The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: The Hidden Guestbook
« on: January 12, 2016, 06:52:57 pm »
I know a GM or GMs would have done it.. curious to who tho. :p as It's basically OOC but it's in a really hidden area that you cant access "normally" (but not hard to get to if you want to get to it) so it's turned into a bit of an Easter egg for a few people it seems.

The Hydlaa Plaza / The Hidden Guestbook

I left a hidden guestbook as a joke on my occasional revisit to the world of Planeshift last April. To my amazement.. it's still there and lots of names have signed it but also the "room" has been decorated (and objects locked)... who did that? :p

In-Game Roleplay Events / Re: [GM] Seizure of the Red Crystal Den by order of the Octarch

The game will -never- reach it's peak again, which was around 2005/6 when you could get between 200-300 players online during weekends even without events.
Just have to watch this old video I made all those years ago to show how busy it was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuA5TlJPTXI
The forum is a ghost of itself too, Looking at the forum stats shows a sad decline (ignoring a few stats that got distored by spam bots).
In April 2006 you had 32 new topics and 247 posts in just 1 day.
In September 2015 you had 16 new topics and 183 posts for the entire month.
So as cliché as it sounds you have to treasure those who remain otherwise the game will be completely dead in 5 years time.

I occasionally look at the server stats page to see the current health of PS. It seems to have become stuck a month ago.

PlaneShift News and Rules / Re: Lets make PlaneShift Unreal

It's been a long long time.. correct me if I am wrong but Ojaveda isn't even in the correct location. It's just in a "temporary spot".
I know map creation/alteration is out of the scope of porting to the new engine.. but I would love the sewers to be redone.. so that they actually make sense. They don't follow to any relation to Hydlaa above. They were made before the Library zone or Bronze Doors were made.. so the sewers don't actually go underneath those parts of Hydlaa. Would be quite a cool way to break into the bronze doors region.. some pick locked gates in the sewers.

*Miadon remembers the last full wipe*
(No one left then as it was just an accepted fact that there would be wipes. Been so long ago now that I think people forgot about it. Also so few people play now compared to back then. That unless the data is really corrupt it really doesn't matter too much about a couple of bugged level gains here and there.)
Anyway interesting to hear of this future game engine change. Do wonder about Hydlaa Maps.. will they be merged into one region. Will People be able to see the Winch from the tower?

MAKE THE GAME FULLY OPEN SOURCE!
and that's been my opinion for years..
The problem is the game is years old now and although a lot has changed, a lot hasn't.
Personally I don't think Planeshift will ever go back to the days of 200-300 people online at once.. unless something radical happens..
Graph from Dec 2011-Nov 2012
Graph from Nov 2012-Oct 2013
The amount of new accounts is ever decreasing due to the fact that there are now far more free/better games avalible and the fact that PS is years old now many people already have opinions on it.

Linux Specific Issues / Re: game fails to start after install (errors include iSoundManager, XOpenIM)
« on: November 06, 2012, 12:51:10 pm »
I would say get a real graphics card as that would very likely solve the issue.... but as it's a laptop you can't.
so can't really help there sadly. :/

The main point of virus scanners on OSX/Linux is to scan for windows viruses. Although a windows virus wont do anything on OSX/Linux it can still carry windows viruses from downloads or placement of a memory stick in an infected system.

do
import -silent -window "PlaneShift Arcane Chrysalis (0.5.9.2) [Miadon Watec]" -resize 320x240 /var/www/htdocs/webcam.jpeg

« on: November 02, 2012, 07:02:43 pm »Miadon once used a self-built client to make "live" images for his signature. Long ago.
It was just a simple Linux shell script, using ImageMagik to take a screenshot of the PS window in a infinite loop that took a snapshot every 5 seconds and saved it to my /var/www/htdocs folder. Just 5 lines of code, and apache required for it to work.
