GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!

Actually what I did was worse. I misread his post and was looking at the Malfador main site.

Old savegames do not load so maybe a new thread of transitioning to the new Version would be worthwile?

Savegames are convertable to the new Version. The savegames will work, but as with any time you change data files, a turn will have to be run as host first before the players can open the turn using the new Version.

Ok, so, to transition to the new Version, all the players need to send in their turns with the old patch, install the new patch, host installs new patch, then downloads files, runs turn manually on their machine, then uploads files to PBW and voila new patched turn is sent out...?

thanks,

For some reason I had to re-install in order to get the patch to work.

I got an error saying my Version was invalid...most odd!

That would work, yes. Although it is actually uneccesary for the host to download and run the turn offline. They can have us change the Version of their game on PBW (once we get the new Version setup) and it will be run on the server once the players upload their .plr files generated with the old Version.

I'm in the same boat as Kwok; now I will not get any work done.

But great job on the intro screen David! The EEE are a evil force I tell you!

AMF · #**270** February 25th, 2004, 04:37 PM

OK, just to confirm what I think you said:

I set the PBW game to NEW verison, Players send in OLD Version turns, then the turns they GET BACK will be NEW Version turns, so they will have to upgrade to NEW Version before they can open them? Izzat correct?

Thanks, sorry for pestering, just want to make sure I get this correct...(the logistics of figuring out and keeping straight which games are which Version is not something I am looking forward to..)

thanks again,

Alarik
