PB 59 organizing and tech thread

[Amicalola]

To be fair, as Noble (+ maybe others) has been saying, another fool-proof way to solve this problem would just be to have players check the tech thread at least once every few days, as most of us already do. It doesn’t seem like much to ask; It’s literally the work of reading ~1-5 posts.

IMO, if u are able to login and play your turn, take the time to open the forum and check if anything new has happened. It takes another minute of your time.

No bug. Just some general UI improvements for bigger games

If we're just making UI improvements, I would strongly request we not update mid-game.  There are at least 26 ways this can go sideways and if it is not necessary then I'd prefer we just have it for the next large game rather than risking something going wrong with this one.

Wait, was there a bug found in another thread?  This is the first I've seen of needing to update the mod midgame.

Not opposed to it, just a little surprised and wondering what the reason is for.

If you mean the 'circumnavigation message' error: Yes, this bug is included in the current version. So at some point in the future the mod needs to be updated to prevent the message.

Well, I do not want force an update just for UI improvements…, but on the other hand this changes doesn't provide a target for controversy in my opinion.
The risk of failure is relatively low because the updating is by now a quite well-tested process.

Maybe this argument will convince you: With the update you had not to stare on this longish list of unmet contacts anymore.

+1 to leaving the update for later, but thats only for the potential for others to somehow have issues.

I don't care if we update or not, but that's no incentive at all.

It's currently there.  Mocking me.  Driving me to expand and meet them all! (and hopefully take their stuff)

About 2 hours remaining. Will you make it Mr. Cairo and Jowy?

I'll make it.

Miguelito informed me about a bug. Some may remember that in a past version I wrote combat information from all players into the log and that way you get combat information from other players. I fixed that in the past, but I missed some combat entries, which are generated in a different file. Those generate the text message with the combat odds. The problem only occurs during MP games and I can't reproduce the behaviour in SP, but I was able to fix it.

At the same time I wanted to ask if the information in the 'Combat Log' is showing up correct or if you are missing some informations there?

[Elkad]

Nope. I only have odds and result, not the blow-by-blow.
