[TruePraetorian]

Here is where we upload our turns and that is pretty much it.

In this first upload I included the needed genericScript.txt.

Here is it at Filefront..I don't know where the onsite uploader went..

http://files.filefront.com/EBPBeM+272+2+Romerar/;13073034;/fileinfo.html

Also, NO diplomacy is to be used on the first turn. Read the "Rules and Confirmation thread" for the reason.

EDIT:
So, everyone should download this and put the genericScript.txt into the appropriate spot.

And in case there is some confusion, here is the turn order:

1.Rome
2.Saka
3.Arverni
4.Saba
5.Makedonia
6.Ptolemaioi
7.Arche Seleukideia
8.Karthadast
9.Pahlava
10.Pontos
11.Aedui
12.Sweboz
13.Casse
14.Hayasdan
15.Getai
16.Koinon Hellenon
17.Baktria
18.Sauromatae
19.Lusotannan
20.Epeiros

[The Celtic Viking]

Sorry it took so much time, but once I realized this had started I noticed that I had some problems and tried reinstalling it without success, tried redownloading the whole shabang... before I realized that the "problem" was simply that my backup clean 1.2 folder, which I copied to make the PBeM install, was configured for MP and not SP. :embarassed:

Anyway, here's the next one: EBPBeM-272-2-Arverni.rar (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=193&id=4362)

[davepyne]

I am playing as the Getai. When it comes to my turn do I just download the Hayasdan save file and load that to go forward? I assume that I can ignore all the other quicksaves that are posted before that point. Is this correct?

[The Celtic Viking]

Yes.

Yes, except we have no Hay player. You go after Pontos.

Uhh, I will be leniant since it is the first turn...but this was uploaded more then 24 hours ago so your turn time should be up.

I'll give it a few more hours before we skip you this time around :sad:

EDIT: Makedonia's turn (Mjolnir) in case it was unclear. The turn was uploaded 13:13 GMT-5 for me (Eastern US) and it is nearly 16:00..I will give it until 18:00 and then we will unfortunately skip.

And since this is a "warning", I will not be as leniant on anyone else. Maybe an hour, tops, but 24 hours is plenty of time to at least PM and and notify if you can't post up your turn. I really don't want this game to end prematurely :smile:

[Subotan]

Send a PM/email to them if they miss a turn, and remind them that their forgetfullness inconviences a lot of other people.

[TruePraetorian]

Yeah i will do that, but still at 23:00GMT the next player should download the save and take his turn.

To do this: When you load up the Quicksave, activate both scripts and hit end turn.

Make sure you activate the EBBS script by pressing O instead of scrolling to and clicking on a city (so you don't see any map information since the screen starts in the top left corner.)

[Subotan]

Ok. I presume that you download it into EB saves? And what's this about quicksaves?

[Mjolnir]

My bad fellows, I completely didn't see the edited turn order in the OP and didn't realize that it was my turn. I'll download it now.

[Mjolnir]

WTF!?!? Why is manage all settlements turned off?

Here's the save: PBeM-272-2-Makedonia (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=193&id=4369)

As I have said before, your faction is basically AI until you take your turn. This means that at the start of everyones turn, all of their factions cities will be on automanage...there is nothing we can do about this since the AI uses it too. I also said that it isnt a problem at all, just a nuisance. The AI only turns automanage on at the start of the turn.

[TruePraetorian]

Ok. I presume that you download it into EB saves? And what's this about quicksaves?

The Quicksave.sav is the file that the PBeM script generator creates. This is the file you put in EB/saves and load it to start your turn.

[Skullheadhq]

Great news. I'll upload my savegame in a few hours ok?
EDIT:
Here is it:http://files.filefront.com/PBeM+272+2+Ptolemaioisa

I just saw Hax's post and he asked why he had 33000mnai...I got rid of money bonuses so he must not have changed the scripts around.

That means someone before you didn't change the scripts around. Kind of the reason I had the whole confirmation thread thing.

And how does the AI manage to play, if it doesn't have the money script?

[TruePraetorian]

The game was originally intended for all human players. And you don't have the scripts changed..that is the original script not the one a made.

[Subotan]

Oh right, bugger. I'll change right away.

[TruePraetorian]

Oh right, bugger. I'll change right away.

Also, about the AI, see my post in the Rules thread.

