<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So it has, so it has. I guess they wanted their game back and couldn't start it before. People seem to have taken their turns, anyway.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">But the game is still at turn 1.
Those turns may have been taken in April, well before Esben stopped the game.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I'll try this evening (GMT+1), thank you </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ok, I have joined a game.
How can I play?
I have a dial-up connection so I have to know when I must be connected.
At what time is transmitted my .2h to the server?
And when do I receive the .trn?
Now the game is in my menu. If I play the turn it is transmitted automatically to the server?
Sorry for the confusion but I have to understand how the syncronization works so I conncet at the right times. I never had a network (non e-mail) game.

Thank you.

md5sums are not being properly regurgitated in the BF_Napoleon's tournament game. Did something happen to this feature? Maybe you've inverted a condition check: It's returned in games that are RUNNING (where it is not terribly useful), but not, apparently, in a pending, open game, where we'd actually care about it to see if gazumping has occurred.

1. Playing offline: Just go Online, start dom, enter IP+port, select nation and enter password, then exit and go offline. Then you can play your turn (PLay existing...); when you're done repeat the process above.

2. Semiblitz was resurrected, and have at least 2 active players. In other words, I was mistaken in the "no turns since April" bit.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Apparantly, the dominions server turns any , (dot) and - (minus) into _ (underscore). I've changed the pages to the same, renamed your game to follow these rules and made the backups of your .2h files manually. I hope I didn't break anything http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well someone will have to start the game first. You can check to see the status of the game on Ebsen's site. It should be listed under "My Games" if you've done everything Ebsen told you to do. Once you see that it has started, then you play your turn by starting up DomII, selecting "Network," and putting in the address and then the port number for your game. Just like when you uploaded your Pretender. Once you've connected and played yourn turn, hitting the End Turn button will end your turn and send it to the server.

You don't have to play your turn at a particular time, but rather before the time limit for the turn is up. If you don't play your turn by the time limit then your nation won't do anything that turn, but you can still play the next turn. You can tell what the time limit is by checking Ebsen's server or by connecting to teh game and looking there. Many games are set so that if everyone has taken their turn, the game will then host immediately (this is the "quickhost" setting). If you game is like this, don't count on being able to play your turn half-way, take a break, and then come back.

Hi Esben,

howthegodskill on port 2254 is over; you can kill it anytime you like to free up a spot.

thanks for hosting!

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That was fast. Who won?

EDIT: Never mind, I found the thread.
EDIT: Actually, I think you can free the slot, RZ, simply by stopping the game.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The game seems to be stopped already. Anyways, this is something I expect the game owner to do :-D I only step in for lost and ownerless games...
