New & raw web based Dominion II game server

[Esben Mose Hansen]

====================== 1=================
FIRST OF ALL: I'm having an electrician(?) over tomorrow to check our cabling (it's an insurance thing, long boring story.) I don't know what he'll do, but he may possibly kill the power. I do now own an UPS. I'll restart all running games as soon as he's out of the door. This will happen around noon, GMT. I'll post when it's over. 

Now, for todays comment & problems:

======================= 2 =================
Re Comment field: Yes, there is the beginnings of support for that. I'll finish it tommorrow.

In the meantime: If you create a testgame, or regret how the game turned out, drop me a message in these fora. Then I'll kill the game. Also, all the game named either TestGamexxx or BetaYYY are testgames, made during development. Join these at your own risk!

================== 3 ======================
BUT: I seem to have a problen. I've just added backend support for AI and hosting times. The hosting times work fine, but the server just ignores any AI. Can anyone get these options to work? If somebody do, you please post the command line used?

================== 4 =====================
I promised no more Last-minutes updates that weren't tested to a minimum. So I'll not be updating the frontend tonight. Tomorrow is a bright new day, though, and at least the hosttime and comment field will appear.

================== 5 =======================
If you want to contact me (quickly, e.g. to kill/restart games), try Jabber: mesbenh@jabber.dk I also own an AIM (MesbenH) and an ICQ (search).

Success!

Using the desktop shortcut with command switches I joined no problem.

Now, why would I be able to join this way, but not the "long way," i.e., starting the game, choosing network, entering i.p. and port manually.

Great! Shall we start the game, then?

As for stating it the long way: Try using the dns name, dom2.mosehansen.dk. Just enter it where you entered you the IP number before. This is a better way in any case. It rules out a mistype...

The server is up again.

I'm very sorry, but the "Zombies" game died No matter what I did, dominions did not want to resume --- it startet all over. My test game resumed fine :/

The server should now be up in the foreseeable future. I'll experiment a bit more with resuming games.

Sorry about this.

Okay, I will start another game soon.

What does the "upload time" option do?

[Esben Mose Hansen]

Upload time: The no of minutes before the game will start automaticaly.

Specifiyng an upload time also prohobits clients from stating the game manully...

I created a Sundering game, where I'm in as Abysia. I'm not really looking for a serious game, but if one or two additional persons want to join for a few turns...
