Pitboss 41 IT and Tech Issues Thread

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

You would need to download the pitboss save and then play it locally with your computer acting as a server and play in pitboss mode. In the setup for the pitboss mode you just kick everyone else to AI. The IP address needs to be localhost. But there is probably a password for the game and I don't have that, nor access to the save.

I would like to adopt the practice of posting pitboss saves from the concession turn after games. This could make for some interesting variant playthroughs during typical down times (Christmas comes to mind) and some good challenges, depending on which civ you try to rescue against AIs. I'm not sure if we would want to do this retroactively given password issues but going forward when setting up games let's keep this in mind when selecting a password (pick something random that can be shared after the game).

Thanks, BGN! I'll try to do that in a few days, after I get back home, too busy now to focus on that. I want to ask not to take the game down, if possible, until then.
How do you download a pitboss save?

I think one of the admins would have to send it to you somehow, with the password. And there is probably the rub. Formerly it was whoever had access to Cal's server. Now you'd probably have to message Ramkhamhaeng and then get the password from whoever set up the game.

I see, thanks!

Hello Gavagai,

gaining a PB-Save is pretty easy. Just press Ctrl+S if you are logged in
But I would suggest you wait a few hours/days. I will prepare an
password-less save. This and only this can be loaded as normal MP-Game which releases you from the work to setup a Pitboss game.

Could someone give me more information about the winner? Which victory type is it? I need it to show a proper victory message on PBSpy.

I'll wait for a more convenient save then. Thank you for your effort.

Ok, here is the final save of the game
I've removed all player passwords and the admin password in the attached file.

To continue the game locally you could load it over following way:

Multiplayer > Direct IP Game > Load game > Select save > Select Civ > Enable 'Ready' checkbox > Start.
The ingame connection error message could be ignored.

I could not provide the start save because I does not own it.


Edit: Attached second save with disabled timer.

This is pretty cool. Is there any way that someone has access to do the same for PB38? I am pretty sure that Ramkhamhaeng won't have access to that save, but that is one game I'd like to play out.

Good game all, and congrats to Rusten/Hitru!

Thanks for doing this.  If I knew how to strip passwords out of saves I could probably do this for any number of other games that ended by concession.  Those might be fun single player games to play out, coming from behind.

I have attached the start save for PB41.
