Fools Lament II - Ended - Mictlan wins!!!

[baboune]

did you set the server to 48h QH? We still have 17 hours to play turn 5! and it has been more than 24 hours...

[anatoli11]

I think it was because the server/game was restarted.

Can you set C'tis to AI as they have staled the Last 4 turns...

[rex_havok]

question?
i am new and i'm sure everyone else knows the answer, but if everyone is done early, do we run the turn early?
(i would love faster early turns)
question? if C,tis becomes AI and someone later would like to play them is it possible?

and Lastly i tried the hotlink to start game but the
"C:\games\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345 --nonationsel
(and i did ajust it for my directory location)
did not work w/ xp -alternatives?

[Soapyfrog]

Ctis is now AI... sorry Daesthai!

[Soapyfrog]

I use

--tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345

And that works for me.

If everyone finsihes their turn the game will host.

I dont think we can make Ctis human again... at least game says its irreversible..

I can't seem to get the shortcut working either. This is the latest variation I've tried:

"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345"

can someone point out the error of my ways?

Is that an exact quote? If so then you need tomove that " after 2345 to be after dom2.exe

short explanation
I know it doesnt seem logical but its true. You are only quoting up to the exe

longer explanation
The only reason Win wants the quotes at all is because the blanks in the path to the exe mess it up. So it only wants the to clarify the exe call, after that its back to business as usual. Another way to do it without the confusing quotes would be...
C:\Progra~1\domini~1\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr soapyfrog.no-ip.info --port 2345
which isnt bad to say in instructions since it works for both new Wins and old Wins. Its the old Win98 way of saying "6 letters of a directory name that is too long so the ~1 or ~2 is saying grab the first (or second one) that matches it"

[Bluebird]

Spaces in filenames are a really stupid idea - and I think naming a major application directory with a space is even worse. I would write a really ugly letter to the person who decided this if I just

• would know his address.
• would use Microsoft Windows.

Thanks Gandalf, that did it. Also, thanks for the explanation on the quotes. They made no sense to me.
