GOTM submittion question

[sourboy]

Do I submit the saved game from the turn I was about to win on(auto-save), or do I keep playing after then win and save on the following turn?

You save on the following turn.
Btw i don't think you are supposed to open a new thread for something like this. You can use the FAQ thread.

sorry, this board is really cluttered....

one more question since the thread is already here:

How long does it take before I see my name in the 'games received' list for gotm submissions?

 

[jeffelammar]

about 3 seconds with the new submission.
longer if you e-mail

 

[sourboy]

ok so I'm getting an error message. Can someone tell me the email address to send my gotm into? I don't have a shortcut email account set up, so I can't use their link...


Also, I am noticing that the auto-save file is much bigger then the regular save file...should I not send an auto-save then?

 

[Nightfa11]

right, don't send an autosave....they aren't compressed and regular saves are

Open your Auto_Save and rename it to something like gotm21_Sourboy_xxxxAD.sav.

You should be able to upload you new compressed save and the submittal form I think will rename it in a format that will make sorting easier for the GOTM crew.

What is the error message you are getting when attempting to upload the file?

 

[sourboy]

The error message was something along the lines of "invalid file, file doesn't exist" & it mentioned lines 50 & 52.

I was sending the auto-save file when getting the errors. I then reloaded the auto-save, saved the game, and then when I sent the compressed file, it worked fine.

I was trying to email it in, but as I stated above, not everyone can see your email. You may want to do something like:

'If you have an error, please email it to 'errors@gotm.com' or click the link [here].'

Hope this helps.