[davepyne]

Do you mean this?


I would say that you can fight them for now, but that may change in the future since humans have a vast unfair advantage (Intelligence :clown:).

Use fair judgement is what I recommend.

and this?


Yes, that's exactly what it is used for: To bend stupid suicidal AI. You have to remember that the PBeM minimod tricks the game into thinking it is another faction..which means every other faction is AI. So, say you and I agree that I will trade all of Sicily for 40k and gaurunteed protection from Greece (I'm desperate). Have fun going to the AI with your diplomat and convincing them to try that.

That is why I am going to make a diplomacy thread which will state current known deals (secret ones are obviously secret). This will replace the one in-game.

Now, relize that this game is going to take a little dedication and trust on the other player's part that they don't cheat. If worst comes to worst and a player is cheating or doing something without your permission, then we can load the most recent save before his turn, kick him out, and continue play. We will also ALL have his name designated as a cheater in our signatures :2thumbsup:

But the cheating part can't be helped. Obviously someone could use toggle_fow and see where all of your units are...it is up to the players to make the game fair and enjoyable.

I'm not trying to be rude, but how does that answer the question of how the AI can compete without the money bonus. Or are we just going to ignore that and kick the AI's butt? (I don't really mind that really!)

[justmyname]

see the rules thread. we will give money bonus only for the AI factions.

[Skullheadhq]

There may be a problem right there. No one installed MAAS citymod or FD. Force Diplomacy came in the minimod pack so it is unnecesary. Also we installed the compatible version found on Lz3's page, not on MAA's page.

That is the reason why we can't continue yet. For us to continue with you, you have to reinstall it first and this time correctly, and then redo your turn. You just redoing your turn now without installing it properly will not change a thing. Arguing about this is futile, because it is already proven that it is so. The only other possibility is you intentionally cheating to give the AS too much money. By possibility I mean that any other way is impossible, and by impossible, I mean that it can't be done. So by denying that you installed it incorrectly you are by necessity saying that you intentionally caused this problem by cheating, rather than making an honest mistake. Either way, the problem is traced down to you.

and pass it to that..I don't know...." punic scum":juggle2::oops:

we should be more specific. lets say that from the moment of TP's last post hax has 24h to complete his turn. after that is carthage's turn. someone should try to keep a track for this, at least in the first turns.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Hey, should I take my turn now? As Hax has had more than 24h I think.


Also, I will be unavailable this weekend so if it comes round again(which I doubt) please just skip me.

I say go ahead with your turn. Hax has had several days. We need to get this game started once and for all.

ditto

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

what do I do? As it takes me to the AS, do I just skip and then take my go? Also, the AS only have 3,000mnai now. Is that right?

[cux47]

yes ,it's all right.

you can load the Skullhead's turn and played for him(Hax)

then you load the quick save and finish your turn

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Do I have to activate any special scripts? because I tried to end turn and it just went to the AS next turn and I can't find any save, other than autosave which is just the same. Am I missing something?

[cux47]

you need to activate both scripts

first press O and activate the EB main script

then press F1 and "?" to activate the PBEM script

[cux47]

another 24hs past

don't tell me......

[cux47]

ETA 3hs

hurry up, man!!

PS: WWWF, I guess your problem is you copied the EB folder and install the PBEM mod in that clone one.

but because of the EBTrivialScript(I supposed you installed it) you still played the orignal EB game without the PBEM

[cux47]

Time's up, now I'm going to upload my turn. Sorry for the skip, but rule is the rule and we should continue the game:2thumbsup:

guys i have the following problem, i can't activate the EBBS script. i get the following error: EBBS_script.txt at line 80288, column 1 can't recognize Section.
i've done everything by the book, even reinstalled the all thing again (starting with RTW). i don't know if it's me or incitatus' save, but i have no clue on what to do. i will be able to do my turn in hours after we get a solution to this one. sorry and help.

[Incitatus]

That is strange. I wish I could help, but sadly I don't know much about the script.
Does my save work for anyone else? If the problem is at my end I will reinstall everything to be sure to get it right, but I won't be able to do this for several hours.

[davepyne]

have you tried this?


There is a problem in the EBBS_SCRIPT: ";Section 2h: Sweboz Reform" is missing a semi-colon before the word "section". I fixed it in mine.

[cux47]

have you tried this?

