Llamaserver troubles
 

Llamabeast,

Since I am not sure if you have not had a chance to read my PMs, or if your box might be full, I am reposting here. Our game, DawnoftheMorning is unplayable right now.

Originally the turn spontaneously went back to turn 47 after turn 48 had already hosted. There was no notification, and a replacement turn file was not sent out.

We decided to try to move on ahead. Everyone resubmitted their turn 47 .2h files. It processed. Everyone received a turn 49 where everyone staled, and llamaserver.net only shows turn 48. Llamaserver rejects new turns as well. It seems that the server that proceses the incoming turn files and the dom3 host are no longer in sync. What can we do?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

I'm sorry not to have answered your PMs wonderloss, I have been away a lot and my personal life is in upheaval at the moment. Thanks for your patience.

This should be easy to fix - I will try to do it this evening.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

There seems to be a lot of personal upheaval going around. I know I have seen my fair share lately.

Thanks for all your work with the server.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Hopefully it's fixed now. :)

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

The Chosen Ones isn't updating. We had it on a 1 week delay and are nearing the end of that week. It hasnt updated in 14 hours even though at least one of the remaining players has sent a turn in. Not sure if this is an issue for other games as well.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

No llamaserver games are updating. I am sure llamabeast is aware and will fix it whenever he has the opportunity.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Well, he came here several times since the server is down.
So i guess the problem is worse than the usual ISP issue, or he didn't watch his PM and so he s not aware of the problem.

I hope he will keep us posted.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Oh dear.

At the risk of breaking rules of internet forwardness, I am currently at home with my mother since my stepfather passed away after a short illness on Friday. Apparently the server back at my house in Cambridge has turned itself off and won't turn on. I guess hopefully I will get a chance to look at it in the next few days.

An odd side effect of all this is that I am about to release CB1.9 - I have been polishing it over the last few days to take my mind off things. Not a lot else to do.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Sorry for your loss Llama.
And thx for the infos.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Oh no... I'm sorry to hear that llama. :( Sorry to press you, don't worry about it!

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Please accept my condolences, and best wishes to both you and your mother.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Our condolences, Llama. Don't worry about the server, we can wait. We can all take this opportunity to go out and get some sun, or rain as the case may be :)

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Sorry to hear about your loss. Condolences Llama.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Sorry to hear of your problems. Ive been thru that.
Do what needs done and be welcomed back when you get back

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Hey llama, thank you for keeping us in the loop, but don't worry about the server, condolences.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Condolences llama.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

I'm sorry for your loss llama. I have passed a similar sad experience like six years ago. It was a terrible loss so really my condolences to you and your family.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Thanks for restoring the server!

BTW, for some reasons it thinks it got all but one of the .2h files for the *newly sent* turn in DHG game.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

llamaserver is not updating...

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

yes it is :)

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

For an hour it wasnt :o

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Llamaserver seems to be having issues again. I've read in a few places of people having issues but the one piece of concrete proof of misbehavior I have is that MorlaLAnoob (http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....me=MorlaLAnoob) is set to autohost, has received turn files from all the players but hasn't hosted the game yet.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Yes, i´m having a few issues with my 3 games.Original names ah :rolleyes:

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Force host doesn't work - I've waited now 30 min.

Thanks allready!

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Yeah it's behaving very oddly. I'll fix it either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Well I couldn't figure out the problem so I restarted the machine. So far as I can tell it's working now! Fingers crossed because I'm about to go to bed...

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

I'm guessing Llamaserver is having troubles again. None of the four games I'm in have updated since around noon today. I sent in my turn for one of them, twice, and have had no response and still show as "Waiting for 2h file".

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Same here, I'm on my third attempt and it's ignoring me so far, not even acknowledging the email reply.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

same....

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

There is a refresh time at the bottom of every lama's page. Currently the refresh has stopped yesterday at 10pm

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Llamaserver is sending out turns from 5 turns ago.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

The Wetfeet10 game is still stuck at trying to start. We have 11 players all with pretenders uploaded, and the auto-start set to on (have also tried to force start the game a number of times), but still getting no luck. Has been in this state for 2 or 3 days now.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Wetfeet10 is up and running - thankyou! :)

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

It seems that Llamaserver is changing hosting schedule on it's own. Game called Dreams of Ghatanothoa was supposed to be hosted 17:19 GMT today. I looked at the game page and the hosting was changed to 05:11 GMT on Tuesday.

I decided to force host just to keep the pace but nothing seems to happen. Any ideas?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

I ve got a weird bug, in one of my game, where i m playing LA Ermor, all my troops are gone, i have nothing left not even a ghoul or a zombie. But in the end of turn reports i have some actions of my troops (fight, spy ...)

I downloaded the turn 2 times + a 3rd time after asking for a resend, but nothing has changed.

Did any1 have met this problem before ?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Not a server problem. Either:

1) A previously unreported dom3 bug, or

2) You have suffered a dominion defeat (no friendly candles left).

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Wow thx for this quick answer

1) Maybe
2) No i have lot of territories with a quite strong dom. Btw i can still play, i m not dead.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Disregard my previous post, it was a mistake in the setting of victory condition.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

What is the downtime of server that is a trouble? More than 5 min, More than hour, More than several hours.

Right now I have message last update 40 min ago in Dreadful_Fates_II. Is it to early to report problem?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

I think Llamaserver is having troubles again. MorlaMAnoob (http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....me=MorlaMAnoob) has received a turn from every player but hasn't posted yet. And none of my other games have posted, or look to have updated since this morning, which has only ever happened when Llamaserver was having trouble. Also the PointySticks game seems deeply confused (http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo....e=PointySticks) about when it should host saying "Next turn due: nation_84::Ulm ".

Anyone else having problems?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Also YARG3 has not auto hosted for some time now.
-ssj

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

MaliciousMushroomsv2 is having the same issues as MorlaMAnoob - all turns are in, but it isn't hosting and I can't force it to host either (requested, but thus far ignored).

Sounds like the poor llamaserver is in a bit of a tangle at the moment.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

YARG3 has strange status. On the one hand all the turns are in (# 24), yet OtoH game has not hosted and says: "Next turn due: 12:19 GMT on Saturday October 22nd ".

Also there update clock is out of sync.:
"Last updated at 08:16 GMT on Saturday October 22nd
Current time: 08:58 GMT"

Looks like vacation time :p

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Game: Immaculate002LateAgeNoobs

Next turn due: 03:05 GMT on Sunday October 23rd

Good luck all y'all

Marignon 2h file received

Current time: 11:42 GMT






Next turn due: 03:05 GMT on Sunday October 23rd

Hosting interval: 56 hours
Quickhost mode: On



So i guess the problem is the same as MorlaMaNoobs- it didn't host. :(

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

High Five too.

(and btw thanks llama for making it possible for have these kind of problems! (i mean instead of having to play hotseat (im serious))

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Same for Cyberclassique. I suppose all games may be suffering the same issue?

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Looks like they are. Wetfeet10 has all turns submitted but isn't auto-hosting or force-hosting. We'll all just have to be patient, i'm sure it'll be solved shortly.

[edit - just as I posted this our game's turn ticked, so looks like things are working again!]

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

YARG3 has hosted :)
I guess the problem is gone...

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

Things are back to normal. Thanks llamabeast once more. Some of the virgins I'll be sacrificing in my game will be for you.

Re: Llamaserver troubles
 

No probs, sorry about that.
