Esben: Even though I haven't yet participated in a game on your server, I'd like to thank you for the service you provide to the Dom2 community. Wonderful work!

Does this work even if score graphs are disabled in-game? It seems like it's even better of an informational readout than even the basic scoregraph in-game, if it's available to everyone...

I was thinking the same thing. I use it on my solo games now and keep a browser open to it on my hard drive.

Pros and Cons. I like the numbers but the line-chart gave me a progression which was good to see also. Particularly to notice two nations whose armies seem to go down at the same times (at war with each other maybe).

Maybe both could be offered. Some webby person could save the score.html files to numbered Versions, and show the Last few days on one view. Maybe a next/Last button, or in one table, or multiple days in frames?

There are plenty of free graphing softwares. I could capture the data from that file each turn, and recreate the scoreBoards... but sheesh that seems like more trouble than just doing a screen capture and uploading the jpgs. Maybe someone more at home in that area.... I think I will go add that to the 3rd party apps thread.

Now that there's a switch to enable renaming, has the server been updated to automatically enable renaming for any new games created? Games without renaming are awful now because it's really hard to keep your bazillion identically named mages straight.

I agree. In fact I dont know why it wasnt added to the game as being ON as a default. Or even not a selection, just on. (I cant believe I said that. Its so not-me)

Yeah I tried to create another toolsfools game and it doesn't seem to be working.

I'd like to see the IP address displayed at the top and the port number listed for each of the game.

The "IP" is still dom2.mosehansen.dk (Just enter that name where instead of an IP--- it is much better way in any case). If you really want to know it is 80.161.86.108. And I do agree I need a bit more text on top of each of the views, I just didn't get around to it. All in good time...

The port can be found by browsing the game. Yes, it should probably be listed in some overview. That will be after easter, though,

I will add rename to the list of options, and make ON the default. It's not hard (just a row on a mysql database) but I really need to get some sleep now. Can't sleep for only 4 hours two nights in a row :-)

Yeah, I agree the game stats are a bit of a spoiler. I don't think the scores.html and the internal scores are related, but I havn't tested it. You are more than welcome to provide that testing :-D

Happy Easter, for those who get to celebrate it. :-D
