Question about pitboss (with mods)

[JohnBlack]

Hi guys,

So we're three friends trying to play each other online - two on macs, one on pc. We would like to play on a modded map (one of Gedemon's maps from TSL Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack).

First we tried to set up a 'regular' multiplayer game with said modded map, but that did not work out well. Compared to single player, a bunch of options did no longer appear, no. of AI civs was capped, and true starting locations, city state locations, and resource allocations were completely messed up. It just seemed pretty pointless really.

And I guess I should mention that all three had downloaded the mod and put it in the mods folder.

So I guess what I'm asking is whether pitboss offers a solution. How does it work? Can we expect a modded map to work in pitboss the way it works in single player?

I hope someone's got the right answers.

Thanks guys!

My understanding is that you all need to have the map mod file stored in the MAPS folder for this to work in MP (Currently only maps can be downloaded and used - other mods will not work this way). There was a discussion a while back in the main forum. If you search for it, it might give more details - I have yet to try this.
