(Just curious: what program gives the error message "incorrect race.nm file"?)

You can always download the current race.nm file (and all other current game files) from the website. There's a "Files: Browse" link on the game page. The server automatically emails the game files only for your first turn, but it always keeps the download area up-to-date.

Oh, hi, Stefan, nice to read you again (I followed some threads from you in PlanetsServer forums some years back)

Well, my race.nm file now works flawlessly, thank you very much. I think that the problem arose when player 9 changed his name from "Robotic" to "Cylon", but I don't know why I was the only one who got the error message.

Perhaps it is related with the program I play with. I began using latest VPA (3.67b), but it was very slow and sometimes froze when activating some views in the map (and not only when playing via DosBox in a 64bits platform, it also happened on a pure x86 computer). So, I decided to use old VPA 3.62c, where everything works smooth. Perhaps the race.nm file got corrupted when I changed the VPA version (don't know even if such thing makes sense).

Regards!

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
