Any chance the webmap might be screwing up the plumbing, so to speak?
Oh wait... unless someone transferred races, bought a ship, and transferred back before the ship came in... that might cause this. Let me look for that...
Oh wait... unless someone transferred races, bought a ship, and transferred back before the ship came in... that might cause this. Let me look for that...
Aha! I found at least one case of that. Lemme come up with a solution.
Once I fix this up I'm going to have to add code to the transfers page to prevent a transfer if there is an open ship bid.
If you transfer races and buy a ship, you must login on the race you bought the ship as, logout once you receive the ship, then transfer back... I'm gonna have to stew on a protocol/rules for this situation... hmmm....
I plead guilty. :huh::carmen:
I tried using the webmap yard without being on the server, and it kinda screwed me up that I couldn't just pick the ship I wanted, so I switched races, bid on the ship, then switched back. Sorry :brickwall:
150 Hail Mary's? That's it? I feel bad, but it does feel a little bit better to know that I'm not the only one who screwed up. What's MRogue get? 150 minutes in the Agonizer Booth? :whip:
If it'll make it easier, you can delete my bid. I meant for that one to go to my Hydran account, and forgot I was flying Fed at the time.... :-\
Hmmm...just has a weird thing happen...twice in a row...I had my drones stripped from my fleet....first time one ship....fled out of mission...went to dock...showed default reload...went to hex...took mission....this time my whole fleet had no drones...
I'll try and repeat....

Just so ya know, sometimes missions are still pullling out-of-era AI.
Flew a few with Khellian, drew an X-BRO in a Asteriod base Assault.
Have seen this just a couple of other times, I'll try to notice if it's certain missions or not in the future.
Not a real big deal, just an FYI. ;)

If you get the chance to note which missions do that it'll help a lot - some of the missions call different Taldren methods to generate the ships, so we might be able to isolate which ones draw from out of era.
Although IIRC the asteroid base assault only uses the stock draft method, so it might just wind up confusing me ;)
thanks!

The X-BR0 is an Orion ship and is in era. (YFA=5 YLA=999) All the orion cartel ships are X-___, do not mistake them for X ships. Please check the shiplist if you suspect a ship is out of era to save me the trouble of looking it up, thanks.
I just ran 6 missions in a droner, a nice mix of ET and ED missions, I supplied between each mission and was not missing any drones at any point. But the network is behaving well at the moment, not getting any delays on the webserver... I am suspicious that the network delays may also be interfering with the dynaverse server and supply is where you are seeing the effect. Time will tell. I'll get back on later and try some stock missions and an asteroid base assault as that was mentioned.
Also my char Soreyes is Ghosted. Took a mission with Chuut . Countdown went to 0. Boom now Ghosted :(
Running missions this morning and found that when I draw a TG mission. The AI that I'm pulling are a little out of date. Was pulling HWDs as allies and as foes. the year is mid 74. It was only on the TG missions that this was happening.
Met ED5 had a DDZ as "reinforcements" out of era
Also my char Soreyes is Ghosted. Took a mission with Chuut . Countdown went to 0. Boom now Ghosted :(
Have you rebooted your PC yet to try and clear the ghost?
need exact "Class" values to verify against YFA/YLAs in the shiplist. (e.g. F-CA) Actually which I'd prefer if you verified yourself before reporting as reqested of LordKrueg above. Note there are 20 hydran HWDs out in 2272.

