Date: Saturday, August 25th
Start Time: 7am PST (-8 GMT)

We only 4 to start with, with more joining as we progress. So no worries if you need to come later! You'll need to contact me via AIM (tactic9) or MSM (tactic9@hotmail.com) on the day. It would also be nice if the 3 other starters could show up 15-30 minutes early.

RFC MP: Alpha Build (http://rhyesciv.uw.hu/rfcmp028.zip)

Install the file in your BTS/Mods folder just like every other mod. Make sure you have the 3.03 patch installed.

I can't think of any sort of Civ-related thing that would start with 4 players, but have more as the game progresses. None at all. :cute:

Nooo, I can't be on computer the whole day. But I'm interested to read how the game went.

I think it is an online version of RFC?

That would be sweet. I wouldn't be able to attend, but I would definitely like to read about every detail of it! Where's my Scribes!

Online RFC, that would be the day ;D

If it is, count me in for some minor nation :D

Quantumf8
Aug 14, 2007, 04:49 PM
oh, a game, sure I can make this, count me in for turks or portuguese I guess, although those are a bit of a late start civ-wise, anyways I live in PST, so I can probably pull this off! I'll try and contact you via MSN or AIM

If its a game, it will be with patch 3.03 right?

YES

By which I mean probably. I can't responsibly commit until around Wednesday before. But just to keep the momentum going here.

Logic dictates that this is a certain thing.

Logic being, what connected to RFC starts with 4 people and has more added in as you go?

Whitefire

Ssshh, don't confuse the stupid American with logic.

Well, I'd like to see how this ends up working out, maybe next time;
I plan on being hung over all day saturday

Whitefire

Alright, a semi-emergency.

Yeah yeah, you guys guessed what it is. Due to a lot of changes (back to school), I haven't had anyone to try the Alpha build. As far as I know, the mod won't even load, let alone run when more connect. So, I need someone to talk to me after 5pm PST either contacts supplied above so we can make sure this works before Saturday.

And it has to be tonight, because I've got an impromptu business trip up to San Francisco tomorrow and Friday, meaning I'll get back home about 5 hours before we're supposed to start on Saturday. It would help alot to debug tonight instead of Saturday ^_^.

Viva Estupidio! Alas, my spanish is le terrible, as is my french.. and most languages on the face of the earth that don't begin with Eng (Aside from N!guni, I don't speak a lick =P)

Anyways, i can guess that this is a game now, and I've tried to contact you via AIM, but I can't seem to get a hold of you, should I just send you a PM?

Jet
Aug 23, 2007, 04:51 AM
Confirmed for Saturday. I'll check in at 6:30am PST for a 3000 BC start.

I'd definitely like to play, I just added you on MSN now. Kudos for getting a mp version together btw.

That was pretty much all Rhye's doing.

EDIT: I rolled out of bed 10 minutes late. We have 1 slot open for the 3000BC start, once it's filled, we'll get started.

Whitefire
Aug 25, 2007, 02:14 PM
Thank you guys for coming! The 3000BC game was actually the longest we've ever played without an OOS. And we were able to find several minor issues to clean up. Hopefully Rhye can figure them out once he's back.

Please, tell us what happened? Which was which civ, who conquered everything in sight, who was the sneakiest diplomat, who shot JFK?

Jet
Aug 26, 2007, 11:50 AM
It was fun but you didn't miss that much. It was more about testing than epic storytelling. I don't think there was much player on player action - there were some wars but mostly those occurred against AIs after players had dropped out. The first game was 5-6 people 3000 BC - 800 AD 4 hours and another for testing purposes was 3-4 people 800 BC - 800 AD 2 hours.

Sounds wonderful, but I'm not much of a fighter. :(

Whitefire

Rhye will (hopefully) fix the issues we found. Can anyone make it next Saturday for another big test?

I can be there around 16cet.

I'm moving to another country...which makes it difficult, sorry I had to drop out was heading into town...MP takes soo long! Plus things kept dying! Stupid barbs.

where can we post bugs ? I can test this pretty well as I play with my wife.
first GA requires 2 GP instead of 1.

memdee
Sep 01, 2007, 06:20 AM
...which is not a bug ;)

onedreamer
Sep 01, 2007, 11:34 AM
it is a bug, since this version is for BtS, and RFC BtS doesn't work like that.

On another note, cities flip to spawning civs without asking and that I can understand (OOS problems), but maybe they shouldn't if you preemptly declare war ? Also my Babylonian city in Syria flipped to Arabia (which I don't remember happening in SP, and looks a bit far from the arabian area IMHO), and buildings and especially wonders I had built in it disappeared, is this normal ?

LuKo
Sep 01, 2007, 01:38 PM

It's intended. Rhye changed it in a patch.

onedreamer
Sep 02, 2007, 07:28 AM
is it in the last version download link ?
What about buildings and wonders disappearing though ?

LuKo

Of course!

I don't know what you mean.

onedreamer
Sep 03, 2007, 09:13 AM
I don't know what you mean.

you would know by reading the second part of the post you replied to :mischief:

The 600 AD start goes OOS very often (for example when new civs are born). It doesn't happen with the 3000 BC one.

LuKo
Sep 03, 2007, 10:01 AM
OK. It disappeared or get razed (so you can't build it again)? Check the last version- destroying Wonders was fixed many times ;)

onedreamer
Sep 03, 2007, 10:47 AM
I'm talking about the MP version in this thread Luko, first post. As I have described, As-Sur flipped from Babylon to Arabia due to the spawn script, and all buildings and Wonders inside it disappeared. I wanted to know if this is normal, as I don't recall seeing it in the single player version.

LuKo
Sep 03, 2007, 10:52 AM
It's probably bug. If you were playing MP game made on oldest patch maybe that's the reason.

onedreamer
Sep 03, 2007, 11:02 AM
most probably. I wonder if it will ever be updated.

RFC MP: Alpha Build (http://rhyesciv.uw.hu/rfcmp028.zip)



It clearly says RFC MP: Alpha Build and since MP normally stands for Multi Player I reckon you could make a fairly accurate guess as to what you would be attending. Might be wrong but that's my bet.

The link wasn't there at the time.

Whitefire
Sep 07, 2007, 12:50 PM
We think we fixed the post 600AD OOS frequency. Onedreamer, do you have a save the turn before you took a city that lost wonders? Without the save, we can't figure out what the problem might be.
