An error occurred while attempting to launch game:

You must specify a valid port

My fault. I only allow ports between 2300 through 2400. This is to make it easier to understand my firewall logs. This should have been written in the error response.

I'll update the page soon. I wanted the port to be a dropdown selection in any case.

OK, to reply to the rest of the replies in one fell swoop:

The server is not too hard to break.Only the dominions II part should break. I have a change in my head which should make it much harder to break, but that would have to wait.

I don't know what the tempfile problem is (Gandalf writes that it is a windowsthing), but restart of the server is certainly possible if it become an issue. It would actually be the same change as above, funny enough.

Enjoy!

OK, I'm feeling stupid this morning.

I started a game, and the site tells me it's fine, running on port 2350 and all...

But I cannot find an IP address to connect to. Did I miss something, or is there, somewhere, a Dominions 2 server that's accepting connections, only nobody knows where?

You may be feeling stupid, but not as much as I do The IP is now on the page (it's 80.161.86.108). Somehow I figured that people would know it's mosehansen.dk since that is where the webpage is served from. And that is wrong in so many ways...

Sorry for the inconvience... I have already joined your game, BTW. It's me playing Man. And I'm no good at this game, BTW, but I will learn :-D

I joined as well, as Abysia. We can do a few turns if you like (I wasn't really looking for a new MP game, but since we're both in Europe and it's sunday anyway...

Wow, THAT was a fast game. I thought the victory conditions were "standard", and didn't check the VPs... (Is there a way on your server to use non-VP victory conditions?)

For those at home: Esben and I played a 7-turn or so game, which he won waaaay before we made contact because he had 3 VPs out of a total 6 on the map... thing is, he started with 2, and I with only 1...

I just tried starting a new game, and it doesn't seem to work: the game isn't reported as created, and there doesn't seem to be a Dom2 server at the address and port requested.
