Charles Bronson PBEM

[Charles_Bronson]

Allright, now this is serious.

Civ 4 1.52 is out there. I wish to start a PBEM with 7 players, on the following settings:

Map: Continents
Size: Standart
Climate: Temperate
Sea Level: Medium
Era: Ancient
Speed: Normal
Difficult: Monarch (or emperor)
All victory conditions will be enabled.

Of course ANY settings can be discussed here ;)

As I am a PBEM newbie, I´m accepting any veterans taking charge here too :D

I will play with Saladin from Arabia.

any questions send a private message or e-mail to commanderapocalipse at hotmail dot com
please join!

[Paddy]

may I play?

[McMeadows]

if this game ever does start... I'm certainly available. I think we have to set an age ceiling for participants. This 1 might take a while... No one older than Paddy? ;)

Just checked which century I was born in - should allow many many players to particpate ;)

[SebP]

I'm in too. 7 Players might make for nice world wars... a year from now. I think i'd prefer pangea or another "guaranteed early contacts" start though

I am now 24 and in good health ;) I might just still see the end of this one

or you could leave it in your "Will" for your GrandChildren ;)


7 players... a suggestion: start in the Industrial Era - get it moving :D (just a suggestion)

[SebP]

7 players... a suggestion: start in the Industrial Era - get it moving :D (just a suggestion)

might be a good idea. i haven't tried those in sp, and i think i like ancient starts better (as i suspect virtually everyone does) but on the other hand, it won't really hurt the diplomacy-game which is what should be really cool about this one, and it will start that much faster with 3(?) settlers

Perhaps just as good would be to let someone set up an ancient start with 3 settlers and 3 warriors each for us though?

[Paddy]

yeah starter packs are cool as well :D

[Charles_Bronson]

starter packages? that would be nice ;)

4 Players already, three players to join yet.
As soon we got full house, we should vote game setup.

[Addled Platypus]

make that 5

[Charles_Bronson]

Allright, if nobody joins today, we can starting voting the game setup, ok?

[Paddy]

add Grandpa Troll to the lists :)

will send him and James a link :)

[Addled Platypus]

groovy

[Addled Platypus]

oh


Greek please

[James]

In Please. Rome. :D

[SebP]

I'll be Mali

[Paddy]

Elizabeth of England thanks :D

[SebP]

i vote for the 3 settlers 3 warriors ancient start on pangea or terra, normal size and speed. does anyone know a 3rd party to set this up for us? (in case the vote decides in favor of this setup)

[McMeadows]

civ: random
options: don't care

[Grandpa Troll]

[Charles_Bronson]

err, so, what are we waiting for??
:eager:

[Charles_Bronson]

Charles Bronson: Saladin of Arabia
Platypus Rex: Alexander of Greek (god i hate greek)
James the Scot: Julius Caesar of Rome
SebP: Malinese
Paddy the Scot: elizabeth of the England
McMeadows: Random
Grandpa, your civ?

Is everybody OK with the starting conditions?
I vote for Continents, ALL victory conditions.

Please, make your wishes know! :unworthy:
thanks!

looks good to me :D

oh can we have raging barbarians ;)

[Charles_Bronson]

Great. ;)

Now, please, would be nice if everybody could vote. I don´t know how to post a poll, so i´m going to do it the old fashioned way:
------------------------
Terra Map:

------------------------
Continents:
Charles Bronson
------------------------
Pangea:
SebP
------------------------
No Vote:
McMeadows

(U can vote in more than one option :D )

I think everybody agree on size map, speed and victory conditions. (standart, normal, all victory conditions enabled).
And yes, three starting settlers and warriors ;)

[Grandpa Troll]

just plug me in so we can start whatever anyone wants I am good for

Gramps

[Paddy]

Pangea works for me as well :D


will be a messy old land of wars....

[BigFree]

I can be number 7. Terra map sounds good to me.

[James]

Pangea. :b:

[SebP]

BigFree we were 7 already. Opinions on playing with 8? I don't really care.

