Tech Thread - EitB XXVI

[Tasunke]

Sian, did u send me a save recently or just a few days ago? Can't check at the moment. But last time I checked I couldn't find the one from several days ago.

[Sian]

i'm talking the one i sent a couple of days ago which you played and sent onwards to me

[Tasunke]

and here I thought I sent you the one that Primepolar sent me >_<

anywho, so that save was incorrect?

[Sian]

now i'm even more confused ... did you play the one i manually forwarded to you? (should be easy enough to decipher since it got a mailheader in the text

Code:

.... actually ... close combing the 'rbffh26' mail account ... i think i discovered the issue

whosit sent a save named XXVI, while it changed to EITB26, after Primepolar sent it ...

as such, i'm guessing that it was Primepolar that played the wrong save ... and the mapmaker failed to mention that it was named differently ... have to go edit the tracker file as well then if this is correct

I fixed the tracker page. In the tracker configuration file, there is a line named

PHP Code:

#gamename        ::    EITB26 


the gamename entered here needs to match the name that your save game files get. The newest save in the tracker email account was named EITB26_AD-0001_to_Tebryn_Arbendai, so I went with EITB26 as the game name. If your game name has changed again after your multiple restarts, I need to fix the name yet again.

Oh sorry
I thought having the restart under a different name would help people distinguish between them.

Now please point me to the proper emote to get things rolling on track. :P But I'm guessing this basically means another restart? Shame we're all in different timezones, otherwise I'd recommend we all try to get on and, like, blitz to T5 or some other vast, unimaginable turn number.

[Primepolar]

Sorry about the delay, played the save and forgot to send it off.

and thats correct ... but people have to know it to act on it
