LlamaServer: status and bug reports

[Tifone]

Mmh. I'm sorry to bring another issue to your attention, about the llamaserver. The postpone hosting function is not working, at least for me. Several hours have passed but the page isn't updating.

Right, okay, another fix. It had got stuck, and in fact wasn't doing anything. I think now it will have done all the admin requests people made, possibly repeatedly if they made them more than once!

I'm now not aware of any remaining bugs, so let me know if you see any more fishy things happen.

great work llama

i think the status pages aren't quite right - so, similar to VFB's issue, I notice that in the game DeadlyMedley2 the status page says that it has received Helheim's turn, when I most assuredly have not sent it in yet. So, this would seem to be another false positive 2h file received report. The games don't host, as they haven't actually received the turns, but the status pages get confused for some reason.

I'd think it a good idea to resend any 2h file that you haven't gotten a confirmation for yet. Also, may be a good idea just to be safe, to resubmit turns for any game you are in that hasn't hosted yet.

Just a thought. :P

[archaeolept]

well, I think the real lesson atm is not to force host just because you think all the turns have been submitted... wait for the normal hosting time

Llama...

Apparently my turn in Byleswar crashed the game, I have no idea why, what is the usual way for me to remedy my turn in situations like this?

Thanks

PS. If you can set me to admin the Buggy1 game I would appreciate it, the original host left the game, check the Buggy thread for confirmation from the other players that this is ok.

Some games crashed, in fact because the hard disk was nearly full (though obviously it didn't tell me that, so it took me a while to figure it out). I've cleared some space now, so they're fine again.

Hi all,

Okay, it's been ridiculously messy (there was quite a startling confluence of bad luck and several separate issues reared their heads for the first time over the last week), but I believe the LlamaServer is now happily up and running on its new home. I'm not aware of any remaining issues, but please do inform me if you come across any. Also please let me know if there's anything you've asked me to do by PM or anything and I haven't done it - I've now cleared my PM list, so if I haven't done it, I must somehow have forgotten it.

Thanks very much for your patience everyone - the downtime's been more than a week, which I know is a long time when you're waiting for your turn!

This thread appears to have been closed by a moderator; I'd prefer if it were left open as a single location for bug reports over the next day or two, so I've opened it again.

[lch]

In that case, I'll merge it with the llamabeast bug report thread... :P
