New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[The Panther]

The hero mod will not affect any pretenders. No need to remake anything with the v1.2 upgrade. You just need it in your mod folder to run the game.

[Cainehill]

Yeah, all it does is slightly increase a couple of the heroes that might or might not show up. (For instance, a couple may now have a sword of sharpness, etc.) Doesn't affect the pretenders at all, nor does it change the spell casting heroes enough to affect nation design choices.

[Shmonk]

Oh, my mistake. I guess that would be logically correct, if it doesn't affect scales, magic, or pretender, it's not necessary to remake a pretender to use the new mod. So in this case, it's kind of like a map, as long as it's in the correct folder, it will be used. Got it.

Ugh! I knew there would need to be a problem.

I was getting the game set up, but when I hit "create new game" (after putting all your pretenders in the Newlords folder), I get an error "wrong gnumber" (with that spelling).

Does this have something to do with CD Key numbers?

Also, I notice that Arkas's pretender is 7k while all other pretenders are only 1k. Is it possible that Arkas accidentally sent the wrong pretender file (e.g., sent a pretender file from another game)?

I sent an email to Arkas to inquire.

A quick search returned this quote from Johan:

gnumber = game number, but that won't make much sense either I think.

My guess is that something wicked has crept into your newlords folder. Erase your entire newlords folder and it might just work.

See thread here

I think you're right about Arkas's pretender file.

[Alneyan]

If memory serves, gnumber is when you use an order .2h file, and not a Pretender .2h file; 7k is way too big to be a Pretender, but it can be a small order file. I had the same problem in another game, and I'm pretty sure it was the gnumber message.

Whollaborg: Heh, you're welcome; I guess I will just create a game when I feel like getting into a new game (once my current game, Song of the Blade, is over)

[Arkas]

Yeah, i was playing a test game out with my faction. It probably is from a game in action. I will modify the pretender and resend when i get home tonight.
