Updates to this site. |
29 Apr 02PHCc on hold at the moment, will probably only run V4 games through PHCc, unless Autotroll will work with V4..New version of Autotroll is in testing at the moment, I'll install it as soon as I can get it. Includes a host-wide ranking system, (inter-host ranking system is still on our 'wish list'). 05 Jan 02I'm going to register PHCc as soon as I can. All new games, (both v3 and v4), starting from when I get the reg-code will be hosted exclusively through PHCc. Any existing games running under AutoTroll will continue until finish, (unless I can transfer them to PHCc).Upgraded to Host 3.22.043 for all running games. 04 Oct 01Due to the fact that AutoTroll cannot handle Version4 games, (and is unlikely to as the developer has left the scene), I'm testing the PHCc Autohost program, as this will do both V3 and V4 games.If anyone is interested in taking part in this test, please e-mail me and I'll send you the URL so that you can join in, which will run for approx 8 weeks, by which time I'll know if it's going to work OK and I'll register the program, or it won't work and I'll have found some other way of hosting Version4 games. Either way I intend running both Version3 and Version4 games from sometime in the new year. 27 Aug 01Completed transfer of existing pages to new domain, also updated V4 pages to include all the new races. Redesign of new Add-On pages almost complete.3 Aug 01Started transferring page to the new domain.6 Dec 99.I redesigned the "index pages" to use frames, (didn't like it so trying again).I modified all of the pages that <HAWK> posted, (a web based front end for Autotroll, the auto host that I'm using), then found I need to be able to use cgi-scripts, which my ISP won't allow. So it looks like it's back to the javascript version, (something new to learn, so it might be a while), in the meantime the e-mail based system is still, and will remain, available. 22 Nov 99.The add-on pages are being redesigned, and added to. The index page is partially done, the computer-player, host utilities, alt-maps (new), mapping-utilities (new) and scenario section (new) are in a ready to use state. The rest of the "add-ons" section is "as it was". New sections being designed are alt-shiplists, and an online-docs section, as well as revising the host, client and miscellanous utilities pages.8 Nov 99.The host has now gone "live", and is accepting players for 2 new games.11 Oct 99.The hosting site is now undergoing "live" testing using Autotroll Senior.Go to the games page if you want to help test the system. I'm running a test game first to check everything's working at my end, the host system has been transfered to my main computer, and Autotroll should be checking the mail every 2 hours. This means you should get a response to any AT requests withing a couple of hours, if you don't, please e-mail me and I'll try to find the problem. I've redesigned the add-ons pages, (version 3),
but I'm having problems getting the forms to work properly, (it's one of
the joys of trying to learn HTML I suppose), I might go back to the frames
version, (version 2), at least they worked ;-) and I think they looked
better.
The links page, add-ons and download page, and strategy page are now up and running, but the site is still being worked on to bring more news, utilities and strategy info. As the add-ons page is getting larger, and taking too long to load, I'm re-designing it into multiple pages for you convenience. |
