| Post subject: | Importing games on v1 |
Okay, tried everything I can think of, including using a different physical server and reinstalling, and I can't figure this one out. Hoping someone who's run v1 can help. I am trying to import some games on a v1 server - standard games, Subzero and Star Trek. I create the game, go to command center, import, and rebang. When I go to the details tab, I see the alien races and all the settings - and when I start the server and go to alien manager, I see the races created. But when I log in to the games, there are no alien races, no alien planets, and default ships. I created the ANSI and GOLD directories, and they are populated. I have the proper licenses including gold key. No matter what I try, on multiple installs, I can't get twa imports to work correctly. Anything I'm missing? |

Yeah, that's fun... OK I think the way I had to do it was to manually run an extern, then enter the game. You can delete your character before you open it to players, but the aliens won't spawn and create their home worlds until after someone enters the game. |

Thanks Cruncher - I seem to have figured it out, thanks to a suggestion from Vic. I noticed after messing with it for a long time that if I loaded certain games, and hit refresh in command center, I would see the alien races listed under the details tab; they also showed up properly in the alien manager, but didn't run in the game. However, for one game in particular - the sub zero edit posted on Micro's archive - no matter how many times I loaded it, the details page never showed up at all. Vic's suggestion was that if you try to load a v2 twa export in a v1 server, all sorts of bad stuff happens. IE, don't do it. So, though Micro thinks it's a v1 game (and may be right).. I re-imaged the VM for the third time and installed clean and went through the exact same loading process, but this time started with the Star Trek edit from that site and didn't try to load Subzero first (which I had tried the previous several times). Lo and behold, everything worked perfectly. So, either the subzero twa on the archive is corrupted, or it's for v2, or some other bizarre phase of the moon issue is occurring that I can't explain (but can replicate with 100% accuracy, and only with that twa file). There's another subzero twa posted on the forums from a while back that claims to be the "original" and that one loads fine. |
