Looks like this is just the basics into scripting a game. Good read for anyone starting off. Written by a game designer who worked for BioWare, I may checkout his other books.

Welcome back. Those damn ip changes were supposed to be a good thing. Let's hope it doesn't have to change anymore and it gets more populated.

Quote from: Trinity;10076I think having an updated Minecraft server would be good too. 1.8 will be released soon. Lots of new blocks and I love the Mesa biome.
the Minecraft server is updated to the latest but isnt running the old world, due to bukkit not updating to a working mod yet. I have saved the world and started a new one. Ive been using it to mess around in, anyone is welcome to play in it. It is also set to be creative mode.

When there are players, it tends to attract other players and snowballs from there. I agree that no one will join an empty server unless its to check it out. We used to have an almost constant flow of active players, at least a few people on at any time.this helped a lot to boost players in the server. There needs to be a reason to join the server even if its empty, maybe some side games or something to keep the players attention til others join. The maps have a lot of destructible objects and things to explore, but if one could call a boss to fight i think it would help. Im strongly against using bots to bring players into the server, btw.

I've also noticed that some players will leave when an admin comes on, maybe I should remove the broadcasting of admins in the ads field. Im going to update all that soon, the server name and plugins. btw, we should have a name for the server, not just unknown assassins mariokart. I could never come up with a good name.

I did some testing last night with one other person on and I called a vote and they it didnt allow them to vote 1 out of 2 times, the second time they could vote. I was able to vote both times when the other player called it. I doubt the Valve voting System knows who's an admin since nothing is specified, it might know that im the server owner by a server tokens needed, but I need this to be tested better. There also is no timer on maps that im aware of and only relies on players calling and voting on another map, I think id rather keep it like this. Ive also added 3 new maps to the maps list, mario_kart(the original), mario_kart a11f and mario_kart day b29. Ill add more tommorow, id like to keep it mario kart related if you want to see maps added.

but were those 14 people regulars who already had the map or people playing for the first time? I havent been watching the server so Im not sure if a few or any people have been playing on there. Regardless, the maps were fixed, the original host art of war central, where the maps were previously being hosted, shut down (like 3 months ago) and everything needed moved to my new web server. I did this last night, also fixed mapcycle not showing the correct mapcycle list. We also need to find out if maps change immediately on map change vote or if it allows voting, because when i tryed it with another player on, and active, it changed very quickly and the other player, when i asked, said they were not asked to vote for the change. This is bad since anyone could change the map without anyone voting for it, at anytime, without being admin(its valves voting system not sourcemod, which controls admin).
#39
it would make sense, but the web host, art of war central, has been down now for about 2-3 months. And that is where the map files were hosted so, it should be moved to a new server. Ive been very busy and havent been around the server to do anything. Ill need to find the maps and reupload them to my new web server and change the properties. Anyone that has the files shouldn't have any problems connecting to the server, only new people.

its really not bad, actually works. Mostly wanted it to cook wings without having to mess with fryers and the oil. i was gonna get one from walmart, have to order it, its the big boss for like 70 bucks. Im gonna do that and see how they compare and take back the nuwave if its just as good.

awesome. I thinking about cooking a whole turkey in my NuWave oven (infrared, conduction, convection) from frozen. says itll take about 3 hours or so. I bought the oven to try then take back and get a cheaper version online, this one was 160 bucks! Ive already made chicken wings which came out pretty good and close to fried taste when you add some oil to it, nice and crispy, also made 2 cornish hens a couple nights ago, came out awesome as well in only 40 minutes.

It seems the clan was hinging on the mariokart server and since it changed ip due to change of host, there has been a lot less people on the server and people started moving away from the clan. I was also working on making a new map but getting frustrated with hammer editor and seeming that no one is playing on the server, ive decided to move away from it and move in a different direction. Ive been working with unity editor to make a game for android, maybe make some money from it. Ive gotten a small game going but soo much more needs done and i dont have the time right now since im working 50+ hours a week. Also, the minecraft server was fairly active until Mojang updated it and bukkit plugins couldnt keep up with the updates and people stopped playing there too. So both servers are pretty much empty and im still paying for both. I was thinking about shutting them down but I may leave them for a bit longer. We could maybe restart or something.

