Both Sharivar1 and YARG2 should have hosted but haven't yet.

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

It isn't sending out turn reminders either, mmight2 is just past its timer but I never received a notice 6 hrs ago like I normally do.

GRAAAH!

So this was an unrelated problem to the other one, but has ended up being more annoying.

Some game was taking an infinite amount of time to host. That's a dom3 bug, not a llamaserver bug. While waiting for the game to finish hosting the server can't do anything else, which is why it appeared to have stopped working.

Well unfortunately, that meant I had to log in and prod it again. The llamaserver really doesn't do well with me prodding it, because it does things and I do things in parallel and bad things happen. The bad thing that happened this time was that somehow all the maps got deleted. That's pretty bad - that set of maps aren't stored together anywhere else. And I didn't back them up. :o STUPID LLAMA. For some reason I backed up the mods, and the code, but not the maps.

Anyway, this has no effect at all on games currently running, but will mean that any new game that attempts to start will disappear. I've therefore put up a notice on the front page of the llamaserver to say that people should avoid starting games until I've restored the maps. I can restore any individual map on demand quite quickly though, so it shouldn't really cause problems.

I think what I will do is make a new page "Old Map and Mod browser" showing all the old maps which existed, and then start again with the llamaserver map list, with just a small set of maps. If you want to use any map from the old list which isn't on the new list, you'll just need to upload it again.

Man, how annoying.

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

Sharivar1 has completely disappeared off the llamaserver after trying to host.

It apparently got the Ngt etc...message, saying someone had sent in a faulty 2h file but I reckon this is not the case at all, just llamaserver having a mad fit.

Thank you llama for fast reaction and all your efforts!

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

Games are still not being hosted, i.e. :
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Harkonnen

I presume llama is still working on it?

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

Meglobob - that's hopefully fixed, I've just sent an e-mail to all affected players.

Viajero - I think it just has a massive backlog to get through.

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

The game Apotheosis have disappeared. It hadn't started yet so I'll just re-created it. Just thought I should let you know.

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

Countdown has disappeared as well. When I last checked before I left for work, it was still there, and all the turns had been submitted, but it hadn't hosted yet.

Re: LlamaServer oddities
 

Thanks Llama:)

Sharivar1 hosted correctly with no problems.:)
