Llamaserver FAQ is here http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=531116

You will get an email with the first turn when it starts. Just put it in a folder under your saved games folder. IE .../dominions3/savedgames/freshmeat

Yo guys, apologies for my silence effedom. I wrote a long answer to your PM, then had a power cut, and was so tired I couldn't face starting again. Anyway, I have to start the game manually so just let me know when all the pretenders are in and I'll start it up for you. I'll remember to remove Reno's pretender as well.

thanks, please start game tonight (at your latest convenience) if darkstone is or isnt in...thats about as long as we can give him.

and yes remove reno. pretty incredible he would still send in a pretender after being told to leave.
not so incredible that everyone was very happy when i did remove him, though, i sortof realize that now

.
now even saying i send him obsceneties and harrass him in PM haha...wow, what a loser. i would be happy to post the message i sent him. something i doubt he would. i dont think anyone here has been nicer to him than me even after his crap, but enough is enough.

by the way, taking this to PMs is pointless, because it is not a 1 to 1 issue. personally i dont care about reno, why the hell i should have to PM or even talk to him is beyond me. its more of an issue that about 4-5 players in this game have made it clear that they already dont like him and didnt want to play with him, for stuff he's done before. this is not something that can be sorted via PMs so that typical mantra of mods "take it to PMs" is just evasive and causes more problems, because the real problem never gets solved.

that being said, real problem solved would be removing reno from this thread entirely.
is there any way to ban a user from a thread that you make?
i really just dont want reno justin to be posting here at all, and i think everyone else wants the same.

right now anyway he is just a lost case, being nice to him doesnt work so the only other thing to do is ignore him, but he is already coming back to bother us even when he's been out of the game for 2 days or so now. can you lock him out of this thread please?
thanks whatever you can do.
dont worry about the lost message llama

OK....Prepare yourselves for the MIGHTY Marverni Paratrooper Druids dropping out of the clear blue sky!!!

We have gathered around the fire and drank our Holy Wine and made peace with the great God, tied a ribbon around our head and have started chanting....Beware!!!

Seriously...I have the folder made but the folder only says "Freshmeat" although it IS in the same general File as My other saved solos games (each one is a independent file) amd the Newlords file.

In the faq it has that I should create a file saying 'dominions3\savedgames\Freshmeat mine only says freshmeat but it is (as I said) in the same folder as 'Newlords' and my solos saved games just under a different file.

Is this ok....guys this is my first MP and I an somewhat computer challenegd, but once I learn it I am smooth.

So as we are starting, if someone could actually tell me if I am doing it wrong please help me. Because I am reading it that I am ok waiting for the next step.

I have read the Faq 20 times and DID (YEA!!!) manage to send in my pretender (twice I may add) so someone let me know if I am on the right track and I will be fine.

Thanks for all your help and don't worry about that one dude...there is ALWAYS one...just Ignore him, as thats the worst thing a guy like that can have happen!!

You should be fine if the game folder is in the same place as your other savedgames. \dominions3\savedgames\Freshmeat is the destination folder to your saved game, not the filename.

Okay, everything is ready for the start apart from Darkstone's pretender. He's tried sending it again, but I think his e-mail must be somehow not working correctly. I'm communicating with him via PM, so hopefully we will be able to get it sorted shortly.

effeDom · #7 June 24th, 2008, 06:55 PM

llama, i asked please start the game without him, we have waited 2 days for him, we wont wait anymore. i send you a PM again to tell you i guess you arent reading the thread ;p

thanks.
should have some automated hosting server, doing manually is too dysfunctional lol. hard to script tho for sure...
