Nope. Ok, here's what happened guys.

You were correct Parabolize, Version 1.91 had some data file changes unrelated to the Balanced system mod. Components file, facilities file, and Fyron's "Smooth pop Modifiers" were added to settings.txt. Because of this games created with Balanced Mod Version 1.1 will not work in "Host only" mode for Version 1.91 games.

Your game is fine. All that happened was on the first turn there were some minor discrepancies between the stock 1.84 data in the mod that Asmala used to setup the first turn of the game, and the stock 1.91 data that you guys were using to try and play the first turn. Loading the mod as you did was fine, and avoided having to do a restart. Once you both uploaded, PBW used the stock 1.91 files to process the turn so now you need to use 1.91 to play turn 2 and all the turns from here on.

I have updated the Balanced System Mod so that this does not happen again. This new Version 1.2 corrects the problem by incorporating the 1.91 data file changes into the mod. Version 1.2 is otherwise identical to Version 1.1

HERE'S A LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE MOD.

As long as the proper Version is used by the game owner when creating the first turn, the mod will be useable as a host only mod, that is, only needed to setup the map on the first turn and not needed by the players at all.

For games started with Version 1.84, use Balanced System Mod Version 1.1

For games started with Version 1.91, use Balanced System Mod Version 1.2

As long as the game owner follows this protocol, the players will not need to have the mod and should notice no difference from a stock game, other then having a balanced map.

Sorry for the inconveinence. I missed this when 1.91 came out, I should have been prepared for this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Geoschmo thank you for upgrading the mod

Would anyone happen to have some free time to set up a map for Ragnarok and myself in our KOTH game? I will let the map size and type up to you Ragnarok if you have any preference in this field.

However, using a third party map will also deny me my so common excuse, the usual "The map wasn't balanced! The map was balanced against me! It was a treacherous plot to bring me down!", so I will be lacking a proper scapegoat, which cannot answer back. How annoying.

RE: Electrum v Primitive

Primitive
My Last turn came out funky. It's as though I missed a turn. Would it be ok if we do a roll-back?

Ragnarok · #**2536** March 18th, 2004, 02:25 AM

Size of the map does not matter to me. The average setting (small?), if not slightly bigger, would be fine with me.

I wouldn't worry Alneyan, I'm sure you can find any excuse to blame your impending loss on.

I just wish I could say that with confidence.

Has it been considered to have a KOTH for mods?

geoschmo · #**2540** March 18th, 2004, 12:54 PM

Not sure what you mean At. You can play Koth games with mods now. You just have to agree to it with your opponent. Any of the default Koth settings can be changed if the players agree to it.

If you mean a separate Koth with some particular Mod as teh default, that would be kind of difficult. You probably couldn't get enough people willing to play all their games with one mod.
