Weird PBW problem
OK, I'm hosting this game "Ecliptic Plane" using the Eclipse Mod at PBW, and the last turn wouldn't prcess. So I went and downloaded the latest .plr files and tried to process it myself... well lo and behold, I get a strategic combat window! I suspect I may just have forgot to set an option such as "players on different computers", but if I did, doesn't that mean I'd have to start the game over? Or is there anything I can do to rectify the situation?

Re: Weird PBW problem
Yeah, restart. It sounds like you changed the "Simultaneous Games Show Strategic Combat" line in settings.txt. If you had forgot to set the game up as players on different computers you wouldn't have gotten as far as turn 8.

Re: Weird PBW problem
I didn't touch the settings.txt... Kevin???  
But thanks for letting me know what it is... 
edit: wait, I fixed it just by fixing the settings.txt locally and re-running the turn on my machine! I guess that particular field isn't checked for savegame compatibility... We're back in business, if you could just toggle that field for me on the PBW server, Geo? Thanks!

Re: Weird PBW problem
Ok, mod is fixed on the server. You should make sure that future versions of the mod have that setting turned off.
