parabolize left both Ruins & Intelligence on.
Gentleman's word that we both won't use Intelligence?
Baron Grazic

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

the beach eh? goodoh.

Ruins are on? odd.
I was not aware that intel was meant to be off?

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

I turned off ruins when I created the game for sure so I must have forgotten when creating the map.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

oh true...

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Just reread the KOTH rules and no mention of Intel. Oops I was sure that it was off.
I guess I know what that latest Huge Breathable planet is good for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

KOTH page updated.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Put me on this hill, parabolize.

May rejoin the SEIV hill as well, but I'm not sure how many games I have time for yet. (and switching between the game's UI drives me nuts).

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

That was quick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Gusset: I smell..rematch! I propose KOTH defaults for this one.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

KOTH defaults sounds good. I've uploaded empire.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

KOTH page update #2.

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

Gusset has surrendered. Apparently there was a problem where his weapons platforms would disappear for some reason. Anyone else seen that bug?

Re: King Of The Hill V
 

KOTH page update #3.
