Re: Hosting
Here's a zip of the Whyte files in my htdocs dir.
The dom3_Whyte.inc.php file $serveraddress should be updated to the appropriate hostname.
Please tell me if it doesn't work.

Re: Hosting
I've disabled the hosting on bemura. Pythium, please try connecting to thejeff's system once he posts the IP address.
Eriu has not gone AI just yet ... we're trying to hold off the hordes of undead apes as long as we can. But going AI won't exactly make a huge difference, the AI is actually not too shabby at throwing out a few seeking arrows and sneaking some meager forces behind enemy lines. Depending on how the hosting transition goes, Eriu may manage to get one more turn in before being overrun or going AI.

Re: Hosting
OK, I'll try to test it all out tonight.
Aren't many of those options just game start options?
And you did answer one of my questions. The status scripts will work on Linux.
Are you leaving the dominions world permanently, or planning to come back?

Re: Hosting
I just run from a script that has all the options set, so I don't have to remember anything. I don't bother deleting the start options.
I'll be away for a few months, but hopefully I'll be able to return to dom3 in the winter.
Thanks again for taking over hosting!
And please let me know if you'd prefer .tgz files instead of .zip, if there's any timestamp/ownership problems then .tgz files might be better.

Re: Hosting
Hey vfb,
Just curious.... why did you violate our Pact and attack me? While my friends sometimes do call me "the greatest monkey commander of all time", it was pretty clear that I had the advantage in this game.
I was just womndering because I feel a little guilty for axing you in both of the games you've hosted that I've played in.
Good games, though. Drop me a line when you can play Dom again.

Re: Hosting
Ok, I believe it's up and running.
Address is:
silverfool.com
same port: 8098
I can connect locally, but I don't have a remote machine to test it from, so I can't be sure I've poked the right holes in the firewall.
I'd appreciate it if some one could test it for me. Or hoo could just play his turn, then we'd all know.
I'll try to get the status page up, but that may have to wait until the weekend. I need to get Apache set up.
Until then, please post here when a turn runs.

It looks like it is working fine, I connected to the new server okay.
It does seem to have the issue that plagued Gandalf's Unlucky game though -- I connected and got a long "waiting for host" delay.
The workaround is to run windowed, open one client, and if it hangs on "waiting" then open another instance of dom3. The second process will be able to connect to the server without problems. You might want to ask Gandalf what the permanent solution is to the problem is, since I think he sorted it out in the end.

Re: Hosting
I also fixed the Unlucky game for awhile by opening a connection from my desktop and leaving it connected to the game. Apparently the "fixes" are to always be the second connection.

Jeez, don't feel guilty, I sneak attacked you!!  I wouldn't expect anything else but a fight to the death.
I had a scout in the battle you had with Pythium, and saw your forces totally decimate an army that would have totally decimated my army. I think at the time you also had 3 out of 3 gem-producing globals up.
My only hope was to backstab you while your forces were out West, still drunk from their celebrations. Which in itself wouldn't have been have been enough, but I hoped that by not waiting 3 turns Pythium might also still have some forces around to do something with.
I've had fun in all the games we've played in together, even when losing. Plus I learn more when I lose. And I hope I made the game a little more challenging for you!
Also, I think a little treachery can go a long way to making the storyline of a game more interesting. You know: betrayal, revenge, all that good stuff. When I'm back though, and hosting more games, I'll be sure to note in the game post that I don't always consider NAPs or even alliances totally inviolable.
