The send mail function has been disable a loong time, have you tried using the SE4 Companion?

Alneyan · #**362** September 3rd, 2004, 07:46 AM

The Companion does not seem to be able to connect to PBW either (the programme hangs up while attempting to connect to PBW).

Other possible problems: I am using Windows XP (*Sigh*), but its firewall has been disabled, destroyed, slaughtered, desactivated, and finally beaten to death before being totemised. No other firewall is present on the host computer. All services for my shared connection are also enabled, as XP is known to be a jester and randomly disables these useless things (such as HTTP or mail; who needs these?) when it strikes its fancy.

Edit: Now it works! I do not know why, but it works! *Rushes to upload some turns*

Taking the server down for a few hours. Should be back up tonight. Auto turns will be off when it comes back up so if you have a turn due in the mean time it won't run without you.

Ooooooooh, how evil - went down just as I was hitting the "submit" button

Thanks for the update, and the continued maintenance.

Grr - 5 mins before deadline, and I was waiting for the turn do to it before I have to leave tomorrow

And as there are a few non-submitters, and no autoturns, I guess I can kiss goodbye the next turn

Well, how long will you be gone? No chance of you getting back before the next turn runs? Which game? Perhaps we can work something out with the game owner?

Since I am not sure if Roanon will be able to respond to this thread before leaving, I will answer your more general Queries.

The game in question is NGC4, currently hosted by Tesco (the previous host was Ruatha, but will be away in the weeks to come). I do not know how long he will be gone however, and so cannot say how long ALPU would be needed (if it is needed).

Roanon · #**369** September 10th, 2004, 06:36 PM

I'll be unavailable tomorrow noon, i.e. about 12 hours from now, on vaccation for 2 weeks, will be able to organize internet access there but not before tuesday if all goes well, wednesday if it doesn't work as expected. Would be great if I could sumit at least an emergency turn before leaving, otherwise I'll have to ask tesco for ALPU (and hope he will grant it), or miss the turn that will be due tuesday.

Ok, server is up. I'm gonna watch things for a few minutes and makes sure everything is working right.

Roanon, I understand what's going on, the problem is with auto turns off there won't be a turn for you to play anytime soon, but if you are already gone when auto turns are back on you'll miss the next turn.

I will touch base with Tesco before I turn auto turns back on. What's the latest you could be available to do a turn tonight or tommorow? Either he'd need to run a turn manually for that, I'd need to turn auto turns back on before you go, or possibly he could put your game on ALPU.

Or I could do a turn or two for you if you need a temporary replacment player.
