Default Re: FreshMeat - new thread, and game started!

I sent this to llamaserver also but am somewhat at a loss...I have played on a dedicated server (like WOW, Battlenet, ect) and TCP/IP but never PBEM.

I got turn 2 and put it in my file that has all the other files to get the game started (TRN, first turn ect) but now I am not sure what to do.

I loaded the game and tried to play the save to see if just putting turn 2 in there would update it but it doesn't.

Sorry I am really new at this but once this turn is done and I get it sent in I should be smooth for the rest of my game (I should last at least 3 weeks...I hope)
I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll just state the basics. If you already know all this, and it doesn't help, then I apologize. Under saved games you should have a FreshMeat folder which the turn file should be placed in. AFAIK, the turn file should be all you need to open up your turn. Select the game to play within Dom3. Take your turn and then save and quit.

Saving the game will generate a file with the extension 2h. You Email this to the server with "FreshMeat" as the subject line. If you don't have the correct map, that might be a problem. Earlier versions of Dom3 came with an earlier version of the cradle map which had some flaws. You have 3.17 installed, right?