About the starter pack. How do we even do it? I didn't find any options to start a pbem from a scenario? Can it be done? And again, anyone have a buddy who could set this up for us? Cause I don't. If we play pangea, one of us could do it... The maps look all the same. He could just edit the plain scenario textfile for editing in the units (it is simple enough from what i see), but i suspect he will see the map in graphics when he converts a save to a scenario. Since he doesn't have to see the starting positions in graphics, it won't matter much though.

[Paddy]

Make it 8 :b:

[Addled Platypus]

I am game for what ever is voted on

[SebP]

And the (assumed, i bet half of you knew exactly how to do it) problem is solved, it is easy enough to just use a modded CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml. Duh. Also, no outsider is needed to set it up, and noone will need to see any maps beforehand. I was still in SMACs scenario editing mindset

So far, here the game settings:

Speed: Normal
Difficult: Monarch (or emperor)
-All victory conditions will be enabled
- Raging Barbarians (anyone against this?) :hmmm:

my e-mail is commanderapocalipse at hotmail dot com. Please, post yours, so we can start asap.

[Paddy]

paddythescot ta gmail tod com :D

game on :b:


oh have we looked at play order yet?

[Charles_Bronson]

Unless order matter, this turn order is nice for me.

Paddy the Scot: Elizabeth of the England
Charles Bronson: Saladin of Arabia
Platypus Rex: Alexander of Greek
James the Scot: Julius Caesar of Rome
SebP: Malinese
McMeadows: Random
Grandpa Troll: Catherine of Russia
Bigfree: ???

I don´t know how to create the map with this starting pack! :idiot:

So I leave it to you Paddy! :unworthy:

[Paddy]

Ok I personally think we need to look over the game order a bit old chap :D

will come back with a suggestion soon :)

[Paddy]

Ok, my suggestion is

Brazil - Charles Bronson: Saladin of Arabia
Central US of A - Grandpa Troll: Catherine of Russia
West Coast US of A - Bigfree: ???
West Coast US of A - Platypus Rex: Alexander of Greek
East Coast Australia - James the Scot: Julius Caesar of Rome
East Coast Australia - Paddy the Scot: Elizabeth of the England
The Netherlands - McMeadows: Random
Germany - SebP: Malinese


Starting in Brazil with Mr Bronson, then straight up the world to the Friendly Troll ;)... puttering across the map to the two West Coast Auto boys, so they can Pimp the Ride :naughty: next stop Hawaii for some gogo joice before the save arrives with James. James already plays a few games while I at work, thus saves here when I get home. So to I already send several games to Mac :D so we have a good flow pattern there. Then the sacred save came follow the rivers into Germany for our man Seb :b: then back to the old trail of off to Brazil again ;)

[SebP]

Charles, i'll sent you an email with the modified xml-file + instructions how to use it.

Also, everybody should check on his first turn if he has 3 settlers and 3 warriors. if mcmeadows or bigfrees random civ turns out as incan, it should be 3 quechas obviously

last, for mcmeadows: my email adress is das DOT letzte DOT theorem AT gmx DOT de

PS: Perhaps it would be good to edit all the adresses into the first post of the thread once published

[SebP]

also, i'm cool with raging barbs. if only so that we even get any despite the 3 settlers

Rivers flow into the sea in general. The Rhine is no exception. :D

Nonetheless, I catch your flow. Seems to be best to have you automatically send saves to me. Those deliveries always come through, even if it takes a year.. :D

game on...

