I didn't get a reply posting this in the other thread, so I thought I would start a new thread. Here's my question/concern:
Gents, first let me say... great game! My friends and I are having a wonderful time playing this game.
Now here's my problem... I am still having an issue with diplomacy in the multiplayer game. I don't see an option anywhere to do any diplomacy. We're stuck in perpetual war. I tried establishing an embassy but that did not open up the option anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
PBEM -> I think this is an freeciv-web at play.freeciv.org rather than regular desktop client, right?
Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
Did you check the Nations screen? When you have an embassy with someone, click on that player, there should be a "Meet" button.

Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
Not in PBEM. PBEM games do not support diplomacy.
Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
Is there a specific reason for not supporting diplomacy in PBEM ? Is it a bug ?
Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
Diplomacy isn't working in PBEM games, because the diplomacy code in Freeciv was developed a long time ago before Freeciv-web got PBEM support, and no one has done the development work to implement diplomacy support for PBEM yet. The main issue is that the human players are never connected to the same server in PBEM games, since in PBEM games the next player loads the savegame from the previous player, turn after turn. The diplomacy buttons have also been disabled in PBEM games in Freeciv-web. I guess it should only take a few hours to fix.

Freeciv savegames have contained open diplomacy meetings for years now. What else is needed?AndreasR wrote:Diplomacy isn't working in PBEM games, because the diplomacy code in Freeciv was developed a long time ago before Freeciv-web got PBEM support, and no one has done the development work to implement diplomacy support for PBEM yet.

Re: Multiplayer PBEM Diplomacy Bug Still There
PBEM games on Freeciv-web was initially a 2 player duel, where the winner got points in the ranking table. In a 2 player duel, the idea at the time was that diplomacy was not needed. Also, it didn't work at the time, if I recall. Anyone is free to submit pull-requests to improve this.
