Re: PBW status
 

Ok, the server is mostly functioning. The emails are now being sent for new turns and news, and you can send in email turns, however there is a problem with that. This will only affect people using the email to submit their .plr files. The turn emails are going out with "null" in the subject line instead of a turn code, so if you send your .plr file by email PBW isn't going to recognize it. I have an idea what is the problem, but until I can get it fixed you will have to use the website to submit your turns.

Re: PBW status
 

Is it just me or is the "remember me" function broken? I have to log in every time I visit the site... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Eh is it possible that emails were NOT send ? I just logged in to PBW and 3 of my games await my turn files even though im 100% percent sure i uploaded my turns before PBW went offline and now new turns are awaiting turn submission..

See Geo's most recent post http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBW status
 

I'm having that problem as well. Frustrating. I'll try to find out what's causing it.

Re: PBW status
 

The outgoing emails were broken, but they shold be working for any new turns from tis point on.

Re: PBW status
 

I tried logging into PBW and it just keeps saying problems with the server etc. So I would assume the system is still down.... I'm unabale to even log into PBW to obtain the turn, but I will wait patiently until fixed.... I have faith in you to lower our withdrawal attacks by furiously working in the 9- degree heat and 90+ humidity so us addicts can obtain our fix.... LOL

Re: PBW status
 

I just logged in without a hitch.

Re: PBW status
 

hmmm, strange there Fyron, I just tried again and I still get the Sorry... server problem message by the admin.... hmmmm

Re: PBW status
 

Mac you need to clear you browser cache. Try hitting refresh a couple times. Maybe ctrl+F5. I think that's a cache refresh.

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, I have to take the server down for a bit to work on some things. Shouldn't be long.

Re: PBW status
 

problem solved, it was the cache DOH,, tks Fyron and Geo, back up and playing, My withdrawal is almost gone, wife was ready to commit me to the booby hatch, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, I'm done workign on it for tonight. Servers back up and running. I think I have the email problems licked. It looks like it's putting the proper codes in the subject line with the new turns now. It also looks like it's remembering me when I log back in. If someone else could confirm that's working I'd appreciate it.

Re: PBW status
 

I don't know about the email subject codes (haven't gotten a new turn recently enough), but it's remembering my login just fine.

Re: PBW status
 

Mine works fine to...now if I can just get two people to do there turns... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You may not believe this, but it's out again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Edit: ahh, never mind http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, one more quick update this morning. Last night I got the emails working where it would put the proper code in the turn email subject line. Howeever it wasn't processing those correctly when you sent them back with your .plr file, so the process still wasn't working. I've got that fixed now so you can submit your turns via email again.

I think everything is now back to working the way it was before we had our problems this weekend. There might still be some catch up we have to do on the most recent mods Georgig added. I have to check with him on that.

I'm going to leave auto turns off for a while longer.

Re: PBW status
 

Thanks for all of your hardwork Geo and I am glad that it was not something more serious.

Re: PBW status
 

Ditto.

Re: PBW status
 

Geo, just curious, when do you think the system will be ready to go back to full automation? Hope all is well

Re: PBW status
 

A very odd thing happened in my game "The Air That We Breathe". The server could not execute the turn, but this tiny game played out in less than ten seconds on my computer. This has happened on two consecutive turns after running flawlessly for some 40 turns.

The only changes are the recent probs with the server and one player being kicked.

During execution, a couple pop-ups had to be clicked off that server handles routinely.

Geo, I checked the root and noticed one emp file was missing. Could this be the cause? Can it be corrected. I still have the emp files on hand.

Re: PBW status
 

Grandpakim, don't do the turn offline next time. If it fails again let me know and I can watch it on the server and see what's happeing.

EDIT: Never mind. I found what was wrong. The turn shouldn't fail anymore.

Re: PBW status
 

Will do!

Re: PBW status
 

I have turned the auto turns back on for the server. Everything should be back up and running now.

Re: PBW status
 

Man i love PBW so much http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Doing a little preventative maintence on the server this morning. It will only be down a few minutes.

Re: PBW status
 

Oh, forgot to post when I was done this morning. Just so there's no confusion, I'm done.

Re: PBW status
 

Ack, I think I killed PBW... was downloading my turn for Carrier Battles #6 but it wouldn't unzip... tried again, still no luck, and now I can't access PBW at all (Internal Server Error)... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: PBW status
 

I can't open it either! It just sits there not doing anything....

Re: PBW status
 

The same............

Re: PBW status
 

I get a "Connection refused" error when trying to access PBW.

Re: PBW status
 

I rebooted. Looks like it's ok now.

Re: PBW status
 

That's odd... is it just me, or is it currently impossible to download .gam zip files?
edit: nm, now it works http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Hi! I was wondering, is it cheating to use an already played race for a PBW game? I mean, an empire that has some experience points? I have not found any info concerning this. Thanks. Sorry if I placed this in the wrong thread.

Re: PBW status
 

Nope, that's not cheating (if I'm reading what you wrote correctly). The experience points that accrue have absolutely no effect in game. If I remember correctly, they used to but proved to be unbalancing.

Re: PBW status
 

Thank you. I am going to reitterate, so I can make sure we both know what I'm talking about. :} I develop a race I kinda like and play a single player game(s). I save the empire and then I decide to use it for a PBW game. I alter the things I need to with this race to conform to the game requirments. You indicated that the experience points gained do not make any difference and this is not cheating. Do I have this correct? Thanks. Just want to make sure. Don't want to be accused of doing some PBW "sin".

Re: PBW status
 

Experience points don't do anything - there just for atmospere so feel free to use your empire file as much as you want.

Re: PBW status
 

okay, thank you all so very much.

The out of memory error is back! Please turn off turn processing until we can access our games!
Thank you very much! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Umm? I just accessed and submitted turns and more for the last hour...

Re: PBW status
 

Oops, must have been a cache error... it's working now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

My game was supposed to auto process this morning. Is auto processing still turned off on PBW?

Re: PBW status
 

I have not been having any trouble accessing my game over the last week. Must have missed the above issues!? Wasn't so lucky today though. I have just tried to access my game again and I got this error message.

Same thing over here, exactly the same error msg.

Yep, here too. I am going to get gas. Prices are going up again in the US.

I own an ex-Ambulance, just put a 350 Chev V8 on LPG into it. I have a fleet card and get my LPG for .62c per litre. Its cheaper to run than my girlfrinds Nissan pulsar! Laughing! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_NewZeland.gif[/img]

Re: PBW status
 

I'm getting the out of memory error too... didn't someone once mention that PBW was being harvested by spammers for email addresses? Perhaps there is some sort of malware on the system...