They were Klingon, and Fed HDWs
also wheres the help on planet assaults and yard assaults?
there used to be ai in both, now its just me, the enemy DN and the phaser armed planet. Not very pretty.
hey bonk, if you get a chance and the forge slows up, can you unghost me too? i'm sorta on the front lines still and causing draft issues for people i think.
It happens from time to time. I have not lost a ship on the Forge due to this yet, but have lost many over the last couple years due to this. Commonly known as either "The Hand of Bethke" or for those who used to play the board game, "The Thumb of Doom". It appears that when 2 ships are very close and there is catastropic damage dealt to one ship, the other gets lost in the explosion. One of my last ships I lost that way was a Lyran BB which when it died, showed only 106 internals. Losing that ship in a progressive Coop Campaign game forced me back to a 100 bpv ship. All part of the game, just hope it does not happen often.
Hiya KRolling......haven't seen you since last eve.... ;)
Hey bonk, i was looking at the webmap in IE just now (campus machine), and noticed that the hex descriptions show up correctly as oppossed to at home on firefox, why is that?
<?php
$shipdatarow = array();
$shipcount = 0;

$shipdatarow[$shipcount] = $shipdata;
$shipcount++;
}
}
fclose($fp);

(no planet/asteroid base actually required for the mission to trigger)//
// The following two functions determine the size and race of the planet and the race that should be
// defending it.
//
I also noticed for the first time that each planet has a type like core world 1 and asteroid base, etc, does this affect the mission draws at all?
Edit: If it doesn't presently, can it be made to? Would it require chaining dave in a room somewhere and writing terrain specific missions?

For the stock missions, the planet/homeworld assaults just have three kinds of map: one for open space, one for asteroids, one for nebula.
The missions can be customized to give different maps based on what subtype of planet, base, and terrain are in the hex. Actually there are a lot of combinations: 26 terrain types, 13 planet types, and 6 base types, so theoretically a mission could have 2028 different fixed maps - it's just setting them up and debugging them that's a pain. (Most missions actually only contain between 3 and 12 maps.)
The mission scripting api recognizes the 3 types each of asteroid base hex, colony, core, and homeworld (or no planet at all),
plus 6 types each of empty space, asteroids, nebulae, and black holes,
plus 1 type each of dust clouds and shipping lanes (though these seem unreliable in practice),
plus no base or the five base types from listening post through starbase.
(OK, my usual long-winded version of a short answer!)
dave
I hear ya there! MySQL debug test builds of the OP serverkit will be resuming soon, once we've got that nailed down the scripting API could use a little attention insofar as we can without the OP client source.
P.S. just lemme know when you have those mission updates done and we'll toss in the new ones for the scripts I'm using on The Forge to give them a good working over...
Bah...I never see these posts until AFTER I try and log in... :D
ACK! You've ripped me nickers! I was specificly looking at those planets and took a couple because they'd have a devil of a time taking them away! HRMPH!

I did the same today, even flipped one Rom to give them an even harder time in the Nebs... :P
No Biggie...TY, Bonk.
funny thing is, i still show it in a neb
Any one have Clintks missions? i used to have them all on disc but cant seem to find them I rember them as having been a blast espicaly the ones that were with his pf mod.
The premise of the server is still the same, a simple persistent server on OP+4 for new players to train on and for old players to get their daily fix. The map for this run is a bit smaller, but still is supposed to be a new resource rich sector of space to be exploited by the empires and cartels who have found themselves transported there. Again, victory will be assigned to the side with the most economic points at the end of this four month run. (2273-2303, 4 days per game year, 5 minute turns)
(walks to center of forum...gets out soapbox....stands on soapbox.....)
Hello,
First I would like say awesome server Bonk! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Now with that being said..........
Had a good hex battle going with KBF-Standart when Krueg logs on skips several neutral hexes by backing out and not fighting when mission screen comes up. I know this because i had the Forge map up and it showed him log on and off several times then he showed up right next to me with his uber battleship.
So the question is whats the point of this server? There are no real empire locations, just people scipping around grabbing points.
I do not say this to offend Bonk in any way, I know he has commited a lot of time and effort to this server.
I just want to undersatnd so I can have the correct mind set for the game.
I know this will problable get me flammed, so for those who are pained by such things please overt your eyes.
Thank you for your time.....
(bows graciously....steps down from soapbox...picks up soapbox and sneaks away to lurk in the shadows once more.....)
While we're on the subject of the webmap, you may have noticed that the shiplist purchasing column in the webyards is incomplete... this is due to a bug in the current php version. I have opened a bug report at php.net and it has been reproduced and assigned. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next version. We'll just have to put up with it till then.
[url]http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37300[/url]
That OP+4 shiplist is a pig to load into arrays in php, the script only loads the appropriate race for the character using it, but the arrays produced are still huge. It needs more than the default 8MB memory_limit in php. This is partly due to the way the fgetcsv function in php works, but it is the best(only?) solution I have found to load portions of the shiplist into arrays in memory.
Forge down for maintenance again...?
never in all my years of dynaverse gaming have I ever thought of Krueg as a cheater.
Due to unforseen circumstances, I will be unavailable to administer The Forge Dynaverse server for an extended period of time. Frey will still be around to give it a kick when needed and reset it once 2303 rolls around again. Have fun, play nice and don't give Frey any trouble. :)

