I'll re-upload the installer.. sorry for the inconvience

Give me 10 min and you should be able to Download it again.

Edit : file has been re-uploaded.. you can try again now.


Hmm, well, maybe it's me...
still getting same message...
*sigh*
Guess I'll mow the yard...and try again later.

I ran into this one also, when you d/l a file generally it goes to a windows temp dir, so when you try to d/l it again windows (in it's 'I'm going to do you a favor and save you some time' mentality) will pull the same corrupt file from it's temp directory. You'll need to delete that corrupt file from the temp directory BEFORE you attempt to d/l it again. In your browsers 'options' there's an option to purge your 'visited sites' forcing your browser to actually download the entire content of the page again. I'll look when I get home for the location of that 'temp' dir, but wipe the contents, and re-download.

So far seems stable enough, however I need to put shipping lanes into the home hexes to prevent log on errors showing up in the data base..

so far, no DB corruption and the error only shows up on 1 in 5 players.. which is weird.. I think shipping lanes will fix this... that means I need to redo the map.. plus I need to add the new scripts to the server, I will do that in the morning.

hey diz...does this mean shipping lanes have to be put on a map?

i ask as the current version of the "spice wars" map i put together...has no shipping lanes...

and if the econ thing works out...that would really be kewl as then i could go back to the original "map" i had in mind...

but if shipping lanes need to be present...thats something i really need to know...

and anything else if you would be so kind to relay...that would be kewl too...thank you!

Shipping Lane hexes allow Convoy Raid missions to appear, much like you need a Listening Post hex to have the Data Recovery mission to appear. Since the Convoy Raid mission has been removed from the play set, you really don't need shipping lanes.

That's the theory, but (IIRC) in practice the server/script handling of shipping lanes seems kinda flaky - often treating it the same as an empty space hex anyway.

(I think ... haven't looked at that issue in quite awhile now)

Now that we have updated scripts, again.. the installer is updated..

To uninstall the old installer.. go into your OP directory and find the HC_Uninstall.exe and run it.. and then you can DL and run the new installer..

http://warpcore.110mb.com/Downloads/Hardcore_Installer.zip



Alternatively, you can just install the new scripts over the top of the old ones..

http://warpcore.110mb.com/Downloads/HC_Scripts.zip

Server has already been updated with the new scripts.


Also the DB has been reset.. map has had a bit of an edit in order to help the new problem.. Home space hexes will have an Econ of 1 in each hex except 2.. you have a main economical hex and a support hex to throw the economy off a hair for the news.
