MP: David & Goliath - Running noob game

less than 4 hours to hosting

I'm going to bed.

I'll be disappointed if I find I staled overnight.

Hello guys

[Yskonyn]

Hi Ossa, welcome! I have put you in command of Helheim so any and all turn will be dropped in your email box from now on.

One thing that I am just plain confused about at this point is the state of our game.
We already rolled back once before X-Mas. Then during X-Mas there were some problems and some countries staled. We rolled back a second time. What's the deal with talking about ANOTHER rollback at this point? Aren't we all where we are supposed to be?
Doesn't everyone have sent their 29th turn in to the server yet?

Please enlighten me, because I really do not understand what the problem is now.

The problem is that the game is now a mess, units with the wrong ID, magical items disappearing, units losing his magical paths, more units disappearing without any explanation, etc.

Someone sent a wrong turn with a wrong file or the previous rollbacks "broke" something.

Oh then let's all delete our current turn files on your PC's. We will rollback as thejeff suggested and start fresh with those files send by Llama, although I am not too sure this will cure the problems, as we already did a rollback before which might have caused the game to go tits up.

So EVERYONE delete your current files and wait for the new Llamaserver round of turns it will send and use that turn to process a new turn.
If this doesn't work then the game is broken beyond repair and we will have to forfeit unfortunately as I understand it.

My sincere appologies for the troubles. It looked like a great game and it would be a pitty to have to forfeit.
Expect a new turn in a few mins.

Please note that I do understand that if you're in a battle a rollback might cause a different output or other uncomfortable things while at war, but please understand this is a decisive action to try to repair the game so we can continue normally with the following turns.

I understand deleting the .2h file and replacing it with the new llama file, what about the .trn file?

Ossa- now that the game thinks you are the helheim player, you can request a turn resend yourself (its under admin options). Yskonyn- you CAN resend a turn to a single player without it going out to all players.

[Yskonyn]

It doesn't matter as we are rolling back. So Ossa, you don't have to do anything. You will get a turn sent by the server automatically.

Thank you very much Yskonyn for hosting such a fun game. i wish i could have stayed to play this out. i had some interesting ideas that i haven't seen on these forums. i told ossa about them- maybe he will have a chance to implement them...

anyway, i hope the problems all get ironed out and you all have a great time.

Thanks also to ossa for stepping up.

The new llama file is the .trn file. You need to delete the .2h and replace the existing .trn with the .trn from the llamaserver.
