New & raw web based Dominion II game server

Hmm, so you're saying that in fact all games are still running on 2.12 until the owners decide to restart? I suppose that should have been obvious, but I didn't really think about it.

In that case I take it back. You just announce that you've installed the upgrade, and every game can decide when they want to change Versions (though I guess circumstances might force their hands)

I guess we'll all be a bit clearer on how it works next time it happens.

Esben Mose Hansen,

you rock. It's just that simple.

esben does rock

but you know how he could rock even harder? by implementing a "force to anonymous" option or some other sort of force kick. Too often someone joins but doesn't register in the thread, and so ignores a game's special rules. I've almost needed to have this option before, and the only way at the moment is to nuke the whole game and recreate it...

Just drop me an email or PM when you need to do this. At some point I'll get annoyed enough to implement it

lol heh thanks esben



though really, what would be great now that zen is coming out w/ these very interesting "conceptual balance" mods, is integrating a mod dropdown menu in game creation...

That I will make, as soon as I find the time to do so. That should shut up 95% of the "I hate [clams/VQ/False Horror/...] threads until they are backed up by testing :-D

Besides, the code is essentially the same as for maps, so it shouldn't be that hard to do.

Several people (all?) cannot get past the waiting for game data screen on on the Musical Chairs game...I know this problem happens once in a while and the workaround is to just keep trying and eventually you get past it but that doesn't seem to be working now...I am wondering if the new patch has made this intermittent problem harder to get past...

Any other games/players having this problem?

[archaeolept]

no, the fix is almost always to have the owner of the game stop and restart the game.

Esben, I just wanted to point out that this feature would get some use in a number of cases where the game owner was not forced to PM you in order to get the person off. Although I've never once been forced to PM you to get someone off, if this feature existed I'm sure that I would have used it four or five times in the course of the four games I've started up. IMO, it's something that could speed up game start times by a day or so, and would reduce the frequency of borked pretender uploads.

That's not to say that this feature should be a top priority. I'm sure most of us would rather see your very valuable time used to implement the mod dropdown option. I'm just trying to say that if you're not getting any PMs, that does not indicate that this is a zero-value feature.

BTW, shouldn't we get this thread moved to the new Server-Multiplayer forum?

I'm aware that people don't call on me every time there is a problem, but I have to date received less than 3 request to kick somebody, so the demand seems to be less than spectacular.

And yes, mods are my first priority. My second is the two "new" victory conditions.

As to what forums this thread belongs, I must say that I don't know. I my head this just proves that whenever you try to partition some set, some members are hard to place Anyways, since the Moderators have left it here, I guess this means we're staying here for now.

Take care!
