SVS? Yawn. These days zones with graphics and themes > SVS easily $ (except powerball:) Julius, if you need anything, i'm a busy man/boy, but I am heres:D

craigg, the auto goalies in Worms hockey arena are a combination of .lvz and doors, when I was working on my arcade donkey kong arena I planned to have something very very similar to this.. He just places the door tiles there and when the "auto goalies" are enabled they alternate maybe every 70 ms, which is enough time for the goalie to move wit the .lvz to make it look as if it is actually stopping the balls:) I think you know that already though.. oh well:/

lol, not to interupt or be rude Aileron, but could you possibly start another thread rather than continuing your Matrix in here? Doesn't have much of anything to do with this thread, but ti does deal with the forum.. I don't know.. I hate when mods and people with authority are too tight on public chat and stuff, but then again it doesnt really fit in this thread..=/

SSA might have some room, also I believe Mediator/Heroin B0B is getting a box/server from his brother (who happens to be a webhost), so you could probably get hosting from them.. Im trying to convince Med into making SS's first ASSS ran Hosting network, and he agrees. That = l33t. I don't believe they have websites, just contact Death+ or Mediator (In CS, where else?

Zhou, a Hosting Network would be either a Zone Hosting, Biller Hosting, or both.. Networks have boxes/dedicated servers/etc, so you don't have any lag. Say you hosted your zone on your computer on your internet connection, with Subgame2.. It would lag like crazy, and it wouldn't run 24/7. The host doesn't effect your ownership very much.. I'd say it depends on the host maybe. I have never had complete control (been an owner) on a network, but I assume they give you a high level of BanG, Sysop, and a FTP account to access your zone on the server. But I dont know.. Just try to get a host if possible

I've never had to have a 2nd public arena lol.. Let's see.. Ugh, it looks good to me, wtf is wrong=/ Possibly ArenaMinimumPlayers? 0 seems right, but maybe it needs to be 1.. I dont know if thatd do anything, it seems like it would prevent you from getting a 2nd pub.. We'll have to wait for Akai or madhaha or Ekted or someone l33ter than I to reply..

NO! Do not advertise your zone in other zones!! It is bad manner and unrespectful, and in most cases, cheating. You can possibly get netbanned from the network if you do so also.. Getting players into your zone is the most difficult part of making a zone.. You could go through all that work and slave for hours and what not, and end up having no population at all. I know plenty of great zones that don't seem to get any players. Here's my suggestions; 1. Get on a network. - if you haven't already, try to get zone hosting from a zone hosting network, like SSI. Aim for SSC if you think your zone is beyond elite, but don't expect SSC. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE YOUR OWN! Lol, it's funny when people have zones like "SSIEW Blah Blah", it doesn't work=/ just get a network. 2. Get Staff - even if they are just temporary, for population, lol.. As SOS said, you may have to use dirty tricks. Players are always desperate looking to be a mod or smod or whatever, most of them might not be that great, but some deserve a try, and may become great staff. The others, well.. just axe them=/ Staff wil try to be in the zone whenever, to appeal to you and gain respect and popularity from the players:) Just make sure they don't abuse or they may scare away population. 3. Bots - yet again, a dirty trick, but starting early, nearly anything can work and is required to get a decent population. I am not saying, run 10 of them in a private arena, but rather, place a bot for a simple thing that not only adds a tiny bit to the population, but serves as an extra aid/fun tool for the zone. Example: an elim bot in ?go elim, or even better, a bot running Bounty Rabbit in pub. 4. Word of Mouth - ahh, word of mouth is very useful. Tell squadmates, players in chat, friends, whatever. If it appeals fun to them, they will probably stop by and check it out. 5. Fanware - couldn't think of a better name=/ Anyways, when I say this I just mean, try to get a post on SubspaceHQ.net saying there's a new zone in town, or post on SSF (where we are now;), or MineGOBoom's forum (if he has one for advertising), and other fan sites.. Maybe zone forums or zone websites like TrenchWar's forum (flowing with posts, I know that much). But don't make sure you look like you are trying to steal population or anything! 6. Keep the players in your zone, in your zone! - when people enter your zone, try to strike a conversation or get in some seroius dogfights, anything, to try to make them enjoy the zone, or even provide an extra digit on the player count on the zone lists.. People join zones with people. Seen Trench War's player count? I bet you 50% of new players checkout TW and EG before any other zone, simply because they have more players.. More players = more popular = better zone. =/ It's tough but thats the way it works.. As madhaha said, look at the SSOS section! Best of luck to your new zone. Carry on soldier:)

