KCW test server!
« on: October 12, 2004, 10:10:21 pm »
While we wait to get started on the real server, I figured we might as well take this opportunity to work out any kinks in the map or files now. (And get a little practice and fun in too!) Just let me know if I'm stepping on any toes folks, but I figure this can't hurt and just might keep these reprobates from wreaking havok in mainstream society in the meantime... (myself included)  ;D

Installer here. Webmap here.

I'll do my best to keep tabs on the server but I work nine to five... (drb has access to reboot the server if he's around).

Hoi Bonk,

I'll keep an eye on the server during the day.


Take care

Thanks man.

A few things I've noticed so far (so I don't forget):
1) some news spam on four cartels (map edit needed).
2) some strings missing (near end of shipnames.txt file). - fixed, installer updated.

Hmmm seem to have found an issue, I get ISC (Kinshaya) AI in Imperial space (Mirak) so if I lose a mission there the DV goes down. This is with mandatories off and movement 3. I think I need to adjust the political tensions... edit: nope that didn't do it... I think I'll add a couple bases and pump up the economy of the Imperials to see if that helps. edit: yup, it seems adding two battle stations did the trick, getting Imperial AI now but now I realise I need to edit the Imperials (Mirak) in the shipmnames.txt too lol. I'll look at adjusting the placement of Imperial bases and the shipnames.txt file tonight... otherwise looks good for now...

Thanks, Bonk! 

It will be Monday before I can spend any time on the server, but if it is still up I will certainly spend time there then.

Got on as Koloth_Kinshaya, ISC interface...

In-mission briefings are still 100% ISC text... (stuff about pacification and resisting the might of the ISC navy... ;))

Only ran a pair of missions, but is the Plasma AI trained in the use of scatterpacks?  In both missions, my FF-sized escort did not deploy any scatterpacks that I saw...

The races settings coming into the mission from the dyna map is ISC, so you will always get the ISC mission briefing.

Shiplist error report

The XCB shows up in mission sometimes, this ship has no business in the list.

Have to say I really do like the new BATS assault mission and the new ambush action, very nice job Karnak....... :thumbsup:

What's the deal with X-ships anyway?

If they're not intended for this mess, I had an XCB and XFF visiting my C7...

Dunno, they're in OP+3.4 to start with. I'll take all the X-ships off the list tonight.

Missions, installer updated. (Be sure to uninstall KCW then install the new KCW files as the installer backs up your current files.)

I was just looking up the rules and found this:
Quote
12.Order of Battle: Each House is only permitted to fly six Heavy Battlecuisers and one Dreadnought (Flag ship for the House). All other ships below these hull classes have no restrictions. Restricted ships can be traded in or upgraded to other variants when available. Once destroyed, restricted ships cannot be replaced.

13.House Leaders are responsible for allocating restricted ships and can be transferred between players at the will of the House Leaders. Only House Leaders may authorize such transfers.

I would interpret that as meaning no ships larger than a CC should be available for sale.  Yesterday I saw a I-C9K and today a I-B10V in the shipyards.

Actually, the bigger ships still would need to be available in the shipyards at all times.

One of the things the rule, as written, allows me to do is to, on the fly and at my discretion, is reassign my BCHs and DN at will.  Theoretically I could log in at 8:00 PM, swipe the DN from her normal pilot, fly it for 2 hours or so, then give it back at the end of my night.  Or, I could have elaborite C7 "timesharing" schemes where I keep the C7s online as close to 24 hours per day as possible, and not rely on nutters to do that... :D

And it's a tradition on test servers that the restricted ships are cheap and free to fly.  Here's your chance to get your B11KVXZPQ super-battleship with self-escorting carrier features, minesweeper and commando deck... ;)
