No pressure, but is there a rough ETA for this starting?

[spacetyrantxenu]

I sent the map to Sunrise yesterday, you're at his mercy now.

[Commodore]

You all better hope he hurries, if its this evening and I still have no map I'm going to...Build. A. Sandbox!

Fear.

[Thoth]

Just a reminder:

Also: I'm going to need a pause over Easter weekend from Good Friday morning 'til Easter Sunday evening.

I told a few players via chat, but I tried to get this hosted tonight, but the events and civ/leader settings are wrong. Events is trivial for me to fix, but the civ/leader combos (which are currently restricted) are embedded in the scenario so that will need to be fixed on the map-maker's end.

[Mardoc]

Editted Xenu's file from the mapmaking thread to have unrestricted leaders and no events, and sent it to you, Sunrise. Hope that works.

I'd be grateful if a mod could make this the first post in this thread

This is the IT and Tech Issues Thread for RBP19, the newest 'vanilla' pitboss game here at Realms Beyond.

The game is now live. If this is your first time connecting please read this entire post carefully. Text in Red will be of interest to veterans.

Access the game via DirectIP connection to sunrise089.dyndns.org:2061. No password is needed (nor will one permit a successful connection) when connecting to the game. Make 100% sure there are no spaces in the field or you'll get an error. Spaces love to crop up unexpectedly, so please double-check this before posting that you can't connect.

The first time a player logs into the game they will be asked to set and confirm a password. This is non-trivial to change, so please make sure you know what it is, can remember it, etc.

In-game you can play as normal. This game is played via simultaneous turns, so you can queue unit actions and builds like normal, even after you end turn. I get asked sometimes, so I'll note you press TAB to chat in-game. When you're done playing please log out via Exit to Main Menu, not Exit to Desktop (which can create connectivity/lag issues).

I have set a 48 hour timer per team for the first turn. Starting next turn the timer will switch to 24 in-game hours. Of course in the future the timer can be tweaked according to the wishes of the players.

This game uses Civstats to track the turns and other info. This game is here. If you want to register via Civstats and claim your civ the password for each civ is "sirian."

From now on, please let me know if you have any technical concerns in this thread. I can be reached infrequently via forum PM, and easily via email at sunrise089 at gmail dot com and IM at sunrise089 on either AIM or GChat.

Thanks for hosting us Sunrise.

Just Oxy left to play turn 0.

@everyone: What's the over/under for the final post count in Gasparbot's spam thread?

125 posts before the first turn?

[Commodore]

Agreed, thanks for hosting Sunrise. But, um...not be a whiner, but going from Standard to Large kind of screws me hardcore. Was it intended, Xenu? If it's part of the plan for the map I'll take my lumps I guess.

[pindicator]

Whoah did not realize that (or think to check F8). Yeah, not a fan of higher tech costs than advertised but I'll make do
