you can also build the original 1.1.7 for Windows if you're bored enough

My notes on:
asss 1.1.8pre built at Apr 27 2004 17:06:50 (catids)

Issues:
- non-ssc biller won't work (according to Dr Brain)
- user guide doesn't have all possible commands in release.
- MySQL module didn't seem to work:
"Unrecoverable error (5): Error in loading module 'database:mysql'"
(MySQL 4.0+ server running locally, and have logged in using MySQL clients and everything was fine auth wise.) {works fine w/ explody's page distribution asss 1.1.3} {it should use: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `dbname`.`tblname`...}

- User guide is missing commands that are possible to use

- doesnt support .39pr, claiming "its not a release" (but i doubt priit will ever finish a .39, and the pr fixes bugs, thats why it -was- released.. it should support it.)

edit:
- ?prize -# gives the player some massive bty like 7000 or more..
- ?shipreset doesnt reset a player's ship :/ ?? (i am a sysop, this should be a 'given privilage' by default, if i'm missing it...)

maybe these are "user" errors... but.... yeah

... fun stuff

Grel told me something like it is just a matter of a simple modification and recompile to allow .39pre's

then it should have been done a while ago, yes?

the original SS biller worked fine with ASSS the last time I checked. It seems newer billers such as TGS' won't work for some reason.

True but not everyone has access to a SSC biller :/... anyways, I am still wondering if anyone would be kind to compile 1.7 (?) for windows.. as the one on explody's page i believe was b4 the lag coma was fixed; and catid's doesnt seem to run correctly w/ MySQL modules enabled...

Lag coma isn't completly fixed, as anyone in Hyperspace will tell you, it just doesn't effect anywhere near as much as before. Seems to only effect people very rarely, and only in arenas with 30 or more people.

Well even so, a newer update/build for windows would be nice to keep the version systems concurrent.

If you want any continuum client to be able to connect goto core.c and change:

if (p->type == T_CONT)
{
struct {
u8 type;
u16 contversion;
u32 checksum;
} pkt = { S2C_CONTVERSION, CVERSION_CONT, contchecksum };

net->SendToOne(p, (byte*)&pkt, sizeof(pkt), NET_RELIABLE);

lr.exechecksum = contchecksum;
lr.codechecksum = codechecksum;
}

to:

if (p->type == T_CONT)
{
lr.exechecksum = -1;
lr.codechecksum = -1;
}

it might be bad for security... but letting in VIE clients in is worse so there's more gain than loss.

Once again, you'd need to compile it... anyone would like to provide instructions, then submit them to grel to update the dev guide on how to do this..

and to myke's post, ill try it again and see

use catid's build and remove any projects that are giving you trouble (mysql if you dont have it installed ect.)

CypherJF - Mon Jun 21, 2004 12:28 am
Post subject:

Catid's release is okay... but I think it'd be better to use releases from Grel.; plus the projects are saved in VS.net which I don't want to install... I'm sure I could convert it over to VS 6.0; meh.. i'll get around to futzing w/ the stuff later this week...

Last time I checked I couldn't get subbill or Catid's biller to work (the TCP biller protocol does work though).

Commands missing? Add them to the guide or to the correct places in the source files. Some commands may not have any help because they 'stealthed' so people can't mess stuff up.

What about ?prize #-?

?shipreset: If you don't know about the permission system maybe you should try stuff out and see what happens?

I don't think Grelminar will release a windows build as loads of people will be running to him when it 'doesn't work'.

?brickwrite for example is missing from the user guide.

If you do ?prize #-10 it gives people like 7000..

I've been messin around w/ the perm. and I think I got it to work once... :/

prize -1 gives 7000 prizes too, and you can go to places otherwise inaccessible with ?send if you use characters that get converted into underscores. It's fun to ?send cant_get_here because even if people select it from esc-a they go to cantgethere

CypherJF - Tue Jul 27, 2004 9:19 pm
Post subject:

Yeah; the prize thing needs fix0red... and that's funny about the ?send LOL...

Post subject:

its actually quite handy. Mervs can go there if you set it to their starting arena, otherwise the checking takes hold and says the arena is invalid.

Bak - Thu Jul 29, 2004 8:00 pm
Post subject:

or you can just do ?send without any paramenters and they go to arena "" which doesn't even show up in esc + a.
