New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

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.

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)

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.

Remember, you send the nation.2h file from the newlords directory, not from a game directory.

There's really nothing to modify. As Cainehill said, just go to your \newlords folder and your unmodified pretender for your nation will be there. Just send it off and away we go!

Well - if he hasn't created another pretender for that nation since then. Arkas might want to start a game with the pretender just to make sure it's the one he thinks it is (with the _default_ pretender name, etc).
