PoLiX Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 http://forums.station.sony.com/station/posts/list.m?topic_id=11500039174 http://forums.station.sony.com/station/posts/list.m?topic_id=11500039177 Wish these guys good luck in their efforts to become player ran like us. Have had the benefit to talk to a few involved in Free Infantry, and they have a lot of interest in how we do things. Told them we aren't perfect, but many of us have talked and offered them assistance as needed. Could be an interesting relationship... SS and Infantry. Especially being how close our protocols, servers, databases, etc. are. Quote
Dav Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 sounds good. Lets hope something good comes out of this.Of course in the longer term a new/updated client could serve both communities very well. Quote
»gallitin Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Hmm...they are saying they won't release the server code. If there are not any player ran servers maybe some peeps will come back to SS? Quote
flared Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 Good luck to them. I've played a few times and every time I sign on I ask if people have heard of SS and they all say they've played it. Maybe we can get some of them to come back. Hope it works out for them though. Quote
PoLiX Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Posted March 8, 2012 The guys over at Free Infantry have got a server up and running. Quote

a tool Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 what about CR? admittedly, it was pretty awful.. like INF and SS had a baby.. but it was close to "ss2" as you could get. Quote
»Blocks Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 hmm i didn't know catid was helping out infantry. interesting!Similarly, I had no idea that SVS aka HellSpawn is still active after his less-than-graceful exit from our community. Quote
PoLiX Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Posted March 10, 2012 from what I can tell, that Hellspawn != Hellspawn1440 (aka fucker who stole SVS alias from me :\) But yes, Catid is involved. Quote

»jabjabjab Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 We could probably do something with infantry in the future for things inside Aphelion. Aphelion will be open sourced on completion, btw. Also, I have the tools "BLOB EDITOR" and such if you guys ever wanted to modify CR/ Infantry files. Quote
PoLiX Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 They have already taken off pretty well. Been talking with the guys over there from time to time, but they have created a good central leadership and are well ahead of where we were when we got dropped on our faces. So far they are a lot better off than us in many ways. All zones use the same basic settings, they have an open source server, they have no "zone owners" so they rotate the active zones to keep things fresh, the community is playing a huge part in what is decided and done, etc. etc. If they keep it all up, this will truly be interesting to see how well they thrive.

Elru Posted April 18, 2012 Report Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I've been playing both SS and Infantry since 2001. Just haven't played continuum in awhile cause the only zones that actually got me addicted were red star and fusion. Infantry has always been my favorite online game, but the last couple years SOE owned it the population has been pretty bad and it always made me wonder how you guys actually have kept a pretty steady pop over the years especially when Infantry was even on sony's station.com. Anyway glad to hear you guys are encouraging this; both these games kick ass which isn't surprising as they were made by some of the same people. Edited April 18, 2012 by Elru Quote

Just confirming that I've never played SS until a few hours ago.. I still prefer my Infantry though Anyway, thanks for the encouragement everyone.If you're at all interested in our project or just want to chat, we have an IRC channel (#Infantry) located on irc.rabid-duck.net. You can also get in there with our web-applet located here: http://playinfantry.org/mibbit.php I'm also curious if you guys have protocol documentation saved anywhere as this would probably come in handy in various ways.
