I just tried to do this. The first task is to upload the zencradle map, but I received error 500 (Internal Server Error) trying to do that.

Someone else want to try?

EDIT: It just occurred to me that the server may not want to overwrite the existing cradle.tga file. We may not be able to do this without Mose's help.

EDIT: Next thought - maybe if I rename cradle.tga, and also change the reference to it from within the zencradle.map file ...

Heh, hit reply to suggest just that (changing names and map file reference to it) but you already added 2nd EDIT.

If the problem iswith duplicate names, that would fix it without need for Mose's involvement. Could you please try again uploding it with new name and updated .map file and tell me what will happen?

Nope, same error and always after the upload. This is costing me a fortune, so I'm giving up.

The zencradle map is uploaded and there's a free slot. And I'm a complete moron for doing this, since I had a great start in the existing game

I'll leave to Stormbinder to actually create the game, if that's what he wants.

All right, I have uploaded Zen's Cradle on Mose's site.

ROFL!

You too Zap?

I thought you gave up trying to do it. So I modified .map myself, downloaded stupid WinZip from the net, renamed both files, packed it and and uploaded it.

Now Mose's server is the proud owner of two Zen's Cradle maps.

Mine is called "cradlez14". I mean - you can't get too much of good stuff, right?

So, are we officially restarting?
Can I delete the old game?

All right guys.

I think it is quite clear by now that the Yossar's server is not working for us, unfortunately.

With game crashing one or more times each turn, and Yossar leaving on vocation next week, I think we should persue other opportunities.

Thanks to encouragement from Zapmesiter and our combined efforts to upload the map

, there is now new game on Mose's server, in the slot that become available just few minutes ago. The name of the game is (surprise!

) Throne_Of_Heavens.

If it is ok with everybody let's upload our pretenders there and use it as our host for this game. All game settings are identical of course to Yossar's game, the only difference is that it is not possible to turn OFF scores on Mose's. Some pleayers don't care about scores, some (like myself) dislike them. But hopefully it is not that critical difference for each of you.

I appologize for all these unconvibience. But as you know, it is not something I have any control over. At least nobody invested too much time into this game yet, since we only managed to get to turn 4 by now. On new server things should go smoothly and painlessly.

So what do you think guys? Is everybody Ok with Mose's server?

Stormbinder
