PBEM 78 Tech Thread

Cool; one of the benefits of PBEMs over PB games is being able to reload misclicks without having to involve a game admin and potentially causing issues for other players. I certainly have no objection to anyone reloading for that reason, provided the misclick didn't result in them gaining information they would not have otherwise.

El Grillo found something interesting in the original code of Civ 4. Apparently the following is possible in Civ4:

(October 11th, 2020, 18:09)El Grillo Wrote: Alice is at war with Bob and has a stack in Bob's territory.
Charlie has open borders with Bob and a unit sharing the tile Alice's stack is on.
Charlie declares war on Alice, and Alice's units end up teleported out of Bob's territory.

I deem this a bug and I have a fix, but as this is a PBEM, I can't do an update that easily. Therefore I just want everybody to know about this bug, so that everybody can do their best to avoid it.

I don't think there's an urgent need to apply such a fix. That situation has never come up on RB and would require explicit exploitation for it to come up in most cases. We can just make sure we don't intentionally trigger it.

I'm proud of everybody.

The tracker page is currently down due to the PHP version upgrade. It looks like the new PHP version does not have the php-pear mail library installed, which is a prerequisite. Brick is trying to get it installed now.

Okay, it's back. Carry on.
