Default Re: PBW supports v1.20

I thought we might be able to narrow it down a bit since we know that:
A) it only happens if there is combat.
B) it works fine for parabolize when he proseses it.
C) parabolize and ekolis game does not have any problems.
D) Parabolize and ekolis are using stock shipsets, flags, and portrates.
E) BG and I are not using stock shipsets flags and portrates.

Therefore I'm assuming that it's a problem with either the Ngrath shipset, or the ayrs rock flag.
since we've fixed the ayrs rock flagset it could be the Ngrath shipset...

I emailed the turn file to Aaron a while back. I didn't realize at first this was the same game. I didn't know you got it working running the turns offline. When I tried to run the turns offline back when it originally failed I couldn't get it to process.

If the problem is the Ayers Rock shipset it's probably the fact that Baron had the flags in the wrong folder when he setup his empire. I've reported that issue to Malfador already as well. I don't know what that would have to do with combat, but as I said I can't get any error messages. I can't exactly go willy nilly sticking files in different folders until I hit the right combination to make the game run.

If it's a problem waiting for the next patch you could restart the game using a different shipset or trying it with the Ayers Rock shipset in the proper folders when he creates his empire.

it runs fine on PBW when there is no combat. and I think you got the ayrs rock files in the right place a while back?

Yes, I've fixed my Empire file for the next game I play.

The replays of the battles seem fine even though I do not have the Ngrath Ship set installed. Could that be the problem that PBW does not have this shipset? For myself I just used the Drushocka ship set, in the default location.

The problem of not all the Ships moving that we just discovered is worrying me however. I emailed the 2 turn files to Parabolise for before and after it happened.

Geo, did you install the ngrath shipset on pbw at all?

if not I'm prety sure that's what has been causeing it not to work during combat.

I've noticed that when PBW prosesses the turn I don't get any of the news log pictures for any of the Ngrath shipsets (new ship constructed, new shipsize availible etc. etc.
however, when parabolize prossesses the turn, these pictures DO show up.
I think the game is dead now for some unknown other reason we can't get it to prosess online or off. but I'd like to confirm this picture thing before I alert Aaron to the problem.
