Yes, the emails can be changed later on, it just has to be done by hand at the moment so I need advance warning ( say 24 hours ). I will eventually code an external settings file that players will be able to change on their own, but it's not there yet and I can't give an ETA.

So, I have the save.

Unfortunately, my planned gaming time is in a couple of hours, so, I'll have the save for some time.

What do I do after I play the save? Do I send it manually by email to the next player? How do I make sure that the tracker knows what I did?

[Mist]

Send it to

rb.ffh2.pbem4.tracker@gmail.com

It will be passed on and registered automatically.

[Ichabod]

Ok, I sent it to the email you gave me, Mist. How can I confirm that I did it right?

Just a stupid noob question: the game overwrites the save I played, so that's the one I have to send, am I right?

[Ichabod]

Argh, sorry Ravus, i sent you the wrong save... Now I'll send you the right one...

I'm really sorry, but it's my first time playing a PBEM...

Just a note for anyone who wants to dual install a more recent patch and an older patch.

It's pretty easy. What you want to remember though, is to rename the patch version you want to use to "Fall from Heaven 2", and the other version something else, then swap it around when you want to load the other version. The one you're loading needs to be named Fall From Heaven 2 though, or the save won't load.

Mildly irritating, but nothing too major.

tracker says I still have the save, I sent it on around an hour ago

[Mist]

Spelling mistake in the tracker script Your email is that difficult to write

Anyway, save was forwarded correctly, error fixed.

[Ichabod]

Got it.

I'll only be able to play it in a couple of hours, though.

[Ichabod]

Turn sent to Ravus Sol!

Edit: the tracker doesn't seem to recognize that I sent the save, so I'll do it again.

How long does the tracker takes to update, by the way? So I can know when something went wrong.
