PBW Emergency Site files v1.51 Finished and fixed.

[Ruatha]

Se it working, press games here:
PBW
or
NGC3 Emergency Site

Files are here:
Complete ver 1.2
A patch to latest Version is here:
Patch to ver 1.2
The patch updates index.php and adds news.htm and updates readme.txt

-----------------------------------------

You need a http server capable of handling php files.
The starting file is index.php
You can set up as many sites as you wish but each site needs their own directory with a gamefile and turnfiles subdirectories.
You can alter all data in simple textfiles, the configuration.txt set up is before the site is turned on and then shouldn't have to be altered anymore.
The playerdata.txt needs to be altered when players drop and are replaced.
The deadline.txt needs to be altered when the deadline is updated.
Hopefully I'll fix a better deadline handler in the future, and a progress bar for the uplaod turnfile, that script has been giving some players troubles, I'll look into that (Not working for some).


The gamefile that lies in the GAMEFILE directory must be named in PBW standard,
that is:
Gamename_turnnumber.zip
and the gamename the same as in configuration.txt

i e:
NGC3_57.zip

The uploaded turnfiles in TURNFILES directory should be named accrdingly in PBW standard:
Gamename_playernumber(4 numbers).plr

i e:
ngc3_0001.plr


These are the textfiles that needs to be altered:

NEWS.HTM:
Add all news here.

#1. Configuration.txt:
Game name
Site name
Host name
Host e-mail
Info line

i e:

Made 2003 by James Johansson aka Ruatha with Wordpad.

#2. Playerdata.txt :
Number of players
Player1
Player1 e-mail
Player1 empire name


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you name the empires without player with player name "-" it won't be marked red and will be displayed with the name "(none)".
If the empire is dead name the player "-" and name the empire for example "Dead" or whatever.

(The " shouldn't be included in the textfile)

Is it possible to make a script that will automatically send an email to the game owner when the Last .plr file is uploaded?

Updated again.
readme isn't fixed.
Complete 1.4

patch 1.4

What is it:
If you add Yes in configuration.txt it will mail the host when all has uploaded if
in MAIL.PHP $mailnotify="yes";

You must in mail.php add the servers SMTP and perhaps the Server owners account.

Good Geo??

Will fix readme tomorrow, nighty!

If it malfunctions you still have ver 1.31 to download.

Ok, the email doesn't seem to work. Doesn't give me an errors or anything, but I never get an email.

Doesn't the smtp email need a password? Maybe that's what's wrong?
