It should be harmless. I've never had a problem with retained turn files before, they usually get overwritten when you reconnect.

hmmm.....

I'm getting an error that reads like this:

myloadmalloc

't open./maps/world/tga

anyone have a link for the download of the world map?

I've seen a few Versions and I want to make sure I d/l the correct one.

I used the Torvak's World map available on Illwinter's site, and it works. Actually, I tried the original world map first and it worked as well, but I found it difficult to "read."

It looks like they've put up a new Version of Torvak's World since I downloaded my copy. If you're using Version 3, try going back to Version 2 instead and see if that helps.

A had the same problem Vynd, DLed the Torvak and it worked fine.

This is my first MP game, how long does it take between turns. Do we have a set time limit or is it open until everyone takes their turn?

To our gracious host: will you be patching to 2.12?

Norfleet · #57 June 7th, 2004, 09:14 PM

I have concerns that patching may break compatibility with existing pretenders and unnecessary alarm the chickens, so at present, there are no plans to patch anything. This may change if circumstances find it to be safe and/or harmless. I'm of the belief that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

We appear to currently be awaiting the turns of C'tis(Argitoth) and Mictlan(izaqyos).

Let's get a move on it, ladies!

The pox on the patch.
Today I tried to submit a turn. Version 2.11
naggotted. 'Your Version is too old, get a new
one'. I tried 2.12, and the server must have
crashed. I have never seen a patch that breaks
games in such an insidious way. What the hell
is wrong with a simple Version check, and FORCING
clients to have the right Version before playing?

But, Hell, I am mostly trying to avoid the blame
for crashing the server. I appologize, and I am
sure that Norfleet will just erase my stupid turn
and everything will fine.

Maybe its not a bad idea to upgrade this game to 2.12 as well. Since Mosehansen has upgraded their server most players will have their Version upgraded as well. Having different Versions can confuse people and cause more errors like this.
