Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

I turned the mod off and loaded my pretender. When he came out of dormancy I got "Dert has drowned!". I need to resend or bow out.... Stupid stupid me.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

It was an honest mistake, and I think we should restart. If we use the fixed starting position map, does it still use the same.tga file? Do we players need to download anything? Or does the .trn file map data include everything we need?

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

let's restart guys.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

yep lets restart

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Sounds good to me. I saw a fixed start map when I started the game, but I don't know where to DL it. I'm going to look around and see what I can figure out.

.....edit: We can't DL the map. Apparently we just need the regular map file we already have. The server randomly assigns us to the hand picked, balanced start positions.

I didn't realize that I could delete the original game, so I started a new one. Send your pretenders to DeadlyMedley2, instead.

I probably could have done this restart better and kept the same name. Oh well. Learning experience and all that.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Yeah, there's even a bonus new admin option which allows you to take a newly started game and take it back to the "Waiting for pretenders" stage, keeping all the pretenders, called "Restart game" I think. As you say though, all a learning experience, I think people had gotten used to the old set of options. Hmm, I really should update the FAQ soon, as it's horribly out of date.

Also, you're right about the map, you don't need to download it.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

Ok, where did Arcosephale come from? Did someone switch factions? Not a problem but I really should be kept up to date on this stuff.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

heh

did you manage to get all 12? it has been a while since i've played a game, and haven't ever done EA MP, and would be happy to send in some simple helheim pretender if you're missing someone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

You can probably get in. I'll keep you posted. Don't disappear for a couple three days, though, or we may start without you. There have already been far too many delays in this game.

Re: New EA game: DeadlyMedley
 

yah... i'm around. got the next few months off hopefully http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

easy for me to upload a helheim pretender on a moment's notice... maybe i'll look at some of the other options too.

If you have an opening... i'm sure there'll be another game starting sometime if you don't http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
