Even if C'tis identifies themselves, you're waiting for Vanheim, right?

Once Yvelina is in, if C'tis hasn't been identified in a reasonable amount of time, you might consider deleting C'tis and starting?

Ctis is id'ed now and Yvelina (Vanheim) had loaded her Pretender when I Last peeped the server, IIRC.

The ONLY mod we will be using is the Pretender one Zen made, not the spell mod.

I'm away from home right now, but I'll kick the game off when I get back, about 5 p.m. EST today (Friday). You'll all have till 9 p.m. EST tomorrow (Saturday) to get the first turn done, then we move to 12-hour fixed hosting for the first week (9 p.m./9 a.m.)

Can someone with more experience refresh my memory with respect to map names? Will players get error Messages if their .tga file names do not match the name of the server's .map file for the Cradle of Zen?

Pretty sure that's correct - it'll look for the files specified on the server, both the .tga and the .map file. This was causing some people problems when games were started with both the Cradle of Doom and Cradle of Zen maps on mosehansen.

Very well then, what is the name of the .tga most players are likely to have--the one currently available for download from Illwinter? I'll rename the server's .map file accordingly.

I am in a game called Yarnspinners. It uses the Craddle of Zen maps. The file names are craddlez14.tga and craddlez14.map.

Of course, it is not a big deal if we have different names, we can also keep multiple copies of the files.
