Re: PBW server is back up.
 

The game owner can't upload the .plr files. You have to upload the three game files and the players have to upload their .plr files.

Ok, coupla things. I am going to be workign on this for a while tonight. Things aren't 100%. First of all it doesn't look like the email is working. Game owners don't assume everyone is getting your news Messages. Cut your players some slack. I have to check that out.

You may also see some speed issues with the site. Phone company is checking that out. But it should stay up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

also registration is not working.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Meaning you didn't get an email with your registration password? The email wasn't working, but I think I have it fixed now. If you already registered but didn't get your password, try usign the password retrieval now. It should email you the password. If not try registering again. If that doesn't work, email me at and we'll talk about what's happening.

Wow... now what will I do the rest of the work quarter... I'll be so busy with PBW again that I won't have time for anything else... like that new Dominions 2 game... say, now wouldn't be the best time to ask if anyone plans on setting up something like dom2.pbw.cc, would it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

Hey Geoschmo, if I send you the links, could you update the Star Trek Mod to v1.34?

Right now the 1.20 Version is what is on the PBW server and it is grossly out dated. Better to go with the latest FULL Version which is 1.3.1 then I can send you the link to 1.3.4 Version.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

seiv.pbw.cc seems to be getting directed to the temporary site still, whereas www.pbw.cc is not getting redirected there. Just the root index, as URLs like http://seiv.pbw.cc/graphic/index.jsp are working fine.

It does work in the text-based mode, but that is hardly a solution.

Thank you. I just wanted to be sure it was on your list of things to do. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I do appreciate your time and such and know that you are a busy guy. So thanks again for running PBW.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

Yep I created a game. I got the usual "page not found" error message but it's nothing new. The only thing which is changed is the "page not found" error message. It's a bit different, perhaps a different font.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

I have a PBEM to PBW question, figured this was the best place to post it. I also figure that Geoschmo is the best person to answer, but I am guessing it is a common enough problem that others know the answer too.

I have a PBEM game that I started with 3 players and 2 AI empires and some neutrals. Now, the neutrals are all dead, but I have players for all 5 empires (including the two former AI ones).

I now want to move this game to PBW. Is there anything special I need to do to deal with the "former AI now played" empires?

I am setting up my first PBW game this week, so I figure I'll understand the basics of setting up PBWs, but want to make sure I head off any problems related to this game.

Thanks,

Alarik

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

Just set up the game with each player in correct order on PBW and upload the .gam file and all should be ok. The game should recognize after the first turn that the neutral players are dead.

The game on PBW must be set up just like your PBEM game. IE all players must be in the same spot, that is human players and AI. Neutrals dont need to be, as they are generated by the game. So if you have players for all five empires, just put the players in the order they need to go and your off.

This is what I would do. But I am no PBW expert, wait for Fyron or Geoschmo to answer before doing anything.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

You do not need to set up AI empires on the PBW site, UNLESS they come before human empires. As long as all human empires are in lower player numbers than all AI empires, then all you do is assign each player to the proper empire name on the PBW site, and upload the turn files zipped up (don't forget .cmb and .log (or whatever the other 2 extensions are)) as AT said. If there are any AI empires between or before any human empires, you will need to set those AI empires up as human empires, using dummy player names, and then mark them dead.

Re: PBW server is back up.
 

Well, no empires are dead yet, but they all have players, and since the AI empires all came after the human players, it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem so long as I have *.EMP files for each of the 5 empires...thanks
