Sure we do! Coming back for more, or are you just here to say hello?

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

Not really sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif It's a mite expensive, and I'm not sure if I will play it enough to justify it. But I have some time to think about it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I read around a bit... seems you have had some problems with the server. Really, you should just have emailed me (and again, if I didn't reply, I sometimes miss the important messages in all the spam/mailinglists).

Oh, and my offer of the source code is of course still valid. From what I've read, the code should run more or less unmodified http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif I suppose the thing still need all those libs? :/

Hehe, I had forgotten my own sig. I love that quote http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

And hi everyone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Good to see you all again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

Hey, welcome back!
I'd love to see the source code for your (very nice) web page. I'd be happy to have a clone of it up and running for people to play on...

Thanks!

I'm sorry to say that I don't remember Esben, but Mose Hansen is a legend from a more heroic era, of one of the greatest victories for the MP community. Welcome back! Maybe I'll learn your full name this time around.

*whew* big sigh of relief. Glad to see you back EMH.
You want a login? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ok, I have finally managed to pack up the pages http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Installation instructions, very quickly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif)

1. Setup apache+modperl+ssl
2. unpack http://www.mosehansen.dk/dom-hosting.tar.bz2 in cgi-bin, or a subdirectory thereof
3. copy dom.css to some suitable place, like htdocs (must be accessible, e.g. as /dom.css
4. Setup db:
4a. mysql -u root -p
4b. create database dom3
4c. grant ALL on dom3.* TO dom3@localhost IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD "498fDj398d";
4d. quit
5d. mysql -u dom3 -p dom3 < dom.sql
5. copy dom2host.conf.template to dom2host.conf and adjust usernames, password, roots and whatever you think appropriate
6. fire up pages. Create yourself as a user.
7. Make yourself root:
7a. mysql -u dom3 -o dom3
7b. update player set group_name = 'root' where player_name = 'myname';
7c. quit
8. Find out how to install the key. I think it goes into "(null)"/dominions3/key", but it's a bit hazy now.

It is also useful to know that the games leaves a game_name.log file with everything the game outputs and more. You might want to delete these occasionally, too, though I never bothered to.

From there, everything should be peachy. When something goes wrong, feel free to ask me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Gandalf: Login? To where?

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

To my servers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
In case it would be helpful to your working on some project.

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

oh, thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I have my own server for now, though, and as long as I don't actually own a copy of dom3...

It might be good to have more servers if the popularity goes ballistic like it did in dom2. Or maybe I should do an file-based server this time around. Maybe a job for Ruby... ON RAILS!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

I will gladly give you a copy of Dom3 for all you have done in the past and hope that you find the time and energy to do the same in the future. You have been most appreciated. We as well as the fans owe you great!

PM me or send a mail to kristoffer(at)illwinter.com if you want a copy.

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
 

Wow. That was totally unexpected. I would be grateful and very honered to accept! I have emailed you my address. Thank you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
