It requires Firesoul's OP+4 and The Forge scripts pack.

Online Campaign Interface (OCI).
(Firefox extension to aid in viewing map info here.)

Dave's test missions are still in and we'll update/add/remove them as necessary.

The premise of the server is still the same, a simple persistent server on OP+4 for new players to train on and for old players to get their daily fix. The map for this run is a bit smaller, but still is supposed to be a new resource rich sector of space to be exploited by the empires and cartels who have found themselves transported there. Again, victory will be assigned to the side with the most economic points at the end of this four month run. (2273-2303, 4 days per game year, 5 minute turns)

The webmap and associated pages still work the same and assume that your Dynaverse gamespy login e-mail address is identical to your Dynaverse.net forums account e-mail address. The transfers page is still up to faciliate playing multiple races on one account.

The webmap will continue to evolve and additional features will be added. The Forge is also intended as a testbed for new Dynaverse technolgies. I have another project on the go at the moment, to be announced soon, at which point I will resume work on improvements and additions to the webmap.

The webmap will be offline until the current network issues are resolved, apologies.

Ah, that explains why it won't load for me...

NP, sir.
All good so far...
Enjoying the new Evil dave missions.

Looks like lots of stuff... also, all ships in era on the shiplist are available on the webyards in the column on the left.

Perhaps you were experiencing shipyard lag... next time just give it a minute or two to download, or go to supply and then back to the shipyards to refresh the list in your client.

I'll check it again in a bit to see if the list is different... I notice there is a bid in on a GSC+ for Popeye, but he is not logged in... perhaps his bid is bugged somehow... I'll check it again shortly and correct the situation if necessary.

Purchased ship- it took my money, never gave me ship. I'm afraid to buy another one.

Its those darn Fed ship Salesmen.

Be careful or they'll rip you off!

It takes a turn to come in... I'll reimburse your account if the ship does not come in... What ship did you buy and what race? And was it from the shiplist column?

Ternado, it ppears the fed yards are cycling, but the ship Popeye bid on is not going through for some reason, I'll look into it.

I notice a number of bid in the Klingon yards that have not come in... this is weird, I have never seen this before...

Gonna check the bids table and current turn and reboot the server to see if that clears the issue...

Bonk · « **Reply #11 on:** April 23, 2006, 01:43:43 pm »

Holy crap! The turndescription table is empty!

Gimmie a bit to fix this, taking the server down...

Bonk · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2006, 02:42:21 pm »

After examining older database dumps it appears the turndescription table is a vestigal table, it seems it is no longer in use as the data is present in the capaigninfo table anyway... continuing to dig for the cause of these stuck bids... man this is weird, never happened before.

EDIT: or perhaps the turndescription table is only used in a temporary fashion and has no presistent data... (?)

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #13 on:** April 23, 2006, 02:49:25 pm »

Had one Fed, One Rom and 3 Klinks all say bids on ships were past due...donno...

I'll relog now and place a bid on something to see if it's still happening...

Bonk · « **Reply #14 on:** April 23, 2006, 02:58:18 pm »

Server is down. Something is drastically wrong. I'm stumped on this one.

I'll keep digging for a cause, so far I have been unable to find a reason that bids will not go through. Hopefully it won't take a reset.

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2006, 03:06:26 pm »

Yeah, I see that...
Hopefully, a reset won't be needed... $:-\$

Any chance the webmap might be screwing up the plumbing, so to speak?

I'm looking at everything. It never did in the last four months though, so I can't really think of a reason it would start to cause troubles now...

Oh wait... unless someone transferred races, bought a ship, and transferred back before the ship came in... that might cause this. Let me look for that...

Aha! I found at least one case of that. Lemme come up with a solution.

Once I fix this up I'm going to have to add code to the transfers page to prevent a transfer if there is an open ship bid.

If you transfer races and buy a ship, you must login on the race you bought the ship as, logout once you receive the ship, then transfer back... (if that is what you wish to do). I'm gonna have to stew on a protocol/rules for this situation... hmmm....
