Wow, You Don't Say!

Something that I just remembered also is that I had to change mySQL to not use persistent connections. Even though the server was set to allow persistent connections, using mysql_pconnect(); would cause the game to randomly display the error: database is not available, blah, blah...

An entry in the config.php could be used to choose between the connection types. Not really a big thing, but thought that I would mention it.

Thanks for the suggestion; I added that quickly before the release.

You don't happen to remember what the fix was for the recruit/cashing bug was do you?

[The Beatles]

It was in spells.php if that's what you mean.

Are you doing a selective upgrade?

[Turock]

Well, I had made a lot of changes in the version that I was running and the only real problem that we had was the recruit/cashing issue that I mentioned. Is there a changelog for the versions?

[The Beatles]

Not really; we're too busy to use a ChangeLog.

Here's an idea though. Why don't you set up the clean FAF version in one directory of your server, yours in the other, and then do a diff on them? I think the command is:

diff -Naur dir1 dir2

Then we could merge your patches into ours, maybe, so both our servers would benefit?

[Turock]

Well, my coding would be a hack compaired to what you guys do. Smarty and I don't seem to get along very well, *laughs*!

A number of changes had to do with us making the game more of a generic medieval theme. It tooks a bit of time to go through all the templates and code in order to change say hawks to mages, etc.

I have a few questions though, in config.php what do these do?
$config['force_atktype'] = 2;
$config['force_atkland'] = 500;
$config['atkoffset'] = 6 ;# Offset of troop attacks

and if $config['warset'] = 0; does that mean that $config['max_attacks'] = 20; would limit all attacks on an empire to just 20 before getting the 'attacked to recently message'?

[The Beatles]

Hawks are actually set in config.php; just change 'Hawks' to 'Mages' in config.php and the change will automatically appear in the templates.

As for the other things -- force means that under 500 acres, players have to use attack type 2 (Standard Attack); in order to make kills harder.

atkoffset don't worry about.

'warset' means allowing war declarations (similar to clan war, but 36 hour expiration).

Hawks are actually set in config.php; just change 'Hawks' to 'Mages' in config.php and the change will automatically appear in the templates.

If only it was that easy There are lots of places in the script that just use the word hawks instead of using $config['er'][101]['wizards'];

'warset' means allowing war declarations (similar to clan war, but 36 hour expiration).

What I need is to not allow unlimited attacks on empires. Unless I'm mistaken, setting warset = 0 then max_attacks = 20 would do this?

[The Beatles]

Actually, it should be $uera['wizards'] but nvm.

And as to your second question, yes. That still leaves clan war though.
