OICS: Month 1 down! and updates

[jshriver]

Sorry about that first time getting online. Having a power outage where I live since Friday afternoon. So my machines have been off. Hoping it is fixed by today or tomorrow.

Due to this I'm looking into buying a small VM somewhere to use just for my OICS and that would give me a static IP as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK, these things happen. I've been running on HGM's server today.

It's back up after a weekend long power outage.

72.241.236.160 port 5000

Sorry everyone! I'm looking into buying a VPS to host it away from my home with a static IP. If so will update the website and here. Looking for recommendations, leaning toward http://servarica.com/

Is the ICS still picking up all logged on engines when running it's scheduled tournaments ? I was logged on all day and it doesn't look like I got a single game.

Same for Dirty, only could play 5 games, but it was be picked by the server automatically

I get this message :

":mamer notes: You can not join. Tourney is not open."

Aye once a tournament has started new engines cannot be entered.

Usually it's once every hour or so for shorter time controls.
The tourney bot does announce them at the beginning in case non-registered accounts are online and want to join in. IT then starts adding everyone from the master list, and gives a 1 minute pause as a last chance for anyone to enter. Then it starts.

Channel 49 has tournament postings, as well as shout.

Hope that helps.

I've added timeseal, so for everyone that wants to play please re-add the timeseal option to xboard/winboard.

If there are any problems let me know. Seems to be working ok from my machines but good to get verification from others.

The tour was not closed. I didnt try to join manuallly. This message was issued when the bot tried to add automatically the engine to the tour..

Yes, I have given up for now. You can sit logged in for hours on end and never get picked up for a tourney.
