Pitboss 18 IT and Tech Issues Thread

Nice! We are officially underway.

Also, T1 is going to end BEFORE t0 would have timed out because of the long timer. Just wanted to point that out.

There's too many names on the score list inside the game. Anyone know how to get the names to disappear so that I can actually click buttons?

[Bacchus]

There is a scoreboard toggle alongside all the other map toggles over the minimap.

Also, it is probably worth noting that fun as it is to watch others play, with this number of players everyone really should log out promptly upon playing their part and taking the pictures. And I speak as a major cause of bounces over the beginning of PB13.

^^^ This.

I cannot connect from my local LAN to the server while someone else is logged in because I am using NAT in the router to open the port I'm using for the game. In other words, I am totally dependent upon people not hogging the game for a long time. Please take care to log in and play your turn, take any screens you need etc, and then log out again in a timely manner.

That goes for myself too obviously, since me being connected to the game means everyone will bounce off me. That may become a problem later on when I end up in an inevitable war with a neighbour, but we'll deal with that when that happens - I am sure we have some lurkers that can help out should it become a problem.

Sorry about that. Got distracted by my wife and forgot to log out. I'm out now.

The portal has been updated, with more info and a bit better presentation:

We also have a working email notification tool. It sends out emails within five minutes of a turn rolling. (To the players whose email addresses are registered in its configuration file. Currently just Caledorn and me.)

Nice work! My mobile phone can't handle the table though and BGN's login name is pushed to 2nd row with my laptop as well. Personally I like it when the civs are organized based on their score, but that's not important at all and maybe others thing that locked position in the table is nicer. Anyways, that is totally awesome.

Feel free to add fintourist.rb @ the usual google-powered place for email notifications

EDIT: disguised enough? :P

[Old Harry]

That looks great now novice! I like having the choice of civ order here or score order on civstats.

You may want to disguise that email ft...

I agree with this. In a 13 player game it's not so bad, but we have near on triple that amount in this game - it's just not fair to other players to stay logged into the game for hours.

This could be a problem later in the game when playing the turn legitimately does take an hour or more, but we can cross that bridge and maybe lengthen the turn timer when we get to that point.

But for now I think it's important just to take your screenshots and do your thinking based off of those.
