Thanks Huntsman - where does the .tga file from the download go?

Goblin

Just goes into the mods directory, same as the .dm file. (Some mods use their own subdirectories in dominions2/mods, but those are mostly ones that create a lot of custom unit graphics and whatnot.)

Thanks - It's working

At this rate, we may see turn 5 by X-mas.

C'mon, peeps, the game is on! The fun has begun! Play your turn already!

So when do we go to 48-hour forced hosting? hehe

A switch to 48 hours was considered after having gone on a server; I am reluctant enforcing a deadline for the first turn, as there can always be problems with mods and the like.

RonD made a very good point about the status mails: in this game, the players being late should be named, instead of naming their nations. That way, apologies can be made, or they can publicly ask for more information, and so on (it won't work in TCP/IP).

For this turn, you should contact me privately if you have any problem, like a missing turn file, mod problems...

If we're still waiting on _just_ one nation, perhaps you might use the master password to set the pretender / mage to research, and run the turn?

Alneyan · #**266** July 30th, 2005, 05:14 PM

The turn has run, either shortly before or after your message; I was the one unexpectedly away for the day, but now it should be fine.

Hi All:

I am back and can take over hosting at Alneyan's leisure.

*sigh* And apparently we are once again waiting on someone, for turn two, something that should only take someone a minute or two at most.

This reminds me why I normally avoid 17 player games like the plague.

PashaDawg · #**269** August 1st, 2005, 08:52 AM

I received the turn for only one player for turn 2. Perhaps, all others have been sent to Alneyan, and so, I have forwarded it to him.

ALneyan here, not on my computer, so I'll keep it short (that thing will crash any second now): I cannot host anything right now, and won't get back online until tonight at the earliest, in a few days more likely. I'll see once I can get that network up and running.

THere's a problem here though, and a big one: one player told me I put the fatherland by mistake in one of the zip files... which is about the dumbest thing that can be done. I can't check right now, but if it is indeed the case, it may warrant a restart. If I could do it right now, I would probably restart the game and redo the whole turns 1 and 2, but that would be difficult with no stable computer under my hand.
