Legion vs. Phalanx online tournament

[Phalanx300]

All this discussion on version and fixes is confusing me a bit.



Now what will we especially need for this tournament:

Europa Barbarorum Patched all the way to EB1.2,
The EB1.2 Fixes
No modified files for multiplayer

Is this all or will we need some more things?

[Βελισάριος]

We have reached a decision on the version to be used. It's vanilla EB 1.2 with all official fixes.
No additional fixes or minimods of any sort.

Most of the other issues are still in dispute with a solution to be reached (hopefully) soon.

In the meantime, I encourage you all to have some online battles of your own (in Legion vs. Phalanx style) and, if possible, to give us the replays so we may see the results and research the issue further.

potocello u still have ur server up?

anyone available right now?

[Phalanx300]

I would like a multiplayer game right now.

[alexanderthegreater]

Im hosting a server right now. Plz join

[Phalanx300]

Ok I´m coming, does take a while for EB to start up though.

[Βελισάριος]

Don't forget to upload your replays!

Oh, and take some pretty screenies!

[alexanderthegreater]

Im having compatibility issues again!
Strangely I have EBv1.2 vanilla with fixes and never installed anything else, never changed anything. Phalanx300 that tried to join me did modify somthing so that sparta had no walls (hes changing that back now) but since this is the third time i have compatibility issues im getting suspicious.

Im no expert, anyone now anything I might have don wrong?

EDIT:
Ive been checking my software information, and apparantly my computer claims that I have EB installed over RTW1.3 instead of 1.5.
So im gonna uninstall everything then reinstall it all again- over 1.5.
Hopefully that will do it, if it works i may be playing tomorrow.

If not im afraid my participation in this tournament will be in the balance.

Hey guys, me and Tolg are playing right now via Hamachi. The server is Europa Barbarorum and the password is greecevsrome

Tolg is uploading some replays, i will upload mine later. Tolg won twice :( Rome:2 Greece: 0
Sorry Greece.

What version is your RTW? It should be 1.5. I don't know if this is the issue though

[Βελισάριος]

Let me guess... every game appears in red font and when you click it it says something about BI version 1.3-somethingsomething.

I have that problem and it's beyond me what to do with it.

[Potocello]

If you are playing EB and everything appears red it's because those games are vanilla RTW not EB. You should check and see what version your vanilla RTW is. The BI version 1.3 error you're getting is due to version issues i think. At least that's how it was for me.

As Potocello promised, here are the replays:

First battle: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ylndmt...om.T-KH.Pc.rpy

Second battle: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ancioz...om.T-KH.Pc.rpy


And here's the folder I'm going to upload all replays into:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=0...21d66e282a0ee8

I'll post a detailed guide on how to play multiplayer battles (with and without Hamachi) later today.

[alexanderthegreater]

Ok, I need to get this straight.
So I install:
RTW.
then RTW 1.3
then RTW 1.5
then EB1.0
then EB1.1
then EB1.2
Then all 3 fixes.

Anything I missed/anything else?

[Potocello]

No that looks right, that's weird that you're having issues.

[Tolg]

I don't think that you're supposed to install EB 1.0.

EB 1.1 and EB 1.2 (+ fixes) is all you need...

[alexanderthegreater]

Probably due to me lacking 1.5. I think I remember installing 1.3 then planning to install 1.5, but later I forgot i hadnt installed the latter yet and I installed EB.

I think I know a good maxim for my sig now: Errare humanum est
(Or if youve read Asterix in Latin: "Errare Romanum est" - Obelix

[Potocello]

Oh well if you haven't installed 1.5 that's your issue. It's a quick download.

[soup_alex]

May I be cheeky and ask to which folder replay files should be copied if one wants to use them?
I can't seem to find an obvious candidate, and the folder containing a "default.rpy" (or something like that) didn't work...

[Tolg]

The replay folder (like the saves folder) doesn't show up if you've never saved a replay before. You can either just save a replay of some random custom battle or you can save them in "Rome - Total War\EB\replays".

[Phalanx300]

Or you can create a map in the EB map called: replays


Anyways, anyone willing for a Game?

Btw, Burebista do you have Gold Edition? I have as well yet I play using Rome, maybe thats part of the problem?

[Tolg]

@ Phalanx you can try joining our hamachi network. Name: Europa Barbarorum Pw: greecevsrome

I didn't know this could become so productive. At first I thought it would degenerate into a "Romaioi barbaroi vs. Phalanxes" mud slinging.

Well I hope this post doesn't set a bad precedent either .

[Phalanx300]

Ok I'm in the Hamachi group now.

We won't let this happen.

[Βελισάριος]

Alexanderthegreater... you need to install the 1.5 patch, yes. That way, you'll surely be able to connect.

I thought I already had it, but then I had it re-installed and it works now.
Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties, our 2v2 battle didn't work.

And Basileos ton Ellenon... as Tolg said, we'll try our best not to start tossing poo at each other.

[Phalanx300]

I agree, stones work better then poo.

But yeah, to bad our 2v2 battle didn't worked, it was just reaching the point of battle.

[Gabeed]

So are we using EB 1.2, with nothing else added, or should I be looking for some official fixes somewhere?

[Phalanx300]

Yes EB1.2 but then also with the official fixes, there are 3 of em which you will have to extract.

[Potocello]

Ah what a shame that was that our battle didn't work. If you guys are free tomorrow, i would love to give it another go.
