Colonization PBEM

[OzzyKP]

I'm getting back in now. As for the turn timer.. if we don't mind queuing up some moves, what do you think about 12-14 hour turns?

[amarriner]

Sorry I had to bail last night. At least we got a few turns in. Just took my turn(s).

Sure, I'll change the turn timer to 12 hrs. I'll probably miss some turns, but generally speaking that's not all bad as sometimes I just need to hit ENTER anyway heh. Can always change it again later if we need/want to.

[amarriner]

Had to restart the pitboss server because I lost internet connectivity earlier. You might have to replay a turn.

[OzzyKP]

Looks like the server is down again.

[amarriner]

Huh weird. Maybe lost connectivity again. Anyway it's back up, sorry about that.

[amarriner]

Lost power, server is down for a bit. If you have a recent save, send it to amarriner ta amarriner tod com.

[OzzyKP]

Actually I was out all weekend, heh, just got back now. So no save from me. Use whatever you've got.

[amarriner]

Server is back up! It's your turn right now.

[OzzyKP]

Oh wow, we went back a ways. This was from a few days before I left.

[amarriner]

Yep that was the most recent one I had, sorry. I was trying to save each of my turns as I went, but forgot to after a while.

[OzzyKP]

You should just adjust the auto-save to be every turn.

[amarriner]

Yeah. I really wish I could set the pitboss server itself to do that, but I don't see where that's possible.

[OzzyKP]

You can set your own autosave, I believe it would take a save every time you login and play a turn.

[amarriner]

Yeah I was just looking for that in the options, but couldn't find it. Maybe in the .ini file somewhere?

[amarriner]

Okay yeah I see the setting in the INI file. It's set that way on the server, but because I have two pitboss games going and I didn't really separate ours properly (because I'm a noob heh) the saves are kinda clustered together (in fact now that I look at it, I think it's not saving our game correctly at all!!). Sometime today I'll bring the server down and re-adjust some stuff so that they're separated and should work well in the future.
