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

[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;34986881]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.)[/QUOTE] Only issue with FTPBox is that it isn't free; it's a paid service. Unfortunately, I don't really have the means of paying however much money it costs to keep one up. Unless someone else want to host that, we can't use it. [QUOTE=Crisis;34988694]Just an idea - we could make the plugins folder shared as well, so everyone has the same mods.[/QUOTE] If you guys want to, then sure! First we need to establish which mods we'll all be using, besides NAM of course. [QUOTE=VistaPOWA;34991370]You can set the VCS to do periodical commits. 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.[/QUOTE] I'll look into this since I'm going to be looking around for Dropbox alternatives anyhow. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Can always setup a shared network drive.

I need some help with my city's financial crisis becuase I'm tired of having to obliterate one city after another for financial problems.

And now people are adding/deleting files. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] We really need something else than Dropbox.

my island is the only survivor

I need to restore everything in the box now. Please do NOT touch anything.

[b]The fuck.[/b] I promise you, it was not intentional. I couldn't get it to work and somehow I have fucked everything up. I can't apologise enough. Edit: I have no fucking clue how I managed this? Either way, I have a copy of the region if it is needed. Christ I'm a moron.

Okay nevermind I just saw your post. But how did you do that anyway?

Restore anything that was removed 10 minutes ago or so.

Ok bad news and good news. Bad news is that there are still spots missing. Good news is that you can play it now, but do NOT use the places that are missing; I'm filling them in. Also, because of David's little "mistake," I got rid of a bunch of waste memory, so we actually have more memory now. [QUOTE=David29;34993187][b]The fuck.[/b] I promise you, it was not intentional.

saving dallspum [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] is it alright to save dallspum, actually? It's a island, so...

I assure you though, I have better things to to do than childishly delete people's work "for teh lulz".