That is the exactly right way to fix the problem my friend

as i also said in another post:


You may still need to go check your EBBS_SCRTPT.TXT and put a ";" right before the "Section 2h: Sweboz Reform", so it looks like this below:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;Section 2h: Sweboz Reform
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[justmyname]

it worked, thanks. i'll take my turn in several hours. sorry for the delay.

TP, back to you.

[Subotan]

Hi, I'm back. Good to see that the ball is finally rolling. Unfortunately, whilst in America with my college (Which was great btw), my dad broke my computer. Luckily, all we need is a new power supply, so that's in the post, but my communication to you guys will be limited (I'm using a Wii to type this, and I have never missed my keyboard more). I do suggest sending a pm to the guy who's turn is after yours when you upload your turn, in case our PBEM has been forgotten.

[The Celtic Viking]

here it is.

TP, back to you.

24 hours are past, I think I'll have to take it now. :shame:

(Oh and I agree with Subotan about sending PMs to the next guy on the list. I'll do so.)

Here's the new save:

As it's the 2nd turn

now we can begin to negotiate our diplomate treatments

Here's my save: EBPBeM-272-3-Makedonia (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=193&id=4537)

Ptolemaioi is up, I've PMed Skullheadhq.

[Skullheadhq]

Here is my save:http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=FMX3MWFM
And is it normal that Hax has 19000mnai? I Activated all scripts.

[cux47]

yes
since he didn't built and recruit anything in the first turn and his economic is so powerfull

[The Celtic Viking]

So AS should really start with a base income of 16k/turn? I doubt that. Something's wrong - again...

[Sarkiss]

definitely, 16k a turn is way too much.

[The Celtic Viking]

Sigh. Okay. Skullhead, the problem here is caused by you. Either your installation was correct when you did your first turn but not now, or it was incorrect when you did your first turn (the one we continued from) but not now, or it was never correct. So tell me, have you made any changes to your installation since you posted this (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=2123156&postcount=53)?

If you haven't, then your installation was definitely incorrect when you uploaded your "fixed" version as well - the one we continued from - and then you have to reinstall (and this time go from a clean RTW + EB installation and follow TP's guide to the letter!) and redo your first turn - that is, you should take the first save Mjolnir uploaded on page 1, and everyone who has done anything after that will have to redo our turns as well.

If you have, then I would like you to reinstall it anyway, the same way I said you should if you hadn't. Then redo this turn and see what the AS get. If it's still 19k, then you have to redo your first turn. If it's more than they should have, but not 19k, you have to redo your first turn. Only if it's the right amount (and not just "less than 19k", mind you, but what the AS really should have after one ending one turn without doing anything), then we can continue.

Someone else could help out and just take the last save Mjolnir uploaded, and then just end the turn until you get to the AS and see what you get. If you get more than the AS should have after ending one turn without doing anything, then we need to revert to the first save Mjolnir uploaded on page 1. (I'd do this myself, but I can't until tomorrow.)

This is getting really painful. :shame:

[cux47]

Well this are my tests

First I load the Subotan's save(the first turn) and this is the screen shot of the financial statment of AS

https://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9682/thefinancialstatmentofays4.th.jpg (https://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thefinancialstatmentofays4.jpg)

then I load the Mjolnir's Makedonia save(also the first turn) and this is the shot

https://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9352/thefinancialstatmentofayz9.th.jpg (https://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thefinancialstatmentofayz9.jpg)

As you can see , the two save has the same income, just a slight different in trade, tax and corruption and others.

Then I load the TP's first Rome save, and load it again, again and again untill the AS's turn and here's the shot

https://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7195/thefinancialstatmentofaxs4.th.jpg (https://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thefinancialstatmentofaxs4.jpg)

the situation is the same. If there is a problem, it should started at the very beginning.
however, I don't think there has something wrong with it. It's an huge empair guys, with the rich cities and farms and gold mines. How an empair as the Arche Selecieds runs if they hadn't this amount of money .

Finally I stated a single campain as AS, and this is the first turn's financial report.

https://img135.imageshack.us/img135/6213/56095237ts3.th.jpg (https://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=56095237ts3.jpg)

The income is less than the turns in PBEM, but you should notice that it has 2000+mnai
Expanditure in corruption and others, and less income in TAX(about 2000mnai also)

If we add these 4000+mnai then it also have 17000mnal in the next turn.

