How about you !@#$%^&* off, Dark_Nexus?

Please only post when you have something usefull to say. For everyone spamming this is your first unofficial warning.

You can't send a PM without subject text.

You can decide such things, Trip? Anyhow, I can't be online on the 30th

That's definately a database problem, Polix might be able to fix it. (I can't)

Where is that (link) ?

In addition to SOS's post: Write down what works and what doesn't for you and try alot of things out. Running the game at the same resolution as Windows is usually the best option. Also make sure the refresh rate is higher then 60 Hz.

Yea, exactly but not for the last part. A client pings a server each to see if it's up and to get it's population. The subgame server returns its population if it's up.

hm nice, but still too busy for my likings

Witchie, it's only 2-sided but please shut up. It's probably possible to code a custom directory server that receives the data from the subgame server in the way Smong mentioned? Only downside is that the directory server address must be in the address list of the subgame server. Are you planning on making a directory server, Polix?

Never run the client via the Run As... option! This will give you all sorts of problems and isn't the right mode to run the game in. Just try to solve the original problem that you get when you start the program like normal. (Try turning off active anti-virus/anti-adware/etc software. Make sure you are Adminstrator at the computer.)

Moving from The Lounge to Development (with a link for people to find it)

Yay welcome back home, Swift

Done

Doesn't matter, d1st0rt Yea I'm going to do that instead of the forum, Smong

Yea now you mention it Smong.. I believe Catid had such plugins. Check catid's site out, Gibbit.

I'm afraid that as long as the database is down the files can't be served. I don't have a guessing game plugin and I believe you can't find it anywhere.

I don't see the difference, d1st0rt

Please don't bump such an old topic. The downloads stopped working because of database problems explained here.

it's "Press any key to continue"

First make sure the checkbox View / Advanced Options / Show Default Resolutions is unchecked. Continuum uses the resolution settings from Windows. So if you want to force Continuum to run in a higher resolution you have to force Windows to show other resolutions. You can do this by doing the following: Go to Display Properties (Right Click on desktop or Control Panel) / Settings tab / Advanced button / Monitor tab / Uncheck the checkbox 'Hide modes that this monitor cannot display'. WARNING: Manually forcing the resolution of your monitor (higher then its set maximum) can give unexpected results or problems if not damage it. This is at your own risk. Let me know if this fixes your problem.

That's a good idea, Syrus, maybe I will just do that instead. Agreed SOS but I think it's important to reflect the information here (where people are looking for it now).

You can't really compare it to a search because with a search you only search for specific keywords. The contents of the forum would only be composed of topics that has some value (attachments or important information) instead of the basic development questions. Examples would be the 3D Ship models topic, the RTF format of news.txt, etc. These topics you actually want to be pinned forever but that's not doable.

Hi, Problem: Alot of worthwhile topics in Development forum are lost in the long list of pages with topics. You really want to keep them preserved by stickying them all but that's undoable. Proposal: Make a new forum under Development, something like an archive or like "Usefull Development topics" where we can move the topics to so it gets easier to look them up and monitor them. Just a proposal, let me know what you people think about this.
