Clients released

Bestark has released a client for Space Tyrant. This client is aimed at those users who don’t like the telnet interface. Download it here

Also Artemis has released a fancy GUI client for TLR. Still a bit buggy (sorry Art, I crashed it within 10 minutes!) but it has a lot of advanced features… Download it here
I just have to work out how to get a screenshot or two 😉

Here’s the official announcements

Subject: Space Tyrant                                                    

For those interested in trying out Space Tyrant, but don't care about telnet
an experimental client is available which will allow players used to a browser
a way to play from windows based machines with a clickable interface.
A zip file of the program with source can be downloaded from here:
http://pages.videotron.com/sst/wintyrant.zip, just unzip the exe into a folder
and run.  Client basically provides buttons to click for most operations
so you don't need to learn all the telnet commands to play the game.

I have a new TLR client that is available for download. I am still updating
it, but most all the features should be working. There is no documentation for
it at this time, but it is pretty straight forward to use. One thing I might
mention, is that you must turn off hotkeys in game for it to work. 
you can download it here. http://home.insightbb.com/~jmjones/Art100906.zip
Let me know if you find any major bugs..

I had better apologise to Amber, I seem to have jinxed her team this round… even though one of her teammates was 1st.

Caution: Don’t operate heavy equipment!

Not sure how many people noticed, but this site has been unavailable for a couple of days.

I had been neglecting the maintenance of my Linux server for a couple of months, and accidenly screwed the entire server while trying to catch up… I accidently selected too many additional packages, and while attempting to unselect them I somehow managed to uninstall some major packages (apache, mysql, sshd just to name a few).

I’ve recenly been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, so I’m blaming this mistake on my lack of sleep and short attention span…

Now what was I talking about again?

Rankings from Round 7 of TLR

That’s it for round 7… didn’t play much this round, and by the look of it we’re still suffering from player attrition 🙁
However, taking a closer look at the scores, it looks like the level of competition has been lifted again!

Too quiet?

Wow, almost a month has gone by, and nothing seems to be going on?

TLR – I’ve barely been able to find time to log a ship in for the current round. The way the round started left my ship in an exposed situation. I was the first ship to log in for the new round, and my ship started off in the 240K region… Not really a problem, until I realised I was outside of the ‘known’ universe size… this meant that the elevators, transport booths etc wouldnt work for me!

NUMBER 52 also reported a navigation bug they found in galaxy #20. Not much info to go on, but I think I found what they’re referring to… If you try to generate an autopilot path from the top half of that galaxy back to the lower part you’ll get kicked out of the game! The weird part of this bug is that your ship remains logged in without any time usage penalty? I was able to duplicate the bug from several different computers & operating systems and in other galaxies too…

SST – Situation normal… it looks like a lot of old farms are being raided… by indies of course.

RL – I’ve been out of commision for the last month with the flu… which is part of the reason I’ve been having trouble finding time to log into TLR.

Comments upgrade

I’m starting to get some feedback on this site, which is great considering it’s not widely publicised.

Being an admin here means I have a dashboard control that shows me all the recent comments that have been posted… but there was no such tool for site visitors.

So I’ve added a new tool to the sidebar, that will show the top 5 articles which have received comments. The number of comments, and who has posted comments is also shown. The color of the poster is suppose to represent the ‘age’ of the comment: Darker colors are recent posts, and the lighter colors are older post.

Enjoy,
KRY
