MP Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]

Firewalker · #1 May 30th, 2009, 03:13 PM

Okay. I've got the map ready to go and I've created the game (MistsofTime) on Llamaserver. I've also completed all but the final (fourth) round of nation selection and posted the list on the first post of the thread. There were just a couple who ended up without any of their three nation picks.

For those who'll be working on their pretenders and generally just would like the files for the game all in one place, I've attached a .zip file of the map and the mods we'll be using for the game.

The map files, mistsoftime.tga and mistsoftime.map, go into your .../dominions3/map/ folder.

Put the archives of CBM1.5 and Llamabanners (Streamers & Standards mod), go into your .../dominions3/mod/ folder. Then extract them there.

NOTE: You will need to have CBM 1.5 installed before you create your pretender if you don't already have it. CBM tweaks the pretenders and costs and such. Llamaserver's copy of Dominions may well throw an error if you send in a pretender designed with the vanilla game.

I can't seem to get the map to work... Just me?

I noticed that when I open the map in Dominions (when starting a new game), it is actually still called Glory of the Gods, instead of Mistsoftime. It's a second copy found down further in the list of maps. I neglected to change the name in the description found in the .map file ... Or was the problem something else?

I've played quite a bit against the computer but haven't done PBEM before.

I did install the mods but don't know where to find the maps.

How do I send my pretender?

Is there a guide to playing PBEM on Llamaserver?

The map files are in the mists.zip file I attached a couple posts ago. If you would like to start a practice game with the map, drop the two files mistsoftime.tga and mistsoftime.map into .../dominions3/map/ folder and then start a new game. When you reach the list of maps, it'll be called Glory of the Gods but it'll be a second copy that appears after the original version that came with your game.

The only difference you'll notice from the original Glory map is that there are only 24 places players will begin the game. Otherwise, its identical.

The link statttis posted is Llamabeast's instructions for players new to Llamserver. It's fairly simple, a matter of sending files to an email address.

I didn't know the map is glory of gods. I just searched for a map named "mists of time" as filename. If there'll be no problem I'll let it stay that way.

If you put the files I posted in your map folder, everything should be fine.
