Return of the Rejects:

Server seems to be down since 24 hours now.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

All three I'm in on the server are down now.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Same here. Our Karan game has been in limbo for almost two weeks now. Has anybody seen Sheap recently?

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Does anyone know where Sheap is?
He doesnt answer my PM`s and I desperately need 48 hours quickhost in Return of the Rejects now.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Oddly enough, I'm now quite comfortable with 24QH on that game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Hmm, it looks like Sheap is MIA atm unfortunately. ;(


So has anybody been able to contact him though any means for the Last several weeks? His nick is stil Online on IRC but he is not really there. If he can't continue to run his server for some reason perhaps he could send out game files, so we could get another host and continue our games?

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Patience, my friends.

I have heard the distributed groaning and taken the matter up with sheap. I now have access to all the games he is running on benatar and a limited degree of control. So your games are not doomed.

Unfortunately, I am currently COMPLETELY SWAMPED at work and likely to remain so through till monday. After that I should be able to help out with the server administration.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Ok. I have a bit of free time now so I can manage your game if you are having trouble on sheap's server.

I am not particuarly experienced with dom2 server commandlines and whatnot so if someone was willing to give me a primer that would be excellent. Otherwise PM me or post your gripes in this thread and I will attempt to address them

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Thank you for taking the matter in your hands Ironhawk.

When you'll have a chance, please take a look at "Karan_game". I think it is frozen atm. Please give it a frienfly kick in the butt. It should be set to 48h host. No quikchost for now, since the game have been down for 2-3 weeks now and it'll take timne to get players up to speed, based upon my previous experience with it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thanks again for your efforts, most appreciated.

Regards,
Stormbinder

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

I believe I have now restarted KaranGame, 48hr host, no quickhost. Check and see.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Hi Ironhawk,

please set Return of the Rejects(Port 2000) to 48 hours quickhost.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Ironhawk,

Thanks for starting the game up again. I was wondering if you could disable the automatic hosting for the moment. It may take a little time to let everyone know that the game is going again.

Quickhost could be turned on, but without a timer. This way we will have more time to get a hold of all the players. Once everything is accounted for we could switch it back to a 48 hour QH.

Thanks again for taking this task over! It is greatly appreciated.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Ah so, ah so.

Due to my inexperience with running the server I thought the 48hr option and the quickhost option were different. but the 48 is just the time on which the quickhost operates? I bounced Karan_game and restarted with the following command line - is it correct?

dom2 -S --port 2001 -T KaranGame

I am pretty sure that means it will not quickhost at all but will just wait indefinitely.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Mardagg, Return of the Rejects has been bounced with the following commandline:

dom2 -S --port 2000 -T --hours 48 ReturnOfTheRejects

I just bumped the 24 hours parameter to 48 so I think that should work for ya. Let me know if its good.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Yeap, Maltrease is right. I think this is the best thing to do atm for our game.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Ironhawk, could you set our game (Return of the Rejects) to quickhost? 48-hour host is too long, right now we have 30 hours left and everyone has taken their turn.

Thanks.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Thanks Ironhawk.
Now only quickhost is still missing,as CUnknown already pointed out.
48 hour schedule with quickhost on would be perfect.
I dont know the command for this, though.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Ok, I added the quickhost option to your game and it appears to be generating the new turn now. Take a look and see if its all good.

Also, I've been wondering if we should move this thread over to the MP forum? How do we go about that?

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

To get the thread moved, ask Zen, Johan, or Kristoffer.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

Could we get the Modded game restarted? It appears to have been hung up for quite some time now.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

It didnt appear to be hung when I looked at it, but I bounced it again, just in case. Let me know if it works for you now.

Re: Sheap-Hosted Games-Read if your game moved ser
 

It's up now, but wasn't yesterday (or the week or so before). Thanks!
