We have a server!

Our sincere thanks to Clockwork for the use of his rented space for this project!

For now I have renamed the server to Testbed Server.

We've moving now fellas, next on my list is to get classic accounts enabled.
Don't expect any ironic timing posts on this one, it will probably take a while.

Where did Wartime (Aeko's playerworld) go ? x_x

That's what I was thinking.

I got a job that will take all day, 6 days a week, and no one was really working on wartime do to lack of a NAT capable of working on the 2 bigger projects we needed.. :P

Anyways, I have another server, I can just upload my backup there and continue to work on it a little everyday. :p

Tell us the name please =D

Lol, Land of the swine.

It's yours o_O ? I didn't know.

Uhm, Caleb/Mursle owns that server.. :o

How are you going to manage to get every person who logs onto that server RC access anyway?

I've been working setting up the systems to control the test server, once the core scripting is set up it should be ready to add people. Right now it supports protecting default filenames from being uploaded on to the server (like sprites.png, etc) and is almost ready to support NC-Weapon protection (so people can't add your personal NPCs to themselves).

Assuming everything goes well today, between GK and this server (at the moment) it should be about ready by this evening.

At first you will have to simply submit an application by logging on to the server and filling it out on client (would just desired IP range and any special instructions you have for the directors, not like you'll be disapproved). Once you submit the application it will automatically email it to the 'directors' of the server who will add your RC and rights.

If all goes well with this server the ultimate goal is that it will have a custom GServer with which anyone can log in to RC automatically. We're going to try it this way first to see if it goes over well.

Nobody will be denied access to the server based on their past or present behavior unless they break a rule on the server (finding some bug to massively delete other people's content, for example).

How many weapons, classes, and NPCs would each person get?

Also, is there any way to prevent weapons/classes/npcs that don't belong to you from showing up in RC, or would that require an update of the RC client?

What's the protocol going to be for when someone makes a script that automatically lags the npc-server to hell every time it's created?
Regardless of whether it was accidental.

At the moment everyone will get as many classes, weapons, and DB NPCs as they wish. I was thinking about that last night. It's not currently possible but hopefully it will be possible if this idea takes off and we can get that customized GServer/NPC-Server we're gunning for.

All things will be dealt with based on the situation. I don't want to give any of that sort of information for server security purposes.

Everyone will get their own folder for heads, bodies, images, sounds, etc. So this isn't just for scripters. This is for improving the whole development pool.

Such a great idea then, hope it will succeed !

Great to see this happening, I'll help in any way I can.