Why is this???
I'm sure if it was really necessary for us to know, he would have told us, sir. ;)
NP, Bonk...we'll manage. Take care of business and we'll see you soon. ;D
Quotenever in all my years of dynaverse gaming have I ever thought of Krueg as a cheater.
I'll second that!!!!!!! Heck Bugman dont get bent out of shape because Krueg got a B10 to chase you down. Heck he did that to me a lot of times in the past, and I was only in a Z-DF :P ;D

Still drawing ships out of era occasionally.
Met ED17 patrol drew a Gorn XCB as the "reinforcments".
Year is now only 2284...XCB shouldn't appear until 2303... :-\
I think it be time to nerf bases from yards base placement getting out of hand
EDIT: packs have been updated - 'twas a stupid mistake with the monster issue. Out of era reinforcements should no longer appear, (it won't generate the extra reinforcements in cases where an out-of-era one would have been chosen, I'll get a cleaner fix later)
and I don't know that it's related but, i logged of the Forge tonite shortly before midnite to transfer and then purchase a new ship via the webyards etc. -- went to ISC and bought a BBVz

Congrats to the Coalition.Your affinity for dropping bases on every hex you take for use as a block has made me resign from this server.Enjoy
I'm not upset at anyone here is my reason:
Since better than 9 times out of 10 the base in the base assult mission is a top Starbase with fighters.For the price,the option of a Starbase is @say 4K,hell of a deal I say.I wouldn't crab if you actually had bought starbases or if the mission put a battlestation in, which is really what was puchased instead of stabase,
I wouldn't crab if you actually had bought starbases
Wormhole! Great! Any advance indication of how this will function? Nice innovation...
Bonk .... Would it be possible to do a team chat in the game like race chat .... /Join Alliance ... /Join Coalition
Being able to switch races like you can, then we would still be able to chat all together. Especially for people w/o TS or VT.
Just wondering and thought I'd ask ... :huh:
Should we post previous kills?
Or only ones that occur from now on?
I wouldn't crab if you actually had bought starbases
i bought the best bases that have been available in the shipyard....although i have only been on for past few weeks,i have yet to see a starbase in the shipyard to buy.i have even checked the webmap(lyran shipyard) and still don't see a starbase to buy,which i would have if it was available :( i understand your frustration at being slowed down, and as mentioned above with you and kaz flying 90% of alliance missions i sympathize with so little support from your alliance brethern.i hope you do come back(u and kaz as well as the few pilots that were on there).
maybe those other so called alliance Pilots(NOT!!!!) will invest a little time and support the honourable warriors that did show up to play.i SALUTE you all SIRS,for your dedication to the game :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Excuse me, but don't go lumping everyone into one nice little group for you to dump on TT. I just got back a few days ago after 10 days out of the country, which I posted in the alliance forum and a ton of crap to deal with at home this week and I have over 800 missions run in my primary account. (you have just over 300 in 2 accounts, go figure) While I admire Soth and Kaz' efforts here, don't go dumping on everyone else besides these 2, collectively. It's wrong and not cool.
Slamming ALL alliance pilots for not showing up is hardly a good way to encourage larger contributions and is not fair or proper. (anyone recall that this is supposed to be a fun server?) How about posting something like it would be good if more would show up instead of "so called alliance Pilots(NOT!!!!)" etc. People keep wondering why numbers are dwindling and how to attract more players. This sort of thing ain't it.

