Yeah, with the image file alone you can join games, but not host them (or play single player, which is a subset of hosting). It works for me if you download the map file.

And having checked that map, can I just say - holy shit, some of those water provinces have a lot of connections.

Just one Pretender to go now for the game to start. Bann / EA Arco being the missing player.

I usually like to start games manually once all the Pretender are in, so that I can do a final check that everything is as it should be. But I will switch auto-start on overnight, and trust that no uninvited guests pinch the last place should the 10th Pretender come in while I'm asleep. (as sometimes random people upload Pretenders to games they have not joined)

I seem to be having issues getting the CBM 1.82 with some fixes out of it's folder, it says an unexpected error has occured and is stopping the operation. I've tried getting it out with a multitude of programs including 7-zip, Extractnow and Winrar, but it says it's a bad file. So if you could point me to somewhere else I could download it from that would be great, thanks.

Ok, try this...(this is the .dm file, so just place in your mods folder. No unpacking needed)

Please can you all let me know asap if you have any problems downloading the mods or maps. And now that the game has started, can someone please confirm that there were no 1st turn cheating messages along the lines of "Nation X has a Pretender that is too powerful". I doubt one has appeared, but it be good to know now if one did (so I can restart) rather than later.

I initially had trouble with the mod, but I was able to get it open using 7zip (win7 here)

I've downloaded and checked out the turn file, and all looks well.

Going to have to drop out due to a real life emergency, I'm afraid. I haven't played my first turn yet, but pretender is uploaded.

Oh dear, good luck with your emergency Wolfsbane. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Sorry to hear that Wolfsbane. Hope it's nothing too serious, and that everything works out ok. (and no problem about needing to drop either. RL always comes first).

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

@ All

I'm going to advertise for a replacement player for Wolfsbane, and will very likely un-start the game so the new player can select their own choice of nation and Pretender design (since it's a bit unfair to have both of those forced on a new player from turn 1).

I hope it won't take too long to find another player, but your patience would be appreciated during the wait.

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

Edit - Update

A player (Ianh) has now come forward to take Wolfsbane's place. So I will shortly be rolling the game back to the Pretedner upload stage so that Ianh can select a nation and upload a Pretender (I should have just sent you all an email regarding this).

Hopefully this game will restart sometime over the weekend :)

Another Update.

Well it seems when I rolled the game back to the "waiting for Pretenders" stage, the game restarted automatically (which I'm guessing meant you all got sent 1st turn files again), and just for good measure, it now seems to have changed my password as well. So I have now lost control of the game :(

I am waiting for the server to update, to see if that solves the problem. If not, then I will contact llamabeast to see if he can reset my password. (or I'll just create a new game if llamabeast isn't able to do that this weekend).

This game appears to be heading down the slightly cursed road right now :unsure: :blink: Hopefully it can be brought back on the right path though :)

CBM 1.83 has just been released, so it's probably a good idea to use that for this game now (since at first glance I can't see any real changes from 1.82 that will affect any nations here)

I'm still waiting to hear back from llamabeast about my changed passwords. I'll likely give it until tomorrow (as I'm out for large parts of today), and if notihng, then I'll just create a new game and ask you all to upload your Pretenders again.

Thanks for your effort, Calahan.

I suggest not waiting though, just start a new game with CBM 1.83 to make a clean start and increase the chance of getting it running this weekend.

I need llamabeast to post a link to 1.83 first :)

(as if I create a game without mods, and try to add CBM 1.83 later, then I get a llamaserver error. Since it was this exact problem that I encountered with the "A_Nicer_Shade_Of_Green" game that is currently sitting on top of the llamaserver game list, when I created it before uploading my "CBM 1.82 with some fixes" mod :()

But I will try and get this game up as soon as I can.

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

Edit - Update

Ok, llamabeast has posted the file for 1.83 so I will get a new game up shortly. I've also been PM-ed on shrapnel from another new player looking for a game, so I see no reason not to allow him to play given the restart. So please all welcome bbz as Marverni.

Another player helps the map balance as well, as there are 181 Land, and 18 Water provinces. So with a 10-1 split, that now means 18 provinces each. I'll need to re-do the map, but I should have time for that tomorrow, and that won't (:Calahan crosses fingers, touches wood, purchases numerous lucky items:) affect you guys being able to upload Pretenders in the mean time.

Although just to be on the safe side, can I please ask you all to recreate your Pretenders using the just released CBM 1.83. Which can be found here.

I don't think anything has changed with the Pretenders to cause a problem, but I can't see any point in taking the risk.
