thanks,

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!

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

Ok, just d/l the new patch. How will affect the mods I play? Will I have to wait for patches to the mods, or can I play them as is?

[/QB][/quote]That is correct, EXCEPT, currently the game owners do not have access to change the game Version once the game is created. You will need to post a message to the admin requests forum on PBW and one of us will switch it for you.

*Probably* they will be ok. There is nothing in the new Version I am aware of that breaks any mods. In fact he tried to be careful about that specifically. However, it's always possible that some change will have unintended consequences. It was difficult to beta test all the changes in the stock game. It's impossible to check all the mods out there and guarantee they are 100% compatible as well.

Try it, and report any problems immedietly to the modder in question so they can get a new Version released.

Grrr...

Stuck at work for another ten hours. Working fourteen hour days means no time after work for anything but sleeping. Must. See. New. Patch. In. Action.

I need, at least, to see the new data files... just to look at them...

Can't install the patch without the game, fair enough, so that means....

I'm going home early today.
