Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 
will do. I'm moving over to gaim for my IM needs, and it includes jabber support, so that'll be easy enough.

oh, esben, also resetting the quickhost period seems buggy - I changed my game hard_slog from 25 hr quickhost to 49 hr quickhost, and all of the submitted player turns were reset, such that they had to be re-uploaded. As well, the public settings now say "magic 40 indies 3 HOF 10" which are the defaults, but not the values set up in the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

thanks

I think this is a question interesting to all of us: Can you give a date when you will patch the server, Esben?

Or is this flagged as "working on the server"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

How would that work for games that are in midstream - would we be forcibly moved to 2.13? Or would there be an game option available?

  • The patch seems to be borked, so I cannot give you a date yet.
  • As usual, everyone is forcibly upgraded; but only when the games are restarted. Sorry for any inconvenience, but good stategist incorperates changes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

It's been confirmed (in the thread Patch 2.13 available now) that certain artefacts that make extra commands available to their bearers are broken by the patch, and will cause the game to crash if used.

I think that's serious enough to hold off patching the server until it's addressed. Anyone agree?

I agree with Zap.

Does the server use cheat detection?

I've never used either of those items and can live without them, so I don't care.

I am a bit worried about what will happen to my huge stash of burning pearls in one game, though.

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 
We need to determine whether we want the Version 2.13. enabled. Is cheat detection is always enabled, this is no work around. So we have to choose between
  • The old Version --- no mods, no Scratti and so on
  • The new Version, but using certain artifacts will get you unpopular.
What do you say, people? Mark and Zap seems to prefer staying put.

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 
I vote to stay put for the time being. There may be additional quirks to the anti-cheating that have yet to be discovered.

Seems safer to stay where we are until it tested further.

Stay put.
