This is the IT and Tech Issues Thread for RBP11, a 'greens' game featuring some players with less experience in the MP scene. The organizing thread for the game can be found here.
The game is now live. If this is your first time connecting please read this entire post carefully. Text in Red will be of interest to veterans.
Access the game via DirectIP connection to sunrise089.dyndns.org:2063. No password is needed (nor will one permit a successful connection) when connecting to the game. Make 100% sure there are no spaces in the field or you'll get an error. Spaces love to crop up unexpectedly, so please double-check this before posting that you can't connect.
The first time a player logs into the game they will be asked to set and confirm a password. This is non-trivial to change, so please make sure you know what it is, can remember it, etc.
In-game you can play as normal. This game is played via simultaneous turns, so you can queue unit actions and builds like normal, even after you end turn. I get asked sometimes, so I'll note you press TAB to chat in-game. When you're done playing please log out via Exit to Main Menu, not Exit to Desktop (which can create connectivity/lag issues).
I have set a 48 hour timer per team for the first turn. Starting next turn (if I remember
) the timer will switch to approximate 24 real life hours based on how fast things are moving in game. Of course in the future the timer can be tweaked according to the wishes of the players.
This game uses Civstats to track the turns and other info. This game is here. If you want to register via Civstats and claim your civ the password for each civ is "sirian."
From now on, please let me know if you have any technical concerns in this thread. I can be reached infrequently via forum PM, and easily via email at sunrise089 at gmail dot com and IM at sunrise089 on either AIM or GChat.
[It looks like there is a pretty good overview in the organizing thread, but if want anything here like team emails or rules just let me know]
