Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

I am having a problem downloading saved games. Every time I tried to a new web browser opened and the saved game was not downloaded. Could you please tell me if there is something I can do to get past this error.

Hello,

i am not sure what you mean, but if you want to download DOM2 Savegames from played DOM2 Ladder games, here is the link to the download site :

--> DOM2 Ladder Games Saves

KLICK on the RED COLORED LINK to download the game. A popup will appear...

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

I am sorry for not explaining better. I am using a Mac Os X computer and when I tried to download the saved games a new window opened showing a bunch of numbers and letters and the game did not get downloaded.

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

Have you registered? You have to go to www.the-battlefield.com and register before the save-game link will work.

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

Yes I have registered.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think your browser may not recognize this as a file to be downloaded, rather than displayed. Try holding the mouse button down (that's how it's done in MacOS, IIRC), until the menu appears, then save-link-as. Unless the battlefield uses some kind of weird link crap that confuses even that. Then you're just kinda hosed. It's likely that your browser is simply unable to identify what a .trn or .2h file is.

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

Thank you all for the help. Norfleet your suggestion seems to have worked. The computer downloaded 7caelum.trn when I downloaded the caelum saved game. The computer does not recognize it unsuprisingly. Now to ask yet another question. What do I do to view the saved game?

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">i think renaming it to just caelum.trn is enough .
and you have to save it in the correct dominionssavegame folder .

e.g. if the participating game is called :
ylskdjvly�dfjk
then this subfolder should be found in the dominion2 folder .
simply copy your turn in that subfolder and name it caelum.trn

should be enough to get it work.

edit : if there occurs a special OS problem still i can't help you because i only have win xp http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

So the .trn file is not the only thing required to see the saved game?

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

Well, you need to plop it into a folder in your Dom2 directory, that is preferrably named as a legal game would be. Give it a name like, say, "Grah". Then throw the .trn file in, and play. No other files are needed, but it DOES need to have its own directory, or Dom2 does not realize that it's supposed to be a game.

Re: ONLINE Rankings / Tourney for DOM 2
 

I finally got it to work but the saved game had a password! Thank you all for the help.
