"Home coming 2" is coming this december to PBW

[Cheeze]

I am wondering about this because I am wavering over my choice of homeworld type/atmosphere. Will those (along with this clue line in my species description/history/society) be modified by the host to link it with my as-yet-unknown partner?

[sparhawk]

No they will not.
So its a little simple but you can end up with a partner having different atmosphere or ice/gas/rock combination than your.
altought your both homeworld is going to have on of your atmosphere.

I've uploaded my empire file, but I've set a passowrd on the empire file as I always does.
How can the emp file be changed? Should I send the password?

[sparhawk]

Behind your empire there is a button: chance password...but I'm not sure if that would chance your emp password.
You can try it, or you can contact Geoschmo, he should know such things.

No, that only changes the password that's registred at the site,
But if the one who will change the emp files is a op at the PBW site he can propably find my password there.

That's what I was wondering, how will you change the empire description when the empire file is password protected?
I can upload a emp file without a password if that's needed, I just want to know what to do.
I have no problems myself with the empire file.

Sections 1.12 and 3.5 of the PBW FAQ that explain how to change passwords.

The only way to make any other changes to the .emp file is to post an Admin Request to have your status changed back to Empire Needed, then upload the corrected .emp file. The only way to edit .emp files is by way of SE IV's New Game/Set Up/Players screen.

I DO NOT WISH TO CHANGE PASSWORDS!!!!!
======================================

I was wondering:
How will you alter the description of the empire files!
The empire files are password protected, you do not know the password, or do you?

If I'm expressing myself in a fuzzy way I apologize for that.

[geoschmo]

Ruatha, sorry for the confusion. You are completely correct, and so is everybody else. They just didn't answer the right question.

I as a PBW admin have access to the password that you told PBW you were using for your empire file. As long as this is actually the password you used I can open your empire file and edit the empire description. If the two do not match I cannot open the empire file as you uploaded it.
