News & Updates

May 11, 2006

Fixed a bug related to territories with multiple positions (such as Spain).


May 10, 2006

Fixed a problem with retreats.


May 3, 2006

Made some changes to data access.  Please bear with me as there may be some hiccups, but this should improve the overall reliability.


April 25, 2006

Added the remaining PNG units, all courtesy Dan.
Added weekend skipping back in based on player feedback.  A group that wants to play over the weekend can always make use of the "Ready for phase" feature.
Added some basic error checking to the move submissions to help cut down on accidental mistakes in the orders.
Updated the way games in sign-up display


April 22, 2006

Added the new PNG versions of the Black, Red, and White pieces Dan made.
Updated the connection code to no longer try to save it as a session var. I'm thinking that way of doing it might be an arachaic left over of ASP.
Sent an email off to the web host to see what they can do about allowing more memory, as it seems the Execute Moves page can't quite complete for my complicated move-sets. They responded pretty quick and made some suggestions I'll be looking into.


April 18, 2006

Automated "Ready For Phase" to be set for retreats and unit adjustments when player has no retreats or unit adjustments to make.
Added a Failed Login page.


April 16, 2006

Added "Ready For Phase" feature, allowing players to execute the moves before the timer expires.  Changed next turn update to be 24 hours following execution of turn (rather than 24 hours from the previous turn).  Announcement page now only lists the top 15 announcements by default, however a "view all" button is also available.  


April 15, 2006

Removed the weekend-skipping code I'd forgotten was there.  Re-added days counter so that >24hours to next move is obvious. 


April 14, 2006

Added a User Name and Password recovery feature.
Added support for PNG alpha blending.  This will allow graphics to be partially transparent.
Added "Other Options" menu, and Resign option.
Changed first move date for Standard Diplomacy to Spring 1901.


April 12, 2006

Sample Updated the graphics for the Diplomacy Gameboard and pieces.  Many thanks to Dan R. for creating the awesome unit graphics! 

Domain transfer is complete and mail appears to be working.

Also laid down some of the groundwork for players being able to specify when they are ready.  When implemented, this will allow players to override the count down timer when they are unanimously "ready".

April 11, 2006

Updated connection strings so that it should support at least 10 simultaneous connections.  Working on email notifications, but will need to wait until domain transfer is complete in a day or two.


April 1, 2006

Updated the site to use .NET 2.0 which fixed the Web User Controls used in the status pages.


April 1, 2006

Re-launch of the ChasmGames Diplomacy site is almost ready! Uploaded application to the site today and did a test run. Everything looks good.
