Updated again.
readme isn't fixed.
Complete 1.4

patch 1.4

What is it:
If you add Yes in configuration.txt it will mail the host when all has uploaded if
in MAIL.PHP $mailnotify="yes";

You must in mail.php add the servers SMTP and perhaps the Server owners account.

Good Geo??

Will fix readme tomorrow, nighty!

If it malfunctions you still have ver 1.31 to download.

Ok, the email doesn't seem to work. Doesn't give me an errors or anything, but I never get an email.

Doesn't the smtp email need a password? Maybe that's what's wrong?

Hi.
It depends. Some servers require a password.
Most don't, they only accept mails coming from within their own net.
if we add passwords to the mail.php we need to move it out from the game directory. As I guess Fyron don't want to share his SMTP password with everyone...

Have you set Yes in both mail.php and configuration.txt?
In configuration.txt it should be added as a Last line.

AND it only mails when the Last file is uploaded, it doesn't check if all files already are there!

No I did not set a yes in the configuration file, only the mail file. I saw that you added an attribute to the config file but I did not see what it was for so I made it a NO just like your example file. I will try that.

Yes, it was redundant, but added in case passwords is needed, then mail.php can be moved to another directory.
And both the owner of the server and the game both have an option of turning it off, sorry for that complex way, I'm not proud of it.
This ver 1 is a botch job....

Another update;
patch 1.421

Complete 1.421

What is new?
-Added new readme.
-Autodirects to main page after upload, pauses 5 seconds first.
-Refreshes main page when it's loaded.
-When all has uploaded, if mail notify host is set to Yes in both configuration.txt and mail.php a message will appear saying that the host is being notified.

Adding the Yes to the config file did it. I got the email. The only odd thing is that the email appeared to come from geoschmo @ s2.ebart.net. Is there a way I can change that? If I can't it's not a big deal. just looks odd.

The only other things I'd really like to see then are two things I think you already have planned. One would be a button to download all the .plr files at once for the host. The other would be a button to upload the new gamefile.zip. This button should remove the current .plr files which will reset the list for the players, replace the gamefile, and email all the players a message that there is a new turn. I think you were planning on doing this from an admin page or something? These two buttons would eliminate the need for my ftp program after I have the game all setup.
