I Have it all set up! TOO

I Have it all set up! TOO

Great! Including my minimodpack compilation?

[TruePraetorian]

Skullheadhq, I laughed as I was generating the genericScript.txt because you beat me to it

But, VERY important thing just added to first post:

Make sure you print out your factions Government map included with the PBeM minimod!!!


I can't stress enough how important it is. Without it you would be able to build whatever gov't you want wherever you wanted. This completely defeats the purpose of EB.

Hey, are we using city/phalanx mods as well? Also, a vote for H/M, and a list of all the factions which need to be filled.

Btw, I'm definitely going Baktria, if I can get it to work.

[Mjolnir]

I'll sit down tomorrow and take a shot at installing everything. Assuming any issues have been worked out by then.

One question. I want to play Hotseat with a few friends but, I activated the two scripts and what do i do now?

[Mjolnir]

I have a question about step #5 from here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=109807

Generator is now included in the minimod folder. Now, create your script with your factions. DO NOT try slave. Buggy...trying them gave me so much trouble in the first place. It will save it to your C: drive. Find it, and rename it genericScript.txt. Put this into data/scripts/show_me.

Which factions are we doing that for?

After you activate the EBBS script (the usual) at the start of your turn, you then press F1 and hit the question mark, then the advisor, then show_me. After that, take your turn, hit end turn.

When the screen goes to the top left corner with a box saying "save completed" or whatever, click the check mark. Now, for the PBeM you simply exit out of the game, find the quicksave, and upload it.

For hotseat, press ctrl-L (keyboard hotkey for "load"). It then goes to the next factions turn. Viola. Make sure that you activate the scripts again for the next person's turn.

I'll just make the script and upload it, don't worry about it. It is currently made...but just incase someone else joins I will hold onto it. When I upload my save since Rome goes first, I will include the genericScript.txt

[cux47]

looks you guys met a lot of problems

let's just be patient and work it out together

Most of the problems are fixed now I think.

ok, so we skip step 5, but what about 6?

[Mjolnir]

When we going to get the boll rolling on this? Makedonia is ready to go.

[TruePraetorian]

Im a bit confused at your question..you activate both scripts to get hotseat. That's pretty much it

When we going to get the boll rolling on this? Makedonia is ready to go.

Yep, going to take my turn right after this post. Will upload the save and genericScript.txt.

Make sure you know the faction turn order please

[Subotan]

Friday please. But I'm going away the week after next for a week, so although I don't want to delay the game until then (Obviously), how will you proceed w/o me?

One last question

I know the battles between Human Players are auto-resovled

what about the fightings with the AI factions, auto-resovled too?

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 ).

Use fair judgement is what I recommend.

I actually already fixed that and re-uploaded the mod.

[Sarkiss]

ive done everything but not sure when to run PBeM-Hotseat exe? do i do it just before starting up the game and do i need to do it every time my turn is up? thanks

[Sarkiss]

ok, justmyname just explained me there is no need to run that exe. thanks again. is KH goes after AS?
so im ready to go

I think you should re-write the "How to Set Up" thing so everyone get it all clear

[justmyname]

i have a suggestion. if one fights a battle against a human player, he should post a screenshot of the battle results in the campaign thread along with his save. if there are more battles then we should have screenshots after each battle. in this way we get to know what happens with our armies and we can plan accordingly.

[Sarkiss]

there is new fix available. prevents Carthage reform marker spam.
