Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Well my laptop hardrive died over Sunday night but I just got my new system up and will be sending my pretendar asap. Sorry for the delay.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

OK, I must be really stupid. I cannot find the e-mail address of the game host. Can someone post it, or send me a private message, or something?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It's ok, it is actually burried deep inside this thread. I overlooked it myself first time I went searching for it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The address was

grdice (at) sasktel dot net

Obviously you need to replace "(at)" and "dot" with the appropriate symbols - Graeme has been trying to fool vile spambots here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

I've now received everybody's pretender, so the game can start now. I'll send you all an email with the IP address and port to connect to.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Have the e-mails been sent? If so, I did not get mine.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

The game has now started, and I have sent out all the emails. If you don't receive one shortly, let me know.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

BTW Graeme, are you planing to switch on 24h quickhost after the first turn, or we are going to stay on 48 quickhost for the duration of the game?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It will stay on 48 hours for the duration, since my schedule makes 24 hr turns difficult to manage.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Have not recieved any e-mail yet.

Nevermind I got your PM thanks.

PS - Anyway I can get you to stop torching my armies in our other Karan game??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Is there going to be any way to check if the turn has hosted or not, short of connetcing there using Dom2 client? (automatic emails notifications or new turns announcement on this thread or whatever?)

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

I can always post when new turns are run in this thread if people would like that. In that case, it should probably get moved to the multiplayer forum.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I think it would be great, since it is faster and more convinient to check the thread in the forum than to start and close dom2 client every time when you want to check the game status during its 48hours turnaround.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

BTW it looks like Marignon (Rainbow) is about to miss his turn, unless he will show up very soon.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Marignon did miss his turn, but everyone else made it. We are now on turn 2, and if Marignon doesn't make this one, I'll set him to AI.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

It's my first MP game, and I didn't know about the IP entered by numpad bug. I managed to connect to the game now, and have submitted orders for turns 2 and 3.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

I vote for an email at each turn generation. Shouldn't be any harder than posting here that a new turn was generated. That way I don't need to worry about finding and checking the post.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Graeme,

What are your plans re: patching to 2.12?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

We've now hosted turn 3. I'll be upgrading to Version 2.12 as long as no Utgard type bugs show up.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I agree, it is the most convinient method from players perspective.

Is there such option for Dom2 host, or do you need some 3rd party program to do it?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I would need some kind of third party program to do it, which means that it won't be happening anytime soon. I'd much prefer if this thread was just moved to the MP forum.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Whatever is easier for you. I was just saying since you were going to have to manually post in the thread that the turn was generating, it wouldn't be to different from manually sending an email.

You could create an address group for the game, or simply reply to all on the sent message that contained the game information.

Again... no big deal either way. I can keep an eye on thread.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

This topic has been moved as per Graeme's Request.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Are we updating to the patch?

Also is the server down? I can get on the 11111 port game but not on this one port 5555?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

This game is updating to the patch immediately, as at least one turn was sent in with Version 2.12.

That was why you could only get at the 11111 game.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

All we're missing is Vanheim's turn, then I can set it to run.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

We are now on turn 4.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

It looks like Vanheim is going to miss 2nd turn in row.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

It does, however, I will be away this weekend, so I pretty much have to let it run it's course. If he does miss his turn again then I'll have to set him to AI.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Trying to join the game currently causes my machine to hang. Anyone else having this problem?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">My computer does not hang, but Graeme's server appears to be down, I can't connect to it.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

The server is back up, and we are now on turn 5.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Since Vanheim has missed the Last two turns, I will be setting him to AI for the next turn.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Ummm... Turn six. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Has the server crashed once again?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yep. We're now on turn 7.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Server has crashed once again while trying to host new turn.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

We are now on turn 8.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Just something that made me laugh at myself.

Last turn Vanhiem attacked into my water province. So when I saw the turn I was quite suprised. I started thinking of the message I would send to him. I said to myself this guy sure is aggressive attacking Atlantis underwater so early. So I wrote out my message in Wordpad first trying to be diplomatic and such. So when I go to send the message.....ooops it was the AI! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 9.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 10. It looks like I may have found a solution to the crashing problem.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 11. And the timer is down.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Crashed.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 12.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 13. There may be delays in turn processing over the next weekend.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

Turn 14. I've set the host to go on Friday night in 48 hours, and then on Monday night.

Abysia missed their turn this time.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

I have been unable to log onto the server over the past 24hr. Is it down?

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Couldn't log on Friday, can't log on today.

Re: MP Game - Graeme\'s New Game
 

There must have been a power outage in my building over the weekend. The server is now back up, and should be working fine now.
