CivStats.com - View your Pitboss games on the web

Could you upload a screenshot of your Pitboss admin window? It might be encountering something I've never seen. Also, try using the latest uploader version.

I do not know if you did something on the server, but now I got the
uploader to work again. Then I upgraded anyway and the new version
also works. Thank you!
 
Is it just me or is civstats really laggy in sending email notification? Might it be because we just did aprox 100 turns in one go?
 
Seems like civstats is down. Or maybe not, i got internal error but not anymore.

I don't know, but we had a turn roll over in the Intersite BtS game at 12:30am EST and the turn notification only just reached my inbox (though it does have a correct "sent" time). It just took almost 17 hours to make it into my gmail inbox.
 
The email was doing some weird things last weekend. On Sunday I received about 200 email rejection notices. I think it's all working now.
 
A new bug (I think)

1) registered user in game sets preferences to email turn notification
2) player unregistered from the game (game still in progress)
3) player still receives turn notification

I think the "unregister" should remove the notification and all record of that person but apparently not.

I have tested this by first removing email preferences and then unregistering in another game and I am not receiving notification now.

I have no way now of removing the email preference from the game as the player that took over for me has not registered in civstats.
 
Currently there are two main things that I miss, which I would love to see (return):
1. BTS civs can't be chosen for players.
2. The score graph doesn't work anymore.

Any idea if and when you have time to fix this, OverloadUT?
 
Overload, First off, thanks so much for making this program. It makes a Pitboss game so much more managable. I have never seen a working graph on the webpage - is there a program I need to have installed to make that work? Is there a newer version that includes the BtS leaders yet? Have you considered putting at least some ads on the CivStats page to get paid back for your work? When the email was down this weekend, I realized how much I rely on CivStats in my games. I don't think I'm alone in saying a few ads on the pages would be understood by almost everyone using it, and it could recoup some of your effort. Thanks again for all of the work you have done to support the community. I wish Firaxis would include CivStats in the Pitboss.exe so everyone could get it.
 
Thanks for the kind words guys. Civstats 2.0 is still coming, albeit very slowly. I really don't want to put up a donation link until I have that up, as the current version just has too many problems. 2.0 will be very cool and will support everything but unfortunately it's just hard for me to find time to work on it right now.

The graph doesn't work because my host disabled it due to it using up too many resources (it's one of the many things 2.0 improves greatly.)

OverloadUT,

Thanks for the efforts that you have put into making civstats.

I'm currently running Pitboss through Cedega.

It appears that CivStatsUploader.exe doesn't want to function well under either wine or Cedega. It almost wants to function properly under wine though, but it hangs while looking for the Pitboss window.

Is there some way to override this process and manually set it?

Attached is a screenshot of the uploader in wine. I believe that it does communicate with the civstats server, because when I enter improper user information I get an error back.

I'm willing to do what I can to help make your program function better under Wine.

Thanks again

(edit) - I incorrectly listed it as game 812, when I enter the correct value of 816 the result is the same.

Unfortunately my Civstats Uploader's method of getting all of its information relies heavy on the Windows API because it reads the Windows controls right out of the Pitboss window. At this time I don't think it would be possible to get it to work under Wine. :(

The good news is that 2.0 will be using a 100% different system that could easily be made to work in Linux.

I know I keep saying 2.0 will solve everything but that it never comes, but it'll come some day...
 
Cedega usually handles API calls better than Wine. If I could get the uploader to launch via Cedega it might 'Just Work'(tm)

Unfortunately it errors much earlier in the process with this window. If there is a dll that I'm missing or something perhaps you could let me know.

Interesting. That error is definitely a runtime error caused by my not-graceful-enough error checking. All of my source code is at home so I'll have to look at it there. It might be an easy fix.

I'll be honest, you should add me to your IM client's buddy list and bug me later about it (in the evening or on a weekend) and I'll be about 50 billion times less likely to forget about this.
