Not too unique, I'm currently on an air card after loosing DSL and it works well enough here. Heh been in EVE most of the year since last year, meh not so great there with wireless I found out, so now I'm back here. But anyway, concerning your problem, I had the same problem after reinstalling, constant CTD's, disconnects when gating or docking and failed log-in attempts galore. Try doing a full update on your system, windows update, DX, video drivers, net framework etc. Once I did that, it took care of 99% of the glitching. My system was only a few months out of date, made a big difference.

[quote name='C Del' timestamp='1323984372' post='49895'] I do really like the look of that. It's iffy whether we can offer in-game perks or not though, as it may open us up to IP lawsuits from EA. [/quote] I have that one on my list, but unless they changed their policy, I think they keep the money if you don’t get enough bids to fulfill the full requested amount. Unless I’m mistaken and that was a different site, but there are only four sites that I know of that do this and they all have their fine print. But I think this site kept the money in that case, you would just need to read the fine print if you seriously consider using them for anything. The best know site is http://www.kickstarter.com/ which has a track record of success compared to indigo go, and you can get the partial payoff if you don’t reach the full amount, I'm pretty sure - still best to check if/unless things changed. The other two I know of are not worth mentioning; one being a start-up and the other does not deal with any video game related projects so doesn't draw those contributors. As for rewards, it usually doesn’t matter all that much, I mean not in need of offering anything in-game like stuff. They don’t donate to get great stuff, it’s more about the thought that counts me thinks. Posters, scientific calculators, kids drawing of their dog, whatever, I don’t know. Welcome to the wonderful world of indie funding lol. Btw good that you are finally working towards getting away from those rental servers. Like I’ve said, you will be waaay better off with your own servers, be it at a co-lo datacenter or residence.

huh? you lost me there, dude.

multiple post. check my re in the server thread.

Hmmmm... I was having a prob early this week. It was crashing when I'd dock. 2 of my 3 characters were broken, could no log in with them at all. So I uninstalled and did a seek and destroy on anything EnB related left on my system, everything. Reinstalled updated and problem solved. Don;t know if that'd work for you, but solved my crashing. Also, turned off all my cams when I got back in, just to be on the safe side, apart from the first/main cam (e.g. no docking cam etc.). Docking cam was already off on the character that kept working. *shrugs* Oh yeah, also did a system maintenance before reinstall. Reinstalled and updated DX, updated video drivers etc.

Not really. Well normally it's not. I've never opened the CVS here so I don't know the details of how they implement skills etc (oh and cant since code is restricted from our view now). Normally though it's handled within the scripting system, and so not difficult at all. Trying to recreate something can be more challenging, but recreation is far from my idea or intent. But yeah, I've written over 100 server-side scripts just over the past couple years (more before)many of them for skills, and I'm just saying not as daunting as some may think. Yeah, miners can do more than mine in PvP. Mining being a part of it, but also there are potential related skills that can be brought directly into a battle armada. 'Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more'!

We should retaliate at once Long live the Terran Empire!

Well, I love to model, texture, make detailed environments to render or use in real-time engines etc. Been doing it for many years. No not so easy here with the EnB, but one of the content devs here said some time ago they were making progress with it well enough. Haven't looked into it myself for EnB. Doesn't really need lots of nav points and such. There are already some Earth looking areas in this game. Just need a reference image to get the ball rolling:

Then it was the wrong type of pvp system. EnB "could" have a great system, but not 1 vs 1 biggest gun wins, no. Faction would work well, provided base captures are on a timer. This way as the countdown winds it's way down, it gives people an idea when to amass coop-pvp fleet/s for large battles - those that are flagged for faction pvp albeit. Will it happen here? Doubt it, but eventually they will release server code so another project group could take it up with pvp centric game-play on the front burner. Quite annoying the code is hidden away by the current community dev team from the community players/supporters at this point Diversity is a healthy thing imho.Of course there is much more that can be done. Don't get stuck in a box (i.e. think out of the EA/EnB box). There is more to faction than shooting, and lots of new skills that could be created for it

Just like I remember this emu being like some years ago. Had one area and risked ctd if you ventured too far from the spawn area. Just fly around and chat... that's fly w/o warp:D) Been following MxO emu since live cancellation. Given some time, it'll shape up nicely imo.

