PBW support for version 1.25

Submitted by geoschmo on Sun, 2007-02-04 11:53. Space Empires V Multiplayer

I have added support for SE5 ver 1.25, including support for Balance mod ver 1.03, Golden Eclipse Mod ver 1.0 Beta, and Gritty Galaxy Public Mod beta. I haven't tested the Golden Eclipse and Gritty mods to verify they work with ver 1.25, these are the same versions of the mods that were available with 1.20.

Uprgading an exsisting stock games from 1.20 to 1.25 should work fine. There may be issues with mod games, consult the mod creator for more specific information in that regard.

There is still no way currently to upgrade a game on PBW from an older to a more recent version of a mod. For SE5 there is only one version of the mod pn PBW per version of SE5. In Se5 there is still no way to change the game type folder name being used in the game, so the only way to change the mod for a game is to change the files in the game type folder. Doing so on PBW will change the files for every game usign that mod. If you are playing an existing game of 1.20 with balance mod ver 1.01 and want to upgrade it to 1.25 you will have to upgrade to 1.25 with balance mod 1.03. There are reports that this is a problem. If you want to upgrade to 1.25 but remain on 1.01 of the mod you'll have to have the game owner run the turns offline.

Well since the AI isn´t going to be fixed so soon, I would like to play a multiplayer game... is PBW the best way? TCP/IP still sucks? What do I have to do to host ou join a game? Is MP SEV popular, or few people are playing? Thanx

From reading some of your comments earlier, it sounds like you might have some of the same interests?

OT Badger isn’t all that likely to post his location as there is a KZIN warship in orbit and it has a FSM on two in its tubes with his name on it. Not to mention that strange Eee looking ship thingy whose captain wants some mittens.

ON topic as soon as the game stabilizes (patches mods not bugs) I would be quite happy to unleash the wrath of the Great Khan of Kzin upon the unenlightened and misguided followers of the black and white furred one.

Golden Eclipse and Gritty Galaxy? What are these mods and what do they focus on?

Golden Eclipse is a mod by KevinArisa (actually one of the artists for SE:V). It has a thread over at the Shrapnel Games forums, but they're currently down so I can't provide a link.

Gritty Galaxy is SuicideJunkie's mod - a combination of his Carrier Battles and Gritty Economics mods for SE:IV. There's a forum at SE.net that has some brief discussion:

So is 1.25 PBW working, or are their still complaints?

I fear no Kzinti, BadKitty - I researched Catnip.
Unfortunately, my only 'followers' are stalkers looking for black & white striped mittens. Next; boots, i expect, all the better for kicking puppies...
