Have you tried requesting a turn resend Strabo? As maybe your email got corrupted somewhere along the lines.

When I have that problem I usually get a fresh turn file resent to me, and then save it in a completely new folder. That's usually gets it working for me.

2Calahan, yes, I tried this too, but doesn't work for me

@ Strabo - That's annoying. Can you by any chance type out, or cut and paste, the exact error message you are getting. Since that might help identify what the exact problem is.

Message: "Turn file is corrupted"

Hhhhhmmmm, not much to go on is it? To be honest I'm not sure what else you can do to try and solve the problem.

All I can suggest is one or more of the following....

1. Try to get hold of llamabeast to see if he can identify and solve the problem his end.
2. Email your turn file to someone to see if they get the same error message when they try to open it. Maybe email it to rdonj, the admin, for him to check. And I'd suggest emailing your file rather than switching emails address on the llamaserver (so that someone can get the turn file via a resend). As the change of email address will be recorded in the logs, hence giving your nation away.
3. Contact rdonj and ask for a delay until you sort the problem out.

Hope you get things sorted Strabo

and sorry I couldn't help solve your problem

Try removing all mods and reinstaling dominions, sometimes it helps with this problem. You don't have to actually delete the mods, just move them into another folder, and try without them.
If it doesn't help try to post in Dom3 section - perhabs the devs would help you.
Do you have the last patch, 3.23b?

Strabo · #7 July 14th, 2009, 02:24 AM

Yes, I have 3.23b
I'll try what you suggest asap

You have 2 options
1) Change e-mail (if you have gmail account, use it - never saw the problem on gmail but quite often with mail.ru).
2) If you're familiar with hex editors you can manually repair the file. The problem comes from the fact that last 2 or 4 bytes of the trn contains checksum wich gets truncated in some cases by some mail servers. When I had the problem on mail.ru box I asked the host to send the trn in archive and compared 2 files, and if I remember right the last 0x00 was missed from corrupted. Not sure, however, about that last part, but I was able to repair the next corrupted file in this way.

Read the Llamaserver FAQ. It says:

Quote:

Very weirdly, a problem's happened twice where a particular turn file arrives in a player's inbox corrupt. On requesting a resend, the turn arrives corrupt again. But the file's fine on the LlamaServer, and if I change the e-mail address to my own and get it to resend it works fine. Solution: ask the admin to get the file sent to him (by temporarily changing the nation's e-mail address) and have him forward the file to you. The next turn the problem should have gone. This is super super weird, but fortunately also super rare.

I think that is exactly the problem you have

Strabo · #10 July 14th, 2009, 03:32 AM

Uff... I set up my mail.ru account to resend mail to my gmail account, and now I have no problems

Thanks for help
