I'm sorry but it seems like I started somehow a bit earlier with the Galaxy Dynasty. And somehow the score didn't reset or something. And
I had the same thing here. For some reason, it didn't reset on this end.
I just ran 'reset.sh' from within the Galactic Dynasty directory to
reset the game locally.
I'm sorry but it seems like I started somehow a bit earlier with the Galaxy Dynasty. And somehow the score didn't reset or something. And now I'm 2 days prior to others. My proposal for my score it to take hold
from GD until Sunday.
13:15:16 Got packet for incorrect game id, skipping
I am unsure if a league reset is working for me. If it's a switch
it's not working. If it's just the word reset then it runs to a point
but bails on a linux command that is not windows friendly as it's a
batch file I'm running. How do I send a league wide reset? Should the fsxNet version of the game be updated or is it the latest
version/build that you created?
I've just put a new build on jenkins that fixes the reset.bat. I think
Hopefully then it should work.
If it doesn't, it might have to wait a bit as I have a fairly busy week and fly out on friday.
Sorry about that..
I have to update the 1/10 HUB with the latest Apam version yet. Was
going to work on this tonight but ran out of time. So will aim to do
so tomorrow. I did hatch out the latest versions about 24 hours ago
so if you are a node in the inter-bbs league please feel free to
update to this version and start to test it. I will do the same
tomorrow and advise when done at this end and also when another reset
has been sent. Sorry about the reset but it's probably the best way
to ensure we all start from the right place - agree? Also look for an updated BBS.CFG as I will be adding in another node tomorrow.

It's done, 1/10 HUB updated and have updated Agency. Have issued a game reset. Will hold off on a new BBS.CFG just yet.

Hey
I've doing some thinking about the issues we've been having, and am considering moving the game_id to the BBS.CFG. Either that or changing it to a text file and having a human readable/editable number that can be manually set to the current game id.
if we do it via BBS.CFG you'd be responsible for setting a new game id
and hatching out the updated BBS.CFG each time you want to reset the
game. (or leaving the game id the same if you're just adding nodes).
The other way would continue to work the way it is now, but would be able to be changed by the sysop if something is going wrong.
At this point I think the BBS.CFG way would probably be less problematic, but require a little more intervention, so wanted to float the ideas
first to see what you (and others) think.
I'm fine with that, given we're sending out a BBS.CFG each time
anyway it seems a logical way to go.. at least it ensures that aspect
is set in unison\ Perhaps a switch for GD that the HUB can
announce/set the Game ID like it can add/remove nodes may be another
option or have both options available?
Yep I'm fine with your preferred suggestion... others may want to
jump in also with their thoughts... thanks for taking the time to
ponder it. It's not an urgent thing by any stretch.. family first
etc.. but if you have some downtime and want to look at it further
then all good and thank you :)
before I go ahead and do it.
Hope your trip goes well.

I'm not really sure if I got it correctly. But once this is done is
there need to manually edit the BBS.CFG every time for every system?
BTW: I came up with an idea. That's marketplace. Once I'd mine some
ore I'd sell it. If I'd prepare for war. I'd buy troops and then sell
it. Do You know Elite from ZX Spetrum? That was my favorite game.
However I'm not sure what would it do to the game mechanics. But as I recall Elite was FPS and this is strategy. So who knows.
What the game id is supposed to do is ensure packets from systems that haven't reset when a game is reset from being processed. For example,
Paul issues a reset but a game creates score packets before the reset signal is received, then those score packets wont be imported into the
new game.
This is more precise screenshot of what has happened: https://postimg.cc/image/sjm3kyjbp/
I'm sorry to bother You again. But I made an experiment. And I found
that the trouble possibly causes the line 2700 in main.c in current
state of art at Your repository of Galactic Dynasty. I mean there is
atoi function converting the buffer to integer. In my opinion that could handle only max. 9 characters. So in the fact now. When player enters 10 characters as allowed by the game it causes the buffer overflow in that function.
I achieved a bit better result using:
i=strtoull(buffer,NULL,0);
... so far I couldn't sleep and with some help of the bohemian
goddess. I found the fix. It's quite "simple". It's sufficient to use
atol instead of atoi.
Thanks for that, I ended up using strtoll.
I've also added pirate attacks... hopefully haven't totally screwed up
the balance ;)
Thanks, its a suprise visit my Dad does not know Im coming ... :-)
I've made some changes to the next version of Galactic Dynasty. Packets that are the wrong game id will be renamed with a .GAL.OLD extension, packets that are a wrong version or otherwise bad will be renamed with a .GAL.BAD, only packets for a different league will be left untouched.
Can you get me set up for the GD league game? I finally got GD
compiled and running. Not sure what the problem was before, I was
missing a prerequisite I assume. Whatever it was, it got installed
when I installed the list of prerequisites from the magicka web site.

