We are pleased to announce we�ve added support for SEV version 1.33 to PBW. If you can download it now from http://www.spaceempires5.com/files/se5patch_v133.exe.

1.33 implements a lot of great fixes including a couple that will help with the turn processing on PBW. It should reduce the amount of time it takes turns to process, and it gets rid of the black screen that would take over the desktop when turns would process in previous version. This made it difficult to do anything on the server while turns were running.

Because of this we are doing something a little different than previous versions. With this one we are encouraging everyone to upgrade to the latest version as soon as is practical. The previous versions will still be supported for existing games, but game owners will no longer have the option to create a game with the stock versions prior to 1.33, or with the mod versions prior to 1.25. Game owners will also not be able to change their games to these obsolete versions. As soon as version 1.33 mods are available we will obsolete the 1.25 mod versions as well.

I wonder if it might be possible to make the exception to the rule and have v1.33 with BM v1.03 so current games of BM can update. If those versions are even compatable.

Unfortunatley SEV does not yet have the command line options needed for different versions of a mod and the game will not allow you to change the name of the game type folder once the game is begun. So if we supported 1.33 with BM v1.03, that would be the only version of BM useable on PBW with 1.33.

BTW, I've uploaded GG for v1.33 to PBW.
Apparently it is the first entry in the SE5 mods list.

Unless you changed the folder name for 1.05..

yeah Phonenix-D that's what I'm advocating, however it needs to be done by Kwok on release.

Is it not possible to upgrade games from BM 1.03 to BM 1.05? I haven't really been following that discussion. If it is possible to upgrade, giving BM 1.05 a different folder name will make it impossible to do so.

1.05 is a savegame breaker.

On second thought, give me a few days and I can straighten out this mod thing for PBW. What I can do is put separate 1.33 installs of SEV on the server for each mod version. It's not like there are huge number of mods here like with SEIV. And I've got more HD space on the server then I did before so space isn't as much of an issue.

That shold work around the problem right? People will still only be able to have one version of the mod on their own machines unless they have separate installs, but that's probably not as much of a problem.

Adding new strategies via Empires/Default/Default_AI_Strategies seems to work fine, but even the new ones can't be changed in-game either. :/

I hope we don't have to wait a month to get that fixed, since the game only seems to load that file upon initial game creation.
