Re: New engine please

@Monkey that sounds amazing. I will have to check it out for myself. :P I have some work projects that could benefit from that if it works well. Most of the time when I've looked at options like this, they require a lot of outdated software that I simply don't want to put together. Hopefully this on...

Re: New engine please

Monkey, I'm not gonna read through 6 pages of posts, but a quick Google search appears to show that this would allow exporting for mobile as well, yes? Would it require a second source, or can one source generate releases for x86, ARM, Android, iOS, etc? Firstly, that we shouldn't encourage too much...

Re: Donations

Glu, I sat here and wrote a big long explanation about why that wouldn't really work, and I may have just talked myself through how to make it work. Does anyone have a really good VPS host that runs low latency so I can look at pricing?

If you want to include it, I believe the package name is now libftgl-dev

Re: Donations

+1 to what sinewav said; I'd trust Light to look after/spend my donations. If you're happy with that Z-Man, could we not put a button on the Arma website for him? He should put one on his site too, but I definitely think the main site should have one as well. I have no problem donating to Light if ...

Re: Discord-based tournaments, discussion

Okay, so how can we be constructive about this? I have a little experience using bots from the irc days. You seem to have some experience with web-based things. Wouldn't it be possible to combine the two? The users interact with the system through discord using simple commands, such as "!regis...

Re: Discord-based tournaments, discussion

For the browser based approach, that sounds great and all but - realistically - it seems farther away than a discord bot. For the most part, it's a very basic database and a simple form. Both of which would be done in Discord as well. Both options need to be hosted somewhere and run 24/7, with many...

Re: Discord-based tournaments, discussion

I've thought about something similar, but I think a web-based approach would make more sense. Maybe a Discord bot could then just tie into it through an API, but user validation would require having your Discord name set up on your account or something of the sort. What a web-based option would prov...

Re: Anyone got a backup of ctwf maps/settings?

I kinda miss this server, so would like to host it on my laptop (yeah it's connected by wifi, so it will suck for everyone, still would like to play some of the fun maps every now and then, used to play WWwf when ct was down or unpopulated so would be similar I guess) If you can come up with the se...

I didn't realize this was an old thread, and didn't remember that I disagreed with it. xD It's funny because Discord basically runs my life now. I'm not gonna read through everything in this thread, but I will grant you the W. :)

Re: Moderator abuse by loc

You will need to speak to an admin or owner of the server. That's not something any of us on the forums handle. We have no control over the server itself, and we can only prevent the server or players from utilizing master servers, which would not be done in a case like this. Sorry for bad news, but...

Re: Armagetron Discord

Hi- I ran into some old friends recently and was invited to join the Discord AA group. Because im not that current, I didnt know Discord was a group voice chat server. So I didn't get a chance to thank them politely (anyway) and explain that I'm deaf. Wishing you guys all the best :) Discord provid...

Re: Forums updated

I really miss our custom theme. If fixing it is just a matter of someone giving it some time & attention, I'll be happy to see what I can do to help. It would require someone with access to the web server's files to put some time / attention into it. Really, it's not a huge process since it's u...

Re: More stats

I think it would be awsome, would motivate some players to keep coming back with a form of progression and some friendly competition. I would actually argue the opposite. When I had stats like this, it got a lot of people to avoid playing with anyone who was a challenge for them because they didn't...
