Sixteen game on the multiplayer slow game server

[Oberlus]

Did everyone get it, or just a few random people? Were there more than 2 empires (or empires and AI stuff) in the combat or in the system?

On turn 82 I got this:

Code: Select all

At Mbyja alpha: the L29Ah planet Mbyja alpha I was attacked.

That's all.

I don't have a combat sitrep to see the log.
I don't think Dani (my ally) had any ship in there are the time, so probably I should not see it that sitrep.

"This building needs 2 turns to prepare dismantling the outpost. If dismantling is prepared it takes an uninterupted turn without battles happening to completely abandon the outpost"

So the thing is LRs ship arrive just in time to prevent the abandon, but as soon as he invades... well now there is no combat and he inherits the prepared abandon building and immediately it disappears (along with his troopers).

Probably it is missing captureresult = Destroy

It's also missing something to prevent you building 2 of them at the same location by accident.

I didn't get that sitrep but I suppose there some reason to get it.

I didn't get that sitrep but I suppose there some reason to get it.

My guesses are mixing up empire ids with player ids somewhere, having some case that treats "more than 2 empires / neutrals" as equivalent to "every empire", or mixing up "which empire has visibility of stuff in this combat when it happens" with "which empire has ever seen any of the objects that are now involved in the combat". A save that reproduces the issue would probably be helpful to diagnose.

How can I send you saves?

How can I send you saves?

Easiest would probably to put them somewhere obscure on your server that can be accessed publically and send me a link a private message.

That siterep existed two turns, because I capured an outpost of L29Ah. So I actually got the message but that's all right...

By the way: Is there any possibility to stop an once built evacuation system? E.g. if you notice that there is not enough spare room for all of the colonist?

Try scrapping the building.

I'm noticing a secondary problem to game speed that seems to go a little like this:

Free Orion Developers: "Lets add mechanics that hinder spamming colonies on every planet in the universe"

Free Orion Players: "Lets spam colonies on every planet in the universe and never actually go to war"

Nice, I'll update it soon.

[o01eg]

Updated server with this fix.

Actually this was to easy for me to think of... Just try it on a single player game and it works greatly

I probably won't be able to play before tomorrow evening, so to avoid losing a turn I gave my orders, clicked on "turn" and then on "revise turns".
My apologies for the delay.
If I happen to be able to play tomorrow morning or this evening, then I'll finalize my orders as soon as I know it.

If everybody has played their turn in an hour (give or take - when I'll leave home) then I'll play both turns though I won't finalize the second one.
