ATTN: All players for "P&N on PBW, take 2"
 

Didn't you all want to play as a pirate against other people!!! Here's your chance! This game will be starting soon (possibly on 9-30-01!), but I'm willing to give any Last minute joiners a couple of days to set up their emp files. Heck, half the people that joined a week ago are still working on their emp files http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

You should look into the Version: P&N2.3c has been uploaded to PBW.

REALLY???????


Cooolness!

Yea, it will definately run 2.3c.

Or maybe not.... How do I change the game from 2.3 to 2.3c???

P&N Version 2.3c has been uploaded to the file library section on PBW. All that means is you can download it there. Before you can have PBW run turns using that Version it actually has to be installed on the server and set up so you can select it as a game Version. At this time the latest Version of P&N that has been installed is 2.3.

You can still use PBW for a P&N 2.3c game, but you have to run the turns offline. You can use the server to collect and distribute the turns for you though.

SJ, If I upgrade the P&N on PBW to 2.3c, will that cause problems with anyone running games using Version 2.3? For that matter is anyone running games on PBW using Version 2.3? If the second answer is no, then I guess the first question is moot.

Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.3c will not kill savegames. It will change the properties of some components, such as the Heavy Shield Generators, but nothing too drastic.

As far as I know, there are no P&N games actually started. (Perhaps the PBW games list could use a Mod Used entry)

Yeah, I've been pushing for that too. Along with some other info like number of players, time limit, etc. Hopefully that will get implemented at some point. Unfortunatly the guy who handles that stuff doesn't have any more free time than I do. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif

I'm not sure, but I think mine is the only P&N game on PBW, and it hasn't started yet. I think I'm only going to get 5 players, tho.

Re: ATTN: All players for "P&N on PBW, take 2"
 

Ok, I updated the PBW server now. It's running P&N Version 2.3c.

As always, let me know if you have any problems.