but it segfaults when trying to read the door.sys. Any ideas?
Could you please email me a door.sys file it segfaults with so I can
have a look?
My email is apamment@yandex.com
A couple things I've noticed with 1.7.0-fsx:
I have been out of the BBS scene so long, I do not know what version of Galactic Dynasty there is.
As well, I probably missed out on the File Posting...
Could you Hatch out the latest fsx_Net Inter-BBS version as well as
the current BBS.CFG?
Didn't we just Reset the game? How is it that 1 person has such a high score and Won the game already? Just curious.

I simply dunno... :(
It appears that I didn't get a reset packet here when everyone else
reset. I'll manually reset my game here; everyone else can have a little head start.
Yeah the issue is I can't seem to send them out at the moment, but when Apam is able to have a look I'm sure something will pop up :)

So I'm thinking its broke.

Just wondering... GD on your website is not Interbbs activated..
Just wondering why. It's cool if not, just wondering...
Oh I saw you logged on to the Game Server but it was my older
game server (GameServer), I had it up for a few hours ... trying to
figure out why it is sometimes Slow and Locks Up.. but I could not so
I am back to my other Game Server (Mystic).
I did have it set up on Exotica, but since shutting that down and opening up the Fat Sandwich I never set up interbbs. No real reason, just lazy I guess :P
I did? When did I do that? Could it have been someone using my BBS? I think I have Quazar set up there, but I haven't logged in in a while, I really should play some more in motel kalifornia.
Hello everyone!
Question anyone running Galactic Dynasty on SBBS?
Sure would like to know the config for it. Only reason being I play it a lot.
Apam,
DM posted this message in the Synchronet Sysop echo. There is a
bit towards the end addressed to you regarding an issue he has
noticed.
Ah small problem with that BBS.cfg you sent out,
You left the outboxes in it. not a biggie but we'll have to remove them for it to work, else we'll have to set up fileboxes for each node like
the hub.
Yep I did, whoops... have resent the correct one now.

Hehe, sounds like something I would do :D
BTW, I think this will be the first test of adding someone to an already running game with the new game_id code. Hopefully it will work! I have a few ideas what might go wrong and if they do how to solve them, but as long as no one is making packets with incorrect game_ids, it should got according to plan.
Perhaps it's time to update soon?
So far I'm liking the changes as it seems to make the game more challenging, so you don't get tonnes of money anymore.
There is a new BBS.CFG file being sent to you that should land in your inbox, please drop this in to your GD directory
You also need to set your galactic.ini file as follows
Log Path = c:\path\to\your\galactic\logs
Log Path = c:\path\to\your\galactic\logs
I'm glad you posted this. I didn't have that line in my galactic.ini
file. When I would upgrade the game, I would copy mine into the
directory, so I wouldn't have to edit it again... :)
Log Path = c:\path\to\your\galactic\logs
:) It was a feature request that Andrew added for us :) He's good like that :)
Somehow I missed that one... :) It is a great idea. The log files can get
a bit 'out of hand'...
Andrew is just an awesome, all-around guy! I just wish I had a portion of the programming knowledge he did... (and ANSI talent...) ;)
Yeah, Paul's good at coming up with ideas :) The log path is actually optional, if it's commented out or not there it will just dump log files in the current directory like it used to.
*blush* well thankyou. speaking of ansis did you get the one I sent you? not sure if it worked as it might have been while your bbs was doing strange things.
He really is good at it. :) As soon as I saw the message Paul posted, I added it to my galactic.ini file. There really are a lot of log files created...
Yes, I did get it. Thank you! I've never had someone make an ANSI screen for me before... :)

Avon,
I am under the impression that Galactic Dynasty is now a part of fsxNet (or at least support) and the game has gone InterBBSing. Is this
correct? Pardon me, I have not been following along as I should be. It
is very interesting that apam got his game to work InterBBSingly <g>. I too, at some would like my door game Legion RPG to support IBBS. Any leads would be great.

Thank you for that. I will look around here in a bit. Any information will be helpful, I am sure.
