We'll play again whenever they are ready and done going through the worst bugs. Whenever that is nobody can tell since nobody knows. And nobody includes GM's, Devs and even God! :P

It has not been a week yet. don't fib.
and asking won't get it done any sooner.
relax, train up your herbal skills in the meantime, or read a book [my reccommendation: "The Alphabet of Manliness" by Maddox. Adult content, but a great read] & by the time you are done buying, reading & telling friends about it, maybe the new version will be ready, if not you cam always work on something for the fan art section... --or come up with a list of things for players to do while they wait for new version; like give book suggestions... fan art... or writing a list..........

Sneaky. You (momentarily) avoided karyuu's axe by putting a missleading topic title in.  Rule #1 in the forums is "don't ask when".

Luckily, when I asked he said only one to twp more days, so were are almost there.  ;)

Ooo, we got an update - updated ETA! whoot!   :woot:

It's not so bad waiting a little longer... I'm supprising myself with my productivity in these last days.  Here's a chalenge for all those "I can't wait"'s:  See how much you can get done before the update is released, the only rule is, you need to try and get PS off your mind! It may sound impossible, but let me tell you, it's much easier than "waiting".  ;)

I agree with Anne I've been reading a fair amount of sci-fi these past 5 days, doing some sketches and i have also done a few drafts of my characters background things that i find impossible to do when ps is up (oh and if i was to recomend a book it would be Idlewild if your into sci-fi thats is and on a finale note i hope the devs give me a couple more days my rig is seeing temps of 70c+ and 90c+ if i push it. it just needs some maintenance but i lost my artic silver :'()

Title: Re: Question.
Post by: Josellis on July 03, 2006, 12:43:46 pm
calm down, be patient ... I know, it is the answer everyone gives, but there is a reason to that. Because it is the only way.

Another thing you could to is contribute by posting in the forums or something (when I say posting in the forum, I mean constructive post, not spamming of complaints...)

Post by: Asmondeus on July 03, 2006, 01:43:46 pm
*sigh* I know its not appropriate to ask when it will finish or when it is due date since this is and OSS Game. but could you guys at least tell us how far has it done? I know that we all are waiting for it.. but it would be nice to know how far it is done in terms of percentage or anything.. just to indicate it. pls?

you have only been here a week, until you have experienced the ETA of an update being pushed back 6 months you have nothing to complain about. Would you rather crash every 5 minutes or get a functioning release?
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: Zan on July 03, 2006, 02:31:47 pm
Please anyone just make up a date ... just to put a stop to this endless whining :-\
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: ThomPhoenix on July 03, 2006, 02:43:48 pm
It'll be due in 2 months.
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: Asmondeus on July 03, 2006, 03:00:13 pm
lol.. i m not asking for a date.. all i m asking is how far has it been done... i m not rushing anything.. I just want to know. i m sure that everyone wants to know as well. I dont mind waiting but would really love to know the current progress. :)

Post by: mavrik on July 03, 2006, 03:19:03 pm
going by the modifications being made to the history.txt in the cvs I would say that they are up to fixing up the major bugs before they build and release the new client.
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: ThomPhoenix on July 03, 2006, 03:28:02 pm
It's not so much the code, but more the art that has to be put together.
I think when the teleporting bug was fixed, that was the latest really annoying and obvious bug in the code.

When you say 2 months do you mean that the sercver will be running in two months or steel blue will be out in 2 months???
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: mavrik on July 03, 2006, 03:41:23 pm
I heard the server will be back in 2 months, steel blue is at least 2 years away  ;D
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: Asmondeus on July 03, 2006, 04:36:15 pm
so basically.. no PS for 2 months?
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: Delsabor Nash on July 03, 2006, 05:01:15 pm
Some people act as if without PS that their life is only a shadow of what it once was, a shell where they do not enjoy anything and jus tsit there, dying from lack of ps. Give me a break, you dont NEEED it, your not DYING, and you know well enough that asking a million and one times is not making it go faster. Sure, i want to play it alot, its a fun game, but if i cant, theres plenty of thigns i could be doing.
Title: Re: Question.
Post by: neko kyouran on July 03, 2006, 05:07:52 pm
2 months was in sarcasm.

and for all those sooooooooooooo dying inside that they can't play PS.

Here (http://otc.dyndns.org/game/)

Go play that for a few days to tie you all over.  I believe its somehow PS related too.  Just don't recall how exactly.  I use it to keep me awake while at work myself.  And I'm so kicking Drey's arse in level.   :P

- Removed old unused speed variable from DR messages and optimized the packing of the velocity
  components.  We now send only non-zero velocity components over the network, and pack a bitfield
  indicating which ones before it.  This drastically lowers the average DR message size, as
  most of those numbers are zeros at any one instance.  Best estimate, assuming around 50% of the
  network trafic to be DR, is a 20% to 25% total network traffic reduction.  (by size)
  =>  NETVERSION BUMP

Have to say that this improvement by Mr.Garrett looks promising with regards to laaaag. 8)  Hoping ;)

All information has already been posted in the forums. It may take 1-2 more days. Please be patient and do something else in the meantime.

This has been said over and over and over and over and over. It won't change no matter how many times you ask or choose to ignore it.

Cut the crap, and cut the spam. If you need a place to whine in, go to IRC. Otherwise, keep your impatient little fingers off the forums.

Don't test my patience.