Oh dear... too much coffee at the time of my last post heh... thought I read - asking how to find them in the character creator - to show the additional classes. Well, after you install the starship and character creator, the shortcut will be on the desktop Just add the switch into that. Pretty simple really, you've probably edited other shortcut links before btw there is a thread about it in the downloads forum. Too bad there is no -widescreen one hehe Or -aa

Me either, but it's the multi-core issue so chances are I won't be able to until they add single-core support which'll prolly ne-ne-ne-ver happen since it be another f2p project heh But I did get Battlefield 2142 working again, I'm so jazzed Get what ya pay fur

Edit the link where it reads target path by putting this on the end of the line: -noclassrestrictions The shortcut link will be on your desktop.

Oh that's too bad, sorry to hear. I figured it would be a good idea to mention that here since we are playing a fairly retro mmo here with low requirements. Of course the only good mmo is retro these days I really haven't had any good reason to build a multi-core, my 64bit is still serving me well going on 4yo now, plays any mmo and makes me top-quality 3d renders (artsy stuff etc). Don't know why they req multi. From what it looks, the video card should be doing most of the work. In fact it's way better to dump a lot of the work onto the GPU rather than onto the CPU. Ah well.

err or how about a PvP version of the pumpkin chunker? Equip and you are flagged for PvP. Of course it's better to give than to receive

yep, takes time to download and patch. Of course you can stop right there if are not using a multi-core system

mmm well it's an f2p model. Can't think of a single f2p that has been any good... ever. But thanks for the key, had planned on playing around with it a bit. Only thing is... cant read German websites *shrugs* and the key says for UK. lol what's "abs-chicken" Here is the non-EU reg page, which does work for us US users with the key that says EU. http://blackprophecy.gamigo.com/beta/ Prepare to jump through gamico hoops if you haven't linked your game accounts, emails and forum accounts all together in a nice little bow. geez heh

Try the downloads forum here? I know net-7 links work, and guess the demo links work though I use the retail CD's. *tests a link* works..

pumpkin pie chunker

get off it and make your own poll already then. :/

hah yeah, use caution when griefing a dev, those PM's could ruin your whole day. AS for the poll, I simply took the two arguments from the other thread, simple as that. Expect there to be 50 choices and long-winded explanations under every imaginable scenario? It was un-biased in that those were the core positions from that thread. It's about the current mechanics, not clinical psychology and the psychological effects of communal interactions among stereotypical participants...

I just tried to log into another mmo I play, and it was down TOO! Oh the irony, and it's raining harder

addicted = http://websvn.net-7.org/ - Pssst!

Yep, it's my opinion. My opinion is that games where you wind up spending your time camping are games that lack good content. It's tolerable with games that are in development, but once live they should have enough content by way of missions and quests. EnB live was mainly missions for me, which was fine. As an example, I played WoW and ran out of quests and was forced to either grind or do quests from other race areas. EQ is probably the best content driven game, players always know what the goal is when they log in (an important factor when designing games), other than grind camping. Some players like to camp and grind, but really bad games leave you with only that or gaps in the content where you have only that to do for a time. Anyway, anti-camping is a server side system really, it chokes spawn when a player (and/or his multibox minions) stay in one place for too long, or variations of dealing with it.

Ok, someone grab that hamstah and put it back into the server! <--- teh new servers! Raining here, otherwise I'd make a trip to the supermarket. Don't like to drive in the rain though, 30 minute drive to the market from here. Guess I'll get some work done too, but forget cooking dinner at 10 in the morning lol, I have some game models to texture. Yeah and I think first time for server down in ST4, good stuff Hey you know what? he has a point. Server went down last time it rained in CA. Meaybe the hamstah runs off to hide when it starts to rain.
