DOOM

[Wingedflamez]

Im confused.  I sent in a 2H file, but it told me that i received a "Stale Turn" Message.

I'm going to try getting a resend and see if that fixes it, because llama server is showing that I didn't stale this turn either.

EDIT: i also received an email from llama server stating that my 2H file had been received.  I got me resend and it still shows none of my orders were followed.  So basically everything shows that I took my turn except for the next turn, I even checked my turn 43 files adn made sure that I didn't accidentally not save my orders to eh 2H file, but they are there.

"Hi. On trying to host DOOOM just now, Dominions crashed. This is not a LlamaServer issue, but rather Dominions itself crashed with a "Nagot gick fel" error.

These errors are normally caused by a (generally inexplicable) problem with one of the players' 2h files. Therefore the LlamaServer moved all your 2h files away before hosting again. This is why you will receive a new turn file in which you've staled.

There are two options from here. Either you can treat the stale turn as a random event and carry on with the game, or you can roll back the turn and try to host again. If you try the latter your game admin will have to do the rollback via the admin options on the LlamaServer website, and you will all have to do your turns again. Note that in this case it is _really important_ that you actually do redo your turn, rather than just sending in the same one again (which people sometimes seem to do because they don't believe me). If you just send in the same file, hosting will simply fail again.

I hope you manage to get the game back on course, whichever option you go for.

I also received a stale turn message.  I vote for rollback.

[Wingedflamez]

I vote for rollback as well.

[Haerdalas]

Oh good, it isn't just me. Was getting very confused there. I am fine with rollback, I think Wingedflamez can do that right? or do we have to wait for ParOne?

[Bronwell]

Stale turn here as well and I was cursing and cursing.  Glad to know I didn't totally screw up and forget to hit end turn.  I vote for rollback as well.

[Wingedflamez]

Yeah I can do the turn rollback. I'm just concerned that not everybody knows what is going on/isnt watching the boards.

[Haerdalas]

I am pretty sure most can work it out. If they dont know what is gonig on, they will likely come here to find out. Plus chances are all of them staled too. I say go ahead with a rollback.

[Bronwell]

I would say go ahead with the rollback and send a notice to C'Tis(Ogrims) who already sent his turn in.  Anyone else will get a notice if they try to turn the wrong turn in.

[Wingedflamez]

Ok. I'm going to do the roll back, and send a message to ogrim.

EDIT: before I do that though. Alastair where did you get that message?  Was that an email from llamabeast or did I miss something. There is a pretty heavy warning about rolling back. And if the problem was with someone's 2h file, rolling back may not be enough. We may all have to redo and resubmit.  Apparently rolling back can cause some pretty drastic effects if the 2h files get confused.

[alastair]

Email from llamabeast, just before the new turn went out, and just after mine was received.

[Haerdalas]

Not sure if that means that it was your file that caused the problem, or what, but I didn't get any such email. Ah well, I suggest we all redo our turns anyway just in case.

[Wingedflamez]

Ok. I'm going to go ahead and do the rollback. Everybody, my suggestion is to redo your turn and resubmit, don't just resubmit your previous 2h file.

EDIT: roll back done. It said everyone should receive an email saying what happened that also contains the previous trn file.

EDIT #2: I am also putting extra time on because I think we have some people with sketchy access.

[parone]

ok.  I am back ;)

folks, we are in dangerous territory here.

what turn do we need to submit?  43?

it is vital that we all submit the same turn.  if somebody submits 44 while we all submit 43, we will get corrupted(it'll be over)

im a bit confused as to what happened.

I see on my turn 44, I get a stale message?  so I guess we all resubmit 43?

[alastair]

If someone submits the wrong turn, llama server refuses it and asks them to resubmit.
