well, hopefully it keeps track of games you created and then later gave up ownership of, and counts them towards your limit.

Well, I have access to the "Create Game page" but the "port" choose is negated.

I'm seeing the same thing that Cohen is, and I might fit your description, and although I have no current interest in starting a game, this might be a bug. I've started 3 games altogether, but the second game I stopped and disowned, and is not now being run at all.

Is anyone seeing a port number on the game start page, right now? Or is there something particular about having a disowned game hanging about that is causing Cohen and I to see a start page without the port number in the pulldown?

Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server
 
I would like to state clearly and loudly that there is NO difference in who is allowed to create games. Once Cohen was just a tad quick to take new slots, this is no longer so and is in my view forgotten and forgiven! (Thanks, Cohen!). No code was written at that point, only a polite (I hope) request not to continue to do so. You could conceivable create 23 games....

In other words, if you can't create games, it' s a bug. I'll look into it. Maybe we have run out of port numbers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

edit: A code bug prevented port numbers in the 2300-2399 range to be used. That has been fixed now, and you should all be able to start games again. (And there was much rejoicing)

I've created a game, but it get stopped as soon as it has been created and every time I restart it.

It's the questionmark. I have now changed to code to only allow letters, numbers and underscores in the name, substituting underscores for everything else.

My advice would be to stop the current game, and create a new one. Much easier than saving the current one...

stuck game - Esben?
 
Hi Esben,

It looks like our game Newbie_Intermediate is now stuck. It says 1 minute to host but it is not hosting and I can't connect to it on port 2287. Could this be a result of your code change to only allow letters and numbers in game names?

Help?

Thanks,
John

P.S. If you want to try connecting just email me at johnpruner at yahoo.com to get my password.

Re: stuck game - Esben?
 
Esben can you please help me ?

In my first game on your server Lex plays Caelum . Huzardaddi uploaded Caelum before Lex uploaded his pretender . I was sleeping at this time and meanwhile Huzardaddi went anonymous and Lex uploaded his pretender . I offered on the next day to Lex to delete him that he can upload again . He said it should work fine and so we just started now .

But now Lex has Huzardaddi's pretender . Is there any way expect stopping the game and creating a new one for Lex to get his pretender ?
He and Thufir suggested that if he goes anonymous , i kick him and he reuploads and we restart this might work .
Does this or something else work ? Perhaps Lex can mail you his pretenderfile for this special game and you can replace manually Huzurdaddi's pretender with Lex pretender ?

As it is creating the game again is a bit sad because all other 16 players would need to reupload their pretenders again . If we don't restart i feel guilty though for trusting Lex and not persuading him to get kicked in order to be sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif


Thnx in advance http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

P.S. : The game is Newbiegame 3 v2 port 2303 .
The problem is with the Caelum pretender .

Re: stuck game - Esben?
 
I can't seem to find anything wrong now. I just restarted the game and it was fine. My changes were purely in the webpages, so a running game shouldn't be affected in any case.

Re: stuck game - Esben?
 
boron: that was lex's fault for not checking that the slot was free before trying to upload his pretender. Since the game has already started w/ Huzurdaddi's pretender, the only solution would be to stop the game and start a new one.

since that's a real pain, and since really it is due to lex himself, I would suggest that lex learn to love his new god

:p
