Axe Demento

The Game is the Game. Reliance on a Central node of names is weakness You can still play all the SS you want regardless of what other people do to a central location. You can write your own client, biller, directory server, chat client and continue to play SS regardless of what else happens. As far as creating a new email list. Just start doing it now or use a biller that collects the info or use a bot in your zones to ask for email. RE-AXE and carry on ...Axe

wormhole another great t-shirt for my SS merch site ...Axe

Time to chase waterfalls the TLC Zombies are roaming around! But you may need to fight them as a team. it took 4 of us to bring down Left-eye! Shout outs to Tyrant/Fork/Cail All who managed to take out the BOSS bot ....Axe

Thanks for finding out what happened to isometry was trying to get my hands on it as well or at least the code. But lots of stuff on Sharvil site Custom biller is the best way to go. You can add the stuff you want all the more sweet commands etc. Or just take the open source stuff from cats subiller 2. It has some decent stuff in it. You can hack out the SS registry stuff or leave it in. it kinda works with my love of the old SS clients. has anyone gotten any of the other client projects to actually connect and be playable on any of the billers? Fattrolls got any other cool stuff? i'm always looking for more fun SS things ...Axe

Gotten and uploaded to SSDZ KAOS WAR. great job. love the tile set. Now i'll get the game settings just right ...Axe

Heya Kenshin. when you get a chance email me the latest copy of WAR and i'll put it up. I want to train some zombies to fly around it and try and score some goals! Thanks ...Axe

A bit of triva. In the version of that map that has the BattleDrome Letters. Jolly roger added it for me. it was my 2 man enters one man leaves nod to Mad Max Across the Thunderdome. I have a few copies of those maps as well. ...Axe

you had me at..... bots ...Axe

If you're playing on a mac. I believe many of the billers will auto ban you as your id comes up as 0. I'm sure psy will check it out for ya. ...Axe

In the SSDZ you can advertise any and all zone I think that players should move freely any where they choose and also help each other find games they like. But in saying that, one must remember where ever you go there is a culture and rule set. Never be surprised when it is enforced. For example in our zones we don't like the spec so you get put in a ship and usually a safezone. I think both of you are doing a great job helping your players play. I'll make sure i pass on the alternative zone info to anyone that asks. I see that i had people looking for trench wars & Chaos while i was out. I'll add it to my news text. Do we need to make some more directory servers? I haven't fully investigated this part of the game relationship yet. Who runs the main directory servers these days? ...Axe

See what this proves in both the attack and the defence and recovery is that the game is worth the time of the people that enjoy it and hate it. When i have my Subspace merch site up i'll add the i remember concept of the attack date To everyone helping out! thanks for all your efforts! I will in a few login my SSC account to park in chaos hopefully i find it in good shape when i do. Sushi, Captain America and Terria beckon me! ...Axe

