What specifically is this, and why am I getting this? I just tried to update the Zelda; Doujingeemu file (temporarily using Rinku's account because I have the faster connection and he was the original uploader), but I got Hacking attempt for that. So I tried uploading it as a new game (Zelda; Doujingeemu (March Update)) under my own account, but I got Hacking attempt for that, too.

Rinku attempted to upload Zelda; Doujingeemu, and guess what he got. No... not Hacking attempt. He got:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\websites\resadmin\castleparadox\castleparadox.com\web\cgi-bin\add-game.php on line 23

Rinku Hero says:
just *how* does it expect me to upload a 600k file in 30 seconds
Komera says:
not to mention a REALLY big game like w;p1, ergintandal, or kinder...
Rinku Hero says:
yeah

(which is why I was trying to do the uploading first, because of the reason I stated in the first post)

Once Inferior Minion gets on, he'll most likely fix the problem, and contact you via PM on what to do/what was wrong.

First off, the games are not added on the same page as the description. Only a screenshot. The error message came from add-game.php. You don't add the .zip through that page. Our server has limited the maximum execution time of any php script to 30 seconds. You might have noticed that if you are on dial-up and a slow connection due to downloads. To get around this max execution, I put the game upload on a different page using a diferent programming language. Through this page I have been able to upload over 1.2 MB files on a dial-up. I quit testing when it took me over 10 minutes to upload one of the games from O:OHR. I just left the large uploads for Aeth or CN.

Secondly, the hacking attempt. It's most likely a glitch in my programming which is causing you to log out when you try to edit the game. I believe I PMed you about it when you were initially having a problem adding a game. I must have missed a few of the changes I needed to make.

For those of you who haven't come across this problem, let me explain. I added "Hacking Attempt" so no one could edit content that was not their own. Blazes Batttles tested it out when he figured out the url process for editing games. Luckily, he found that he could only edit games he had added and no one elses.

The only problem is phpBB uses a session id to identify users. I'm not entirely sure about this, but I believe phpBB initially tries to save the session id in a cookie. If that fails, it adds the id to the url:

Yaeee, it works!

Yes, I did notice that you can't upload the zip from the first page. I hadn't been trying to upload the zip from the first page. When I was Rinku's account, I was just adding a note to the description, and when I was me again, I was just trying to put in the title, description, and screenshot that I just did a few minutes ago. I have no idea what Rinku was doing when he tried to upload it... aside from trying to upload it.

Anyway... thanks again! *^_^*

Sorry if what I said sounded negative Blazes Battles, but I'm glad you tried it out. Big grin

I didn't mean you were accusing me, I just wanted to clear up any anonymous concerns. Happy
