For some reason a new one hasn't been made yet. I've never made a megathread so bear with me.
(copy pasted from first thread)
[B]What the fuck is Ace of Spades and why should I care?[/B]
Ace of Spades is a Voxel powered Team-based CTF shooter with fully destructable/constructable procedurally generated terrain.That should sound fucking awesome enough to get you to play already. However, the voxel-ness of it does make the graphics a bit trippy (especially when looking at anything up close) so you might wanna take that into account if you get motion sick easily.
[B]Sounds cool, boss, where do I get it?[/B]
Well, the website was up yesterday when I found this gem but the servers seem to be overloaded right now.
The master server list (and the download for the game client) is currently on [url]http://www.ace-spades.com[/url]. Again, there is supposed to be a real website there (and there was one yesterday) but I guess this game really exploded in popularity and brought the servers down)
[B]Alright, I've downloaded all this shit, what do I do?[/B]
The first thing you're going to want to do is open the config.ini file and [B]change your name![/B] It's really annoying having about 20 deuces in a server. You can also change your resolution if you want, but this comes with an increased risk of weird graphics glitches. I don't think the game supports widescreen at this point so depending on your drivers your screen will either get streched out into a soupy looking thing or just have black bars on the sides.
*NOTE*
If you're operating on Windows Vista / 7 it won't let you save the config.ini file to the folder that it's in if you installed the game into program files. You're either going to have to save it to the desktop and paste it back to the Ace of Spades folder or open notepad as an administrator.
[B]What next?[/B]
From the website posted above, join a server. You [B]can't join a server by running client.exe[/B], you have to join it from the website. After that, you're in the game!

[B]Misc Notes:[/B]
-You can't move your own intel, nor does it ever return to your command point until the enemy captures it. Defend it well!
-The game is currently in Beta 0.54 More updates are expected to come out soon, but the game is currently very buggy
-There's a tumblr page with useful info, mods, funny stuff, etc over here : [url]http://aceofspadesgeneral.tumblr.com/[/url], as well as a blog with more serious business at [url]http://www.aceofspadesblog.com/[/url]
-http://www.upurload.com/file.php?nam...17792d726e.exe takes you to a neat utility that lets you favourite and join AoS servers.
- The (Official?) FP Steam group is here : [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/fpaos[/url]
-:siren::siren: IF YOU MAKE A SERVER MAKE SURE TO FORWARD PORT 32887, OTHERWISE, NO ONE CAN JOIN YOUR GAME :siren::siren:
-The Master Server list can be a bit iffy, if you're getting a cannot connect to server error, it's probably because a) The server owner didn't forward port 32887 or b) The server's actually full and the master server hasn't properly updated yet

It's a joke making fun of people who called Terraria a Minecraft rip-off

anyways I'm going to bed hopefully this thread starts getting more popular
Oh yeah, Ace of Spades. Good game. I remember playing it a lot, and too bad it has teamkilling, because some jerks overuse it. I remember we had a whole teamkilling round and some guy was trying to kick me later.
Played this for a couple of months but it got pretty old even after they added a new gun.
Might check it out again when they release another major update.

Someone made V2 back in April. It's 32 pages long.
I swear they wrote their own polygon rasterizer.
Haven't played this game in a while. I just want to find one server with no griefers.
Oh hey, I remember this game. I stopped playing this around the time the voxel cube size got smaller.
This is how I played AoS with my mods. Fuck yeah.

I'll pick this up again when they either A fix Firefox being unable to launch servers or B make an actual client
Blue 4 lyfe
The game isn't as bad as it was where teamkilling and griefing is concerned. People actually votekick people now. And the SMG can be a real game changer, especially in some of the custom maps. Its worth giving it another go.

uhh what mods are you using?
I can't help but find this game boring and repetive, really, there is nothing unique with it. You have guns and you can break blocks.
[QUOTE=jason3232;31468463]uhh what mods are you using?[/QUOTE]
I made the weapons, and I made the wooden cross with the dead player on it when you kill someone.

Isn't that awesome?
I honestly think the map editor ruined the game. I loved the randomly generated mountain maps, but I can't find any of those when I play it now.
It was a great game at the time, though.
Well, I was going to make a thread for this but I figure I would bump it.
The community is shit, but I feel like a private server with friends would be great fun.
The game has a lot of neat elements, and it runs smooth even with high pings.
Pretty fun for a free game.
