TripleA & dicerollers has begun developing problems..

I’ve also experienced problems like that. I have a question about this: does TripleA not work on Vista? It worked on my XP but now that I’ve switched over to Vista, I can’t. Could this be the problem/culprit?

I have seen (all of) these problems recently as well.

Note: I’m still on XP so Vista does not appear to be the root cause.  I’m not sure how to tell if anyone has worked on or created a patch for the “patched” version that works on the forums.

See this thread (may be related):

Is the problem b/c we are now into the 10,000’s and the TripleA prog can’t handle that? That thought had crossed my mind b/ I don’t know if that’s the reason.

Please download the latest TripleA (0.9.3).  Turn Summary Posting has been fixed in that release, and is now being maintained as part of the main TripleA stream.
See this post for more details:

Posting is working, but I have suddenly become unable to roll any dice.  Anybody have any ideas why?  I’ve verified the email address, tried it with just one email address, and tried both TripleA and Irony servers.  Irony times out and TripleA gives a rather lengthy error:

Test
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

There is a thread at triplea warclub about this problem.  It is possible that the dice servers got reported for sending spam emails and got shut down by the hosting company, at least for now.

A couple guys over there have spun up new dice servers using the MARTI code.  You can add properties files to your triplea dice server directories to use these new dice servers.  Having tested them both a little, I had better success with the e-lake (europe) one than I did with temporal, but YMMV.

Go here to see the thread and get the files.  The files show up on page 2 or 3 of the thread.

Hope that helps everyone who uses TripleA here!

Thanks.

Right click, “save target as”, and then rename the file as “Temporal.properties”.  Next time you start up Triple A, viola!
