Imperium without the river rule.

I would like we playtested this plain option for that variant: the Imperium map without any river rule.

Better call in players who have played the river rule, to feel the difference. If the players approve the change, we could dare proposing it for permanent change in vdip.

HowTo make a new variant?

As far as I understand Oliver's full instruction about variant creation is lost. So we are now to find all the information at different interbet resource and make up a new full instruction in the end.

Scramble for Africa Variant - Gauging Interest

I was wondering how interested people would be in a Scramble for Africa variant. I'm already making one for my friends and me to use, so it would be no problem to get it on here once I finish working on it.

Tristan (1000 )

But why is it on the lab? Are you making a new version or something?

The Ambassador (1004 )

Hi Tristan - yes, I wanted to fix some of the gameplay dynamic concerns expressed by some players.

The Ambassador (1004 )
24 Mar 17 UTC

Flame - for some reason I can't PM you on Diplolab getting the following error:
----------
Error triggered: require_once(variants/AustrianSuccession/variant.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory.

This was probably caused by a software bug. If these occur often try enabling error-logging via config.php, and report errors to the official devs for help.

---------
But what I needed to check with you is the retreat phase for clippers for Pirates. Looking at the code I'm guessing its in adjMove.php but can't work out how to keep clippers (fleets) moving up to 2 spaces on the attack, but only 1 space on retreat if dislodged.

I had a look at the Germany 1648 map at vDip as it has knights that also move 2 spaces, but they have the same coding bug of being able to retreat spaces instead of only 1.

Can you please have a look at the code to work out how to change it, or whether you can write some new code to do this?

Flame (938 )
25 Mar 17 UTC

Please check AustrianSuccession variant. I have fixed. Did all the changed were saved in variant.php?

The Ambassador (1004 )
26 Mar 17 UTC

Hi Flame - just sent a test PM to you. Seems to have got through.

When you have a moment to look at the question I had above about the Pirates php code and changing the clipper (technically coded as fleets) into attacking 2 spaces, but retreating 1 space please let me know.

Flame (938 )
26 Mar 17 UTC

Ok.

The Ambassador (1004 )

Hi Flame - any chance you worked out how to change the clipper retreat to just one territory move instead of two?

Site Glitch for Mobile

Today when I tried to log onto this site on my smartphone using 3G, I received this message: "Error Triggered: Column 'ip' cannot be null." It was fairly annoying as it caused me to NMR in one of our test games.

However, I think it might be fixable, because the same glitch doesn't appear on vDiplomacy.com, only here. Do you know what the problem is, Flame?
