btw, could anyone help me on getting hexidecimal do decimal in C++? i could use that, writing color codes in decimal isnt fun. I assume you mean from user input, in which case use an std::istream of some kind and add the std::hex manipulator, e.g. unsigned value; std::cin << std::hex << value;

Does the same thing also happen with the scorelog.txt? I wonder if there's some sort of race condition causing the file to be written to twice. Only one of the entries will be updated correctly each time, so particularly in won_rounds.txt and won_matches.txt before fixing the problem be sure to fix...

Ladder Duplicates with Authentication

After adding Armathentication to the servers I admin, I've noticed that we have entries being duplicated in the ladder. Not like unauthenticated users and authenticated users having the same name, but actual duplicates. Here are a couple excerpts: 5.29999 N9\:\:Alpha@ 4.95724 c$\_dave@tron.nexusnine...

I don't know how many (if any) regular Nexus9 players frequent the forums and keep up with this thread, but I just recompiled the servers over the past couple days to add authentication support. This means you can now register and log in to protect your ladder score from others' tampering, as well a...

Who's idea was the new settings? Brake & new points system ftl imo It wasn't broken so don't fix it :( The new settings were my idea, as were the old ones. None of my settings revisions have ever been perfect, but I do believe that they improve each time. For instance, removing the boost, which...

if you dont want to make a map file, you also need to change SP_WIN_ZONE_MIN_ROUND_TIME 1 WIN_ZONE_MIN_ROUND_TIME 1 that will make it instant, WIN_ZONE_RANDOMNESS 0 sets the zone in the middle and WIN_ZONE_DEATHS 1 makes it a death zone I think what he's really looking for is (SP_)WIN_ZONE_MIN_LAST...

Hey Alpha! Because you are my hero, and I'm in love with the Team Gauntlet "Flag Fortress" map, I've dedicated a server to a variant of it. The server is called, well, FlagFortress. However, the cycle physics are approximately fort/sumo settings and not "no-rubber." But I wanted...

As the advertisement turns into a conversation about Alpha's grammar usage. Somehow I'm not surprised. Anyway... hi, I'm the host and one of the other admins. Been busy though, haven't been on in a while. And don't take the phrase "I'm the host" lightly. :P The connection Kiwi provides is...

Haha, interesting thing to take away from this, but okay, thanks. I was worried I had put too many parentheses in there. :P

However, I'd also post it here on the wiki.
Sure thing, thanks for the pointer.

Nexus9 Tron servers

Hello everyone. This is my first post on the forums, but some of you here might have encountered me in-game as N9::Alpha . Anyways, I'm here to shamelessly plug the two Tron servers we run, in case anyone's missed them in the server list or not been curious enough to join and start playing. Nexus9 D...