Thanks for for coming in and having some fun! 1. This map the Kaos.lvl is my personal map that takes elements of the vie maps and other maps that i have liked and new stuff. Part of its goals is to be confusing as sometimes you have to search for your enemy. Tho each part has some purpose and lots of tunnel fighting as well. As far as my main zombie map it will be set up like a city/town. With a central square and buildings you can hide in. Tho it will have safezones that are really short. 10seconds. That way you could hide with them for only a moment if you are surround and if you run out of town you get dropped which in that zone will be like dying. If you are stuck in a part of the map with low bounty you can always take a chance and just hit the insert 2. Bots get stuck. That depending on settings. I can cause that to stop but at the moment it is by design it shows a paused position for them. Also i have methods for stopping them going to close to a wall etc. These particular bots are just set in basic patterns for some spark and a bit of introduction to how they can be. Depending on the Game Type i can have them do tons of stuff. 3. I will currently i am working on a stack of things to allow the ZOMBees to react to what there environment is who is in the area. What their inventory is like. Even pixel colours on the screen. 4. Yes i will make those type of games but they will be for ZOMBee Land. The standard KAOS is going to be a straight ahead chaos fighting zone. As i will have a points system that covers all our zones look for that sort of fun in the future. 5. For the most part i don't like changing the basic game that much. But i could create a Zombie Lvz for doing this type of mod. Also even having something along the lines of how many brains you have left and have the zombies want to kill the player with the biggest brains. ie your number of lifes grows if you kill another player. This would mean you could kill another human just to live longer. But i enjoy having racking info etc. The other thing i would do is have the zone start with say 80 Zombots/Zombees/Zombies and have the game start at a certain time. That way if you wanted to kill the most zombies you would have to log in at the start of the game. But i love designing games for people to enjoy and your coming up with great idea keep them coming. 6. Yes a bot to hunt can be lots of fun. I could a zone announcement showing its energy fairly easily the other quick way to get the same effect would just be to allow everyone to see energy. That way you would know what players were weak and how much energy the zombees/Zombots/Zombies have. As far a cool energy bar that would be dependent on what i can do with the visual lvz files. I think at first though the stuff on the lvz you only get to see in reference to yourself. If someone has created a energy bar for players let me know. The Bots in the zones are from all corners of SS. I will refer to them as ZOMBies. They are fake players that act like a ship/player. But they are not a player everything they do is a result of like a call and answer to make it look like it is really playing. The key bots i use are modified Merv Bots my favorite one being the Bjorn Bot. The base of this bot was from a player named Catid. you can search him up and his merv info his site is still around. I also have Zombots. These are fake players that do something in the zone help run a game announce combo kills etc. I even have a Zombot that relays messages to twitter,facebook and irc. Zombots don't take damage. Some of them are known as one battle bot the base of the bot is from usr (i will correct the name when i review this) and the advances to it are done by PSYops look for more boss bots from him and check out SSZ and also www.subspacezone.com another great place for SS info. The final part of things in the zones are ZOMBees™ these are regular Clients that are being controlled by scripts other programs that reference files that are being created. The weakest ones will just run patterns. The strongest ones will start to hunt you. The benefit of the ZOMBees is that they will react perfectly to the game. They can pick up flags and will respond to reps etc. eventually i may supply an interface that allows you to run these on machines to help add more ZOMBEES to the game. What i would ideally like to do is have the ability to go from zone to zone without having to log in and out. with ?sendto etc. I have to first find out how they did this in chaos/other zones. For this i don't mind either working on a custom biller that would allow it. As i don't mind using any version of SS i'm not limited by the strong security in continuum. the benifit of this is you could get a gaming stage feel from flying around needing to go to different zones to continue your quest. This would allow you alot of freedom in game settings. But each product in its time. My general gaming goals are 1. a points system that runs through all my zones. This way no matter what zone you played the points translate into a cool overall points system. 2.a econmy in which you can convert points into zone currency. then with zone currency you can change aspects of the game ie add a map change a map etc 3 To always have SVS sets and Ships as a base but the ability to move up from there. I will soon have a zone that will use my unlimited settings. You start at 0 bounty but you can continue to green your ship up to max settings. That way if you see a ship at 10,000 bounty it will be able to warp speed round the map and have a crazy energy level. 4.To share having fun and help new players learn how to design and make games. I have been happy to have a fair amount of kids play this game and they often take to it. For this purpose if kids are playing i ask that players make sure they watch their Language. I'll see about checking with hallu to see if i can get a copy of his obscene.txt just to help this along. 5.To work with like minded people just to enjoy a great game and fork your attitude is just what I'm looking for. I'll take 1 fun player over 100 chumps any day. The key is have fun! and Play more SS ...Axe

Nice job. If u can't get it up any where I would be glad to host it. As I will change maps often. So for me the only need would be a way to fly outside the box as I hate any spot on a map I can't get to. Or map the surrounding area solid tiles so there is no chance of getting there. What would u do on the map? Old school no flags? Power flag or chaos flag I love seeing people make maps! The old client is great for flying a map solo for testing. I only at first made a zone so I could test my maps out. Have a great night! And may all your dreams be green. ...axes iPhone