Sounds pretty weird.. Maybe you have an older version of Subgame? =/

talking about SSN NBA Jam?=/

Hmm, yes, a lot of people were having this problem.. I believe it is a result from the biller, because such biller commands as ?find and ?chat were lagged incedibly.. I found that the only zone I attempted to enter, I could, but it just took me awhile waiting to enter. As splody and SOS said, try again later:)

I don't think Arnold should win=/ I mean I am sure he is seroius about it and what not.. But there shud be an unofficial rule that you cannot be known as something else before doing it;p Sounds lame but I mean, its gay when someone votes for popularity, and this could happen with arnold. I also think the same way about a black man running for president. It would somewhat seem racist not to vote for him, and he could possibly win just because he is black and would be the first black president. I am not racist too, so dont go there.. HOWEVER.. Real politicians know better, so the populace vote doesn't always win, yay, so we dont get idiots for our government. *where'd Nixon come from? *

Anyone else notice that some settings and stuff changes when its on ASSS instead of Subgame? Anyways, ASSS is incredibly incredible. I think it's best used for Developping zones.. I run it on Windows!

hARHARHARHAR I R TEH L33T I = NUKE UR CMPOM + I R TEH PINGZ0R J00~!11! R0X0R~!111

Maybe its cuz your name has Ascii characters..

P2P ruins the economy;p But I really would hate if they banned it, lol im a loser and my mom wouldn't let me buy the CDs I buy, and they are expensive too, thus, I downlaod off KLite.

Nah, don't like the idea much.. Shields is an element of surprise and someone would without a doubt run or stall you until you are down, I am 99% sure someone who had brains would. =/

Agreed, 1280 2 win! I don't know if I could locate my ship if I had 1600;p

I hate typing things in, for those lazy such as myself; www.MERVBot.com. My opinion on this matter- interesting.. not sure why you had to go and register the domain name;p seems like a waste of cash. You guys already have SSCentral, SSCouncil, etc etc.

Hmm, well as Akai and Ekted said, and I totally agree, every setting should have its independent factors. Such as editing your thor and its speed and prox (i havent messed with thor sets for a while, so dont quote me if you arent already able to edit that), or editing other stuffs=( Adding in weapons would be incredibly interesting and help on the role to making the first full-blown RPG on Subspace..

But they could slow FPS if you had a ton of them, couldn't it?

I think adding ability to edit the bomb levels and make them all different or independent, could be a nice feature in the next release(s) of continuum. When I say this I mean that at the moment, you set a Bomb Default that's used by L1, and L2 and L3 have the same base but higher.. If you allowed editing each of them it could help a ton, such as in war games where you'd like one bomb to be a slow missle, and the next a fast one. Or precision on bomb levels (L1 does 100 damage, L2 does 30, L3 does 600), or even on bomb thrust. I'd like to see this in the future:)

We had a similar problem in CS back when we were on SSC and getting very big.. I believe all we did was just make all staff go into the 2nd arena so it would appeal more to the players=/ Anyways, I don't quite know how to solve this problem:( I think ASSS might be able to fix your problem, I don't use ASSS because I run Windows and also it's got some weird commands that I don't like, but last I heard, it had some sorta feature for Public Arenas or something or another..

1. This thread belongs in a different forum, maybe if my name was under Zone Development moderators as it used to be, I could move topic?;p 2. Banned until 2029.. That's one -*BAD WORD*- of a ban. It must have been a lvl 1 BanG Op else a Head of EG who banned you.. Pick up sticks 3. The ban doesn't make any sense because you said you haven't played before, so you must have a Free ISP and it gave you one that was banned from EG (unlucky maybe? It isnt a static one or whatever, so I believe maybe even the next time u connect to your internet, you should have a different IP.. 4. If you aren't netbanned (meaning you can log into Hockey Zone, or TW, or Powerball, or another zone on the SSC biller), then you should contact someone in charge of EG (as Ekted said, contact Pointman). Shut the door 5. Yes, I believe every zone now requires .39pr1.. But I don't know. When I tried entering two different zones at first, it told me I needed it, so I figured it was a Continuum-wide update, and not just a zone-wide. http://66.197.122.29/sshq/Continuum039pr1.zip - Mirror 1 http://66.197.72.137/sshq/Continuum039pr1.zip - Mirror 2 6.

Hmm, DeadlySoldier u didnt say "source code", u said "source", therefore, you may not quote yourself.
