Don't rely on me, I don't have any admin password set up or anything like that. All I did was create the starting map...

Hamachi network looks fine sunrise. Just ensure Hamachi is running and connected to the network on the host PC.

Ok, so where we stand now is a working DNS forwarding thing (connection was down because DNS deleted my account since my IP didn't change in 30 days) and a working Hamachi, and a save file and an admin password. Can someone hold my hand and tell me what I need to do with those two things to get Elkad into the game?

Was ZPV replaced by an AI? If the answer is NO, then I would expect that you could log in as ZPV using the admin password, change the password (options, player details), forward that to Elkad. If ZPV has been AI'd - then I don't know.

Note: All assumptions regarding mp substitution based on my understand gained from playing pbem which may or may not have different substitution rules pitboss.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

I'm away for the next 36 hours or so. In the event this game gets up and running while I'm away, can someone keep the next turn from ticking over till I get back please? Thanks.

@Krill - I did indeed see your Hamachi message. Of course, I saw it only now since Hamachi lives on the hosting PC which I only remote into irregularly.

Unless something got fixed in 3.19, the change password function doesn't actually work in pitboss.

You have to retire and takeover from the AI to change your password. So if TakeoverAI isn't selected, we have a problem. I have an idea on that, sent PM to sunrise about it.

You can try changing the pass, but I suspect it won't work.
Load a save from prior to kicking him to AI
Login as ZPV, using the admin password.
Under options, player details, put in a new password, and logout.
Try to log back in with new pass.

Sunrise: Can you send the Admin password to Sullla?

Sullla: Once you have the password can you try the steps Elkad has outlined for us in the previous post?
