Great Tosa :charge:

If there are no objections, Ulus(fL)_O_Ulus of Orda will be the ground up for grabs.

Please be sure that everyone has samuraiwars_11b.

The best way I found was to extract to a temp folder, and copy the contents to the game.

To be sure, check your main game folder for a STWreadme file that reads “Readme for Samurai Wars 11b and statswapper.”

Armys are now limited to 9k.

Who will be the Samurai Warlord of Orda Province?

Of course I'll be there, too. :smile:

I've to admit that I wasn't happy about switching back to beta 5 again because it means the end of testing and probably finding the bug.
But before we lose all interest in this mod we better switch to a working version.

:bow:

BTW, I've uploaded another MP patch that switches cavalry in beta_7 back to what it was in beta_5. This should even work with the STW textures. So if we have 6 people and enough time......we can try this download (http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Mtw_Uploads/MTWupload/SamWarsMP_fix2.exe)

TosaInu

10-22-2006, 14:19

There are good reasons for both. We need to play something together (beta5 is the stable one) and we need to test this beta7 because it has nice extras.

I'll be online tonight for 5 and 7.

I’m sure that “The Samurai Mod Squad :wink:”, who have been there for all of the fixes, and still have a working copy 7.1 will find time to have test game. But as I said, my copy is broke, even with the above fix, it lags.

I will have to start over with a fresh install, but that will have to wait for now.

If there is any chance to keep the interest in Samurai Wars multiplayer, we need to go back to beta 5, and keep that going. Otherwise there won’t be anyone to play the “next” version, whenever it is fixed.

Kalle,

I don't know what went wrong, I can only assume that you maybe mixed up beta_7 and beta_5 downloads. One of the beta_7 mappacks for example includes also a startpos file. Installing that on beta_5 can make it incompatible. Sorry for the confusion, I'm desperately waiting for the beta_8 that will hopefully solve all of this

This is our main forum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=105), where I've just updated the "Download & Install" (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=48926) thread. I hope it's easier to follow now.
I've also uploaded the replays of last weekend. You can find them here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=70570).

Someone have a link to the download of the beta 5?

As you know I experienced some trouble getting it to work last sunday. I made a fresh install of vi and put my old beta 5 ontop of it and took the stats from yuukis sig, and from yuukie on msn but for some reason it didnt work.

Any ideas anyone?

Kalle
I missed the first game Sunday because of version problem.

Apparently the 11b stats had not made it into the main folder somehow?

When I unzipped them to temporary folder and copied to the main, everything worked fine.

To check to make sure the 11b stat upgrade for beta 5 worked, find the STWreadme file in the main game folder, it should read:

Readme for Samurai Wars 11b and statswapper. Oct 07, 2006

:wink:

Puzz3D

10-24-2006, 13:36

CBR is making an installer for beta_5 which will include the 11b stats, and get around the problem with incompatibility between Winzip and Windows zip. The problem with .zip files is that Windows unzip doesn't put things in the right place. It makes a subfolder, and puts everything under that.

STWmod requires a clean install of MTW/VI v2.01. That means installing MTW + VI + v2.01 patch. Then you can install STWmod + 11b stats on that.

CBR

10-24-2006, 13:46

The new installer has just been uploaded: http://www.mizus.com/files/files/MTW/Stats/STWmod_beta5_11b.exe

There's a technical problem with that server right now, we're looking what happened and working on a fix. The new beta5 installer is not available at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Pretty sure Yuuki walked away with the top score from this last Sunday.

842 Kills -448 Losses for a Score of 394.

But I wasn’t in the first 2v2. Was there anyone with better numbers there?

:book:

Puzz3D

10-25-2006, 01:30

First 2v2 was:

Attackers won:

MizuCBR: 649 kills - 384 deaths = 265
Ra's al Ghul: 607 kills - 413 deaths = 194

Defenders lost:

MizuTosaInu: 398 kills - 474 deaths = -76
MizuYuuki: 773 kills - 438 deaths = 335

Tomi, I have my score as 842 kills - 383 losses = 459 for the last 2v2. The battle lasting 12 min and 45 seconds. You do have -strictserver in your shortcut I pray not that praying will do any good.

Tomisama

10-25-2006, 12:43

Yes I have –strictserver :bow:

I’m using TW Logfile Browser 2.0 by UglyPolar which includes Men Captured and Men Killed in Total Kills and Total Losses.

Your 842 "Total" Kills tally was a combination of 463 actual Kills and 379 Captures.

Your 448 "Total" Losses tally was the combination of 383 actually Killed plus 65 Captured.

I guess the “Total” method considers that "all" captures are put to the sword.

Wouldn't I get the captured back if I won the battle?

