I tried it with 1.2 but I keep getting minidumps.

I have a problem with the diplomatic exchange of technology and AI. Shortly after it is offered to me and I accept it is canceled by the AI. My offers are not even accepted. Relationship on both sides to 20. Where is the error or my. I play with closed teams.

I get the same thing, only when I offer a diplomatic pact, it is accepted, then terminated, then accepted again, over and over in rapid succession until I withdraw the pact offer completely.

The icons and symbols of the Dominion capital ships are reversed from the dip version 1.19 (rc). Does this sound familiar?

Weekend Game?

Well, I note that a few people were interested in playing the weekend before last, so I figure I'll toss out an invite for a weekend game and see who bites.

I'll be online this Saturday and Sunday at the following times in a SOA2 chat room.  Anyone with the mod running is welcome.  We'll be running the 1.19rc version of the mod (most recent version) on Diplomacy 1.2.  

SATURDAY:  USA - noon Eastern/11am Central/9am West Coast UK - 5pm

SUNDAY:     USA - noon Eastern/11am Central/9am West Coast UK - 5pm

Note the times and the UK support - a lot of UK folks were on the last time we rumbled (last year).

If people are more amenable to evening games, post a follow-up and we'll gage interest.  Note that if we start too late in the US, the UK people are watching the sun come up.

I should be able to do at least one of those times.  Just take it easy on me, I am not one of those uber-elite super players.  My Ironclad Online name is Sentinel Tiberius so I hope to see you all there.

cant seem to download the new version keeps comming  all download slots are busy and when i do get the chance to download DIPLOMACY version it downloads 33kbs and that all then i got to wait another 24 hours to try again please post it somewhere else so i can dowload it thankyou

psychoak - More on my experience with the Dom:

I find that the best strategy depends on human vs. bot enemy.  If your enemy is a bot, just build a couple of trade stations (battle stations) in the direction closest to where the enemy will warp in, and don't build a single turret.  The enemy will send in lone bombers that wander up and start bombing, all while being blown to smithereens by the trade stations.  In fact, building weapons structures is worse because they will send in frigates or cruisers to blow them up.

Anyway, just build a long line of trade stations (which also makes it very easy to have a second and third line of defense if your outermost planet falls) and start doing research on ships like crazy.  You will already have a Leviathan, so just add a Harbinger Class, Devastator Class, and Enslaver Class to the lineup (also get the auto level-up ability) and start cranking out Virulent cruisers.  When you've got a fleet supply of 1000 of those four cap ships plus the Virulents, just go on a killing spree.  Pretty much nothing can stand against you.  Even a small Borg fleet gets toasted, and medium-sized Borg fleets can be defeated if you are smart.  This is a boring strategy, and you are vulnerable for a while due to spending money on trade stations (no worse than starbases though).  Scythe Class is also good, since they don't defect like Cardassians and they can bomb too.

Is there some way to downgrade my Sins Diplomacy from 1.2 to 1.19f via Impulse, so i can play the latest SOA2?

The SoA2 release for 1.19 of Diplomacy works on 1.2 since nothing was changed between those patches except for leaving a beta state.

Um, right now I'm trying to figure out what the hell my login name was - may take me a bit since there's no "retrieve lost account" option anywhere for ICO...

Update: nevermind, I figured it out.  You figure ICO would let you tie in your board name to your ICO account, but that would be too smart.

I'm trying to get in the SoA2 game for today but I don't see anyone else on.  Is there supposed to be a special chat room in ICO?

Yup, try the chat room SOA2 Mod

Is anyone else coming for the game?  We're about to set it up now.

Any game I want to join gives me a checksum error.

I was not able to download the mod because the site said that i already downloaded to many files or some thing and i had to to pay for a upgrade to download the file.

I get constant minidumps whenn i try to run the mod with Diplomacy 1.2.

Is there a workaround for the minidump issue?

I haven't heard from anyone on the (active) mod team, but for those of you getting minidumps, there's no active workaround right now (members correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to answer questions).

Note that almost everyone gets a minidump the first time they play the mod.  This minidump does not repeat for most people if you just re-launch the program.  I've noticed that disabling and re-enabling the mod can also give you a dump, and we had one the first time we played on ICO today (may have been because I disabled and re-enabled the mod).

Unfortunately, that's the extent of my knowledge.  My driving fear is that there is something here that's rig-related, and that older rigs are going to dump no matter what the team does.  Note that this is my guess only, I haven't done any troubleshooting because it hasn't been happening to me.

That said, a few of us had a good game on ICO today.

wbino, you had better call a proctologist, as you might have a serious health issue ie not having a 'dump'

harpo

Fun mod but can some-one please tell me what music the menu theme is? Thanks

this conversation went very very south very quickly lol
