T-hawk Wrote:Mardoc asked me via PM for help here, but afraid that I haven't got much helpful experience. I'm guessing that Hyborem, if not taken over by the summoning player, becomes an AI? If so, then I do think you can convert that AI to a new human by using the Pitboss approach. Host the save as a Pitboss, have Darrell connect to it, and choose Hyborem from the civ list. He'll be prompted to create a password. Save again (not sure whether you should do this from within Pitboss or if Darrell should do this from the client) and load that new save back as PBEM.
To do the above, the AI Takeover game option needs to be on. If it's not, I was able to modify the standard game DLL to turn it on, and might be able to do the same with the FFH DLL.
That sounds fairly straightforward. I believe I'm hosting now, at 108.16.83.198 . Darrelljs, could you give connecting a try? Preferably both you save and I save so we can try the other if the first approach doesn't work?
I won't lose my turn by doing this, will I?

Dang, I was afraid of that. I'm hunting for my router's manual and password now. Or, well, has anyone else already enabled the appropriate stuff for allowing the connection through for other games, so I can just play and pass it on to someone?

Ok, I've opened up what I think is the Civ-relevant port, 2056. Mind trying again?

I've got no attachment to doing this myself, I just want it sorted so we can move on with the game. Yeah, it might be easier for someone who's already hosted a pitboss to make it work  . Assuming you can talk him into it.
Edit: you should be able to get the save from here: http://www.mistbinder.org/pbem3tracker.php

I sent sunrise089 a message to help.
I should confirm, this is patch O with the zombie fix, right?
