New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[RonD]

If you reply to the last Turn2 email sent by Alneyan, it automatically will be directed to Pasha's email.

I will write Pasha's mail plain when I send the next turn, so that there won't be any such problems.

What I did for that turn 1 was take all your order files and recreate them from scratch; you stared at the same locations because I set all starting points the second time around.

Well, I have to confirm that my motherboard appears totally dead after moving into my new house. I am hoping for a work-around with a borrowed laptop (for tomorrow when the cable is installed), but I will soon have to order me a new computer. My dead computer is about 5 years old, so I suppose it is time for a new one anyway. I do have a fairly new 19" flat screen monitor, so its not all bad!

*Sigh*

Hello All:

If we could wait a bit (hopefully just a day), I would appreciate it. I just bought a new computer (a Mac), and the patch to 2.16 is not working. Ugh!

It appears that Illwinter might have made the patch with a program (iPatch) that itself was recently updated to work with the latest version of Mac OS X ("Tiger"). The older patches did not seem to use iPatch (or so it seems from searching the forum for help).

I have sent emails to Illwinter and the folks at iPatch for help. We will see what happens.

Thanks. Sorry for the continued delay.

Sorry to hear about Panther's computer. I got this new Mac a tad earlier than intended, because my old Dell laptop died just last month.

Pasha, since I use a mac too, I may have a solution for you.

I also had trouble upgrading. Check the permissions on your dominions exe (command i to get info). Possibly the trouble is that its permissions are set to read only. Changing that to read and write might work for ya.

If not, try re-installing (which you may have already done), and checking permissions again, and then running the patch again. If none of these work, your luck will be considered worse then mine.

Panther, too bad your pretender didn't make it in the team game. So sad to see a godling die so young.

[Alneyan]

Pasha, I can keep on hosting (if my own computer doesn't bit the dust again) if your own problem cannot be easily solved.

Hi Alneyan:

Boy! Am I glad you're around!!!

Let me see what responses I have from the Support Gods when I get back from work tonight. I am getting all the emails, and if necessary, I can forward them to you.

Thanks.

King!! I will try that when I get home tonight from work. It's good to know there is a fellow Mac user around (especially that I just started using a Mac yesterday).

[PashaDawg]

Yay! King - - you're the man! It worked. Whew!

So, I will endeavor to get my act together tonight for hosting the monster game!

Thanks.

P.S. The Shrapnel Team proposed the same solution within 5 mintutes of my inquiry this morning. Wow! Great service!

What's a Mac? (joke)