:lol: cheeky fella ;)

and wow... things really must be different north of the equator... see we have these things called boats and also cables... these two devices allow us to send items and information up a river - well actually, and I do not want to freak you out on this, but we can send things in both directions :D

have a nice day :viking:


now play ya save :b:

[SebP]

oh, and anyone starting with hunting will get a scout and 2 warriors

[SebP]

and another one. there's a problem. it seems my solution requires the "mod" to be loaded whenever a game is loaded. this seems stupid, since after turn 1 its really all in the savegames anyways in this case. but civ4 works this way.

so, i say on the first turn everyone should send the modded file + instructions to the next player along with the saves.

also, if too many people think it's too much of a hassle to have the game (automatically) restart on loading the save, we could drop the settler thing... but i don't think that will be necessary

well, my 2 cents worth, I have had nothing but problems using a mod

I even had problems when I modded single player in a game with Vovan the results came across into his save

I really dont want a modded game as I am in so many wonderful games, I will back out if it has to be modded

Thanks for the offer thou

Gramps

[SebP]

there might be another solution that doesn't require loading a mod each time, i'll see how that goes

if it doesn't work, we could still just use the industrial start to speed things up. i don't like it though. i would play, but i'd rather play ancient

I agree...

lets just get an ancient start happening - a good normal game thus less bugs :D

[SebP]

ok. grandpa you won't be needing to load a mod ever... the solution was off course obvious... i'm just posting too fast (i sure hope i didn't this time)
if bronson just copies the single modified file over his original before he sets up the game and restores it to the original right after, noone will need to use civ4s modloader, since the only change is really the number of starting units, which will be hitherto be in the savegames, there shouldn't be any problems if we play with the original files and just use the modifications for setting it up

[Grandpa Troll]

:b:

[Charles_Bronson]

right, I´ll do it now.

[Charles_Bronson]

one question: how do I setup the players name? Are all human in main menu!! :idiot:

the mod is working fine! :D

[SebP]

the button left to the name

[Charles_Bronson]

ok, game started fine :D


But what is the adress of GrandPa´s mail??

[Charles_Bronson]

:eek:

well, I just did what was told me to.

Copied the file over my new, configured the game, played my turn, send the .sav and them backuped my old file.

The game was normal, three warriors, three settlers and no problems. :(

What we do now guys?

Just asking because I saw this happen in another game

The player did a "MANUAL SAVE" instead of pressing the end turn flashing icon on lower middle right?

Just asking

[Charles_Bronson]

I think not. :hmmm:

grandPa, to be sure, i`ve loaded the autosave, played again and now im resending you.

Ill offer this quote, as I am in a LOT of games and have tried several with Mods and had to do a complete reinstall because of problems associated with modding

I would say NO MODS unless of course someone can figure a way around this issue

[Charles_Bronson]

I will create again WITHOUT the mod, ok?

Many people complained about the modding, and anyway it will broke the game balance (organized civs will have good starting bonuses).

I will just wait until I hear some people...

Well

This is the message I get when I try to open it:q:

[Charles_Bronson]

But i´ve tested in my system with no problem!!!
(not your save, of course)

This is your save, i´ve opened it now, with no problems.


See what you lose, only 5 resources near your city.
:eek:

Obviously we will have a remake.

Can you test your system grandpa? maybe a mod is loaded! Can you check? Or reinstall the Civ IV?

[Grandpa Troll]

look at my post count
almost 21000 posts
about half are civiv
I think that test the system

no other games are having problems
how exactly should I perform this test:lol:

[Charles_Bronson]

Sorry. I just don´t know what to do :(

The only thing now is find a third person to test the file.

[Charles_Bronson]

working on it now. This will taking a moment.

No garantees.

[James]

Charles, I too have that error in games I have started. Only solution I have that works is to restart that game :)

[Paddy]

yeah me too. NYE and I tried for hours the other night to work around this - solution - restart the game :D

[Charles_Bronson]

I think i´ve owned it. Try this test save, and tell me you three the results.

[James]

Could you email it to me? mungobrush ___ gmail ___ com

[Paddy]

Originally posted by Charles_Bronson

No same issue here :(

[Charles_Bronson]

ok, now tell me: the game folder you downloaded the file and installed the game, is FAT32 or NTFS?

[James]

fat32 I think :)

[Paddy]

Is Fat32 on my machine :D

[Charles_Bronson]

Good, this was expected! There is an issue if you make a .sav file from a NTFS system, and try to load it on a FAT32 system.


I´ve converted my entire system now to NTFS
(took 5 minutes i think).

