Ok, that's done.

Geo, would it be possable to do a script that only included the combat log in the zip file if the combat log has changed since the prev turn? this may save a bit of upload bandwidth on your side, and some download bandwidth on ours.
if you did do this you might also want to give players the option to download the combat file seperatly incase they play on multiple PCs

if pbw was in python I'd try do a script myself,
infact I might just do that for the next version of PBFTP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

also Geo, PBW refuses to let us upload se5 combat files too.

Edit: or the log files.

Actually it seems to die on anything but straight .gam files. I think the format may have changed from SE4 and its confusing the poor server. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yes, that's something I was aware of and haven't got around to actually fixing. It's more complicated then it would seem at first glance. The code isn't as particular of the filenames that it sends out, so on turns processed on the server it works fine. But it is selective on which file extensions you can upload. The only thing the server needs to process turns is the .gam file and .plr files, so that's ok. The combat turn file isn't needed on the server. Of course it means you have to take the extra step of emailing the combat file to the players. This is more of a problem if you are running multiple turns offline I guess. I hope to get it fixed eventually.

PBW is now a lot more friendly for Dial-up users after the last patch. My KOTH savegames have gone from 15-20MB to 2-3MB.
Of course we will see after the next massive invasion :-)

pbw webserver seems to be down.

**** Edit **** he switched to Text based and was able to join game.

error when Aegis trys to takeover the open empire in game: SEV Galactic Domination. We are getting AI issues on turns as well. AI doing things when turns are submitted, etc.
