That happened to me when I first created a profile... but when I went back later, I got all the options and could look at the available games and stuff.

Fixed. I also added more links after creating a new game.

WarsOfGaiai has been migrated succesfully. Considering that the most of the old games seems to have crashed in any case, I will migrate the rest, hopefully today.

Please note that I'll be gone from friday morning (GMT-!) to monday noon. Hopefully, the server will stay operational :-)

Keep the comments coming --- I'll try to implement as much as possible :-D

I'm in the Orania game as Pangaea. Perhaps it should get its own thread?

option for turning off graphs in new game creation?



ps. does this mean that all the old games will become functional again? If so, can your server also deal w/ the new games being created?

thanks for all your work, btw.

Edit: ok, I found the old games on the new pages. However, while BigGame has the nations listed, it is flagged as "stopped" and I can not connect. ToolsFools, on the other hand, is flagged as "in progress" yet has no nations listed, and so I can't connect there either.

has anyone managed to get an old game going?

I havent looked but is the option for external scoreboard added yet? (Hey IW, GREAT job on that!)
That could be modified by a --postexec command to change the name to the name of the game and move it to the web directory.

Oh, I forgot to write: To start the Big Game 2 game, go into e.g. My Games, select the game and click "restart game". Yes, I know, it should've been a HTTP POST rather than a HTTP GET, but it was late. So you will get error messsaages if you reload the page.

Restarting the game doesn't seem to be having any effect. I tried to edit the settings but it said "Big_Game_2 does not exist." You can just delete that game to clear the slot if you want. It's not a big deal.

Oh, and how do we restart the old games that were migrated over?

First of al: All old games have been migrated, and are now running. 14 games, and look at top:

code:

Tasks: 140 total,   1 running, 139 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

97,4% idle.. not bad, eh? Good work, Illwinter!

Answers to your Posts since my Last post:

* option for turning off graphs in new game creation?
-->I can't find a way to do this from the command line. Show me how to do it, and I will do this.

*ps. does this mean that all the old games will become functional again? If so, can your server also deal w/ the new games being created?
---> Yes, except for toolsfools which had it's slot taken. The server seems to handle 14 games now with no sweat at all, kudos to Illwinter for this! (Also, my scripts are better now) I've just increased the limit to 20.

* has anyone managed to get an old game going?
---> WarsofGaia is fully going again; as should all the old games now, though I can only test this for games where I participate.

* I havent looked but is the option for external scoreboard added yet?
---> Yes, it was added, and I've enabled it, though the file just sits there for now. I may add the file to an IFRAME today as a "quick&dirty" pre-easter solution.

* Restarting the game doesn't seem to be having any effect. I tried to edit the settings but it said "Big_Game_2 does not exist." You can just delete that game to clear the slot if you want. It's not a big deal.
--> I messed around with that game quite a bit, trying to bring all the pieces together to handle spaces correctly. I think that's why it doesn't work. Anyway, I've deleted it.

* Oh, and how do we restart the old games that were migrated over?
--> Only games that you "own" can be restartet and stopped, for obvious reasons. But I have restartet them all now.
