Ooops, I just crashed the server. Sorry, I was out drinking. Gandalf is hosting on a linux box so we need to stay at 3.04 until the a working patch comes out, correct?

I got confused with the shortcuts for my own hosts, terribly sorry.

Just to keep everyone updated - Gandalf has taken his servers down for maintenance, in the hope that he'll be able to upgrade to 3.06 (he may or may not be able to). Not sure when it'll be back up, hopefully soon.

Update: Gandalf is still working on the server, apparently it's ended up being quite a big job (he's reinstalled the OS from scratch, by the sound of it). Please keep checking back here everyone, hopefully we can keep up the momentum of the game once it's fixed.

Looks like we are done

Thanks for the game all, it was pretty ammusing despite my aweful start.

testing testing 1 2 3

Restored files from THIS game have been moved to the other server and put online. Try it and see if it worked.
www.dom3minions.com or 63.199.8.158
port 8098

Its still running on version 3.04 until I figure out how to upgrade to the version of GLIBC that Johan used (which my OS still considers to be experimental)

It works! Gandalf I love you!

Okay everyone, the game is back up! As Gandalf says above, 63.199.8.158, port 8098, version still 3.04.

On another note, how would people feel about asking Gandalf to change to a 36 hour host, if he wouldn't mind? For me 24 hours is still fine, but I wonder if it might be getting a bit short for some people.

Thanks for putting the game back Gandalf... and thanks llmama for keeping an eye on it!

I am totally fine with a 36 hour (or longer turn time).

llamabeast · #88 February 6th, 2007, 09:08 PM

Okay, another update.

The server died again unfortunately due to another patch clash. So, we have another 36 hours, in which hopefully EvilHomer and Uninspired can have their turns, and hopefully we can find a sub for Agartha.

Gandalf's going to set the game to quit after this turn, transfer the game back to the original server, update to 3.06 and start it going again. So then finally, 36 hours from now, we'll have the game running on 3.06. So Uninspired and EvilHomer, if you really can't get 3.04 working, you'll only stale one turn and then we'll be back in business.

Please be careful not to log into the current server with 3.06 though, I'd be a bit embarrassed to ask Gandalf to restart it again and anyway it'd be good if we could get this turn processed.

Tyrant · #89 February 7th, 2007, 06:00 PM

and uploaded a 3.06 turn. I noticed it and uploaded a 3.04, so hopefuly it just overwrote and there won't be any damage, but my apologies in advance if it crashes the server.

llamabeast · #90 February 7th, 2007, 07:07 PM

Seems like it's fine, it normally crashes it immediately when the wrong-version turn file is received, so seems like we got away with it.
