PBEM 8: E-mail & Technical Issues

[Cjreynol]

I'd say fixing it, I just feel like balance is key. We at least have all other problems worked out so we know this should be good

[Shoot the Moon]

Well that's three votes for waiting and fixing it, so I won't play the save that was sent to me.

Oh and Cjreynol, you still haven't joined PBEMtracker.

[WarriorKnight]

Sorry, should have posted that I think we should fix it too.

[Tatan]

OK, since the consensus is for fixing it, late Saturday/early Sunday [whenever I get back] I will fix the problem, and start the game.

I sincerely apologize for holding the game up; the edit itself is very minor, but I happened to go on vacation literally two or three hours before the discovery was made. Sigh...

[T-hawk]

I don't suppose you or the first player has the worldbuilder save available? If so then anyone could fix it, such as me...?

[WarriorKnight]

I only have the starting save, so if it's possible to fix it using only that then I could send it to you so you can edit it. If not then the only person with the worldbuilder file appears to be Tatan who can't access it ATM, which is why we've stopped.

@T-Hawk: In addition to the corrupted up-to-date WB file, I also have an older version on my laptop [which I have with me]; I think all the map work [except for the critical fix, obviously] is done, but the team order needs to be arranged to be the same as the playing order, and I think the starts still need to be randomized. Plus, there are some visibility issues that need to be corrected, which I only know how to do in Civilization's WorldBuilder itself; otherwise I would just re-edit the XML file.

If you are desperately looking for something to work on, though, I can email it to you.

[T-hawk]

Ok. I'd rather not try to mess around with that many edits then.

When the game was started, was an admin password set? If there was (blank doesn't work), then WB can be accessed during a multiplayer game to edit the tile directly. I could try that with a current or starting save if there is an admin password?

[Shoot the Moon]

We didn't set an admin password, as it was causing PC to Mac problems. Thanks for all the offers of help though; they are definitely appreciated.
