Back in the day, there were a handful of java applets available from the official SubSpace website. subcredits: a small vertically scrolling text widget against a star field. Was seen on the official site's landing page. subships: a fun little visual banner that had the original 5 ships (warbird, javelin, spider, leviathan, and nightwasp) moving back and forth across the canvas against a star field. subhelp: ??? I've found copies of the first two applets and have even gotten them working in an old applet viewer. Eventually I plan to try porting them to javascript. However I have not been able to find any copies of the subhelp.class applet. …

The spectate.bm2 file holds graphics used in the player list stat box and most of it is pretty obvious in what it's used for... Tick mark, spectating player, attached player, and ticked variants of the previous two. But there's also a graphic in there that is of a yellow square and all combinations of the tick/spectate/attach with it. Does anyone know what that yellow square is supposed to signify? I don't recall ever seeing it on the player list.

I fixed the Quotes database last night, so will be putting that back up either this evening or tomorrow night. Not sure if the scripting will need work yet, but it is a start. I also have all the pages from sscentral, subspaceonline, ssgn, and subspace.co that I will work on condensing and restoring. Sscentral.com will also be making a comeback. Next I have all the old ssdownloads files, so I will work on restoring them to the downloads section here. I had a lot of them on themmog, so won't be too hard to do. Finally, some of our old subdomains i may bring back too as their creators had a lot of good dev information there. D1st0rt, Smong, and Junky to name …

I found info from the first ever Subspace convention on an old hard drive a few years back and I thought I would post details of it to the community. If you have information on any other past IRL conventions, please feel free to create a post below this and put in any detail you may have

Hope everyone has a great time spent with their family and friends. Few bullet points: I have had a lot of thanks for restoring the forums, so I am glad people enjoy reading the history stored here. I did some cleaning up and condensing, along with cleaning up the database. There is still an issue with post downloads I need to work out. That will come in time. As I said in another post, I will be working on restoring more sites over the next couple of months. It is all for nostalgia. I may return to the wiki idea many requested, giving us our own place to record history and knowledge. Time will tell. Again, enjoy yourselves and see you…

For years, nearly 11yrs now, I have been pestered to bring back SSForum. Until February of this year, I ignored that call completely and didn't even play the game anymore. Occasionally logging in just to keep my account alive and see how much the population had dropped. This past February, while talking to a friend from another game, he mentioned wanting to create his own fan discord or forum for it. I offered to help if he really wanted to go for it and he asked me what experience I had. After we talked about my history here and with a few other games, he mentioned SubSpace looked so decentralized and was probably doomed to die. For the first time in 11 years, I fel…

It would be cool to have a thread full of historic Subspace pictures, old subspace webpages(archives?), things that remind you of when you first played this game. Preferably don't chime in if you started playing recently. <_< Also, just to clarify, don't post your life story, how or why you started playing this game, or your mother's maiden name. Only Subspace related nostalgia(VIE nostalgia encouraged)!!! Just ran across this picture that takes me way back. This picture should be familiar to you if you started playing a really long time ago.

I played as Warhammer in the original Beta and subsequent retail product. I created the squad Time Bandits, which eventually spawned Striker and then went on to create Gemini. Eventually I joined Reds as probably one of the least skilled pilots in there I attended the SubSpace convention in San Diego just after the retail launch. I worked on the first subspace fanzine co-producing a report of the first subspace convention. I was the first person to have a player made map put up on the official servers and then quickly brought down again when people found a mistake in it where flags could get trapped, ops. I helped form the Map Making Guild which was the first o…

I'm gonna miss you guys. This forum closing is going to end an entire chapter of my life. Not many of you know or may care but to me, this game and its community were a part of my life, and it's leaving. I don't visit any other websites related to this game other than an occasional view over on the TW forums. This was my go-to viewer when I was bored. I never really posted because I didn't have anything of value to add to discussion. You guys are veterans to the backbone of this entire game's society. I don't think there's a better explanation to it other than that. Please feel free to top me. It's sad to see my connection to this community being severed. I don't have any…

Happened to google about ss/cont this evening after not having played for years. Somehow figured out my password here which seems to have the old ssforum accounts. Was surprised to see a lot of familiar names had still posted here in 2014, so wanted to say hi. I was a reasonably well known map/tiles/gfx dev that contributed work to lots of places including t3g, eg, fusion, rs, ds, halo, svs, and probably some other i don't remember. And ran a paintball zone a few times. I stopped playing in 2008 after graduating HS. Maybe logged on once or twice in college but thats it. 24, married now, work as programmer - life's good. If anyone wants to use a lot of old tileset …

We've made some progress: 1) Chaos/League now shows in the directory server listings: sscentral.sscuservers.net dirserver.ssnecentral.net ssdir.playsubspace.com You only need one of these - sometimes some of them won't show the zone - try a different one. Chaos/League is listed as SSCXX Chaos/League Zone SVS (two X's) (NOT "SSCX Chaos/League Zone SVS" - that's the old IP and shows 10 players) Double click on the zone name to add it (it will become bold and green). Note: when you add this, you will re-download all the zone level files. http://www.zignotzag.net/images/subspace/misc/zonelist.png 2) Some people still cannot connect to the zone - try this: Go…

Hey Subspace community! Some of you may be aware of Cosmis Rift, a game veryyyy similar to this one, in fact the developers went on to develop cosmic rift and infantry shortly after subspace was released. Why am i posting this? Well Infantry/Cosmic Rift were once very popular games with thousands upon thousands of people playing at once, but the various changes with the game's owners made it hard for players to find us, and the fact that the p2p period 12 years ago scared off our players. Now the whole game is completely community run and completely free, anyone can develop their own game type zones if they wish, but our problem is that we are lacking population...our…

http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/375043/3876-shot0.jpg For Ludum Dare 30 I made a game heavily inspired by Subspace. I used to play a lot of Trench Wars back in the day, and I still have fond memories of participating in Warbird duels. The game's called Irden Core. I've only spent 48 hours on the game so far, but if there's some interest I'd be heavily tempted to continue working on it.
