Always Peace Builder game Tech Thread

Hmm...asking again: where is the game?

[Cyneheard]

I sent T14 on yesterday.

I'm pretty much out of ideas why the email tracker isn't working by the way (I set up PBEM14 and PBEM16 trackers with no issue and I copied the process here so I'm totally confused). If anyone wants to pop inside and take a look at how I have it configured, be my guest.

Oh, and I haven't gotten a turn in over 2 days so it's definitely not with me and Cynheard sent it on. I'm guessing it's with Lewwyn - he missed his turn in PBEM14 today as well.

Looked it up and I send my last save to Scooter the 9th. Was 3480 AD if I recall correctly.

[Lewwyn]

I posted this over in 14 tech as well:

Sorry guys, just finished up one of the busiest weeks of the year for me. (Exams. I had to get through all the grading, then the fill out all the red tape and submit grades. Unbelievably inefficient and time consuming Chinese University Bureaucracy.) Anyway everything is free and clear now.

On an upcoming note, I will be returning to America on the 17. (Leave China on the 17th in the afternoon arrive in America on the 17th in the afternoon.) I may have luddite play the turn then. I'm not sure how it will effect the schedule in the long term. I'll be headed back to China in the end of August for the next year. So for a little over a month I'll be in my home hemisphere.

Anywho, back on track.

Scooter, would you like me to work on the tracker? I'll fix it up this afternoon.

[Lewwyn]

You know scooter I think its working. Can we try sending the save without sending it to the actual person? I believe that it is in fact forwarding. Let's give it a shot.

I've also worked up the PHP file and sent it to Mist so lets see if that comes up soon. Once that's up we can actually see if the turn is going. Additionally if it doesn't then we can pull the save from the tracker if that's updating. But I think we have to pull the training wheels off to tell if its working or not for sure.

Also, I just tested a filter in the tracker email that I set up and it forwarded just fine. I think it's safe to go.

Thanks Mist!

So tracker is up and looks to be working. Just make sure to send the save to the tracker email.

[scooter]

Hah, I guess I had it working correctly after all. I think the problem was that we were sending to tracker AND the next person in the same email, so Gmail decided to be clever and combine it into one or something, making it appear as if the forwarding wasn't actually working. Glad to know I had the account set up right, because I was beginning to seriously question my sanity as I looked at the PBEM14 and PBEM22 trackers side-by-side and they were identical.

Edit: Thanks Mist for hosting and Lewwyn for setting up the tracker file!
