Pitboss 18 IT and Tech Issues Thread

I've already coded the timer and Score text file writing. They should only be coming to pitboss host, but I need to test it. Next the event log part, but can do it only a bit later. So I would say no one needs to step out. Example file formats in case someone wants to code some web page above these:

No feature creep!

Example file formats

I think it would be a good idea to include the player id in the score.txt file, as the leader name might change as people log in and out.

I'd like to sit it out, I've been getting busier every week for the last two months now and I probably shouldn't commit to this. I can join the sub volunteer corps with Lewwyn, that ought to get plenty wars fired up

Okay, Plako is awesome, so it looks like we'll use you in the sub volunteer corps, Saladin of Mali needs your services!

I did some preliminary investigation and I think I can make a special version of the Rbmod dll with these features:
* eventlog updated, when player logs in , out and finishes turn + When the turn rolls (probably needs to be limited in size)

Should the event log also capture score changes?

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

Saladin of Mali is available. Should we post this in the general forum in case people are not following this thread closely?

Edit: Done.

Awesome work, Plako. Much appreciated by all!

Is this going to be able to track logins and turn ends? Maybe this was implied in the "event logger" but I just wanted to check. I'm as much concerned about knowing who has ended turn as I am the timer.

My new computer does not want me to play civ.. This error comes immediately after connecting Caledorn. When I connect to PB13 the game allows me to choose civ, tranfers the file, but then crashes with different error.

Anyone familiar with this or otherwise ideas?

I think it's just because the game is down. I had that when I tried to connect to the wrong IP.

Hmm.. it does not still explain this when I'm joining PB13:



Trying to play with various setting now, but where is xenu...