Heh heh glad you guys are having fun. Soon I will have lots more fun behaviors. They are soon going to self reference depending who is in the zone and where they are in the zone. Getting back from the cottage soon! Also hit a maple syrup festival and the syrup flowed free! As I seem to be getting roaming charges as I'm near the border I shall send this one about out! ...axes iphone

As mentioned in the other forum as i've now had a stack of emails and requests from people that i would enjoy having in any of the zones. I've dropped the time restriction on the SSDZ KAOS Axe Demento SVS and dropped the zones with time restrictions on it. While the SSC is down after they are back. Restricted zones will return. So Pryde, GC6 and others you are now welcome to move past my velvet ropes. and cheese you are still welcome to fight 2pacZ but he wont' be back till next week. and what you don't correct anyone else's spelling? your you're not doing youRRs job! ...Axe (thats what she said)

Okay for this Week while SSC is down i'll lift the time restrictions on all the zones that are up. I'll take down the others that have hour limits. Thanks for the emails and the hellos. SSDZ KAOS Axe Demento SVS is now open. Feel free to login but i'm only interested in people having fun and playing some SS! There will be some ZomBEEs ™ and some Zombies! and some ZOMbots! and i'm sure some players will stop by. I"ll be playing later in the day probably around 11:30pm till late. As its maple syrup festival time here in the north! and Axe Demento gots to get his pancakes n bacon on! ...Axe

you know i just linked to this article that said continuum under attack by cheese ...Axe Well hallu at least you get a break monitoring the zone for a bit? is this your longest break in the years since your return?

Arry is a good guy If its the same guy he joined my squad in chaos. You should as a new player to the SSDZ be able to join. Any zone but PRIME Parking and 500hours Club. Lots of people are having fun helping design game types right now. Plus maps! Those who have been given the nod are in there zone they need to be in. I appreciate the interest and of course ...Play more SS ...Axe Wasn't this forum about Cheese! fighting 2PacZ

Well 1. the zone appears to be down and 2 i was champ for 2 years i think i've done my time. You will see me stop in from time to time and i'll leave a ship parked in chaos0axe got to keep those SSC hours growing no spec tho. 24hour safe. ...Axe SSDZ KAOS Axe Demento SVS

Well confess your welcome to play in the SSDZ I hope you sorted out what you needed to! ...Axe

Zone wasn't down but i mainly use the ssdir.playsubspace.com so if you don't have it on your directory downloads it fades out. I'll also set up my own directory server soon enough just make sure you can find me and i got hit with a IP change for some reason as usually i keep em for years Tho i think something was also messing with the directory servers during the attack phase as i had my lan machines lose connection to the directory servers and i'm always monitoring. Have to make sure bell isn't messing with me. (unlimited internet biatachs heheh wereW i have lots of people showing up and all are welcome I'm only here for fun! as batman says tell all your friends about me.... unless those friends are chumps then don't let them know but i thank you for caring ...Axe

Try the Other Version the 2.0 Make sure your running continuum from the directory not just the short cut on desktop. Try running subspace 1.35 or installing anything else? I just installed a copy of Continuum and SS on a windows ME that couldn't use windows installer. I can toss you the files unzipped if you want. This machine also only had one usb port tho i have another laptop with windows 1995 that didn't even have one! ...Axe SSDZ KAOS Axe Demento SVS

heheheheheheheheeh Best comment of the day. ...Axe just going through the classic bong.wavs and putting new ones together for the SSDZ. all standard ones remain but filling up the spaces in between is so much fun.

As shaggy said it wasn't me!! Glad to see the last kill of CHOAS was a renegade!! WOOO tazzy! ...Axe

Had some people having a trouble with connection earlier those that made it in great to see you! To those that were having packloss problems next time i'll vip you up so you can fly around. Some of the zones i have to set up to allow high packlosss. Plus i made the mistake of compiling a stack of things on the server computer and running far to many things while i was out. The CPU was maxed out at 100% so i'm sure that didn't help Cruising at a gentle 22% now so have some fun. Enjoy playing through the night! I hope that the SSC is back online but SSDZ will be up all night like the 90s and Elvira. ...Axe
