Yeah it wasn't clear to me at first either. The way it works:

The HOST (llamaserver, in this case) needs both the IMAGE and MAP files.

The PLAYERS (us) need only the IMAGE file.

In this case, the IMAGE is called PlanetRorschach_V4.rgb, which is different from the original IMAGE, called PlanetRorschach.rgb.

So as long as you have PlanetRorschach_V4.rgb, you're good to go for this game.

However, if you were to create a seperate game (like a practice game against the AI), you become the HOST, and therefore need both the IMAGE and MAP files. Both of these files can be downloaded from the PlanetRorschach thread in the Maps subforum.

--------

Our current situation is due to a mistake in the MAP file. The IMAGE file is completely unchanged from what I posted previously, so again, as long as you have PlanetRorschach_V4.rgb you're all set.

Again, sorry about the oh-**** back there, it was really a stupid mistake. Never keep 2 copies of the same file open at the same time!!!!!
