MARTI dice service website issues?

LaFayette

@beelee we don't get that much money and the money we do get should stop going to a $25/month server when that could pay for half of all the rest of TripleA for a full month. We NEED to stop paying that.

For replacement, labor is needed. Labor/time is all far too expensive to reasonably buy, so volunteer efforts and people helping coordinate, test and validate is all really helpful.

The new dice server is already live at: https://dice.triplea-game.org/, the latest TripleA uses that dice server. Give it a try, it might mostly work just fine. AFAIK its emails go to spam, but are sent.

@LaFayette $25 a month will seem like a bargain if we don’t give folks warning abt this imo

giving some reasonable amount of warning will more than pay for itself in terms dealing with the confused masses alone

ubernaut

@LaFayette when is the next billing cycle for that server? i’d be willing to pay for an extra month on top of that just to avoid the headaches i’m sure will ensue if we give zero warning abt unplugging marti.

i feel like that’s at least a reasonable amount of warning, honestly i think at least 3 months would be ideal as some folks have games that go kinda slow.

@nothingtoseehere fyi might want to get ur tech/politics roll done if you know what they are i have no idea how imminent this is.

@lafayette I just tested with 2026-06.16.15634 - but here still
https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org
is addressed!?

ubernaut

@LaFayette wait i guess missed the last bit of that we just need to enter that new address in the old versions and they should still work?

@LaFayette

Oh, well I have misunderstood the situation then. If the new dice server is already up and running, then we just need to notify people to switch to it.

I'll try it today

@ubernaut I followed your hint and entered the new link into TripleA (2026-06.16.15634) and get this:

When I click Report To TripleA I get this:

TripleA freezes at that point, and I need to kill it via the Task Manager.

@lafayette

@lafayette Considering there seem to be some kinks with the new server ( see @panther's post), is the old server still there for the time being?

@Nothingtoseehere i did get a test roll email abt 19 minutes ago assuming u did too but just to let u know

@ubernaut
What did you do to NOT see the messages I posted above?
In other words: What was needed to do within the settings?

I still get this:

Must be something from the old Marti, then, as the current 2026-06.16.15638 still gives that error with the new dice server.

Here is the related Github issue from May, 8th
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14364

@Panther: I think you are right, and the old server sends the test emails. I was testing with 2.7.15584 and was clicking'Register', which sent me to a register page connected to the new server dice.triplea-game.org/, but when I tried 'Test Server', it used the old server, apparently.

Panther

@Nothingtoseehere Thank you for this confirmation.
That was my experience, too. You can register with the new server - but you can't use it.

LaFayette

The integration with the new server ought to be patched up now. Download & install the latest using the website please. I notice the dice emails are going into spam. Happily that is something we can fix on the dice-server side later (won't need a game-client code update)

Panther

@LaFayette Success! I can confirm that registering, confirming and testmail work with
2026-06.16.15640!

Thank you, that will certainly help!
