Default Re: PBEM server - first beta Online

Interestingly enough, having the '--textonly' parameter didn't help, either.
Here's the command I use:

dominions2 --tcpserver --port 4040 --noclientstart --uploadtime 0 --mapfile aran.map --textonly testgame

Besides, I can't use '--textonly' for a hostrun, anyway, can I?

But like I said, I can't rule out the possibility that it's OS X related, and might work under Linux... can I send you a little script to test?

You might try adding -q and --host

Thanks for the tip - but no change! I'll continue testing, but fear I have run into a wall here (>_<)
Hopefully Dom3 will introduce a separate server that's easier to use in textmode... but for the time being, I might have to go with Deccan's idea, and have 'domserv' only manage games, but hosts will actually have to download the .2h files to host on their own computers and reupload then once they're done.
