Medic stop being a tease and share the goods with this honest guy.
(I have them somewhere but forgot which of my bookshelf full of storage contraptions actually holds it.; probably somewhere hovering around on a flashdrive :p)
Medic helped me out a lot, but I'm always working overtime these days and I'm too lazy to figure out how to extract serverside client mission .sqf files from this mess of packet traffic. So I'm hoping that someone does have the files I'm looking for. If you had them that would be epic - I'll be really grateful, owe you a favor and when I finish my current project I'll give you a shoutout in the intro.
You do realise that almost every server that has ZL running on it has to go to epic lengths to get a playerbase settled there right?
I disagree. I've seen servers with 2500 ping, hosted on some dude's laptop, attract 20 players within a couple hours of going up (and then promptly crashing). Epic lengths are gone to but that's in order to fund servers that can reliably host 30+ players without crashing - and I respect the considerable price tag of a big public server. But I also believe that the established ZL servers thrive
in spite of the idiocy and douchebaggery of their admins. They have banned hundreds, if not thousands, of good players, for stupid offenses, often just because some player killed an admin or escaped from an admin... and yet these servers continue to reach full capacity.
Servers in A2/OA are popular by natural selection, even if those serversided files are leaked (lol TCG security style) it isn't going to change a whole lot other than a few people sandboxing it for a while before the servers vanish due to lack of interest.
You're probably correct. But I actually do plan to host a real server, and more people might do the same were it easier to host a fully-functional ZL map. Also, I'm not personally planning to host another Zargabad Life server, the two big ones right now are enough for the player base. What I'm going to do is make something completely different, that totally changes the game and makes Island Life just look like CL with boats (which it basically is). I won't waste space discussing that here but PM me if you're interested.
What? Are people pissed about losing their Kontostad?
xD
Sucks to be some egomaniac with some sort of "It's mine and you can't use it!" complex.
Exactly. The Tranny Cum Guzzlers Island Life disclaimer, claiming ownership for a 2-gigabyte heap of content that was nearly all taken without credit from others, just screams "Hack us! Punish us!"
