Multiplayer FfH2?

[Project_2501]

Just want to start off by saying thanks to everyone who works on this Mod, its an excellent piece of work, and a heck of a lot of fun. That aside, I'd like to know who (if anyone) is interested in playing FfH2 multiplayer; by email or Pitboss server. PM or post here if your interested. If you are willing to run a pitboss server that would be great. I have a decent PC which I believe could run a server, but I have never done it, and I'm not sure it could handle being up 24/7... Anyway, let me know if your interested!

Just keep in mind that you need to avoid targeted spells in multiplayer when you play - they cause Out of Synch errors.

Well I would like to play, but I never ran a Pitboss server and I doubt my PC can do it.

Already said I do in the PBEM forum perhaps you should put a link to the other forum and sort it all out there?

You people are incredible... http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=174177 Thats my other thread for a ffh Multiplayer. Gonna switch most of my posting to there... and about to pose a question there, so everyone go and check it out and reply.

Not much time left to join the above game, it'll be using version .13b I believe

I played a FfH 0.13 game recently with a friend and we got an out-of-sync error even though we both didn't cast a targeted spell. I don't remember the exact details, but I think we did see a targeted spell. This leads me to believe that an AI may have casted a targeted spell. If that's the case, than multiplayer FfH is now out of the question, until either the out-of-sync bug is fixed or the mage AI is somehow disabled.

The out of sync with targeted spells happens only for the Player (its correlated to the screen that comes up and information from that screen beeing only present on one of the pcs as far as i know.)

AIs targeted spells would not make trouble. (but they do not cast targeted spells atm)

 

[kevjm]

I think we're only playing with human players anyway

I've pmed Project re: it. Would be cool multiplayer I think!

I would play multiplayer, but the computer that gets email is diffrent from the one that plays civ 4 : (
it would have to be a pitboss server thing, which i haven't even started to mess with...
(although if i host it, i'm sure my computer could handle it)

I just joined the Pitboss FFH2 game and I clicked to move my scout and warrior and also pressed the build city button for my settler. However none of them moved and the settler didn't build yet. Some other civs have a score of 35 which I assume means they built their city.

Is this meant to happen? Shouldn't I build and move in turn 0?

 

[Silverkiss]

Its because its not your turn yet. Some player before you didn´t played his turn yet, when he plays you will be able to play yours.

 

[Bad Player]

Thx for that!

 

[eerr]

i won't let me play my turn yet...
what version is everyone using?

 

[Silverkiss]

I´m using version 2013d

 

[eerr]

have you tried to play yet?

i think i may have gotten to the leaders in classic mode by accident the first time...

it won't even let me look at my starting position

 

[kevjm]

Had problems joining the game- some error saying the save was protected in case of changes to the mods folder. Are we still using .13d?

 

[Silverkiss]

Ya i have this problem too... something in the assets folder

 

[Bad Player]

I didn't get this problem, however I remember reading something about calling the assets folder assets.old and creating a new blank assets folder. Don't try this without confirmation plz as it may be related to something entirely different!!!


Can someone tell us how to make sure Pitboss runs as simultaneous moves please???
