[SC] Soldat Commander (v0.9 Beta 1) - Please lock

[Riax]

If all anyone is going to do is argue over this, I'll simply keep it to myself and the few people I would even consider hosting servers for.

To everyone who is reading this for the first time, you can thank nub and mikembm for helping me decide to discontinue the project.

To those of you who think this means you can take Beta 1, possibly modify it, change the name, and re-release it, I would think twice about doing that here. I know it'll probably happen on another website and/or message board, but let it be known that Soldat Commander is officially no longer available. I will continue to visit these forums into the future, and an attempt at stealing any of my code and releasing it as your own will not go unnoticed. Also, I'll leave the header of the file posted here for all to see, as it contains not only the terms of use, but also the copyright notice. Soldat Commander is the intellectual property of Simplexity Network.

To the few who were helping to test SC, I send my thanks. In the unlikely event that I decide to release a new version, you will be the first to know.

I respectfully request that this topic be locked as soon as possible.

:O Will this work at current dedicated version ?

Tested with: Soldat 1.3.1 Server v2.5.4

Hmm... I was testing this in one of my servers and it was lagging like hell. Many messages "Leo is flooding the server" and "Connection problem".

[Mikeman]

I tested it on my own server at my computer, worked fine. Nice work

I get many errors and server crashes when I use this:

I completely missed the "Additional Options" on the post page. Sorry about that. Is it ok if I simply attach the zip file? (I'll attach the script for now and change it if that's the case.)

I tested it on my own server at my computer, worked fine. Nice work  

Thanks. I've spent days making SC release-ready. If you have any suggestions for improvement (other than ones that I've listed in the to-do list), please post them. I've got a few good ideas of my own that'll probably make it in v1.0 Final, but telling you what they are would ruin all the fun.

Hmm... I was testing this in one of my servers and it was lagging like hell. Many messages "Leo is flooding the server" and "Connection problem".

That's strange; I've had connection problems on my server, but those turned out to be the result of DOS (which means Denial of Service, for those who don't know) attacks. Could you recreate those errors and post the contents of the server window? It might also help if you posted system specs for the machine you ran it on.

I think I know the culprit of all the errors containing '/setteam'. I'll go check it out.

EDIT: Ok, I believe I've fixed most of the errors. If you'd like, Leo, I can create a login on my server so that you can access the pre-releases directory. PM me with your desired username and password if you'd like to help test SC. This goes for anyone else as well, but it doesn't mean everyone can be testers. I'll decide who to give pre-release access to.

[Leo]

Ok, you have PM Btw, you could visit #lrs at quakenet. I am there most of the time.

Alright, then. Your account is active and you have access to the /SC/pre-releases/ directory on my server, which contains a pre-release of v0.9 Beta 2. I'll go install an IRC client here in a bit.

[Leo]

It seems to work without problems. However, personally, I need an auto-balance feature, without bots, before I shut down my ARSSE

[Avarax]

if you implement such autobalance, please make sure that the person is /killed after /setteaming (at least in survival mode)

[Leo]

Ok, found a bug I think. If I have an IP at "Members" and "AnnounceMembers=true" then I get this error at console: "07-03-14 13:17:18 

• Run-time error (OnJoinGame "      ServerMessage(ID,'Command code received. Standing by...')"): Out Of Range" and "(19:06:33) 
• Run-time error (AppOnIdle "   case ID of"): Exception: Type Mismatch

(19:06:34)

All links to pages hosted on my server were broken for a day or so. I'm sorry to inconvenience all of you, but school, friends, and family will always come before anything I do online, including Soldat scripting and server hosting. That being said, my server pretty much runs itself, and I rarely flip my KVM switch over to it unless there's a problem. In the past 3 days, my server has seen about 20 hours of uninterrupted downtime; this is, in fact, the most downtime it has seen PERIOD in the past year. About 3 days ago at somewhere between 1 and 2 in the morning, our power failed, and the notion that my server was probably down didn't cross my mind until around 10:30 that night.

I will continue to develop this script, but I will do so when and if I have the time. Writing scripts for Soldat is not my job; I have nothing of value in the real world to gain from it. So, updates to Soldat Commander will come, but there may be days, and possibly weeks, when what's happening in my real life will simply be more important than anything else. So, forgive me if there are breaks in development.

Just to illustrate my point, it is currently 2:23 AM where I am (GMT -5:00). I was out with friends until around 1:30 when we decided to call it a night. I have been awake for nearly 21 hours, and I need my sleep. Again, I apologize for the break in updates both developmental and informational, and any breaks I may take in the future. Contrary to popular belief, geeks can indeed have lives.

iT MAKES IT ALL GLUITCHY... LIKE PARACHUTES FALLING WHENEVER I MOVE AND KILL TRIGGERS MAKE MY HEAD FLY UP AND BOUNCE ON THE CEILING LIKE A BALL......!!!......!!!...?

[Riax]

iT MAKES IT ALL GLUITCHY... LIKE PARACHUTES FALLING WHENEVER I MOVE AND KILL TRIGGERS MAKE MY HEAD FLY UP AND BOUNCE ON THE CEILING LIKE A BALL......!!!......!!!...?

If there's one thing I hate more than people who type multiple exclamation points after a statement, it's people who type with caps lock turned on, as if having upper-case letters and lots of exclamation points will make their reply seem better or more valid in some way.

If you're going to complain to me about something in the script, I suggest you resubmit your reply with, at the very least, an attempt at using correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. That being said, from now on, I will respond to any and all replies to the topics I start that are typed in the manner as displayed above thusly: they will be either heavily scrutinized, as I've done with this one, or I'll ignore them altogether.


P.S. I have another pre-release version on its way for the testers. It'll be uploaded later today or early tomorrow.

Dude, you rock!

This looks really interesting. Interesting in a very good way.

[A] hey, that's a nice script you are running on your server, can you give it to me?
ok, but i have to ask the author first.