Wormhole! Great! Any advance indication of how this will function? Nice innovation...
Like so: The Forge Wormhole Network ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/webmap_op_sql/wormholes.php[/url]) (also linked from the webmap index ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/webmap_op_sql/[/url]) now)
This is a test flight of the concept, please report any issues, comments.
You must be logged off the server for it to work. (I have yet to add a check in the wormhole script to make sure you aren't logged in - I need look up some stuff in the kit source first though). And like the webyards, the forums account email used must match the email for the gamepy account associated with the character.
It will ask for a destination hex, which when submitted will proceed to a confirmation page with additional details where you can confirm or cancel entering the wormhole.
It will cost 100 PP per hex and will work from/to any hex on the map. I may restrict it to only work from/to friendly planets and bases in the future, based on feedback.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, there's a 1% chance the wormhole will collapse in transit and you will be transported to a random location on the map! :o Which based on feedback, I may modify to being a 10% chance of being off by just one or two hexes from the desired destination instead...
Is this 100 PP per hex travelled, or 100 per "use"?
Havn't tried it yet, but, it sounds interesting.
...It will cost 100 PP per hex...
I hope to god it's 100 points per hex travelled.
...
2, EXTREMELY high usage cost (100 points per hex travelled is fair)
...The wormholes are a great idea if you can put some more limits on them...
1, jumpgates- predefined entry and exit points.
3, The random collapse idea is great ! - but maybe go 5 hexs off destination, and maybe a chance of breakdown <wink><wink>.
... or worse- a pack of live players able to jump a lone pilot from anywhere on the map ...
(Just had the idea while typing this reply of tranferring the character wholus-bolus to another server with such a utility... seems someone suggested that to me before... lots of potential there, also makes one think of character persistence across servers that are contiguous in time... hmmm..)

You can verify if the copy of OP that you are running has OP+4 installed by looking in:
\Assets\Specs
and
\MetaAssets
The files are as follows:
ftrlist.txt 29KB 8/17/2004 9:19PM
shiplist.txt 2,911KB 12/25/2004 12:06PM
or as listed by a "dir" at the command prompt:
08/17/2004 09:19 PM 28,785 ftrlist.txt
12/25/2004 12:06 PM 2,980,746 shiplist.txt
You should also have a registry entry for OP that corresponds to the actual install location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Taldren\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates "Directory"
There are also entries for OP+4:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE\FireSoul\opplus "version"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FireSoul\opplus "Install_Dir"
Which you can use to verify the install locations of OP and OP+ (they should match) and the version of OP+ present.
OMG I think my head just blew up!!!
Can someone just put them in a zip file and e mail them to warsears@yahoo.com

Tyred to log on the other day and got a bad ship list and fighter list. I have Firesoul's OP+4 installed. Any Ideals?
There have been a couple updates to the mission and script packs.

Yes, I accidently put the mission pack link twice... ::)
Bonk posted the correct link after that and I've fixed the link now, try again, sir. ;)
Still not working... but I may have fizzled something trying to make this work. <Insert favorite curse here> :banghead:
Maybe tomorrow...
Thanks for your help though.

Define "not working"
The link doesn't work?
Can't log on?
Hail <S> I have had a problem getting the shipyard to show me any ships. I am on KBF-LordKruegs pc and it shows him the ship list when he is online but not me when I sign in. The only way I can buy a ship is when I am in the game. I am at a loss as to what to do next.

