Dice Server Problems

[Geograph]

Are there dice server problems again?

I got the following error message (e-mail is checked of course):

Contacting  dice.tripleawarclub.org
An error has occured!
Possible reasons the error could have happened:
  1: An invalid e-mail address
  2: Firewall could be blocking TripleA from connecting to the Dice Server
  3: The e-mail address does not exist
  4: An unknown error, please see the error console and consult the forums for help

Indeed, I have reopened

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/1624

Thank you for reporting.

Putting this unauthorised file in your bin directory for Triple-A will resolve this problem. It will also pick up a bunch of authorised and unauthorised improvements:

https://github.com/simon33-2/triplea/releases/download/FixDice2/triplea.jar

[simon33]

Note that the above has not been well tested. I’ll endeavour to resolve any issues.

For the list of changes, the main authorised change included in build 3627 which most people are using is making the SBR automatic. This was done mostly to reduce the number of passes of control in online games. Also to reduce the number of battle order rule violations.

Authorised changes since build 3627:

• Warning for not posting
• posting dice details by default

Unauthorised changes:

• Auto Fights battles against defenseless opponents
• Fights a single amphibious assault after the above, after first fighting any sea battles
• Fights a single remaining battle after the above
• EDIT: don’t prompt to retreat when only defenseless units remain.

The issue has been fixed, the dice server “rolls again”.

Temporarily apparently.

Yes. They are going to change from http to https.

I’m trying to get started with TripleA, and I’m stuck at the dice server. When I try to register my two email addresses, I put in an address, click register, and then I get a white screen. I don’t receive any email from the server to confirm a registration (is that what’s supposed to happen next?), and when I try to test the server from within TripleA, it tells me the addresses are unknown. It sounds like MARTI is going through a rough patch - is there another server that can be used? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Welcome to the forum, mvk20 and thank you for reporting.

Indeed, registering is broken at this very moment. I saw that your issue already has been addressed on Github - and they are working on it.

Using the dice server for users already registerered still appears to work, though.

I’m afraid there is no alternative online dice server that you could enter into TripleA.

As a temporary workaround you could use the ingame dicey (trusting your opponent) or dice using the forum dicey (editing the results into TripleA).

Registration has been reported to work again  :-)

Well, I got a little further this time, but not much. The blank white screen now contains the message, “Email delivery failed, try again later,” for both of my addresses. I’ll try later…
