Sumpson Guy Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 give all zones SSC billing.. -*BAD WORD*-s.. that's all thanks for replying.
Trained Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Then it would be all -*BAD WORD*-, every single zone that someone went in they would get a message like (Guy)>COME TO MY ZONE SSFT GAY ZONE! Would you like that? I know I wouldnt.. Im sure theyre's plenty of reasons all zones dont have ssc, plus how would you feel about making a new port everyday for a certain zone? I wouldnt like it
Yupa Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 it'd be enough to just allow respectable hosts to give SSC billing to all of their zones basically at this point, it'd just allow for all SSI zones to have SSC billing that'd be nice
SVS Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 No offense but not all of SSI zones should have it.
Yupa Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 no offense, but not all of the zones that ALREADY have it should have it
LiveForce Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 yes, -*BAD WORD*-, give me SSCAfter talking to many people, leaving many messages, emailing several times, talking on ICQ and much more, SSC billing for SSL has got absolutely NOWHERE.Despite having three hours downtime in 5 months, 93 population max, and not a single complaint about the service. Oh well, such is life... I agree that SSC billing for all SSI zones is a good idea, but then again i'm biased.
Paxil Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 it'd be enough to just allow respectable hosts to give SSC billing to all of their zones Yup.
SVS Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Err, I have heard a lot of complaints about your hosting. You not being around to admin the server is a big one, or another might be how you make it a pain for zones you host to move to a different host by not furnishing their files. I would rather have DM hosting SSC zones then you.
»Platinum-Halo Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 I'd rather just keep it how it is with it being invite only and guess what it will stay that way until PriitK sees it necessary to-do it another way. Now let's all quit -*BAD WORD*-ing about SSC not letting every god forsaken new zone that pops up out of the middle of nowhere and thinks that they are all that. The ability to connect to the SSC Billing database will remain invite ONLY.-Plat
LiveForce Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Plat, I would have to agree, i'm just biased due to problems with getting it in the past
mister manners Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 um... *szone but i do like the whole biller thing, however those who rulled the biller and if u piss them off u get i forget but like ?netben person 99999999 Everyone understand that all right? 1 Biller is a good idea. there would still be zone bans and mabe arena and pub bans integrated... think about it. I hate madhaha
mister manners Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 whatever akai says, im with him on that
LiveForce Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 having said that, the organisation of this game makes me pretty mad too; if I don't get a REPLY soon from Priit, I may stop hosting zones altogether. I realise he's busy, but courtesy is something different entirely.......
Manual Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 From what I've heard SSL isnt a great host by not being around to answer questions and not giving FTP, yeah i heard it from one of the biggest zones on SSL
SVS Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 I would pull Metal Gear CTF off of SSC billing if SSC billing were operated any differently then it is now, I am sure most of SSCX would follow suit. As it is we have way to many zones on it that should not be on it.
pixelsoft Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Why the -*BAD WORD*- do you need a FTP-Server to get a Zone hosted, Manual?
candygirl Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 FTP is good to have. Some zones lvz are so big that sending them by *putfile will take to long.
shazbot Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 I would pull Metal Gear CTF off of SSC billing if SSC billing were operated any differently then it is now, I am sure most of SSCX would follow suit. As it is we have way to many zones on it that should not be on it.then again that descision wouldn't be up to you in the first place...
LiveForce Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 I don't see any point in giving zones FTP to their folders. As far as i'm concerned, just upload it or send it to me and i'll get it up asap.As for not being online to restart zones, yes, that has happened once or twice, due to the server's auto-restart not working correctly. I'm working on process server access for all zones on the server to negate that problem.To be quite honest, I don't really have the time to run SSL, but what I do do i see as being a FAR more reliable service than that offered by NTC at the moment. -also, FTP has been using as much as double the bandwidth of the actual server, and it has been abused in the past-
Jason Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 Patience is the key. Eventually PriitK will go the way of JeffP, at which point he -*BAD WORD*- well better hand over the source of the client to someone willing to continue its development. Whoever the lucky fellow is (I nominate Grelminar personally.) can then open source it. We'll ditch SubGame. ASSS will become a standard across all zones. And then we can use whatever biller we want and make that standardized as well. Yeah, I just painted a picture of a utopian dream... but it could happen. =p
»1587200 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 A very long shot, but yah, I guess it COULD happen. Weather it actually would or not is another question. Too many people want "power" in this game, so having the code go open source would just give more people more "power" than they really need, and it would be abused to the point where it would drive all the players out. I personally don't have a problem with the way things are setup now. I can log in, play, have fun, that's all that matters. If it ain't broke don't fix it. As for the biller, it would be nice of the central biller was actually central, but I don't see that happening. The invite method works fine, and it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. SSC billing is more of a priv. than a right, and I don't have a problem with the way it is setup, then again, I don't run a zone nor host zones, so that opinion is coming from the view point of a player.
Jason Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 You don't exactly have to go wide open source. At least we could have a dev team of half a dozen highly trusted invidivuals or so. It would be so much better for the continuing advancement of the game.
