Couldn't it ask for a username and password? And perhaps check if the username is in use already by coding some half-!@#$%^&*ed client with the installer that would just attempt to connect.

lol... can't say it never happened.. When I come back from a party or something, I rarely go directly to bed, so I just roam the internets some.

right... in the past, DCME ended with a 'End' statement, which resulted in Vista users getting some Crash report thing. Some forms were not unloaded correctly, so I added a check when closing, to be sure that every form is unloaded. If any form is still loaded, it reports it. For now, ignore... We'll test and fix the memory management errors that cause the problem. By size and step, you mean like there's no text on the sliders? Yeah I think I saw that too... didn't understand why was that. For the generate walltiles, Aquarius will send me a video showing a full procedure to create a walltile set, with the shading and all. We should be able to improve it then

heh... Flabby should make a clear 'What is The Continuum Project' pinned/close topic

Ball physics formula? That shouldnt be too hard to figure out. The only thing to figure out is the friction no? Possible to figure it out with a single throw with some maths.

I guess you'd win when you nuked the crap out of other factions. Then a new round would start and every faction would start at 0 again. People in dead factions early in the game could be re-!@#$%^&*igned to the remaining factions... making the game more intense over time. Either that, or some way to make it continuous... dunno

Food doesn't really absord the alcohol... it just delays when it gets in the blood. Edit: Just found this: http://www.med.unc.edu/alcohol/prevention/quiz/quiz10.html#9 Oh well, it does absorb it... but it's not like if the alcohol vanishes, it will end up in the system anyway, just later. Yes, these factors affect how much your body reacts to alcohol. But an interesting difference to note is that the only thing affecting your blood alcohol concentration is weight (or more specifically, the amount of blood you have). So, some people can feel very drunk at 0.08g/dl, while others are not affected at all. That's why drink&drive is simply a bad idea, even if you "don't feel drunk", you could still find yourself in jail

Wow, didn't know that... we definitly just need a more friendly installer I guess.I'm with you doc! And I'm sure Polix will support that too... And then the SSDL file can be changed (or a new file added, and getcontinuum.com linked to it, whatever) I have no idea how to do something like that, but perhaps if you make it open-sourced, or release the source once you're done, other people will be able to improve stuff, and keep things up to date (zones list, for example)

Send me that tileset... it has Compression bit to 1. How do you make bitmaps with compression anyway? The 'warning' thing is because after it loaded the tileset, the 'cursor' isn't where it expected to be in the file. So it tries to load the tiles from there anyway, and if it gets errors, it will try again starting from another place. But yeah, "normally" it shouldn't need to do that. It did start to load tile data from the correct place, though, so that's not exactly the problem here. test.lvl @ SaveMap, BMPData is stored into lvl, starting tile data at 42817 [.......] test.lvl @ OpenMap, tile data starting at 42817 But the thing is as soon as it loaded the tileset, it was already beyond the whole eLVL data. Anyway, just send me that tileset, I'll test it out

GS did change the available port on the server. I didn't just change that on my own... Anyway, MTN is now aware of the issue and will contact GS himself...

hmmm, right. Insurance? Maintenance? Gas? Parking? Gadgets? Add all that up and see how much your car really costs you...

Alright... MTN is aware of the issue and will contact GS himself to get this fixed...

Topic was closed by Drake I moved it here and reopenned it... So... it started from drinking, now we're talking about flying asians? cool...

As far as I know, no. MikeTheNose probably can access it somehow, though... This is Trench Wars server we're talking about, Priitk probably limits the access as much as possible, for obvious security reasons

Actually this was the issue indeed - the servers included as defaults with the contiuum download were all dead, the ones you supplied worked fine... but see I think that is a problem for anyone new that might want to check out a game. Chances are they would have no idea where to turn or wouldn't care to take the time to look it up. All they know is they downloaded it and it didn't work. I am guessing the majority of the people delete it and move on. In any event, thanks very much for that info... I do remember how fun the game was, so was worth the extra effort. Thanks again, Aperio I think there are some installers that configure the right directory servers... They should definitly be more visible.

The problem is we Ghost set the port, I changed the Misc:Port, but didn't change the Billing:ServerId... so apparently that's why it doesn't work. Atleast that's what GS thought it was. But then my Internet went crazy and we lost contact... True... but it's just some people who have this problem. If it was just a few people, I wouldn't care that much, but since freakmonger's server couldn't get them to connect either, it was a problem for me . And I kind of hope that the port is actually the problem... if it's not, well... we're still screwed . But how else could someone be able to connect to Trench Wars, but not to 17th Parallel?

Yes, but it doesn't work Tried connecting to it?

Read 17th forum We screwed up in the process... and after 20 minutes of me lagging so much that I couldn't connect, GS went afk

We are trying to get 17th on a new port to fix the problem that some people (including the bots from our bot host) cannot get in 17th Parallel. However, something kind of screwed up in the process and I can't do anything anymore. No one can connect The issue should be resolved shortly.

!@#$%^&*... getting huge lag... and can't get in 17th. took me 10 minutes just to get the zone list. And now I can't get in to say anything to GS... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR edit: ok.. the lag "spike" is finally over...

I don't think we need more than 8 different ships... I started a list of ships that could be used, and didn't even reach 8

What is it anyway?
