  • Sealurk Alert -Turn Tracking thread

    This is a 4 player Smax MP game with the following cast of characters and turn order


    Flubber University sharris4141@yahoo.com
    Smartfart Morganites rozovko@inet.hr
    NorthSwordsman Spartans northswordsman@yahoo.com
    Gregurabi Peacekeepers greg@wooledge.org

    The AI are the Spartans, gaians and Consciousness or as Googlie referred to them, the "three witches"

    The moderator is googlie linfrew@aol.com . As a reminder, the rules to be used are as follows:


    Do or Die: eliminated players are not restarted

    Spoils of War off

    Non-Blind (directed) research

    No random events

    All victory conditions allowed including cooperative

    Unity survey off - map is unknown

    Look first on
    Normal starting conditions


    PBEM specific rules/restrictions on exploiting bugs:
    Multiple reloading of the game to try for different effects is forbidden.

    Multiple drops or orbital insertions using the right-click menu is forbidden.

    Inserting Stockpile Energy into the build queue after a military unit is forbidden.

    If a player employs a tactic that causes a state of vendetta, they are not allowed to "accept" a pending diplomatic agreement with that faction, causing a change in diplomatic status or the transfer of energy or knowledge.

    If a probe team action is employed against a Treatied or Pacted faction, the initiator must choose the "Declare Vendetta" option, unless permission is received in advance for the action (email).

    Upgrading units with the design workshop is allowed at end of turn only.

    Communications only allowed between factions that have obtained each others' commlink frequencies in-game.

    Social engineering choice limited to one switch per line per turn. (no flip-flop within turn!)

    Psi units cannot be assigned multiple point patrol routes (avoid instant demon boil bug!)

    No base trading with the AI.

    Reverse engineering of units is permitted with the exception of engineering rovers from the probe team rover chassis.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I believe that that is all for now so I will send along the turn to Smartfart when I get it from googlie

      Turn 2101 to Smartfart


      Note that I found the graphics were "off" since I appeared as the consciousness colors and in the diplomacy screens. The morganites and spartans had their correct colors and graphics but the PKs appeared to be like the Drones.

      I do not mind this bug and would tend to play through it BUT if anyone has a problem with this effect I am sure we could try to get it fixed.

      This type of bug does not affect gameplay at all except to the extent you have to reorient your thinking as to what the colors mean. In another game I am in, the Cult is white and I have gotten used to seeing ZAKs face in the diplomacy screen even thouggh I am dealing with the prophet and the title on the comm screen indicates it is the prophet. All the titles remain correct to the true faction, it is only the graphics that are switched.

      So play on or try to get this fixed?

        Anyway...I don't care being white as Morgan,but if you really insist to fix it...go ahead as long as I don't have anything to do

        Cheers.

          It happens on nearly all smax games that are scenarioed - apparently a fix exists that involves rejigging the faction graphics, but neither Tau nor I have ever learned how - most of the AXT series have this "feature."

          When I set up the game and set the pods etc in pace, all the faction graphics were correct - and they are correct when I playtest the twenty or so turns as well (I understand it has something to do with the factions played in the last game that each individual player played - they carry forward in the .ini file)
