I left names as Default but in the main menu "Your Details" gives you the option of changing at will.

 

[Eclipse4449]

As for when writing begins, this can be done in your own timeframe. This can happen whether you have the turn or not, most of us setting up our settlement can predict what will happen in the next 10 turns or if turns have past your can recall on the last 20 turns, it is completely up to you.

If you find your start is bad or something else amiss, please tell me

The reason I left our names as default and this is just an example, France wasn't France to start with, you have every option to call your tribe/Kingdom anything you'd like so long as it ends up its real name in time.

I've read the posts of the Game itself being not as important as the writing itself and I total agree, but seasoned players will play their best anyway to get more out of it, as for me I will be pushing on my people hard to grow and they may not be very happy about it and revolt, if they do great I got a bonus! for something to write but be advised that taking this direction can ultimately provide you with no means to controlling your Civilization, my guess is you'll get the turn but as a "Turn Complete" for the Revolution's duration, I'd think you could see you cities and get an idea of whats going on.

And also assuming, the Barbarians we'll meet down the road will not be just a group of Warriors but be a developed city/state capable of Knights or better, so take the game seriously or one Kingdom may need to plead for help from another rather than what we know as normal in BTS, So Long Live the Kings and Queens of WiG

Wait wat now I´m confused, we aren´t playing via PBEM-Tracker? I don´t even know Hawklord´s e-mail-adress, how am I supposed to send him the save? And I thought the other thread was only for Roleplaying and the stories while this one is for Behind-the-scenes?
I tried the save you sent me with your e-mail Nighthawk, but always when I try to load it a error popup saying "Load Failed." appears and the game crashes.

We aren't using PBEM tracker we are using regular emails. Knoedel you should have an email from Eclipse that was sent to all of us, Hawklord's email should be on there.

You are correct, the other thread is for roleplaying and stories and this one is behind the scenes.

Did you open the game through Legends of Revolutions or did you open it in the old BTS? You need to open it through LOR. Rather than loading the turn, just right-click on it in your email and click "open" and it should open with the correct program.

I see, thanks.

And what about commentaries like "Subbed." and the Link to this thread?

Nope, tried it both ways, and in both cases the same thing happens: There comes an error-popup for like half a second and then the game crashes.

There's nothing wrong with a link to this thread, if people want to read us talking about game settings haha. Its just a way to differentiate between them without having a big jumbled mess and mix of stuff.

What version of LOR are you running? Sounds like a version problem?

If we have issues with the 4 of us using LOR we may need to go back to regular BTS...

 

[Nighthawk419]

Knoedel - I tried loading the turn I sent to you last night just to make sure it worked for me and to make sure it wasnt a problem on my part... everything loaded just fine. It must be something with your install, maybe a version problem?

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Nope, it´s the current version 0.9.9b.
The error-popup said that the file was protected because of some assets. I tried making a screenshot several times but that does not seem to work.

 

[Hawklord]

I downloaded the most recent stable version. Same as IMP as far as I can see.

 

[Nighthawk419]

Knoedel - I did a little snooping around on the LoR download site and noticed the following:

"One major note though, to play Multiplayer games, you must have your custom assets folder cleared of all files, otherwise it will break."

Can you go into your file system and clear your custom assets folder? (Or move them somewhere else for now if you have some you want?)

Try that and then see how it loads...

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Nope, it didn´t work after removing the only file I could find, so I removed all the folders too but it was still the same error.

Maybe try an uninstall and then reinstall LOR? Other than that I don't have anything for you... we may need to restart using plain old BTS. That isn't bad though, the only major thing we lose is the possibility of revolutions and barbs turning to civs... we can just add a couple more AI or something.

Hi guys

We have 2 choices;

1, find your CustomAssets folder and rename it CustomAssetsX or anything so long it is changed.
the game creates a brand new folder called CustomAssets because these no longer is one. (Delete the Writing in Gunpowder folder in the pbem folder, launch turn from email.
or
2 or we can use the tried and true BTS

it does not matter to me

lets also post GPS to ........ when its sent (this helps you catch important comments posted, I know I don't get every subscribed post instantly. Not that anything is instantly important or how ever you say it

 

[Eclipse4449]

on second thought, the appeal of it being stories form BTS might be more appeaqling than to say it is based off a mod only some know of

 

[Hawklord]

Seems to me that we should just go with BTS. The extra bits look like fun but we don't need them really for the story telling.

 

[Nighthawk419]

Regular BTS is totally fine with me, LOR is cool but I like the art of BTS better. That and its def stable. I've been craving old BTS anyway. Eclipse launch us again!!!

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I tried Eclipse´s suggestion, but it was still all the same, so let´s just go with regular BTS. A pity, the mod has really grown on me.

Okay now I´m just confused, I tried loading the file Hawklord sent me and then the same error happened again. Maybe we should use PBEM-Tracker instead of conventional e-mails?
