For people getting errors (instead of just saying i get an error, in order to help) i need to know: What operating system you are using (vista, windows7, windows8 ) How you were using resizer (what settings were checked, what custom resolution did you choose) The error message (word for word what it says, you can screenshot the message too). When the error happens (examples: when continuum launches, or when you select a resolution, right after you enter a zone, when you enter a ship etc..) Is there anything special/ other modifications to your game client (Continuum 0.39? custom gfx etc., special continuum "Advanced Options") Telling me you get an error is useless to me unless i have that information! Thanks in advance.

Thanks cheese but it turns out the problem was just him misreading his native monitor resolution (1650x1080 vs 1680x1050). I did try to improve resizer though, recommend everyone try the latest version 2.3 (if your hardware supports scaling you may see some improvement).

Hey bargeld, thanks for going through the trouble of grabbing some screenshots. Sadly i have no clue what's up, pretty confused, but would love to talk to you ingame if you pop in.

Bargeld thanks for testing, I had accidentally uploaded a version I was using to test that had mouse aim hard-coded to be always on. New build is up where the mouse aim option in settings actually does something -- go download that. As for fonts, everyone always mentions something about fonts looking weird when they use resizer. That's an effect of the resizing. If you don't resize at all, the fonts won't change at all... so if that's a problem for you make sure you are running at whatever original res you liked your fonts on. Axe, how many people play on a client that isn't continuum 0.40? I think that should answer your question about making a 'quick' version for subspace 1.34/1.35. This works on vista (as confirmed by Bargeld), win7 and win8. You might want to check if you have some malware on your pc or if something corrupted.

Oh i have to add, you need to have left and right as your rotation keys, ctrl and tab as your bullet and bomb keys for mouse aiming and shooting to work. Test it out.

Now everyone can try mouse aim in the latest version (2.2) of continuum resizer. http://www.subspace.co/files/file/28-continuum-resizer/

Just wanted to confirm, that's exactly how it works. Not hard to figure that out, werew even posted pseudocode above. So according to that, yes it does obey the rotation speed set in ship settings.

Werew's got the method down, just used arctan instead of arccos. How would it be received if I released a feature like this in resizer? Might make the game more accessible for new players, but also might break other zones (i don't play EG or TW). Any input??

http://www.twitch.tv/weasalss/b/521018303 Someone was saying there were a ton of cosmic rift players who didn't migrate to ss because of the lack of mouse aim. Tinkered a bit, results linked. Sorry for the choppy vid idk how to stream. [edit: better vid] (also can we get the servers back please)

To clear up some confusion (some people don't know what they're talking about), the game wasn't hacked. Basically someone has been flooding the servers continuum's hosted on with dummy traffic, so much traffic that they aren't able to respond to legitimate traffic from actual players. Having the ability to do this requires some resources (botnet, idk) probably purchased with bitcoin or something somwhere in the deep dark internet. Every single company on the internet would benefit from mitigating DoS attacks since it the effect isn't localized to the target. No one wants to carry dummy traffic on their pipes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack http://blog.cloudflare.com/understanding-and-mitigating-ntp-based-ddos-attacks

Sure hope we get pew pew spaceships back online but this post is hilarious. What are the damages? Who is footing the bill for this "investigation" into a game reverse engineered (basically stolen) made in 1994.... Pretty sure this is a free game. I would love to see the Interpol warrant for some kid in Finland or Korea who hacked this game as a joke. I can't wait to see this on CNN on Monday. LOL. Edit: The host of this games server is not a small company? They won't look on this attack lightly? Do they take racial slurs lightly? How does this reflect on said company's image when people who run leagues tell others to go pick cotton? Yes I'm sure this company will be pursuing legal action and damages to its "image" after this event. Give me a fucking break dude. Ever heard of a scare tactic?

Can I whine about the people whining about whiners? () JK, don't be so sensitive dude and use ?ignore. If people are acting stupid you just ignore them and now they can bother everyone else till they get ignored by them too, then they eventually disappear like 7th mentioned.

Ok so this is not exactly the same as riots idea, but what about `kill confirmed' for 4v4? Basically in Call of Duty, there's a game mode called kill confirmed where after each death there's a token that needs to be collected for the kill to count. If the enemy team collects the token they get points, or if a teammate collects it first they deny the kill. Should be fun? Also riot reps are part of the game so are pb thors, dev basically explained it. There's a risk with using an offensive rep (could be wasted). Pilot's can also use their awareness to avoid those kind of deaths. There's no luck to it, it takes skill to pb thor and offensive rep well.

Riot this is the internet, people are gonna act a fool.

I like this idea too.

hahahaha

If you're going to obsess at least make sure your link works?

fullsubs encourage more players getting some time to play. but the subbing commands are a bit more complicated than they needed to be, which is unfortunate. roster sizes should be reduced in my opinion (10 or 12), I've brought it up a couple times already to be refused. all-star game concept sounds fun but don't think it would work (interest/logistics). thanks for the ideas to discuss candy.

Oh boy. Who could have been so stupid?

http://i.imgur.com/pmSZb4P.jpg Aquitas helped test out multi monitor support. You're looking at three 2560x1440 monitors to give a total resolution of 7680x1440...! But yeah such a large resolution impacts performance. To verify: http://i.imgur.com/skVIMi0.png Updated version with tutorial to come shortly (probably).

K Cheese, I'll keep that in mind for the future, just didn't bother to set up ASSS again after I did a clean install of windows 8. Yes Resol I tinker with continuum, if you look I have a hack posted called Continuum Resizer. There's mem editing and API intercepting involved there. I don't feel guilty, not sure why you think I've made myself look bad.

Yes, it's quite evident to mods if someone has a turret that's mimicking their every movement and shot. So if I had been abusing it, I would be noticed and there would've been consequences already. I think you're missing that this is posted in "development and projects".

I wouldn't go so far to say I was using it, merely demonstrating it. Obviously I could've ran an ASSS server on my own machine and logged into that instead of an empty arena in an actual zone, but why bother to do that?

Hey I just saw your forum post BlueGoku and messaged you in game. I can help troubleshoot there, but I think I ironed out the kinks in the most recent version (July 29th upload) so I don't know if I'll be able to help. It's working great for me on Windows 8. For posterity, this thread is kind of old with the changes. I have a new version in the pipeline that has custom resolutions and works with the chat window.