I can't for sure that there is nothing wrong with it, but it's not just the save's problem.

May be it's because of the city mod, I just took a guess.

But I hope, this is just fine then....

[Skullheadhq]

Phew, And i didn't changed a thing since my last save. I didn't even started EB since then.

[The Celtic Viking]

I started SP campaign as the AS now to check, and their projected profits are exactly 6731. That's nowhere near that kind of money, so something is definitely wrong. I'll try the PBeM saves now.

[The Celtic Viking]

Okay, I got the same result with the PBeM save as you did, Cux. This leads me to think the problem is with the PBeM mod, not anyone's installation. :shame:

I'll throw a PM in TP's way and see what he has to say about it.

[justmyname]

guys, this is taking far too long. lets keep it moving.

[Skullheadhq]

Is this PBEM dead? :skull::skull::skull:

[Subotan]

This Pbm is broke.

[cux47]

Or may be Hax can swaitch to another faction

if he agree, then I can make a new genericScript.txt fot it

[cux47]

By the way

The ETW demo sucks

[The Celtic Viking]

We would have to make sure that no one takes the AS in the future either, but yes, that would be the it. Hopefully it's just a problem for the AS and nothing else, and since TP hasn't even read my PM that seems to be what we have to do.

So Cux, go ahead and make the script. :shame:

[davepyne]

Why is the Selucid Kingdom broke, but the other factions work?

[cux47]

the filefront doesn't work on me, dame it

so this is the new file(genericScript.txt)

DONE

http://rapidshare.de/files/45534394/genericScript.rar.html

I removed the seleucid(now played by ai) only, so now there are 11 players left
and Hax, if you want to play another faction instead,
please tell me and I will make a new one so we can put you in

really feel sorry for it

[The Celtic Viking]

Good job, cux. The Verrix thanks you. :2thumbsup:

Have you sent a message to We shall fwee... Wodewick (from now on his name is just "Wodewick" to me :sweatdrop:) letting him know he can do his turn do?

[cux47]

right away

[Sarkiss]

guys, im dropping out. aint got time. sorry and good luck to everyone.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

I'm afraid I'm dropping out too guys, sorry. This was a really cool idea.

[Skullheadhq]

I'm also leaving the sinking ship. I'll return when this mod is fixed. :daisy:, this was such a good idea.

[TruePraetorian]

Okay, I got the same result with the PBeM save as you did, Cux. This leads me to think the problem is with the PBeM mod, not anyone's installation. :shame:

I have returned from my troubles only to find that the PBeM has turned in the opposite direction of which I had hoped.

There is nothing wrong with the AS. They SHOULD have that much income. Their empire is massive and each settlement provides them with mnai.

Celtic, when you started a single player as the AS and the projected income was 6000 you have to remember a few things. First off, there is a thing in the EBBS/CAMPAIGN that changes things based on the player faction. For example, if I start a game as the Romani then I have no government building in Arriminum. Start a campaign, you'll find it's true. Now, if we were to start the game as someone else and then switch to the Romanii WITHOUT my PBeM scripts, you will find a different story. Of course, to test this capture the settlement.

The reason the AS has so much money is because when I edited the scripts I got rid off all the "local_faction" stuff that has to do with buildings and money. Have you noticed that with the PBeM mod you have a spy/diplomat or perhaps and army you never had before in regular EB? Well almost every faction does. The AS has different buildings, different settings, different starting stuff then if you were to play a single player EB.

Like I said, there is no way possible for the AS to recieve an undo amount with the PBeM mod. I got rid off all money bonuses. If the AS recieves any money, it is because it should. Otherwise someone did not activate the script or cheated, which I assume are not the case. Also, I noticed that not everyone has the correct version of the PBeM mod. For example, Inciatus claimed his script would give him and error. This was fixed by him manually. Now, had he downloaded the most recent version of the pbem mod he would not have had this problem, for i fixed it. I assume everyone else downloaded it, but perhaps no one did.

It is also EXTREMELY likely that we did not all share the same minimods associated with the PBeM. I know personally there was much confusion on what to download. If the things on Lz3's page were not downloaded then this would deffinately screw everything up.

But alas, it is a shame to find that the game has fallen prematurely. I hope that if this post is come across the game may start again.
