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

OK, I checked.

The mod appears to be the same content, but the one you sent me had been converted to RTF text format. So I downloaded the new one and reset the server.

I'm surprised it loaded the game at all. A little worried too.

This is my first time hosting a modded game. Do I have to enable the mods using commandline switches? Shouldn't it just use the mods automatically? And as a result shouldn't it have puked on the invalid .dm file? Or would that happen only when it was time to generate the turn? No turns have been generated yet.

Now that the patch is out, I should say that I am not planning to upgrade to 2.13 right away. Largely because, Last I heard, the Linux patch is not working, and I host on Linux.

Once the patch is working, I can leave the decision up to the players in the games. It will be possible for me to run 2.12 and 2.13 games simultaneously.

This policy applies to the benatar.snurgle.org games on these ports:
Return of the Rejects (2000)
KaranGame (2001, formerly Graeme hosted)
Modded (2003, formerly Graeme hosted)
Cradle_of_Zen (2004, formerly Norfleet hosted)
CasualCarnage (2005)
Pantheons (2006)

as well as any future games that I might host.

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

I noticed you did a good job in the Last turn.
Do you want to keep the game for yourself? Sadly my Abysya was doomed even before your sub.

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

More patch info...

In general: As of now the Linux patch is not working at all, this prevents me from upgrading just yet. Once the Linux patch is fixed, it will be up to the organizer of the game whether to update that game to 2.13 or keep it at 2.12. I can run some games on 2.12, and others 2.13, so not everyone has to upgrade at once.

It seems there is a fairly serious bug in 2.13 causing crashes with various artifacts. Until the scope of this bug is determined, and either fixed or workarounds discovered, I'm going to recommend against using the new patch, but the final decision is up to the players.

Anyone that upgrades to 2.13 will still be able to play on 2.12 servers, but the battle replays will be wrong. Not sure if the reverse is true or not, it probably is.

Mr. Sheap,

Our Karan game is having a problem. It is saying the turn file is corrupted.

Please nuzzle us back to health.

I am sorry I have been paying zero attention for the past 3 days or so to anything Dominions related.

I stopped this game while we decide what to do, and posted in the game thread, we should continue discussion there.