OK who's this wisearse Han_Solo gallivanting around the map as a Prime pirate in a Rom R-OMH-KK? A warp doubling Rom DN!!! :o
I just might have to put some kind caveat into the tranfers code to prevent this kind of chicanery. Limiting the wormhole network as discussed will help too... but I have another related project on the go at the moment.
When I noticed this today Han_Solo had 666 missions in... :skeptic: Economic reports indicate that he will likely win the server for the Coalition singlehandedly! (Prime is #1 at 6210 economic points)
Have to give him credit for thinking of it, I hadn't.
So who is the mastermind?
It looks like something Chuut would do. I'd suspect Krueg but he has 1431 mission in on his account...
Aha, looks like its: romulansithlord ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2044[/url]) <--- evil genius ;) ;D
fighter/ship lists go in assets/specs
I edited your email address in the forums database to match the one for your character in The Forge Dynaverse server database and sent a test message, let me know here if you receive the test email message OK.
You should be OK to use the webyards with that account now.
EDIT: I have modified the webyards code to handle cases like this properly now (I think) and it should give an appropriate error message if the email addresses do not match exactly.
Sorry, didn't know if what I have been doing is legal or not. In fact, I hadn't even used the warp doubling in my battles. Let me know if I must "uncloak" and revert back to the Romulan side if I must.
Winning a battle would give the Cartel shift accordingly - a loss shifts the Empire for a loss.
I still have to fight my way across the galaxy like everyone else (no logging in/out).
ALL planets and bases supply me (thanx Coalition and Alliance for the gas !!!)
Well, back to my Kessel run, er.... wrong galaxy.
Solo
THe shiplist and fighterlist go in \Assets\Specs AND \MetaAssets.
However if you are manually installing OP+4 then somehting is not right, it is distributed as an installer. As mentioned above OP+4 also requires strings files a model.siz file and dozens of model folders and models which you should aslo check.
Are you runing multiple installs of OP?
Have you isntalled and configured Hardcore? (did you install the old version of it at any point?)
How are you launching OP? (Try copying StarfleetOP.exe and paste it as a shortcut on the desktop and use that shortcut to launch the game)
Shiplist:
[url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Mods/opplus_40_models.exe[/url] (61M with models)
OR [url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Mods/opplus_40_no_models.exe[/url] (275K stock model copies)
[url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Mods/opplus_40_shiplist.zip[/url] (316K shiplist-fighterlist only - but you can't just throw these on top of a stock install)
Missions:
[url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Scripts/TheForgeScripts.exe[/url] (1.4M)
I will check the server at some point and give it a reboot to ensure that the security server is not bugged somehow and inconsistently rejecting logins. When this is happening to people are they trying more than once? (could it just be bandwidth issues?)
If you are running multiple OP installs read this post above to see why that can be a problem:
[url]http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163366452.msg1122725650.html#msg1122725650[/url]
(Only one registry entry for the directory location - despite multiple installs.)
If you want to run multiple copies of OP check this thred:

One last prob was that I bought a ship on the webmap that never showed ingame.

You are correct. Flying under the Prime Cartel, a loss normally increases my opposing Alliance Empire, or lowers the Coalition defense value. There is an ulterior motive for this. ;D
Also, hex 12,6 has a Cartel defense of 242 on the Forge and a defense of 1010 on the webmap. :o

Because it looks like it came in from here... ships purchased from the shiplist on the webyards still go through the bid process and will take 5-10 minutes to come in. You should be able to see your bid in the auction on both the webyards and the in-game shipyards before the ship is awarded to you if you win the auction. (Though this will change in future so that webyard purchases from the shiplist will be instantaneous)+1 karma for all the help and the great server.

