Mose - can you let me know when it's safe to start Try Something New, which is configured to play on the world map ?

In less than 24 hours. I'll reply to your email when the time comes...

Esben has installed world.map, but when I tried to start Try Something New, it nagotted. The game was then stopped. I restarted to find the game still in the open state. Tried again, same result. Any ideas?

we've experienced exactly the same problem w/ our Throne_of_heavens game. Any time we try to start, it nagots w/ "connection to server is broken".

both games involved upping modified maps, but i'm not sure how that would be a problem? unless they were installed incorrectly, like w/out proper permissions???

This problem is still happening.
I don't think any new games have been successfully started in the Last couple of days.

Could be a problem with the ".map" file - for Dom2, it needs to have a line that says the name of the ".tga" file, but in addition, for mosehansen, the ".tga" and the ".map" need to have the same filename.

So - it has to be "modifiedworld.map" and "modifiedworld.tga", and the "modifiedworld.map" has to have been updated to reflect the "modifiedworld.tga" filename.

that's a good point cainehill. i didn't personally upload, so i have no idea if they are all in accordance, but it certainly seems the first thing that should be checked. storm, zap, you have the originals of the files you uploaded lying around?

The world map was installed by Esben, so I assume he got it right.

File names are case sensitive in Linux. So you have to make sure you don't get any FINAKARTAN.TGA maps together with #imagefile finakartan.tga. This would work in Windows but not in Linux.

Well, no, as it turned out. My server is battered down and I sometimes forget this. The server did not, in fact, have permissions to read the manually installed files. Just goes to show that I have to use the tools I make just like everyone else...
