Game Connection Status

[Elucidus]

This thread is for the status of the game. If it goes down, scheduled downtime, problems connecting, etc...

[Elucidus]

Everything is done, but I have to reboot the server. On top of that, it is installing a bunch of microsoft updates, so it may be a little while. I can't tell you the last time I rebooted, so please bare with me.

I have a problem. The map I have from planet generator, doesn't want to run well in ptbs.

For one I have no controls in the program. I can't save, I can't kick, all I have is an hourglass. the program is also using 4 times the processor and 10 times the ram normally used. I am not sure why this is. Anyone have any ideas?

I could also try a smaller map, but I don't think that would do it I have two huge maps running right now with no problems.

Man, all of these games and issues, I should start charging $1 a month for each game I host. lol

Anyway, I will try a couple more things, including a new map, but I don't think this will get going tonight. Let me know if you guys come up with anything. Sorry there are more problems. There are always more problems.

[Elucidus]

well if I create the map in ptbs with the planet generator it works better, but still the memory usage way above normal. But at least it works. I will try generating a map again tomorrow and run through it again. Sorry about this.

I have to head to bed now, I will look into this tomorrow.

I really appreciate the effort, Elucidus. Maybe you should set up a Paypal account for possible donations?

[Elucidus]

Actually, I have had one set up for donations for CDG from years ago, but ever since CDG went away and I helped FortyJ get Strategamer up, I sort of forgot about it. I don't even know the account information or the link for it anymore.

[proviisori]

that's ok

I wouldn't send you any money anyway

[Elucidus]

Well I tried it again, but it still didn't run right. Then something came up RL, you guys sure you want a planet generator map? Is this a known issue with planet generator?

I guess I could try it on my game system tonight...

I'm pretty sure I speak for just about everyone when I say, we just want a game. Thought Planet Generator would make it easier for you, apparantly not, go standard, and try to edit it to keep the galley contact. Pleeeeeeeaassssse

[fed1943]

Indeed, just a game.

Best regards,

[Elucidus]

Hey, I wasn't sure how intent you guys were with using Planet generator. I'll ram up a game tonight and make sure there is galley contact for everyone.
