It still just crashes after clicking ok, just this time it goes black before it crashes.

Click multiplayer, then click ok. You will then connect to the server and obtain the region data

Got as far as click multiplayer then ok, at that point the screen goes blank (Firefox 3.5.7), also tried the local version and got the same thing happening

ah so it's one of those demos that only work on a Tuesday afternoon if the sun is shining? seems to be a common issue in software projects

[ihatetacos]

sorry dudes get to the ok and it goes down

[croxis]

the server program crashed, i couldn't tell you why as I have not implemented logging yet x.x

In good news I restarted the server app, so it works again.

[WC_EEND]

still crashes here, I also get 404 errors when clicking the links

[Nique]

If you get a 404, it means that his (home) server is offline..

[croxis]

No it means my damn router switched ip so port forwarding isn't working. It is now fixed.

[Jonathan]

Still goes grey after clicking ok...

[croxis]

Whoops, forgot to restart the region. NOW it works. Untill this damn wireless fails on me again.

Should be required by law all apartments are wired with cat5.

It worked, but I then created a city (was I meant to?) and then created another without really meanign too and then it crashed and it won't work again so I think I broke it

Also what is the extent of the prototype?

[croxis]

Yup, it crashed and I caught the exception, so I am working on a fix for it right now

[Edit] found the problem. One of the things I added was user account system. So you signed in with the default user name and password and it got linked to your ip. Someone else connected with the same user name and password, and that account was then tied to this other person's ip, so when you tried to make another city, the server no longer had any idea who you were. I'm congering a fix now.

The extent of the prototype is more or less what you saw. I was hoping to add more, such as being able to delete your own cities and not others, click on cities for an info window about it, and little overlay text like region view in sc4, but I ran out of time to meet my self imposed deadline.

[croxis]

Ok, fix committed and server is up

and another crash, why didn't i have these problems when I was working on it x.x

Fix committed, back up

[Victor01]

Ummmh... I still have problems (cannot open anything). 

[catty]

Got as far as click multiplayer then ok, at that point the screen goes blank (Firefox 3.5.7), also tried the local version and got the same thing happening

Still have the same problem, left it for awhile in case it was a time issue, nothing just a blank screen in Firefox, the local version opens a window which just vanishes after a few seconds 

[Victor01]

well...now I can open it, but I still can't open it (freeze on web, close the .exe).

[croxis]

"Prototype is offline due to network instability on my end."

I think i got stability fixed, but i just checked a quick cpu use and the server is using 100% cpu. I have a thread that isn't sharing so I need to find who it is and talk to its mother.
