Balance: Upload Pretenders

[chrispedersen]

Hey Ghoul

You don't need to remake your pretender - if you have the old one just resend it into the new game.

However, do make sure you are using version1.02 of the mod.
I created a Niefle pretender no problem as a test.

Also ghoul, you might want to turn on private messages so people can respond offline.

Best wishes

Chris

I'm going to be gone tomorrow evening, I'm taking a group to go watch the Perseid meteor showers. I'll be gone for a couple of days. BTW tonite the rings of Saturn are going to vanish.

We are only waiting for Strabo!

Uh oh. I tried playing my turn and the game conked out on me. I have BalanceGame1.02.dm so what am I missing?

[AlgaeNymph]

Problem fixed. Here's what I had to do:

1. close the game
2. move the mods into another folder
3. make sure the "mods" folder only has BalanceGame1.02.dm and SingleAgeComplete.dm
4. start the program and play the game as normal

Hopefully, anyone playing other games can gradually reinstall the needed mods with no problem. I'm curious though, won't we be needing all those .tga files for the mod-added units?

Aaargh! Even doing that, the game keeps crashing with a "bad #startsite" message. I didn't re-make my Pretender with Balance 1.02... is that causing the crash?

If so, I'm very sorry, everyone.

I am getting the same message, and was pretty sure I remade my pretender usingh the right mod.

Hey guys,

No, no the bad site message is just a sign that you have a wrong version of the module. So far, if you follow the instructions very carefully, its worked every time.
Someone (not me) uploaded a file the llamaserver that is *not* correct. But if you follow do the following, everything should be ok:

1. Unload all balance mods in dominions.
2. Exit Dominions. (Very Important).
3. delete all balance mods in the mod folder (.dm)
4. download the balance game1.02.dm file from the first thread in this post. After you extract it into the mod folder it should have the size 212,497 bytes.
5. Start dominions, start the game.

yes, you will need to copy them back. Just copy only the .tgas and you should be fine.

That seemed to work for me. So my turn is submitted.. For like the third time.

Never done so many 1st turns in my life.
