Conquest PBW (Star Trek Mod v1.35) Question:

David E. Gervais · #1 February 27th, 2004, 12:44 PM

Ok, I searched for the Conquest PBW thread to post there but couldn't find it. So I made this new thread.

What is going to happen with the Conquest PBW when I upgrade to 1.91? Will it still work? Does it need to be manually moved through the transition?

I find it strange that no one has posted about this earlier.

So? Wazzzza?

Cheers!

EDIT: I have now installed the 1.91 patch, now to see if this has broken this PBW game. (I sure hope not.)

Yes David, the mod, and your game, will still work under 1.91.

You will of course need to play your turns with the same Version that the PBW server will be using.

What I did was install a new installation of SEIV and then update that to 191.

I have been play testing the STM mod using SE IV Version 191 without a problem.

So, does this mean you will be updating the PBW Version to 1.91?

If not I'm out of luck. (I'm not going to have multiple Versions/installs of se4 just for the sake of playing a PBW game. the NGC4 is updating, I would suggest that the Conquest PBW game be upgraded too.

If the mod works fine with the new Version then it should be fine for everyone involved. We are just 4 players left in the game after all.)

Cheers!

I dont see any need to update the game unless others want it done. I am keeping a 184 Version on my PC.

All games should be updated to 1.91 immediately. There are numerous bug fixes in the new Version of SE4 that are IMO indispensible.

If everyone can agree on it, then I shall email Geoschmo and ask him to update the game to 191.

I vote to upgrade, since I have now installed the patch and will otherwise not be able to play in the Conquest PBW game.

I heard that if I play my turns with v1.91 while the PBW host is generating turns with v1.84 then my ministers will take over.

So, if you want me to keep playing I wholeheartedly vote for upgrading the Conquest PBW server/host

Cheers!

Actually you won't be able to play your turns. You will get a message that the data files do not match.

You can turn off your ministers.

At the bottom of the Minister window is the option to turn of the Minsiters during simutanius play.

It reads "AI will not make changes to game" or somethimg like that.

Why are you taking a vote? Just upgrade the game. There is no reason not to upgrade it.
