Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
oh, thanks I have my own server for now, though, and as long as I don't actually own a copy of dom3...
It might be good to have more servers if the popularity goes ballistic like it did in dom2. Or maybe I should do an file-based server this time around. Maybe a job for Ruby... ON RAILS!!!

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
YAY MORE SERVERS!
I had a game startup page started but I was afraid of what user-created games could do to my servers. Games could run for months. Even if 1 game a week was started it could overload me if they were tcpip games that were up and waiting for logins 24/7
If run as PbEM games (maybe with a web page upload) then it might be better since the game could be done as a host-then-quit allowing me to spread out the load. But even then, users could create a lot of games. Not to mention the admin headaches of games created but never started, how to decide when to cleanup a game, etc.

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
Gandalf, I may have asked you before, but can't remember that I ever got an answer.. therefor:
Do you know Stars! Autohost.
It does that what you plan for Dom3 for the old Stars! game for years already. Might be possible to get the scripts and 'convert' them for the use with Dom3/Dom2 ...

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
I know of Stars! which is a favorite game of mine. I havent looked at the hosting scripts for it.
By the way, the Stars! usenet forum is rumbling with noise about an approved clone project. Im trying to stear them toward Shrapnel.

Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
Talk about great "Dominions community" customer service. I think that is very cool, Kris O. My first few MP games were on the Mose Hansen server, and it was very nice to see that available.
I can't wait for Dom 3, maybe several servers will be available for starting MP games. I can see Oct/Nov being very busy months for me - work, Dom3, little sleep, work, Dom3, little sleep, etc. |
