Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

That seems to be the case, as two games exhibit this problem, both of which are down with somebody still connected.

Personally, I'd code something to automatically detect this and delete the offending file. I'd probably give harsher penalties after repeated incidents from the same person, but I'm also a big fan of draconian punishments. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

No 'seeming' about it, it is the case.

That's what happens when people who shall remain
unnamed patch someone else's PC, watch the
unsuspecting patsy crash the game on lunch break,
and then go and post 'guesses' on public forums.

;-)

Yeah. If you connect with a patched client to
an unpatched game on Mosehansen's server, you
will stop the game. I guess no game will be
running in a few hours.

Holy Mose, save us!

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

Our Urgaria game did not take any of our Last orders when the game hosted. At least not for me and Peter.

I got a message saying that "Your 2H file was from another saved game. You have not given any new orders this Last turn."

I have not touched the patch on any of my computers.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So which options are you most interested in? The score graph is one I guess. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">My, you are brave. Well, pseudorandom, here's my list:

1. Enablement of mods.
2. All the victory conditions --- win by research, win by dominion, more detailed VP setup.
3. Score graphs disable.

If you do that, I'll do my part and add them to my server http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Another (small, I hope) request: I understand that item modding would be difficult, but would it be possible to add an option simply to remove a specific item? So those of us who don't like to spend hours shuffling fetishes, clams and their produce could remove those two items.

That would rekindle my interest in this game, I think http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

The server has not been pathed yet, right Mose? If so, do you have any ETA by any chance?

(I don't want to crash our game with wrong patch)

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It has, as announced on the Welcome page.

To bend this in neon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

THE SERVER IS NOW AT VERSION 2.12, BUT RUNNING GAMES MUST BE RESTARTED FOR THIS TO TAKE EFFECT

All games with me as game owner has already been restarted.

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

Hi there,

There's a game on the server called "Mark's game" which is redundant and can be deleted.

I'd originally used it as a test and intended to play a two-player game, but the server was already full and the game stayed stopped.

Anyway, I've learnt how to create games and that one's just wasting a slot. Fell free to kill it.

Newflash: MD5 checksum of Gods and computer controlled nations now displayed on Browse Game screen.

You want to be sure that you uploaded that pretender? Really sure? Well, now I display the md5 128-bit checksum, hex-encoded, in the browse game screen.

So all you have to do is to compare this sum with the output of

md5sum mynation.2h

on your on own computer. If they match, it is your pretender. If not--- not. I now also display whether a nation is computer controlled.

Will a windows and a mac user please supply how you make a md5 checksum? I'm sure Solaris can use the instructions above.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">On windows you can do it by running:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">md5sum mynation.2h </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That is assuming you have md5sum. My understanding is that it doesn't come with older Versions of Windows. Though it probably doesn't come with newer Versions of Windows either.