Tomisama

10-26-2006, 02:09

Wouldn't I get the captured back if I won the battle?
Yes but I believe headless, as they would be executed immediately on capture (perhaps why they disappear on the battlefield?).

And if they were still alive, you would have to kill them your self anyway, for allowing themselves to be captured. Right :yes:

Puzz3D

10-26-2006, 11:37

OK. Then the first 2v2 was:

Attackers won:

MizuCBR: 649 kills - 562 losses = 87
Ra's al Ghul: 607 kills - 643 losses = -36

Defenders lost:

MizuTosaInu: 398 kills - 566 losses = -168
MizuYuuki: 773 kills - 735 losses = 39

10-27-2006, 00:37

A quick peek at the scores and it looks like CBR is the new Lord of Province Eleven (Mizulands 11).

Congratulations Lord CBR :bow:

First time players this Sunday were Wu Chi and Naruto, with Warman almost there. Next time I think he will make it. Welcome All :smile:

After watching the replay of Mizu vs Hunters from last Sunday,
I've to say it's a very exciting game to watch. There were several
times when I saw victory for one of teams and the other managed to consolidate again. A very close battle and well played by all.
My own perfomance in the first game was rather mediocre. I was hard pressed by Hunter_Wu and lucky that CBR's center attack offered me an opportunity to counter. After initially routing Wu's army I wasn't able to chase him off the map, though.
I still need to work a lot on my team coordination.
I've to say to my defense that I almost always have a little camera lag during big battles.
Were you guys (Mizu's) using Team Speak during the battles?

Congrats, CBR! :bow:

R'as

Puzz3D

11-08-2006, 14:26

We did have Teamspeak running, but we hardly spoke during the battle. In any case, I don't see how our using Teamspeak could cause you lag. I didn't have any lag. Camera lag is probably coming from your own machine. Make sure you're not using hardware mixing for sound or too high map resolution. I use medium quality sound and 800x600 battlemap resolution.

R'as al Ghul

11-08-2006, 14:35

I didn't want to imply that your Teamspeak is causing my lag. That's a misunderstanding.
On the contrary, I was admiring your Teamplay in the replay and wondered if you were using teamspeak. My camera lag is my sole defense for my own miserable team coordination. :smile:

But the game runs better with the older driver, as you noticed I'm loading faster. I'll try to turn off some other things but switching down to 800*600 is not really an option. Since I have a new monitor I've had the game running on 1280*1024 and I could switch back to 1024*768. Since your CPU is faster than mine I think 1024 should work fine for you. Doesn't it?

R'as

R'as al Ghul

11-08-2006, 14:56

Just did a test, Hardware mixing was already off but turning down to medium sound really makes a difference. I also think I've to switch down resolution to 1024 again.

CBR do you hear me? Hello, are you there? Am I here?

Yuuki how about some cavalry? -I just dropped to the desktop.

We don't communicate that much during battles. The majority of our battles in STW were in total silence. The request for cavalry was odd communication: normally we just watch each other closely.

CBR

11-08-2006, 17:22

Yes in that last battle there was some sound issues as Tosa couldnt hear me (I got new soundcard) But maybe that was good as he didnt hear stuff like: "Wtf is Tosa doing?" or "Why doesnt he send more to help" :beam:

You should not have lag issues with that machine Ras. My old 1200 mhz AMD could handle 4v4 battles fine. Can you modify pci texture memory on a Radeon? On Nvidia the default setting could make even good pc's lag.

For some unknown reason, my game minmized during that last 3v3 battle. When I tried going back into the game the screen was black for about 3 minutes at with point I decided to ALT TAB and try going into the game again which worked.

We don't communicate that much during battles. The majority of our battles in STW were in total silence. The request for cavalry was odd communication: normally we just watch each other closely.
I'm not sure we communicate at all. ~:) This was the pre-game battle planning for the last 3v3:

Yuuki: "I think left side attack is best."
CBR: "Yeah."
Tosa: "You mean right."
Yuuki: "Yes, their right."
Tosa: "No, our right."
Yuuki: "There is a hole over there."
Tosa: "I'm going right."

Right after the battle starts....
Yuuki: "I'll advance some on left because I can't stay here."
CBR: "I can't support you."
Yuuki: "I know."
CBR: "What is Tosa doing?"
Yuuki: "I don't know. Something with his cav on the right."

After that, dead air except for the cavalry request which can't be met because I'm staring at a black screen. When I finally got two cav over to the right the situation was pretty bad, so I tried to provide a screen for CBR to withdraw behind back to center, but that wasn't very successful. Then the Hunters attacked in the center, and we were just barely able to repell that with a counterattack.

R'as,

You're right I should be at 1024x768 battlefield resolution. I had gone to 800x600 when I was trying new ATI video drivers, and forgot to put it back.
