New & raw web based Dominion II game server

Excellent. Nothing like a little bit of self-help.

Sorry about the no response; I just didn't get around to it.

I regard all disowned games as fair game; that is why anybody can stop them. I can't remember if the pages provides support for picking up ownership of a game, but if they don't, a mail or message to me will do the trick. Just in case anybody is participating in an unowned game and is getting nervous

A revelation !!!

I was wondering how a dinosaur like All_The_Nations got to be restarted, so I went to the "show all games page" to see how hard it would be to restart something.

I clicked a defunct game, and it's status page came up, with the message that the game couldn't be restarted as all slots were full !!

In other words, the mere act of getting a game's status from the "show all games" listing tries to restart the game.

This is clearly what's been happening. Someone browsing the all games page has innocently clicked a game, which has promptly restarted.

Any chance of getting this behaviour changed Esben ?

The games are not restarted just by browsing them When I print the forms, I check whether a form element makes sense. If it doesn't, I sometimes print a substitute message --- in this case the message that the game cannot currently be restarted.

The game was restartet on purpose ... I even got a mail about it, I think.

I've sent an email to the game creator. We will have to see. Thanks for the effort

Another week with no sign of life in this game.
Time for the axe?

It might worth taking another peek at the logfile for Semiblitz. Although it's a bit hard to tell (no timeout and the server saying it's at turn 1) there appears to be no activity in this game.

It appears that it is no longer possible to upload maps. I'm getting Error 500: Internal Server Error straight after the upload.

Yes, of course I followed the instruction about same file names, they are quite clear. And I changed the reference in script file itself accordingly.


Mose, I've just send a PM to you. Could you please take a look and see what's going on with our Thrne game? I've described our troubles and possible reason for it in PM. If you could get it started, it would be great, or if you could tell me what we need to do to make it start. I am using the Version of the map that I've uploaded myself, but you must have 2nd one from Zap as well - we uploaded at at the same time, indep. of each other.

Thank you,
Stormbinder

To Mose: Tried to restart again few more times as you sugested, but still same results as before - nagot "connection is broken", and the game is stoped.

[Esben Mose Hansen]

Now the game wants a map called cradlez. Give a me a bit to investigate this.
