The server is patched to 3.08 now. Anybody who downloaded the temporary new turn with the 3.06 client please delete their turn and download it again with a 3.08 client. If you are playing on other servers which are still using 3.06 then you might want to make a backup of these files before applying the patch so that you can revert:

army12.trs
battlemaps/cave3.d3m
battlemaps/cave2.d3m
battlemaps/cave1.d3m
dom3_amd64
dom3_x86
dom3.exe
flag.trs
misc.trs
res.trs

Linux commandline steps to do that:

Code:

unzip -t dompatch308_linux.zip | grep "testing:" | sed "s/.*testing: //" | sed "s/[ ]*OK//" | grep -e "[^/]$" | xargs tar czvf domprev308.tgz

If anybody has problems besides not being able to connect before applying the patch, please post about them here. I have backups...

No problems here.

Hmm, the new turn is up. Strangely, I neither got an email nor did the webpage show a change. I investigated and noticed that some changes that I did to the stats script broke the -makecheck feature and thus didn't update the stats correctly - this is fixed. But I still didn't receive the turn notification via email, even after manually starting it for a second time. Has anybody else got an email from the server?

Not me... odd! And very bad!

Okay, sendmail was b0rked, somehow. I switched over to nbsmtp and sent out the mail again, now using an external SMTP relay. Shouldn't happen again.

P.S.: After applying pressure with a blunt object for several times on the back of the head of an admin (i.e. repeatedly hitting with a club), the sendmail/postfix thing was fixed and the mail has been sent out. I'll still stay with nbsmtp now.

Oh darnit all!

Something very bad happened with this turn! My move order got totally ruined, and my troops didn't move out of a space before someone moved in! This is awful, awful, awful! Since when does this happen? I thought moves in friendly territory happened before moves INTO friendly territory? This wasn't supposed to happen at all. This is a disaster! Is there any way to undo a turn?

And, what's this with the "C'tis is cheating" message?
