patch 2.06 out

Prinz,

I think in MP all players must agree on the mod or you will end up with default theme sent from the hosted computer.

I think very few mods will end up being used in MP by folks who want to have a real chance at winning because they will have to have passed a rough balance test.

You must use the same mods in MP. If all agrees to enable 'Alexmod - Ulm' amd disable 'Alexmod - Marignon' the host can start a game with these mods.

The hosting computer is what really matters. If you try to play a modded game with a different mod on the client computer you will have either corrupted turns or false information i believe.

Minor gripe: Pre-patch the arrow keys would auto-repeat when held down. Now they do not. This is one "fix" we could have done without methinks.

They work for me...

I seem to be having more problems with the Shrapnel web site as I can't get the patch download to show - I have had odd problems like this with it before. I've tried deleting all my offline content but all I can see on the dom2 download page is the different demo options and the SDL library.

If someone could email me the patch that would be great - my provider is not concerned with attachments.

Cheers

Keir

New 2.06 bug: You can recruit while under siege. The gold you spend is used. But the units mysteriously never show up. Where do they go? I'm looking in my recycle bin...

I was testing luck, and Pythium (only scale: misfortune 3) got attacked by knights on turn 8, who took the capitol (defense: 30, plus initial troops patrolling). Ouch! With no way to recruit, they're out of the game for good. I don't know if troop should be recruitable under siege or not, but the gold shouldn't be used if they don't show up.
