more flexible settings
by Guest DeathToYou!- 9 replies
- 1k views
until recently, ss was more restrictive in how we can edit the settings for a zone/arena, whatever. Lvz files are a relatively new thing for example. I don't really care for cosmetics much though, and would *love* it if you could change OTHER stuff in ss. Does anybody know if or when the next ss update will offer more flexibility to the rules of ss? This probably won't happen, but just for an example say: being able to change the number of bomb/bullet upgrades, bombs can have a multifire too, bullets with prox. maybe even more ships available. or even more abstract changes, though probably quite impossible, such as: Recharging items (it would be kinda cool if your…

What EXACTLY is mervbot?

The dl where I downloaded it says that it's capable of handling a number of things such as ctf, elim, zombies, I could go on. after setting it up with the readme, I came to wonder a number of things. 1: I want a bounty bot.. nothing more that just makes a bounty rabbit, and sends killing spree style messages 2: will my supposed bounty bot try to offer zombie, elim, whatever games inside my public arena? (that would be disasterous) and: 3: It didn't mention plugins short of that one txt file I had to edit (which contained the bots name, the password, the plugins, and a couple other things), and I can't find any plugins for the bot from the place I downloaded it (ca…

"bot devs" 1 2

I originally wrote this as a reply in another thread, but seems more approriate in a new thread. Since mervbot seems to be used by non-coders to make bots, one of you who know how to program (are there any merv "devs" who do?) should write some kind of bot-wizard that would just generate "bots" (write one or two bots that are very very configurable and then an additional app that generates config's for them)... that would be a much better approach than trying to have people code who don't know the nature of application development (let alone your language of choice). Sorry to rip on merv coders, but it seems like many of them just hack up examples without really un…

fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler intermediate file: 'C:WINDOWSTEMPa45173db': Permission denied Error executing cl.exe. EXPLBot.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) Eh? I have never seen this before. Im in need of a reboot anyway, so could this be related to long use on WinME? And why does it want a temp file? Or is this simply a one-time thing? ALSO and unrelated: Lets say i have a created a numeric datatype. How would i define the operator ++ in that class without creating an internal compiler error?

Here's one that should stir up plenty of smoke! Which type of governments do you all believe to be the best for the people? Now you're gonna get ur die-hard americans who will go "democracy all the way!", when we aren't even a straight democracy, we're a democratic republic. But in my opinion, and I do so happen to be American, I believe a republic is the best suited government to govern for the people as a whole. In a democracy you've got thousands all going after what they want for themselves, not everyone as a whole. Yet with your republic, you have but a few people who are designed to think of the majority, not one individual. Now as with any government a corrupt …

I was thinking that SSC Servers should have a new command; ?squadownlist - Shows every squad you own on that account. SS Servers already own it, it would be really pathetic if they would be ahead of us in the technical progress, wouldn't it?

A few ideas of mine: *shutup # I hate it when silencing people they just relogin. The same could go with *spec but it would be more appropriate with *shutup. Idea's that won't happen: Notepad, in SS! Yes, being able to edit logs and send them thru SS (yeah right) P2P Banner sending: Yes, won't happen either. And another thing: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX ROBO REF IN TRENCH WARS SO IT DOESNT PICK RANDOM THINGS LIKE CLOAKER RACE (which doesn't work) And stop Robo Ref from stealing <ER>'s ads! Thanks, -Dimboy <ER> SSCU Trench Wars Event Referee.

After reading the dialog between Mr. Ekted and Coconut emulator, I have drawn the following conclusions on how we might extend the Continuum client code. I am not a coder however, so please point out any silly flaws in my theory. The only way we can keep the game "secure" is for the client to be programmed closed source. However, extending the code is a breathtakingly slow process which is completely reliant on one Priit Kasesalu as we want to minimize the number of people with the full source. However, would it not be possible to use third party client code in the form of a plugin system if we can validate it serverside? I know it'd be extremely difficult to actual…

is pointless. There are only a handful of real developers who play SS, and most of them do not browse this forum. Since we have no apparent moderation, the threads are either feature requests that fall under - already thought of and discussed by the appropriate people (grel/priitk/ek) - masturbatory fantasy for feature-seekers or amateur programmers or stupid questions that - should be addressed in an FAQ - are asked by people so obviously uninformed as to be a waste of time to answer so ends my brief stint on this board, I urge all of you to find something better to do. -numpf