I think you might be confused about which of your three accounts you used the webmap with and which one you logged in on the server expecting to find the ship.
The shipcachevector for Kapact and the ship table both show that character as having received the ship. This could only have happened within 10 minutes or not at all.
Could you please login on the server with that account and let me know if the webyards purchased K-F5L shows or not. I cannot imagine how it could not, if it does not show I would really like to know how it got into the characters shipcachevector and marked as owned by you in the ship table without a sucessful auction as processed by the game server. If that has happened I really need to know so I can find out why. I hope to God it has not in fact happened because it will be one heck of a mystery to figure out, which I iwill have to figure out before doing any further work on the serverkit or webmap stuff.
Make sure you login on Kapact, not KBF-Kapact or kbf_kapact to see if that K-F5L shows in the supply panel for that character. It should be the second of two ships.

You're right. I logged in there and found that ship. I think I was logged on to the forums with one ID and the server with another. So that's why I didn't see the ship. I was looking in the wrong place. I just didn't get how the webmap worked. I'm now waiting for my confirmation email for the latest one, so I can use the webmap. Until then, I'm happy just working off the server. Thanks.
I'm ghosted.
Server rebooted, we are haunted no longer. :)

This doesn't mean I've lost my beautiful ship... and Commodore rank, does it?
Kapact
how about restarted for reset
and updated for rebooted.
Makes sense to me.
So -
restarted = database wiped, server restarted from the beginning.
rebooted = server application shut down then server application run again.
Can't figure how a FFD can take out a starbase and a DN and CL cannot,,,Kinda takes the fun out of it.
Bonk, I have'nt been able to wormhole to other hexes
Also, can't seem to locate were to transfer races anymore. Is there a change?
Bonk, I have'nt been able to wormhole to other hexes
You must be starting in a black hole hex... I havent tested it out myself yet actually... I'll give it a go and see if there is a problem.
The new controls are GREAT!!!! -- I still open multiple browser windows so i can go back and forth between the who's on and the map... but this is the most useful implementation of a "frameset" kinda thing i've seen in a long time....
Very interesting. :skeptic:
There is only one mission that will construct a base on The Forge: Met_NWBasePlacement.scr and it should be billed as such. I usually get right to base placement if I am in possesion of a base. All other script types should ignore the base.
Did you happen to purchase a ship on the OCI while in possesion of the base? If not, we'll just have to be aware of this happening in the TG patrols. I don't think it merits pulling the missions. Though strangely DieHard reported to me the other day that the TG missions are known to warp people off the map regularly, though I have heard no reports of it in the seven months The Forge has been running.
i think it one of dave's missions actually not tracey's patrol.
It requires Firesoul's OP+4 ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Mods/opplus_40_models.exe[/url]) and The Forge scripts pack ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Scripts/TheForgeScripts.exe[/url]).Campaign Interface looks neat nice jop Bonk.
Online Campaign Interface (OCI) ([url]http://www.dynaverse.net/oci/index.php/cfg,theforge.html[/url]).
(Firefox extension to aid in viewing map info here ([url]https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1715/[/url]).)
Dave's test missions are still in and we'll update/add/remove them as necessary.
The premise of the server is still the same, a simple persistent server on OP+4 for new players to train on and for old players to get their daily fix. The map for this run is a bit smaller, but still is supposed to be a new resource rich sector of space to be exploited by the empires and cartels who have found themselves transported there. Again, victory will be assigned to the side with the most economic points at the end of this four month run. (2273-2303, 4 days per game year, 5 minute turns)
The webmap and associated pages still work the same and assume that your Dynaverse gamespy login e-mail address is identical to your Dynaverse.net forums account e-mail address. The transfers page is still up to faciliate playing multiple races on one account.
The webmap will continue to evolve and additional features will be added. The Forge is also intended as a testbed for new Dynaverse technolgies. I have another project on the go at the moment, to be announced soon, at which point I will resume work on improvements and additions to the webmap.
Thanks Age.
The Forge will be coming down tonight and will remain down for the duration of Slave Girls VI. It will be back up immediately after Slave Girls VI is complete.
Ummm what time will it go down?
Ummm what time will it go down?
About 2 hours ago...
SG6 test will be up shortly...
I think Dave can reboot it now that Bonk's gone, I've PM'd about it.
If not him, probably Frey can.
I found it and started iut back up using the process sentinel, but thought better of it as I found more forge folders bonk has spread all over the place. ::) I cant even find my SGO6 folder... which should still be setup so all i have to do is hit the process sentinel and it picks right up where we ended it at the end of round three. But I cant find that. Mb bonk needs to put a shortcut for me on the desktop to these two folders... ::)
I dont follow this thread. If the server needs to be rebooted you need to make a new thread for each time it goes down or I wont see it. Ill reboot it now.
Edit, rebooted. You shouldnt be ghosted now.

