You need to check the box "That's not me!" in the game view. That will make you anonymous. Then ask me to kick all anonymous players.

This was implemented as people apparently overwrote pretender positions --- hopefully by accident or unknowingly.

You can --- and should! --- check if the pretender you have uploaded is the correct one using the md5 sum. In linux, the utility is name md5sum --- if you are using another OS just post it and some other guy can tell you how to do it.

Once you have claimed the pretender as you (Checking the That's me! box) the pretender is locked and can only be unlocked by you.

Hi I think I have uploaded to Ulm (in error ) & Abysia, with a pretender that seems different somehow - possibly missng a password so please kick those and accept my apologies. I will upload a proper Abysia tommorrow.

Oki, uploaded my pretender (with password this time). I'm ready to rumble.

I prefer Karan to Karan dry, but only because I don't have to go searching for Karan_dry.

If someone points me to it, I am all for it.

I have staked Tien Chi (at least I hope so) and I will submit pretender in a few hours (just got home and I need to see how to play Tien Chi)

I think Karan_dry is just a modified .map file - if you want, I expect someone can package it up into a zip, but you'll need ... a renamed karan.tga file as well, the way your server works? I think it expects the .map (text) file and the .tga (background map) file to have matching filenames?

Individual players don't need to find the Karan Dry, because as long as the host uses the modified, dry, .map file, that controls the game for everyone - they can just use the regular karan files.

Those who _do_ want the dry Version for their own games, it's found on Illwinter's site, under maps, right with the regular Karan download. The karan2.dry is simply the .map file, and thus quite small.

I've packaged them up as karan_dry.map and karan_dry.tga in a karan_dry.zip file, but am having no luck uploading - 0 KB/sec.

Update : I believe the karan_dry files have successfully been uploaded.

As I mentioned, I just renamed the karan tga file, figuring that a couple megs of redundant / duplicate file wasn't a big deal with todays computers.
