News: GOTM137 Ottomans Deity

[Più Freddo]

I've created GOTM137. It's the Ottomans on Deity, as I didn't want to interfere with any work done by Lanzelot. The plan says Demigod, but there is no Demigod in PTW.

• Normal map size
• Wet and warm
• Archipelago with 80% water
• Roaming Barbarians

I hope I've gotten it right with all the settings in the editor including the Scenario properties. I also hope there is someone out there who's interested in playing.

Thanks very much!

I've uploaded the start file, set the database up to accept submissions, and created a game release page here.

Good luck!

It is not possible to play game after 1820AD because too much waiting.

double post...

 

[templar_x]

i will try to play this one. Deity is my favourite level. will try to avoid playing until 1820ad after that information though

I suppose the waiting time is only due to the massive build-up of AI troops at Deity and not to there being something wrong with the game. Try rebooting your computer and not starting any other processes, or play on a more powerful machine.

The submission system is refusing to accept my final save.
Error message says that "submissions ended on 12/31/2014, please correct and resubmit."


Will there be a final thread?

 

[AlanH]

Please email me your save and I'll investigate. The email address is on the message i sent to you today, or on the submission page.

@greatbeyond:

OK, I've found the problem. The game number in the save has a leading zero and was confusing the submission script. I've fixed the script, so you should be able to submit your file now.

I followed this instruction:

Thanks, that's fine. I apologise.

That was the format that has been specified all along, but previous games have never actually included the leading zero, and the script failed when it was added. It was my error, and now the script handles it correctly.

 

[greatbeyond]

Thanks AlanH. I just submitted it.

One strange thing is that the successful submission page that comes up is showing all HTML right before the "Thank You, (name). Your entry has been recorded and your upload is complete. Good luck!"

I haven't seen this error on any other page here or elsewhere.

 

[AlanH]

Thanks, I forgot to remove the debugging code I put in to find the error. I've removed it now.

PS. Is there any reason why you had 20 unsuccessful attempts today before your submitted successfully?

 

[greatbeyond]

I have no idea why it takes me so many attempts to get a submitted save to upload. I am currently trying to get my BOTM 84 to submit (3 times). The window comes up and says this may take a minute, I click on it and the window disappears, but it never seems to process or even start to load the results page.
I am using Firefox V34.0.5. I have it set to ask to allow new windows/popups, but I never see any prompts. I do get prompts with other websites I visit. This started probably two months ago. Any ideas?

 

[AlanH]

You made over 80 failed attempts within about 6 seconds according to the error reports I received. It looks like your browser is trying to send the file multiple times, and tripping over itself. I don't use Firefox so I can't say why it would do that. Maybe some plug-In?

 

[templar_x]

i better announce this long in advance: it would be great if we could have another week on this one. i played far into this game already, but will not see my civ computer for a week now and probably won´t be able to finish without a few additional days... please.

[AlanH]

Since there may be very few players submitting, I'd better try to help you. I've set the finish date back to 8 January.

thanks...
