<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There's been no change of state for All_The_Nations and no word from Esben, but I noticed that despite the fact that I don't own the game (the owner field is blank) I do, in fact, have the power to stop it.

So I did.

Excellent. Nothing like a little bit of self-help.

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

Sorry about the no response; I just didn't get around to it.

I regard all disowned games as fair game; that is why anybody can stop them. I can't remember if the pages provides support for picking up ownership of a game, but if they don't, a mail or message to me will do the trick. Just in case anybody is participating in an unowned game and is getting nervous http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

A revelation !!!

I was wondering how a dinosaur like All_The_Nations got to be restarted, so I went to the "show all games page" to see how hard it would be to restart something.

I clicked a defunct game, and it's status page came up, with the message that the game couldn't be restarted as all slots were full !!

In other words, the mere act of getting a game's status from the "show all games" listing tries to restart the game.

This is clearly what's been happening. Someone browsing the all games page has innocently clicked a game, which has promptly restarted.

Any chance of getting this behaviour changed Esben ?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The games are not restarted just by browsing them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif When I print the forms, I check whether a form element makes sense. If it doesn't, I sometimes print a substitute message --- in this case the message that the game cannot currently be restarted.

The game was restartet on purpose ... I even got a mail about it, I think.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It might worth taking another peek at the logfile for Semiblitz. Although it's a bit hard to tell (no timeout and the server saying it's at turn 1) there appears to be no activity in this game.

It appears that it is no longer possible to upload maps. I'm getting Error 500: Internal Server Error straight after the upload.

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 

Map uploads may be fixed. The permissions on the map upload dir was really strange; I don't know how that happened.

I've killed the Dom_in_Cam!_Again! game. I'm sure I will hear if they were playing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The Last one will have to wait --- I have to go now! Thanks for the effort :-D
