Glory (MA game)- game is live

[chrispedersen]

LOL... you guys are making me run when I can barely walk.
Ich, I have a copy of sql around somewhere - also mysql.

I emailed Gandalf about useful scripts last night, but its too early to expect a reply.

I'd be happy to implement either email notification (hmm probably via a mapi client) or a website - but someone has to show me how to do it. Figuring it out on my own won't be timely at the moment.

It would be great if there were:
a) a script for backing up game files
b) email notification

You won't need SQL for the stats script from my link, only PHP. I only used a SQL database for my graphical scores, but that code is lost at the moment, so not of interest anyway.

Depends on your operating system. Linux easily comes with both. Web servers can be installed under Windows with one of the WAMP projects available. Email would be another thing.

I did both for my games. Backing up game files was more or less done like this (which I used on local games before):
Code:

---

function archive {

  if test $# -lt 1; then return; fi

  tar czvf $(basename $1)-$(date +%s).tgz $@

}

---

For email, I used something called nbsmtp because I didn't trust local sendmail installations, which would have been even easier to use.

P.S.: For Windows, try one of these links:

I did my turn. Now it's saying that my Dominions version is too old. (3.15) However, my other game, when it comes back online, (Ich), is in 3.15.

Not really understanding what's going on or what to do. Can I even play a 3.15 game with 3.17? Do I need to make a whole new install? Ugh.

Dom3 patches are parasitic. Some game will update to the new patch. Its players will have to update to the new patch to continue playing, too. Unless they install the game twice on their computers, then the servers of any other games that they play in will have to update to the new patch, too. Branching off from the current patch level is hard to do. That's probably the whole idea to make sure everybody's updated.

just ran my second turn. all is good in the world.

Rlyeh/Agartha, everything ok?

[JimMorrison]

Yeah sorry about that, my Llamaserver games are training me to wait for an email so that I know a turn is ready. 8 \

On the bright side, I made it in 9 minutes before hosting. And I will do turn 4 immediately after, it looks like.

[chrispedersen]

Hey by the way... it says Ryllah has not played. Are they stale? should we sub?

Just a busy weekend, I'll be fine playing now. Just a pity I stalled so early in the game.
