I know thw holidays really screwed with my availability, but has anyone gottend a chance to see if the PvP bugs had gotten fixed yet?

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #1 on:** January 09, 2007, 01:40:56 pm »

If the Servers could stay up for more than twenty minutes at a time. (Maybe Frey needs to take a couple people up on their offer to camp the cable line)

FPF-DieHard · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2007, 01:43:05 pm »

I restarted it, I saw the console was hung while trying to connect to the Directory servers. Looks operational now though.

Well, I have to go to the Autoparts store, the Bank and then the Grocery store. After that I'm free until about 5 PM Central, anyone going to be available?

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #4 on:** January 10, 2007, 12:08:18 pm »

Down again.

Weird, server was still running. I just rebooted it so it should be available.

Somebody look for me on MSN tonight before 11 PM so we can finally test this stuff in PvP

Assuming I'm not doubled over by then, I'd like to come in on the PvP test. That's 11 P.M. EST, right?

Yup

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2007, 09:00:52 pm »

I'll be on the server from now until about midnight EST unless something big comes up.

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2007, 11:07:47 pm »

Any way to tone down the number of Battleships in the shipyard? When I logged off there was something like 9 BattleShips and 10 Frigates, the rest being speciality or unique ships. (CFR and NCM respectively)

Brief report:

Geek and I were involved in some PvP while on the server tonight. Knightstorm joined us for one battle.

Besides Geek throughly handing me my head, we noticed no issues related to the mission script. A little bit of lag, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Suggestion for Dave: Eliminate the Cancel Target function on Warping until the ship actually goes to warp. Hypothetically, if someone were to take an Engine hit during the power up time, it could cancel the jump to warp. And then the ship that was trying to warp would be forced to fight, but since they couldn't re-acquire a target they'd be little more than target practice. It's not much of an issue in a duel, but in a fleet engagement it could make a difference.

Losing targeting isn't such a big deal as everyone on the map loses targeting once you decide to warp out.

I think I covered that eventuality in the code, but will go back and double-check

thanks,

Knightstorm and I flew against each other in two missions. We won one apiece. There didn't seem to be any bugs to report.

knightstorm · « **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2007, 12:16:02 am »

I found a bug. After Geek withdrew from the second round, the mission did not end. I was forced to warp out in order to end the mission

That is an old bug that cannot be fixed.

FPF-DieHard · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2007, 04:47:06 pm »

Cool. Dave, are we good for the next pack? let me know and I'll switch them on the server.

(though I'm not home and can't connect to the server right now, hmm . . . )

Alphageek · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2007, 12:07:54 am »

Ooooh! Is there a new pack ready? Sweet!

Die Hard, when the next pack goes in, can you restart the server at the earliest bit? Oh, and can you fix the Pirate political scene so every pirate isn't a long term partner of every other pirate?

Actually, after I warped off, it didn't close. So I used the forfeit button to close the session out.

I'll dig into it some more, see what I can come up with.

No, sorry DH. RL has been a bit nuts since the holidays, so it'll be at least a week or so before I can roll the next one out

OK, I lied (so what else is new).

I put together a new pack that hopefully nixes some of the bugs reported over the last month or so.

It's at the usual location: http://www3.telus.net/NuclearWessels/sfc/downloads/EDWarpPatrols.exe

I'll update the server tonight. Good job

Server's down.

FPF-DieHard · « **Reply #24 on:** January 25, 2007, 01:43:45 pm »

It was still running, that is strange. I just reboted it and set the DB back to 2273

Lear · « **Reply #25 on:** January 26, 2007, 11:06:45 pm »

ran into a smuggler who became allied then attacked me.
no weapons were working (firing that is ) on my side

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #26 on:** January 26, 2007, 11:14:19 pm »

Had an interesting mission earlier.

Contraband Smuggler. I approached him at Yellow Alert (Set well before the 2 minute mark) He tried to evade, I snagged him with a tractor beam. He never tried to attack. I towed his sorry butt back to orbit of the planet and let the Planet's Phaser Banks obliterate him.
