Better late than never… I missed the reset, so had to wait until the next round started before I could get the rankings.

What a quiet round!
Shadows took out the number one position, and his team was also the highest ranked (pretty easy if there’s no other teams!)

New poll: Which games are you active in?

Due to the popularity of the last poll, it’s time to start a new one!

Is there still any life in the SST/TLR community?

  • The number of new players in TLR seems to have dropped off quite a bit, and a lot of regular players have started to disappear.
  • I’ve lost access to the ELF history page again, so I’ve got no visibility into what’s happening over there. The message boards have been quiet lately.
  • As for TLF… there’s a lot of activity going on over there… ship hijacking, returning conquerors (sorry vets), delusional captains, kamikaze ships… the list goes on (and on)!

As another player pointed out, polls can be totally pointless… and exploited!
If you can vote more than once, DO IT!
If you can get an ex-player to vote, DO IT! (And get them to start playing again as well!)

Which games do you actively play in?

Version watch

The last article about the different tarballs got me thinking about which versions are running on the known game servers.

Game Version
TLR TLR 0.6.2
TLF SST 2.1.0t
ELF SST 2.1.0t

Now all we need is a list of what bugs/features exist in each version…

Finding SST/TLR tarballs

I’m hoping to find some time this festive season to rewrite parts of my client… turns out I’m not as clever as I thought I was, and the multiple thread approach I used actually causes my client to crash on a dual-core processor! 🙁

So I’m creating a virtual linux box to throw onto my laptop, and I’ve come to the point where I need to find the SST/TLR installer.

Finding SST isn’t a problem, librenix.com has a link to the tarball. However I’ve been unable to find an article there that has a link to the TLR tarball? Good thing I remember that Bestark emailed me the location earlier this year! (Thanks B!)

SST V1.8.5 7th December 2002
SST V2.1.0t 20th December 2005
TLR V0.5.9 26th February 2005

TLR Installer
[drain file 3 show]Version History[drain file 3 versions 10]
TLR Patches
[drain file 2 show]Version History[drain file 2 versions 10]

** Update 24-Dec-06 – I’ve been sent the binaries for TLR 0.6.0 & 0.6.1, with a note that Ray has approved their release! You’ll need to install TLR 0.5.9 and then replace the starocon & starinit files from the newer version.
** Update 14-Jan-07 – More bug fixes
** Update 5-Jan-08 – Fixed the download links… older versions hosted on this site are only available to registered users.
** Update 25-Mar-2008 – Bestark has combined the 0.6.2 binaries into a complete installation tarball.
** Update 14-Apr-2008 – Changed download plugin. This one adds version capabilities.

TLR-20061204-6W (TLR Round 10 Results)

Round 10 is over… and my arbitary round numbering system really isn’t cutting it anymore. I’d like to cater for getting results from the ELF training games (if their admin doesn’t mind), so from now on the results are going to be GAME-EndDate-Length. So these results are for TLR-20061204-6W!

Player numbers have dropped this round… come on guys, tell your friends and family about this great game!!!
Perhaps we need something longer than a 6 week game?

Artemis has once again taken the top spots… even with my lacklustre performance this round, our team still managed to do well? 😀

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

To:      ALL                     
From:    BESTARK                 
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..

New 800K universe with resorts

If you haven’t been playing for a while, now is the time to try out the game. Ray has just updated the game server code to a version which supports resorts of multiple sizes. This first game, a 42 day game, has the minimum size map that supports resorts, an 800K universe composed of 400K sectors and 400K rooms divided among 25 resorts.
Should be a lot easier to find those resorts. The new code also should make resets a lot more reliable than they have been in the past. I’m sure some have entered the game several days after a reset should have happened, and still got the reset in progress.

Be sure to check things out. The smaller map size should also make the game a little more responsive.
