AST Mod 1.92 and other mods on PBW

General Woundwort · #1 June 30th, 2003, 06:55 PM

In regards to our PM discussion on this topic -

I hadn't planned on making any changes while the game was running, but (not having done this before) maybe this is something has to be done.

I have nothing in principle against running the game on my home terminal, but am unsure about the mechanics of doing it this way.

And if I do run it at home, what role does the PBW site play?

If you are confident the mod is good in it's current form then I have no problem setting it up as a mod. My impression from your PM comments was you were setting this up as a "test gaem" for the mod. And test to me means that you want to work ou tthe bugs and make changes based on that. If you are just wanting it for a game using your new mod and aren't planning changes I can set it up no problem.

If you ran the turns offline though you can still use PBW to collect the .plr files and distribute the turns. It's not neccesary, you could do it straight PBEM. But some people find it conveienent to use PBW even for games where the turns are run offline.

Ah, I see the problem. When I said "test game", I meant a test of strategies and play mechanics. I know how the game goes when I play it, but I want to see how others play it, and what things show up as far as play balance is concerned. I hope to have all the real "bugs" weeded out before I announce the game (probably this weekend).

Does that help?

Hey guys, he has one more update due out sometime soon. I would talk to him about it before making the game an offical mod for PBW.

someone is going to have to show me a link to a full Version of that mod they want used, not a patched Version

www.astmod.com BUT EMAIL cncraymond@astmod.com and ask him when the latest update will be finished. He mentioned that it was almost finished.

Yes. If that's the case then I will get it setup for you and you can let PBW run the turns.
