Server Help

I dunno what your problem is.

If you cant say anything nice then shut your pre-pubescent mouth.

I dont know why you have such a mini hardon about my post.

Porting this game to the xbox is probbaly a fairly easy task considering the graphics, sounds and etc are already there in plain english.



Thanks!
Spooky

[Dustpuppy]

Graphics in English? Whatever next

Thanks!
Spooky

Thanks!

It cannot be done. Leave it at that.

Solo, be quiet, for God's sake. You made your point.

Ok here's a real answer:

You're proposing a direct port using existing servers. Ignoring issues with porting the code there's the problem of protocol. PriitK (the developer of Continuum) has created a new, more secure protocol just for Continuum, and no-one else has the encryption or protocol info.

Edit: what Brain said. Just take our word for it please

[Dr Brain]

Replied at the same time as Dust. He explained why it's impossible.

[Spooky]

oh man, you guys are such dorks....


Yeah graphics in plain english, plain text, mime, unicode, whatever the fuck you wanna say. There and ready to use, alot like your mother.

And Solo, i already answered your question, please read the prior posts for your answer.

Or get Dust to read the prior posts to you.

[Dustpuppy]

Damnit I was hoping I'd get to see you spin those facts and figures into action

Edit: did you even read what I said Spooky?

[Solo Ace]

Maybe we should hire Qndre for this great project.

Haha, fine I'll stop, I had to wait on something for a few minutes.
You have to admit this was a nice spamfest.

[Spooky]

Well as far as i am concerned the only problem is with the protocal.

A direct port is not really needed, just a gui to run over top of the protocol...

It is too bad that PriitK will not release the protocal info for the new continium though. Because other than those issues it would be an easy clone job.

[Solo Ace]

[Spooky]

So it's just the fact that no one has the skills or time/energy that PriitK has for figuring out the protocols that the new version of subspace runs on?

[Dustpuppy]

Granted it's not a particularly complex game, but it's still a lot of work. I don't know about developing for the XBox but I can't see a port happening at all. There was a Linux client underway but it was stopped due to (I think) a combination of lack of time and the introduction of Continuum.

[Spooky]

Yes, I was wondering if anyone could port this 8+ year old game to another platform....

And i belive you were one of the ones saying it could not be done....

And yes in the trash talk forum i was bringing a mother into it....

I never said i was not a dork though.

[Solo Ace]

Qndre does have the "skills".

No, he doesn't.
Probably someone has the skills, it would take too much time and it would be too much work.
If you'd read more on how well Continuum is secured and how hard it would be to break the encryption it uses, you'd understand one of the main reasons why your idea wouldn't work.

[Spooky]

And frankly i dont care if the game ported is an old copy of the subspace protocol or the new continiuum...

I just wanna play an old classic with network support without having to connect via live.

I dnt know what sort of new features this continium has, but when i played subspace back in the day it seems just fine to me.

I am sure you could find alot of users who would be willing to play an outdated version of subspace if it was on a console.

[Spooky]

Solo, all i ever said was i want a clone of subspace, my above post says, i dont care what version or how secure it is.

If i wasnt so lazy i might register so i could edit my posts.

Thanks!
Spooky

[Dustpuppy]

Heh if you played on a VIE protocol server you'd be up against 30 other ships with infinite energy and items and the ability to teleport at will.

I'm not saying it's not feasible, if someone was dedicated they could create another new protocol, but it just won't happen.

[Spooky]

Oh well...

Maybe PriitK will read this and find some minion to do it.

I found no prior posts anywhere about porting subspace to the xbox.

Considering this game is hacked, and the xbox is one of the most hacked consoles of all time i thought it would be a nice combination.

Well thanks for your feedback guys

Quickest 45 post topic i've ever started.

[Spooky]

44....

[Spooky]

After you have ported SS, Please consider porting Legend Of The Red Dragon

[D1st0rt]

Oh man this is funny

[EdTheInvincible]

wow. nice spamming, server help.
why dont you actually tell the loser how to do it?
just get linux up and running on the xbox and use it to host a windows guest operating system in a VM, and run continuum inside that.
piece of cake :)