I will send you now the FAT32 old file i´ve sent to Grandpa (the same that didn´t work) so you can test it too.

[James]

Will try again.

[James]

Crashed my system with same error. :(

Very interesting....I wonder if Firaxix know about this and applied a fix in the latest forthcoming patch. :)

Certainly is a pain in the arse. :lol:

CB, shouldn't you send him a NTFS saved file? This is of course if PTS has a NTFS system.

[BigFree]

I'm chatting with CB on Messenger now...

[James]

Good luck to you all in testing this.

[BigFree]

Yeah, we'll need it! :lol:

[Paddy]

In msn chat now with BigFree and Mr Bronson :D

[James]

/me sticks his head up hoping all is well.

[Charles_Bronson]

Ok, the bug is "fixed".

[SebP]

*yawn*... morning. oh. wow. where do all these posts come from? so, what was the reason for the bug? in any case, i give up on the settler thing if it is so much unwanted.

eagerly awaiting my turn. i hope i don't get the arctic start...

[James]

An Artic start would be unfun :D

[BigFree]

The bug, it seems, was in that you cannot input an "Admin" password when you make the save for the first time.

[Paddy]

it sucks indeed....

and as per that we may need to start a password register for games...

[Addled Platypus]

my e addy is located in the sig

[Grandpa Troll]

and onto BigFree:D

[BigFree]

[Addled Platypus]

what needed to be done ?

[Paddy]

is that screen from when you opened your save to play Plat?

[Charles_Bronson]

oh no, not again :/

[Paddy]

sure hope not :(

[Grandpa Troll]

P Rex

come toward the light:(

[Charles_Bronson]

Ok, I talked with paddy again and so we have three options:

1) Ask if the BigFree and Platypus rex have FAT32 systems, and ask if they could convert to NTFS. This problem is due to a file modification that occur when converting the file to one system to another. Note that the problem MAY still appear. The game will probably be recreated.

2) Wait for a patch.

3) Remake the game and pray a lot. See, if this restart occurs, I will reinstall my game.

(I vote for 1 if possible, if not 3)

I ask now to you, older, wiser and more experienced friends! What shall we do? :unworthy:

but will that modification screw up all the other games I am in?

I would rather not tempt fate

[SebP]

my emailadress is in this thread somewhere. but here it is again: das DOT letzte DOT theorem AT gmx DOT de

now that the game is finally moving, i would also like to suggest that ALL players email adresses be put in the very first post of the thread, so that one doesn't have to ask here publicly about adresses for email-diplomacy.

well, since diplomacy before contact is (or in my opinion should be) a "no" anyways one could always ask for them ingame, but it would still be good to have them all compiled in one place

No worries on that arctic start... Japan won't build a Titanic either, as icebergs have been spotted of our coast.

Iceberg... wonderfull word by the way. "berg" is Dutch for "mountain".

I am not interested in Civ III games anymore. Nice of you to offer,

[Paddy]

ahhh have a go James... it can't kill ya :lol:

[James]

Platypus Rex, I will swear off it. At the moment I carry my cIV discs around with me, so I can play at work and University. It is too hard to take along a whole extra game and still be productive at these places.

[Paddy]

wheres ya commitment? ;)

[James]

What's a commitment?

[Paddy]

a commitment is the button that holds ya jacket together on a cold and windy day :lol:

[James]

I always call them buttons. See you are old!

Don´t panic, but i´ve found this warning message:

The game proceeded without any error. Sent the game to grandpa, anyway.
Any idea?

[SebP]

i installed a no-dvd crack yesterday before playing the turn because frankly i hate having to insert the dvd for playing a single pbem turn. i doubt that this caused the message, but if it occurs again on the next turn, i guess i'll go back to using the dvd and see what happens

how the h### you do that so fast ? :unworthy:

[James]

Blame Paddy. :conspire: He runs classes in the need to play your saves asap and get them onto the next person. Something about how they may be available soon, and if you take your time you might miss them for another day, even for another three days. Then the game slows down. A slow game is as good as a dead game.

yeah yeah all my fault :wall:
