***SGO4 Important New Testing and Feedback Thread!!!***
« on: January 20, 2005, 08:30:58 am »
Here is the current lin to all things SGO4: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163351518.msg1122511494.html#msg1122511494

Tonight sometime, there will be another mission and shiplist update. Bonk and I will need everyone we can to test test test till Friday night when the final install will be done. We need as much feedback as possible.

Here are some things to watch out for:

    *How often the same missions show up and how much mission variety there is.
    *Co-op missions paying out and reporting DV changes properly.
    *PvP missions paying out and reporting DV changes properly.
    *Mission matching and AI difficulty.
    *Try and use only Carriers and casual or full PF tenders so we can make sure all the PF and Ftrs are present.
    *And have fun! Consider this the fun server part till the kickoff!


Here are the links to the current installers:

Test moved to D.net to get ready to go live...

How many times did this occur?

Actually, I recall now this occured once last night too... thats enough to say I'll put version 2.1s back in instead to test for the rest of the afternoon (using a few 2.2s now)... hold up... its a shiplist structure thing... might try to fix, if not easily fixable EEK is out...

ok it happens in that mission every time when you attack the gorns. When you attack any one else as isc it works fine. Also when you  use it as any other race it works fine also I havent tried attacking the gorn as rommie or klink.

Thanks bunches Kurok, that tells me its a shiplist thing, if I can fix it easily I will, if not then EEK is out as we're OK for missions but a little lacking in variety.

I see this will cause issues all over the place: the doantion the structure...
upcoming fix: I will rearrange the shiplist donation scheme so most missions will work again...

game result: I will disable warp doubling for the pirate slots, otherwise donated empire carriers and PFTs will be able to warp double. therefore the pirates in the lyran slot will not be able to warp double - i'm betting this will be inconsequential to the server... (besides that lyran pirate slot has ISC ships in it... doubling ISC!?!?  uhuh.. we can compensate the pirates otherwise in the shiplist if necessary.)

this update will occur shortly, if dizzy and the players are OK with it, we can start putting all kinds of missions back in, if not we can go back to the way it is now and leave out all the missions with issues with this list (most)...

No offence Bonk. (And kudos fro running the server)
kudos.. now I have to look and see where that came from

Anyway wouldn't it be better to run the server with the (generally) stable
mission mix we have now, rather than rewriting stuff a couple of days before it's supposed to go live?

(RememberIm not questioning you skills, honestly don't know )

I mean ,essentially we have
1) A more or less stable shiplist
and
2) A more or less stable mission set

Why mess with it?

because this shiplist structure will theoretically destabilise any mission. what I'm doing is not radical, just watch - gimmie the afternoon - if it don't work out we can go back to haow it is now...

It will work.  It will work exactly how Bonk is proposing as long as he can properly disable Engine doubling.

The Pirates in the Lyran slot are inconsequential compared to having the missions work. They were a bit part anyway. I'll be happy to trade them in for stable missions. And bonk, the isc ships in the lyran list wernt donored so they couldnt engine double. Course, if ur fix works, it all wont matter anyway. :D

GL, I really hope it works.

Oh, and btw, when I click on the webmap link, then go to load map, it brings up a blank screen for me.
Will the webmap be up for the campaign? Or just for the beta server?
