***TBML 8 SEASON MODE***

Great job BC.

I think the water is supposed be blue though. Thats all that I see thats different from CBs.

I'm curious how some were able to enter server and others were not.
I am also eager to hear that it wont happen again.

The invalid packet usually comes from the sky file. Players need to download the x pack or Dazzle all in one pack and install it. If not the whole thing get the skies. I have next weeks map running, I suggest all players join until they spawn even if you do it over night.

^^Baba, I loaded the maps prior to the league starting. I think CB had them running on his server. I just joined the server one night before going to bed and let the maps load.

CB, Reggie Taco finally made it last night after the games were over. He mentioned the problem was with one of the mod packs. Could there be a problem with X pack and some maps?

Jerry made the statement that players should load the maps prior to game night to resolve issues prior to game time. If the map is not available to load, how can this happen?

Which brings me to my next question captains... There were two teams unable to play because of the problems, we were down a player because of the problem. How will this be corrected? A redo of this week's play or not have these games count?

@ Jerry,, the water in the swamp is green and in your cbMods folder there should be a folder called tyswampflat.
If your getting invalid packet, Dazzle thinks that sometimes the hoster does not send the sky file. If you have all the skies in the skies folder you should not get that error.

@ all, If you have a flat.dts file in your Shapes folder, you need to remove it and make sure your cbMods folder is in the Shapes folder and is complete. This way the flat.dts can be used by any modder and the skin changed as long as they put it in a separate folder inside there folder eg.... game/data/shapes/cbMods/tyswampflat . If that flat.dts is directly in the shapes folder and you enter any of my maps using a different flat <--(flat is a colored object used to simulate water), you will not see the right color. A complete cbMods folder can be downloaded from here:

just who exactly is responsible for picking the maps this season? i dont recall being asked my opinion and we dont have a commissioner?

i must say the maps have been horrid and have been a negative impact on the league this season. battlebridge was great though!

If there was a rotation of maps to pre-download I missed them and I am sorry for that. I would have joined had I seen it. Past season(s) the map was up in a server the week before game time which was convenient & there were very few issues as this. Even at the busiest times I can usually sneak on a bit during a weekend to pre download, and will, if the map is up. There was something odd about this last map though. Next weeks map is hosted so there should be no issues like this past weeks.

@Banshee, the preload is a announcement. Its the top thread in the leagues forums.

[Banshee]

No, I had the .ter file, but I was relying getting the rest of the items by downloading ahead of game time, the link to Dazzles was for Windows, so I was getting the rest of the files by keeping an eye out for the server ahead of game and downloading.

^^^Bolo check the threads from oct/nov last year when the league was just getting put together. CB ran the map rotation on his server for a vote of which maps we should use.

Maps have definitely been interesting.

No one has added their opinion about last week's games. Captains, what do we do, a do-over, not count the week, or ???? We had two teams that did not compete because of the problems.
