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

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;35085732]Yeah, I'm going to have to get to making more land. Would a little ocean, plus a little of region like what we have now, plus some mountains off to the side work?[/QUOTE] Sounds good to me. Would be nice if the regions oceans were connected too. [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Hattiwatti;35085731]If your city keeps disappearing, stop playing and wait a while, then restore it from Dropbox's site and try again. This game was not meant to be multiplayer and it really doesn't help when we have many people playing and overwriting save files.[/QUOTE] I have base save (just the named city) in a backup. I'll try putting it in later. [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] Even when I upload my backed up city into the dropbox it still disapears. Do I have to remove the big ocean void that exists in its location before I can do it? If so, how do I know which one it is?

[img]http://localhostr.com/file/RAF69UY/Untitled.png[/img] You guys keep saying "Who is deleting my city". Nobody is. That's a fault with how we do this.

Save early, save often, and if the file gets corrupt revert it in the Dropbox interface.

I'm gonna start working on the regional extensions. I'm going to use a backup of the current region, so once I am done you're going to need to import your cities into the "new" region.

Furbrain, what did you do to get Peacedale back up? I'm sorta oblivious and generally stupid at this sort of thing.

That's a fault with how we do this.[/QUOTE] my idea on how to combat this: when you load up a city rename your town as "RUNNING, DO NOT TOUCH ME OR NEIGHBORS" or something and then save, then when you're done playing you change the name back. (and save again duh)

New Arkhangel'sk is on the map, :P having RCI problems

So is everybody. Basically, RCI problems have plagued pretty much every collab and no matter how hard we try we always have them so we've basically just given up trying to fix them.

I really love this game plus with this multiplayer makes it more fun, I would like to help out by offering an FTP server to be used with FTPbox, if you like this idea just posts some comments if you want me to do this, I own a website [URL="http://boavanet.com"]BoavaNet[/URL]

[QUOTE=trotskygrad;35087247]I'm also out of land almost completely[/QUOTE] How did your city get gigantic so fast? [editline]10th March 2012[/editline] and what happened to port lowe?

[editline]10th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=trotskygrad;35087247]I'm also out of land almost completely[/QUOTE] Working on it, but I'm not really liking how it's turning out. Sneak peak: [img]http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4138/regionshot1.png[/img] Completely WIP nothing is final don't hurt me.

Special thanks to my bro jin for helping me FINALLY get my city back!

Well guys, time for democracy to reign supreme once more! [highlight]Vote [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] if you are ok with the project switching over to the FTPBox that BoavaNet has offered us. Vote [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] if you'd rather stay with the Dropbox or want another alternative (please say the alternative you want if you want one, though).[/highlight]

[QUOTE=OvB;35086687]Furbrain, what did you do to get Peacedale back up? I'm sorta oblivious and generally stupid at this sort of thing.[/QUOTE] I waited 30 min and plopped a backup save from earlier into my regions folder

Hey guys, I'm making a gigantic ocean in the northeastern part of the map. Do you guys want me to throw a couple of islands in or do you want just plain ol' ocean?

Islands!

Islands. Oceans are useless, we need space.

Ok, since I'm pretty sure that nobody is going to object to switching to FTPBox, I'm finalizing the decision. [highlight]We are switching to FTPBox hopefully by the end of Sunday 11/3. PM Boavanet to get your account information set up.[/highlight]

Ocean, let people tailor islands to their needs. So how does FTPBox work, like dropbox?

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;35088104]Ocean, let people tailor islands to their needs. So how does FTPBox work, like dropbox?[/QUOTE] Basically, yeah. Ok, new vote: what should I do with the ocean in the Northwest corner of the map? [highlight]Vote [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] if you want just plain ocean without any islands. Vote [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] if you want ocean with islands scattered about.[/highlight]

So what information do I send to boava? there's no account creation thing, just Host, username and password.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;35088157]So what information do I send to boava? there's no account creation thing, just Host, username and password.[/QUOTE] Username and password methinks. If you're still not sure, you could ask him. Realize that we still haven't switched to FTPBox yet. Feel free to still use the Dropbox since you can import the cities to the new region anyhow.

I don't know...how to use FTP box?

[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;35088280]I don't know...how to use FTP box?[/QUOTE] It's basically the same thing as Dropbox except it is hosted locally instead of being hosted on the Dropbox website.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;35088345]It's basically the same thing as Dropbox except it is hosted locally instead of being hosted on the Dropbox website.[/QUOTE] Ah okay...when are we making the change?

[QUOTE=VengfulSoldier;35088394]Ah okay...when are we making the change?[/QUOTE] Later on today, hopefully.

I will post a video on how to use FTP box to work with your game [editline]11th March 2012[/editline] [video=youtube;ob7LUH2LvD8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob7LUH2LvD8[/video]

Well, it's not exactly beautiful or geographically accurate, but I finished most of the region. Feel free to completely tear both the region and me a new one: [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/108/fotoregional01.png[/img] [img]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5138/fotoregional02.png[/img]
