(Monkey Paradise) NEWBS ONLY (running)

[Groundworm]

The game has now started, you should have already received the first turn. Enjoy!

Dominions crashes when I try to load the trn file I was just sent. This is under MacOS 10.5.8. The trn file is in

/Users/MyUserName/dominions3/savedgames/MonkeyParadise

The only immediately obvious difference between the trn file I received and the ones saved by my SP games is that the one from llamaserver has extended attributes.

This is my first time playing with llamaserver, so the help of more experienced players would be appreciated to resolve this problem.

Thanks!

I am not familiar with MacOS but it is more or less based on Unix, the program trying to access a file it has no rights over might be shut down by the system? Does your file has the right rights and/or owner/group? (man chown/chmod/chgrp for more info)

[mockingbird]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's it, as it has the same permissions as all of my other saved games:

ls -alt@ late_marignon.trn
-rw-r--r-- 1 username 502 94922 Jul 16 13:58 late_marignon.trn

I removed (or so it seems) the extended attribute using
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine late_marignon.trn

I also tried grabbing the attachment again and just opening it directly with dominions, to no avail.

Just to confirm, you're running the latest patch level (Dominions 3.24) with CBM 1.6 enabled (in the mod preferences screen), correct?

One thing you could try: Put up your own 2 player test game on Llamaserver with just you and an AI and see if it works. Try it with this map, and maybe try one with a different map. Or you could try a local game on your machine with this map (I hope it's not the map!).

[Allium]

Yeah, I found out when I tried to play my first turn that I'd forgotten to update to 3.24, so that's worth a check.

[mockingbird]

Okay, my problem seems to be solved.

I will decline to describe what the issue was because I don't want to embarrass myself any more than I already have.

Sorry for the slacking on getting my 1st turn in. I'm travelling this weekend, and while I think I should be fine with the 24 hour timer I may end up using more of it than would otherwise be necessary for these quick starting turns.

I'll be back home Monday night (and will then need to look for new excuses for my slacking).

The nation of Bogarus is interested in getting nature, many other types are available in exchange.

Whoa, just noticed that Bogarus Starlets are pretty awesome with 12 research for only 250 gold each... I'm jealous. Any chance you would be interested in fire gems?
