Facepunch SC4 Collaboration v2. Now with insane cultists worshipping the void at the edge of town - Games

Is that where your city was?

Yes now can you all stop deleting my city file

[QUOTE=jordguitar;34986369]Yes now can you all stop deleting my city file[/QUOTE] Let me see if I can help...

[QUOTE=jordguitar;34984924]Dropbox limits accounts to the amount of data you can transfer in a short amount of time (usually around 10-25 GB) and the amount of data and constant updating and saving will cause that limit to be hit faster than you think. Wuala might work but I am not sure and I dont know if there is a limit on that (have not hit one in the past but they are owned by LaCie now). As long as their file system thing is installed it should work and the 2 gigs free should work just fine. also shameless referral link: [url]http://www.wuala.com/referral/AHGFHK33PGBN65AJ7N4A[/url] Also the promo code TRADED might still work not sure.[/QUOTE] weren't you the one who closed the fp wuala group for absolutely no reason not that i'm complaining i never used the thing

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;34986383]weren't you the one who closed the fp wuala group for absolutely no reason not that i'm complaining i never used the thing[/QUOTE] yes because no one used the damn thing now shush you

Ok, I [i]think[/i] I solved the issue. Try it now.

Now parts of the surrounding land got cut off. Nothing else is there but water. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] Also if someone can tell me how to put this damn thing into a window that would be nice. I already gave it the -w argument in a shortcut but it does nothing.

[QUOTE=jordguitar;34986414]Now parts of the surrounding land got cut off. Nothing else is there but water.[/QUOTE] Try loading another map and coming back. Sometimes the map glitches out when more than one person is editing at a time, but it reverts back. It also looks completely fine on my map.

who replaced everything with large gaps of water!?

Updated the OP with a few more Q&As, among other things. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=thisispain;34986546]who replaced everything with large gaps of water!?[/QUOTE] How ironic! I just put this one in the FAQ. [quote]Q: Sometimes random tiles turn to flat ocean. Is that a conflict? A: Once again, not necessarily. I've noticed that the map sometimes glitches out and places city tiles in wrong places, "deletes" others, etc. However, this is temporary and should dissipate if you load one map and load our map again. I'm not 100% sure on this, either, however...[/quote] Time to see if my theory actually works! :v: I'm logging off for now. If any of you guys want invites, I think other members of the collaboration can actually invite you, but I'm not 100% sure. Try it out, it'd make things a lot easier on me if you can.

You guys need to place ferry terminals and sea ports so we can get boats going.

i don't think this will ever work out

Is there a specific version we need to play this or does it not matter?

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;34986773]i don't think this will ever work out[/QUOTE] Dropbox really isn't meant for collaborative stuff like this, FTPBox was suggested in the last thread and I think that's a much better solution (You can do fine grain access controls, stop anybody else from modifying or deleting regions they don't own, etc.)

I wonder if this is possible to do with a version control system such as git or svn. They'd allow fine tuning what you can edit and what you can't.

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;34987637]I wonder if this is possible to do with a version control system such as git or svn. They'd allow fine tuning what you can edit and what you can't.[/QUOTE] Now that's not a bad idea at all.

Just an idea - we could make the plugins folder shared as well, so everyone has the same mods.

Asking permission to connect my city with "Twin Rivers", owned by "BBarnes005" I have some industry demand, but don't wanna ruin my beautiful city with it.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;34988122]Now that's not a bad idea at all.[/QUOTE] We only need a repository and an hour of everyone's time to configure the clients and teach them how to use them.

Sent you a PM [QUOTE=Crisis;34988694]Just an idea - we could make the plugins folder shared as well, so everyone has the same mods.[/QUOTE] I have a fuckton of plugins, I just have to sort out the cheats and give away the rest of them. [QUOTE=jordguitar;34986759]You guys need to place ferry terminals and sea ports so we can get boats going.[/QUOTE] Thissss this this

Just for future reference, I don't care if any of you guys connect to my cities.

Should we create a .txt in the dropbox just for notes and permissions and whatnot?

If someone makes a lot of edits to their city, and commits the changes to the repository, everyone else won't get those updates until they check out the latest revision of the region.

Also, the others will have to first check out, then they can commit. There won't be any conflicts, it'll just merge the 2 versions, leaving the changes intact. The main advantage of VCSs over Dropbox is that you can lock your own region file, making it impossible for the others to edit that. This way everyone can play at the same time, because the lock will disallow them from updating the surrounding other regions. One commits, the second guy checks out, merges and commits, third guy checks out, merges and commits, and this goes on until first guy has to commit again. You could do a cronjob (or whatever Windows uses) on every player's machine that would keep up this order of committing and checking out.

Guys, [b]MAKE LOCAL BACKUPS OF YOUR CITY[/B] This game was not made for this so this shit happens.