Coldassassin may have the old world files, that were thought to be lost. Youd have to talk to him about it. Id like to check it out myself, really. I dont know how many poeple would play on the server if it was updated to the current version, without bukkit, but I know that there are some people have been waiting for it to update. Id like to just update it but then peoples privated stuff could be stolen. I may just run a new mod, something better for now, but like to know what other think about it first.
#47
Haha yeah make whatever if you want. add some variety, the players can rate the map. I seen you have the game already, was gonna give you a copy.

I want to put the Trackmania server back up, but need your help. I have been playing some trackmania recently and have thought about re-adding the server I started but shut down a while back. What i did wrong was make tracks that were way too complicated for anyone to have fun on, so Im gonna remake some tracks to add to the server. I would like anyone that has the game to help me out and make tracks for our server. I have found that the best maps seem to be the easiest and most fun to replay to get the best possible time. My tracks were very long and too hard to replay to get the best time if you wanted. So, I will be making new tracks for it that are shorter and better. I would like to restart the server I had and add those and your custom maps to it.

The server would have all kinds of records from around the world and would be displayed on screen. It would also have track karma, which is map voting and even a jukebox for background music, probably electronic, dubstep, dnb type music. The mod I used before was Xsaco and was good for adding all these features.

If you dont have the game and really want it and would like to contribute to the server, let me know, I have 8 copies (7 now) of the game I will give out to anyone that really wants it and will play it. I got them on sale, lol. So let me know if you REALLY want it, and maybe ill send you a copy.
thanks.

Since not many people play on the server, some have recommended to me that I change it to a trade server. People seem to like those and I think its what should be done. But since i dont play much tf2 or tf2 outside the server, I don't really know what makes a trade server work well. So im asking you what should be done, whether it be different plugins, map changes, whatever, Please tell me and I can add it. I think most poeple that join the server just want to mess around and not fight anyways.

I was thinking about how Id like to integrate the plugins and have thought of making a plugin where someone can designate themselves as a friendly or someone that doesnt want to fight and while they are freindly, they can use all plugin features and cant interfer with players in the other mode, Battle mode. This is where you couldnt use any features that would give you an unfair advantage in a fight. I can pretty easily make a plugin to do this if I want, so its not a problem and I have already started something like it. I also have been working on some new maps that should only be used on a trade server cuz of the size. I can also edit the current MarioKart map to accommodate the trade server change. I also dont really like using maps that other servers use, Id rather keep it using our maps.

So give me your suggestions and ill see what I can do. Thanks!

--- Update ---

I would also like to add that I am planning on a Minecraft map for the Trade Server. It could be multiple maps. So if you got a nice map that would work well as a trade server, let me know, I can transfer it into a tf2 map. Ive been meaning to work on one, adding alot of nice features, but have been way too busy with everything to even attempt it. I could take your ideas or maps and make them into one and put it on the server. The biggest thing with making minecraft maps is the amount of brushes, they can only be at max 8200 or so. I can turn things into models and further optimize it so it works if I need to, so send me your maps, if you got any or going to make some, and I can maybe add them to the server or mix it in with another map.

--- Update ---

this is a model of piggy I fully made in blender and animated, I was going to use him to let players become him in a map or any other entity but tf2 charactor animations and scripting of them is a bitch. Maybe in a later map.

Ok, so the Minecraft server has been out of date now for, I don't even know, and bukkit has yet to put out a stable release of the mod. Id like to update to the latest version of Minecraft, but that would mean that the plugins wouldnt work and some important ones like lockette everyone uses to lock up their stuff in chests, private doors and whatever. I been trying to figure out what to do with the server. I havent seen anyone in it in quite a while and the whole thing is going to waste, please give me some ideas on what you think I should do. I could back up the world and update it, maybe even make a temporary world while we wait for bukkit or even a new mod. Then restore it back to how it was. Let me know, thanks.
