the game appears to have disappeared off of llamaserver...

Yes, it does appear to be gone. My apologies if my last post gave the impression that I wanted the game to be done. I just want it to be fixed. But, alas, it may be too late for that.

Hey, I could be the one crashing the game. Who knows? But I am in 3 other games with similar setting and I haven't crashed any of them. It's just a shame that the game keeps crashing. I was having a very good time.

me too... I really like this game. all the fun of late game without all the micromanagement. who knew? the solution to late game tedium was just to use a map where you can't really afford to even hire armies or commanders

Has anyone contacted Llamabeast?

I was really loving this too.

Omnirizon · #**115** April 13th, 2009, 05:49 PM

I have contacted him. no word yet. if it turns out that the game is lost (or its just more trouble than it's worth to save it) then I guess we can reveal our nations and deliver some AAR. We could decide winner through score graphs or a vote, or just not declare a winner at all.

Ohhhh, sorry. Yeah, I think it can be fixed, possibly without problems. I hosted Turn 50 manually, and it hosted fine. Is that the one that crashed? If so then I can just use this manually generated turn 51 and we'll be back on track.

Unfortunately I won't really have any internet access for the next 48 hours, so I guess I'll fix it after that. And right now I desperately need to be in bed. Sorry!

thanks llama!

this is all fine with me, I've got a ton of end semester work to do that I'm running out of ways to put off; however Dom3 would only give me one more way to do just that, which I don't need. Thus, a little delay is fine by me right now.

Lingchih · #**118** April 13th, 2009, 11:23 PM

Thanks Llama.

Do we have any idea why the game is doing this though? It will be quite frustrating if it keeps happening.

llamabeast · #**119** April 14th, 2009, 04:38 AM

So: 1) Did you get an error message? If so what was it?

2) Has this happened before?

Omnirizon · #**120** April 14th, 2009, 11:19 AM

1. we did get an error message, I copy & paste it for you below
2. this is the second time this has happened. the first time it happened we received a new turn file in which we had all staled, just like the error message said. This time we did not receive a new turn file, and the game disappeared.

Hi. On trying to host WildPansies just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again.

I hope you manage to get the game back on course, whichever option you go for.
