ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2

[starwarsluke]

I am having a problem downloading saved games. Every time I tried to a new web browser opened and the saved game was not downloaded. Could you please tell me if there is something I can do to get past this error.

Hello,

i am not sure what you mean, but if you want to download DOM2 Savegames from played DOM2 Ladder games, here is the link to the download site :

--> DOM2 Ladder Games Saves

KLICK on the RED COLORED LINK to download the game. A popup will appear...

I am sorry for not explaining better. I am using a Mac Os X computer and when I tried to download the saved games a new window opened showing a bunch of numbers and letters and the game did not get downloaded.

Have you registered? You have to go to www.the-battlefield.com and register before the save-game link will work.

[starwarsluke]

Yes I have registered.

I think your browser may not recognize this as a file to be downloaded, rather than displayed. Try holding the mouse button down (that's how it's done in MacOS, IIRC), until the menu appears, then save-link-as. Unless the battlefield uses some kind of weird link crap that confuses even that. Then you're just kinda hosed. It's likely that your browser is simply unable to identify what a .trn or .2h file is.

Thank you all for the help. Norfleet your suggestion seems to have worked. The computer downloaded 7caelum.trn when I downloaded the caelum saved game. The computer does not recognize it unsuprisingly. Now to ask yet another question. What do I do to view the saved game?

i think renaming it to just caelum.trn is enough .
and you have to save it in the correct dominionssavegame folder .

e.g. if the participating game is called :
ylskdjvlyödfjk
then this subfolder should be found in the dominion2 folder .
simply copy your turn in that subfolder and name it caelum.trn

should be enough to get it work.

edit : if there occurs a special OS problem still i can't help you because i only have win xp

So the .trn file is not the only thing required to see the saved game?
