in the 2nd cup please! :)

and oli: could you do that also for stuff like 1on1 but I can chose (EF) vs (GA) or stuff like this? think that should be doable after this works already?

To clarify, you can designate which countries are in the game, but you still get assigned to one randomly? You can't choose which country to play?

there is a small bug, Turkey is unable to build year 1

@Whiskey: not sure, our game name is (ET) and the person who joined first got England and the person who joined second got Turkey...

whiskey: right!

@Rox: From the looks of it, it'll either register (EF) or (GA) as your choices (making it Germany/Austria or England/France) or it will register all four (England/France/Germany/Austria); but I don't think you can give one player two countries, because from the looks of things in my and fasces's game, each country exists individually as a separate country and thus couldn't just be combined.

@whiskeyandfeet: Correct.

@all: There might be a problem with builds...

Yes, you can't choose countries (for now). And I'll check the build problem...

Build fixed...

thank you Oli, your the best

chat-colors will be fixed soon too...

OMG! what a genius!

"Oli, this is fucking brilliant and I love you 'til the end of time."

I second what PE said!

Chat colors fixed, and the colors in the game-listings too...

Hail!

Important note: At least for ET, all centers owned at the start of 1902 are home supply centers. Dunno if this carries across sub-variants.

Is the game still 18 centers for vic?
If it is, then having only two powers on oppisite sides of the board doesn't encourage enough fighting. In Turkey vs. England to 18 centers, it seems more like a race than a fight.
Sigh...

that is true, Maybe a Germany vs Austria game would be interesting...

Yeah, it's still 18. EvT is a race -- to Munich, Berlin, Marseilles, Tunisia, and St. Petersburg. I'll give more thoughts on how this game is going after it's more or less decided.

Its a race to the above centers minus st petes.
Turkey needs to grab 2 of the 4 of Berlin, Munich, Marseilles and Tunis if he wants to win. England needs to grab at least 3. However the advantage for England is that he starts closer to them all except for Tunis...

Nah... while St. Petersburg ultimately can't be held forever by Turkey, if adequately reinforced it can be a real pain to take down and buys Turkey a lot of time.

Would it be possible to add other nations into the list? I mean having more preset nations i.e. Denmark A Den F Nwy F Edi? or something of the sort?

What would happen if you put in more than seven nations (e.g. eight question marks)?

@airborne: Not yet, from the looks of it.
@TBroadley: magic

Universe would implode.

Just a little.

Cascading errors would shut down the Internet.

HUH! Not the internet! anything but the internet! I could live with an imploding universe, but to see the internet shut down, thats unspeakable.

Speaking of errors... I'm not the only one struggling to see things tonight, right?

@Rox: From the looks of it, it'll either register (EF) or (GA) as your choices (making it Germany/Austria or England/France) or it will register all four (England/France/Germany/Austria); but I don't think you can give one player two countries, because from the looks of things in my and fasces's game, each country exists individually as a separate country and thus couldn't just be combined.

<---
my question was to oli if he could do that in another variant using this code and expanding it... possible it has to be as we can already pla frankland against juggernaut.... ;)

Oh, derp. Haha. My bad.

Yeah, it certainly could be done, since we have FvJ, like you noted. I suspect it would still be a royal pain in the ass to implement though. :/

I'm getting the following error under the "My Games" tab.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_OR in /usr/www/users/vdiplo/webdiplomacy/variants/ClassicVS/variant.php on line 66

I'm currently in a Classic VS game, and the same error appears when I try to open another Classic VS game... Hmmm...

This variant is a more a hack and proof of concept. If I manage to get the code in a better shape I might add more features to this variant (like FoW or more countries to one player).
But first let the code stabilize a bit (found 4 problems in the first day) and than it still might take a few weeks (or month)

yep that's good oli may just email me the code you did for this?
i give it a look may I see something... ;)
(pm you my mail adress)
