You send me the savegame and let's do a test. my email address: intel686@tpg.com.au

Turn sent.

A most troubling event has occurred... still 4000BC/turn 0 and my warrior hasnt built any turns either. I tried my turn again with the fog of war off and i noticed the AI take another turn after mine, but it shouldve been 3rd after intel. Seems like the turn just never ends, only for the AI.

I searched for this all over and i couldnt find anyone else mentioning this. I thought someone wouldve tested it by now. But then it never was officially part of the game so

[Maquiladora]

In fact this problem was mentioned, here Thatll teach me not to skim over a thread. Anyway its all trivial now Looks like MP or CtP1 PBEM.

That means playing PBEM game with ctp2 is impossible? That's it???

Unfortunately, yes. Unless Locutus had better luck in testing PBEM, i assumed thats why he started working on a fix for the human to human diplomacy, because he knew PBEM worked.

What if you got one AI in the game?

Hot seat works fine for me.

[Maquiladora]

The test me and intel686 did, had one AI in the game. It was 3 players, the AI was the last player.

Funny thing was, i started the game and sent it, intel played his turn then sent it back to me, i played my second turn, but when i looked at the map after my second turn (because it hadnt worked) the AI had already played 2 turns.

[Maquiladora]

Yeah, hotseat works fine, except for the human to human diplomacy. Maybe thats where Locutus focused his testing for it, rather than PBEM.

Try playing with this code :

Trigger 'PBEM_ActuallyEndTurn' on "ControlPanelWindow.TurnButton" when (1) {
	Event: EndTurn(g.player);	
}

if does not work or strange things happen try this other one (They should geve the same effect but we are desperate and trying every thing, arent we?)

Trigger 'PBEM_ActuallyEndTurn2' on "ControlPanelWindow.TurnButton" when (1) {
	EndTurn();	
}

My fingers are crossed to give luck

Keep me informed.

[Maquiladora]

Okay the first one got an error, expected int_t on line 2 i think, or something similar, and it wouldnt load a game.

Second one didnt have any noticeable effect.

[Pedrunn]

Try this them

Trigger 'PBEM_ActuallyEndTurn' on "ControlPanelWindow.TurnButton" when (1) {
int_t tmpPlayer;
	tmpPlayer = g.player;
                Event: EndTurn(tmpPlayer);	
}

We could always play hotseat, and manually save and mail the turn at the end. Closing our eyes to what the other civs are doing... But it's not really the best solution.

[Maquiladora]

Pedrunn that one didnt work either. Although i noticed it flashed the "end turn" button straight away for player 2.

Can you actually save the game while it waits for the next player to "sit down" in hotseat? Ill see... (edit: no u cant )

D@mn, D@mn ,D@mn !!! Oh well, I was gonna give CTP1 PBEM a try anyway... I know its the wrong forum, but is anyone here interested in starting a game up of CTP1 PBEM with me?
