Game 53760: xeno, hansolo, Gooey Blob, Chris1977 in 'Moonbase Assault 2v2'

Steve, help! I spent ages selecting stuff for my guys on the webapp, and it all still seemed to be there when I ran the client in order to deploy them. Now, though, I go to take my first turn and they haven't got a bean! If this had been a one-to-one, I might have just shrugged and carried on anyway, but doing so here isn't fair to xeno. Is there any way of restoring my gear without making everyone else restart, or is a rollback the only option?

Hi Chris, I'll have a look, but I might struggle to have time tonight, it might well be tommorow morning. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can find.

Right you are, Steve; cheers. :-)

Based on my form you are still likely to win if unarmed.

Hi Chris, bad news I'm afraid, there's no db records of any equipment for your units (as I suspected, otherwise it would show them) so nothing I can do directly. Do you want me to revert the game back to the equip stage and see if that fixes it? I might as well as you can't really play unarmed.

BTW, when you say "webapp", do you mean the Android app, or the PC client?

* When I say "fixes it", it will still mean you having to re-equip, but sometimes it can cause that particular game to get itself a bit confused. Better than nothing though. :)

I mean the www.stellarforces.com webpage for that game; sorry for the sloppy terminology. It does sound like I managed to overwrite my selections somehow...

Anyway, as to what to do about it, given that there are three other people affected, I think we should take a vote: to roll back or not to roll back, folks?

Roll back to the equip phase is okay with me. I know what my four were equipped with so can do it quick. And I suppose it can give people a rethink on what they equipped with and make a change if they want.

That appears to be a majority in favour, so go ahead, Steve - and many thanks!

(@hansolo, do you want to get that other moonbase-y game - thr one I've invited you to - underway in the meantime, or would you prefer not to risk getting your moonbases mixed up...?!)

Okay, I've reverted it back to the equip stage. Let me know of any issues, as sometimes it does get a bit confused when reverting a mission back a stage. Fingers crossed. :)

Great stuff; thanks again, Steve. :-) It looks like everyone/thing else is unaffected by this rollback (certainly including my and xeno's deployment/mpvements), so hopefully a delay in proceedings of a couple of days will be the worst the other players will experience. Will re-equip and get going again ASAP; am also thinking a financial reward from me for everything you do for the SF community is long overdue...

Glad that worked, I was worried there might be issues like not having any creds or everyone elses equipment going missing. Looks like my 10+ year old code is still working well. :)

Well, I held off the inevitable as long as I could after my teammate's valiant efforts to improve our lot were similarly unsuccessful ultimately! Good game, all - cheers.

Thanks for the game, Chris, cheers

I'll do a rematch and swop sides if anyone wants?

Fine by me, thanks, but let's wait and see if we can get a majority in favour...