Don't know if this has been noted ; MET_NW7 ConvoyRaid ,shows as a patrol mission says complete then at debreif it says mission failed and won't give DV shift but does give you 25 prestige

Hey, almost sounds like a feature! ;D

List of Offending files: ftrlist.txt/Found Bad CRC/shiplist.txt/Found Bad CRC" I have OP+4 and have downloaded the Forge script pack.it looks like just your shiplist is wrong
Shut down the server, open the DB folder. Delete all DB files and back-ups. Reboot server ;)
empire level looked like feds 1st, hydrans 2nd klinks 3rd and roms 4th, last I looked with the alliance having a 3,000 econ lead. 5th and 6th went to mirak and gorn, then 7th to isc and 8th to lyrans. Good to see you post Bonk!
Thought I'd post a message here
Server needs a reset. Lot of folks have been "ghosted" and can't get on - cept with a new account, which sounds like some may have gotten ghosted again.
ThanX in Advance to whomever has the "keys"

Bumping this one again too. 20 ghosts and counting.
you CAN PM me. I get an email. I check email several times a day.
Okay, I am a bit surprised no one PM'ed me regarding this.
It's only due to Kehakoul's vigilance and letting me know on D.Net teamspeak - where I happen to usually be, or one of my upper command staff is (all the info for the D.Net teamspeak server is posted) almost every night .
Sooooo, I have restarted the server. I've also reviewed Bonks instructions, and I'm going to contact our own Max Torps to see if he feels comfortable doing some stuff ;)
Server is back up, sorry about the inconvenience, and remember - you CAN PM me. I get an email. I check email several times a day.
Regards.
Shouldn't if your on a comcast IP.
Send me a PM if you are getting the firewall message, and I'll see if I can track down anything on my end.
Regards,
i went through the how to guide but cant figure out how to do the port forwarding. im useing an actiontec dsl router/modem gt-704-wg.
i hope we can get it fixed, id like to play some dynaverse again.
i unfortunatly do not have a dmz option that im aware of. I also set up my firewall to to exception my game client. I did this befor when i had cable modem it wasnt to bad, but this dsl junk is being more difficult.
ok ok i found the porting options and my dmz option, attempting to log in. hooray :)
well its still telling me im behind a firewall. I double checked everything and still no joy. :-[
Whats with all the Heavy Metal out there on The Forge ;D
There I was just Hex flipping away in my Z-DWD. When Flywh331 showed up in a I-BBVz :o I think I scratched his #6 shield before his PPDs drove me off the map...... or was it all those fighters he dropped :rofl: ;D
Ok I tryed a complete and total re install with nothing but cd, then patched to 2552, then I ran OP+40, then I installed the Forge mission's. Started the game got to log in to forge server and bamm says I am Missing the StarfleetOP.exe file. Now I think to myself Hmmm.. that would be interesting cause to start the freaking game I need that file. So I try to play a campaing, Start it everything works fine, run thru a dozen missions no problems. So I try Dyna again, same freaking message Forge server has detected that you are missing critical file specifically StarFleetOP.exe
(INSERT LONG SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION)
Ok anyone what the hell am I doing wrong or can anyone mail me just the EXE file or anything at wits end here
