When I created the game, I was predicting a mix of newb and experience (hence the title). But the game quickly filled up with all new players, as such has now became a newbie only game by default.

Anyway, I'm starting up a new game here for non-newbs Ossa if you want to check it out.

@ All

It now appears we have the full 10 players, so it's time for you all to start designing those Pretenders I'm going to have no free time to create the game and sort the map out for a little while (I'm away on an overnight business trip tonight). I will do both though the first chance I get. Which will either be late tomorrow night, or sometime on Thursday. But this shouldn't delay the game, as you can all use that time to design those Pretenders (I'll aim for a start before the weekend)

How do we design our pretenders if we don't know which version of CMB we're using?

Ah yes, sorry about that. In my rush to get on a flight this afternoon I forgot to clarify the CBM issue.

Anyway, a quick count of the votes seems to give 1.82 the nod over 1.6. So please create your Pretenders using CBM 1.82. (I think new players should use 1.6 personally, but I'll put my Dictatorship instincts to one side just for this game)

(For the game itself I will create a custom mod using Trumanator's fixes for 1.82. But this shouldn't affect Pretender design AFAIK, as none of the bugs are with the Pretenders)

Ok everyone, the game is up on the llamaserver. The name of the game is "Nicer_Shade_Of_Green".

Link is here - http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?ga..._Shade_Of_Green

Very important note. There is another game on the server called "A_Nicer_Shade_Of_Green". Please do not upload your pretenders to this game, as it is bugged, and it will be removed at some point soon (I've left it there for now in case llamabeast wants to check the error out). So please make sure you upload your Pretenders to the correct game.

For those new to using the llamaserver, the FAQ is here - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=35160


The mods you will need for the game are linked in the OP. For your convenience, here they are.

Single Age Mod - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attachment....99&d=1212179279

You might need 7-zip to unpack the "CBM 1.82 With Some Fixes" mod, as I had to max compress it to get it inside the forum attachment limit.

7-zip is here - http://www.7-zip.org/


The map is here - Greece Stain (Clean) - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attachment....69&d=1299106781

Note you only need the image file to play the game. If you want to play-test the map, then please download the original map.

Also, I will only be admining this game from the other forum once it starts. So if anyone hasn't jumped over there yet, then can I please ask you to do so soon, as I will likely miss any posts made on this thread.

Hi, when I install the 2 mods I get the error Nagot gick fel!.

myloadmalloc: can't open /mods/./CBM_sprites/manticore_1.tga

The sprites are not included in this mod but in the original cbm 1.81 they are.

[PriestyMan]

did you copy the sprite into the mod cal gave you?

[GFSnl]

I copied the directory "CBM_Sprites" from another cbm 1.82 install (different DOM3 install for a different MP) into the Mods directory.

[GFSnl]

I forgot to say that it works just fine right now.

[GFSnl]

Oh....

You have to install the official cbm 1.82 first and then copy Calahans "CBM_182_With_Some_Fixes.dm" into the Mods directory and load this mod file when you're in the dominions game.


You may have to create the Mods directory yourself if it's not in your game directory


CBM 1.82 found here

Oh I submitted my pretender with only the regular CMB 1.82. How do I fix it?
