New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

Jurri · #1 July 24th, 2005, 12:09 PM

I'd say get a passworded pretender from everybody. If it's not too much trouble, Pasha could recreate the pretenders lacking a password with passwords of his own devising, thus saving us the wait.

I trust everyone implicitly, as this is only a game, with little value on victory or defeat. The problem is, if the players that don't have a password on their pretenders don't have this trust, they are more than likely going to ruin the game for everybody sooner or later, if things don't go their way. (It can't be my strategy that is at fault: it must be my enemy viewing my turns! Hence, I will quit.)

As an update:

I have received 3 replacement pretenders for those that had no password.

I am still waiting for King Lear to reply to my email and PM yesterday about needing a replacement pretender (because Dominions is rejecting it).

By the way, does it matter what I call the new map? It is necessary that all players name the modified map the same? If yes, what are we naming the map?

Yes, it does. You must call it "IloveAlneyan.map", or else it just won't work; trust me.

You can call the .map file anything you want, and the players won't need it; it is only used to create the game, so you can delete it once the game is underway (after a few turns have run). You do not need to alter the name of the .tga file either, and you shouldn't do so.

Ok.

I have new pretenders from the folks that had not included passwords. Now, I am only waiting on King Lear to respond.

k Pasha, I've sent it again. I have no idea why it didn't work last time.

Hmmmm. The new file sent by King Lear does not work. The program claims that it is not a "dominions file." Any suggestions? Ugh!

Pretender files are supposed to be around 0.3 kb; is the size of his file more or less correct? And what exact error message is given? I think I recall that one, but...

Nagot gick fel!

not a Dominions file

(King Lear's file is about 512 bytes, while all of the others are about 290 bytes. Perhaps, he is not taking his file from the Newlords file? I sent him an email with that suggestion.)
