Ok guys. In an effort to make things a little easier on all of you addicts I have setup a "low-tech" Version of PBW.

Basically it's just links to games being run during the downtime. If anyone has a game they want listed let me know.

If you are in one of my other games I am going to get them on the list this weekend.

Edit: Oh, the link? It's the same as before. http://seiv.pbw.cc If all you see is the server down page without the home and games button on teh left, hit refresh.

Question Geo.
On your "PBW Down" site you have a link to the IP address to the PBW Server, but are you sure you will be given the same IP address when they turn your DSL link back on line?

"...Unofficially he said these have been running about a week, and even just a couple days in some cases."

Well, unless it gets installed today, I guess you/we can forget about that remark. They'd probably tell you anything if they thought you might be considering switching to cable.

Geo, you can update all the sites by unpacking this file in the directories, it won't owerwrite any configuration text files.

http://pbw.ath.cx/patch15.zip

It fixes problems and gives you the host upload & download options and updates deadlines automaticly.

If no huge bugs get's discovered which I doubt as I've been using it for a while I won't continue any updaing on this.
Instead I'm working on ver 2 now.

http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=010251

I didn't know anything on PHP when I started this, it started as HTML and then I added CGI/Perl and on Fyrons advice switched it to PHP, that's why the code is the way it is

Ver 2 is rewritten from the ground up, all that is needed to set up new games will be for either the site owner to enter a name and press a button or the new game host to upload (by FTP) a configuration.php file and then press a button.

No, I am not sure. If it is different I will update the page. It will only matter for however long it takes the DNS to repropogate over to the PBW server once we are back up. Until the DSL is hooked back up clicking on that IP isn't going to go anywhere in either case.
