New & raw web based Dominion II game server

[JJ_Colorado]

Hi Esben,

It looks like our game Newbie_Intermediate is now stuck. It says 1 minute to host but it is not hosting and I can't connect to it on port 2287. Could this be a result of your code change to only allow letters and numbers in game names?

Help?

Thanks,
John

P.S. If you want to try connecting just email me at johnpruner at yahoo.com to get my password.

Esben can you please help me ?

In my first game on your server Lex plays Caelum . Huzardaddi uploaded Caelum before Lex uploaded his pretender . I was sleeping at this time and meanwhile Huzardaddi went anonymous and Lex uploaded his pretender . I offered on the next day to Lex to delete him that he can upload again . He said it should work fine and so we just started now .

But now Lex has Huzardaddi's pretender . Is there any way expect stopping the game and creating a new one for Lex to get his pretender ?
He and Thufir suggested that if he goes anonymous , i kick him and he reuploads and we restart this might work .
Does this or something else work ? Perhaps Lex can mail you his pretenderfile for this special game and you can replace manually Huzurdaddi's pretender with Lex pretender ?

As it is creating the game again is a bit sad because all other 16 players would need to reupload their pretenders again . If we don't restart i feel guilty though for trusting Lex and not persuading him to get kicked in order to be sure


Thnx in advance

P.S. : The game is Newbiegame 3 v2 port 2303 .
The problem is with the Caelum pretender .

Sorry, no, once the game is started there is nothing anyone can do. Check those md5sums! md5sum plus a lots of other utilities from "a real OS" can be downloaded here http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.

Again, I'm sorry.

Thnx Esben . No need to apology . It was mainly Lex's fault and mine a bit too for not being persistent enough and simply believing Lex everything is fine .

And thnx for your really good server . If there wouldn't be your server i guess i would play a lot less dominions 2 mp

Hmmm, I never considered it that way. So, Esben, I guess it's your fault I play too much Dominions!

I can't seem to find anything wrong now. I just restarted the game and it was fine. My changes were purely in the webpages, so a running game shouldn't be affected in any case.

boron: that was lex's fault for not checking that the slot was free before trying to upload his pretender. Since the game has already started w/ Huzurdaddi's pretender, the only solution would be to stop the game and start a new one.

since that's a real pain, and since really it is due to lex himself, I would suggest that lex learn to love his new god

Seems to have happened again (Newbie_Intermediate getting stuck), unless Jotunheim is taking a _very_ long turn.

[Esben Mose Hansen]

I see the problem. It's the Jabber notification system that has gone sour. Will fix tonight ... need to work now (Waiting for a compile to finish...)

Sweet. I'm glad that it was so quick to diagnose. Thanks again for the great server!
