I wonder if it might be possible to make the exception to the rule and have v1.33 with BM v1.03 so current games of BM can update. If those versions are even compatable.

Unfortunatley SEV does not yet have the command line options needed for different versions of a mod and the game will not allow you to change the name of the game type folder once the game is begun. So if we supported 1.33 with BM v1.03, that would be the only version of BM useable on PBW with 1.33.

BTW, I've uploaded GG for v1.33 to PBW.
Apparently it is the first entry in the SE5 mods list.

Unless you changed the folder name for 1.05..

yeah Phonenix-D that's what I'm advocating, however it needs to be done by Kwok on release.

Is it not possible to upgrade games from BM 1.03 to BM 1.05? I haven't really been following that discussion. If it is possible to upgrade, giving BM 1.05 a different folder name will make it impossible to do so.

1.05 is a savegame breaker.

On second thought, give me a few days and I can straighten out this mod thing for PBW. What I can do is put separate 1.33 installs of SEV on the server for each mod version. It's not like there are huge number of mods here like with SEIV. And I've got more HD space on the server then I did before so space isn't as much of an issue.

That shold work around the problem right? People will still only be able to have one version of the mod on their own machines unless they have separate installs, but that's probably not as much of a problem.

No. I don't think that will work because when players go to load the save game, then it will search for the PBW's folder name - so they'd have to keep different installs with mod folders labeled the same as PBW's.

The BM update will extract to "Balance Mod v1.05+" which will be good for PBW games for the next few months since the next series of updates will be save-game stable.

sounds far more complicated than just giving the folders new names.

Adding new strategies via Empires/Default/Default_AI_Strategies seems to work fine, but even the new ones can't be changed in-game either. :/

I hope we don't have to wait a month to get that fixed, since the game only seems to load that file upon initial game creation.
