Fixed Diplomatic Game

[King Thor]

Hmm.. a dman good analysis Aaginor. I'm confused too now. If Stavros can get it working, but you and billhq cant.. I dunno, thats wierd.
Lets hope thebirdman will be able to play it.

[Stavros]

I've got the German version as well, so thats not the problem. Ahhh... Was I the last person to have the last working turn. If so, I will play it again, and resend it. It might work this time...

[Keygen]

I have played turn 0 for all the players and I ...have succeeded to normaly save the turn from the "END" button! I will try to do the same think on another computer tomorrow to figure out if this has to do with the German version or not.

[Aaginor]

That is a silly problem! Damn damn damn! At first, we need a person to blame, so we can lower our frustration ...
Secondly, I would recomend a new clean startup. Everyone should install the scenario first (BTW: maybe somebody should explain, how to apply a scenario-game. As for me, I do not know, how to handle it)
After everyone have installed the scenario, start again and see what happens. As I think, that the problem is somewhere in the savegame and only occures at some machines, continuing would be very problematic.

Aaginor

BTW: Is there any support from activision, that could help us out?

[bilhq]

Hi, It seem that you have to find a replacement for me.
See you in another game.

[Krzysztof]

I suggest you use "1.2 hack" path instead of "1.2" ...
Meybe it will help you...

[King Thor]

Aaginor did you send the turn to TheBirdMan?

And if you did

TheBirdMan: Were you able to play the turn or did it crash with you as well?

Lets get this game going again.. come on people.

[Aaginor]

No, Bilhq!

The problem is nor you, the problem is the savegame (so I think). I think you need to restart anyway, as I postet a day ago.

[Krzysztof]

I think, that we can use AI, istead of player with save game problem... , but it is little not fair solution...

[Stavros]

Who had the last valid turn? I would recommend that he replay this turn, and see if the problem goes away. Some turn's just don't work the first time. I have encountered this many times.

[Aaginor]

King Thor,

I sent the turn to The Bird Man. I do not know, if he already tried to play it.

[Keygen]

I have played the saved turn 0 for all the players in another machine than the one were I had created the senario and played well. I have sent turn 1 to Thor just in case the turn which Aaginor has sent to TheBirdMan won't work and by this way might work. And Aaginor it would be really difficult to recreate the scenario as I should start over and would take me a day or so .

[King Thor]

KeyGen : Why dont you email me the way in which you created the PBEM game (be as complete as you can) .. I'll try to create the game and host it myself. I'll use the same map you emailed us all. Or better, email me that map again, I'll make tiny changes to it ( no changes in land mass, maybe just add an extra river tile to all the civs, or something like that, and launch the game. What do you think?

I ofcourse have had no problems with the game, TheBirdMan hasn't posted his experience with the map, so we dont know where the problem lies. Its true that billhq and Aaginor have no trouble with other maps, but how come Stavros was able to play that turn, and none of us have had a problem??

Wierd, I'm going to try and get in touch with TheBirdMan so that we can get further info on how the game reacted when he played the turn.

[King Thor]

Okay Turn 1 -> Zulus

===

I hope it works on billhq's system.

[TheBirdMan]

Sorry fellows.

Didn't know I was in that game too.

As to King Thors post of 22nd., I should replace Keygen - but he is certainly back. That's why I didn't react on the turnpost I had received some times ago.

Tell me if I'm still in - and what I'm doing there.
