Re: Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?
Yes, although the .emp file is needed to actually play a PBW game, just to start it up. I should have seen an error when I set up the game if the .emp were bad. It sounds like the "cannot load game" error that comes up when the current Path file points to a Version that is quite different from the mod the game turn was created with. He says he's been able to run Proportions though by himself.
I think the advice would be to back up or remove his current Proportions folder, and re-install Proportions. Perhaps, for instance, his zip extractor didn't create the right sub-folders, or didn't extract all of the files, or he was browsing the Prop data files and inadvertantly changed something, or something along those lines.

Re: Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?
OK - probablyu I messed up something when I tried to import the shipsets - every shipset people are using had different pathing information, and it's possible I moved soemthign to the wrong place. I'll just re-install Proportions 2.0 and try again - but it won't be until late tonigth before I can try, as I have tickets to the Braves-Mets game tonight

Re: Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?
We've had a couple of reports where a problem like this turned out to be an outdated Version of WinZip screwing up the unpacked file.

Don't bother with the shipsets now, you can download them you need if you get first contact. Maybe you just need 2 or 3 of them at all (like me ?)

Re: Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?
Ok, Geoschmo has set up Gold 1.67 & Proportions 2.1 for the next game turn. If you've not already done the current turn, do that one in 1.60 & 2.0.
