I know there were a topic on this somewhere, just can't find it Confused

Please enlight me, how can I submit a turn of my ally (he is away and asked me to replace him for a turn), without triggering pirating alarm on both our races. I don't have his stars serial nor his computer, and he is already away, so all I got is the race password and upload password.

Help strongly appreciated!

just as long as both moves are done on the same machine there is no problem. Smile

I knew that was something simple Rolling Eyes Laughing

Let me say it again, to be sure:

If two races are submited in separate machines with separate Stars! serials it's OK.
If two races are submited on the same machine with the same serial, it's still OK, even if one of those races was previously submited from other machine with other serial?

Yes.

EXCEPTION - IIRC, if your partner sent you a partial turn before leaving, that he started on his machine, and you finish it, it will still trigger the protection. Both turns need to be started, and sent, from the same machine. Best to just use his history file in these cases, and create your own .x file from scratch.

I've also heard (but never tried) that if you have got a partial turn from another machine, open it up, delete the .x file, then save it. That removes the other machine's 'signature', so it's perfectly OK.

Do as the Madman says. Nod You should find confirmation by searching for threads on "copy protection" or directly here: http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th=238 7&start=0&rid=625&S=a317e4460674f2dc695723ece520 1754



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
