school-only network

[Z-Man]

I'm setting up a master just now. The game itself basically is just a regular build with that master set as the only one and can be done any time. If the whole thing should be armathentication secured so that only the registered students can play and chat (watching silently can't be prevented reliably), then the settings for that can also get into the server default configuration. But the student registration armathority needs to exist first.

Oh yeah, in case you want a rebranding, new title screen and/or new name, that's your job, too

But the student registration armathority needs to exist first.

i presume you are talking about the equivalent of this forum?
would the registration of a wordpress page suffice?
or
i could buy a domain name and set up a very basic site
anyone interested in doing this
since my sites have one design principle:
minimal black and white
and this will not be that appealing to kids

wrt name etc
i was thinking of tronscool
or just plain tronschool
though i liked the idea of tronic-something-or-other
tronicfortress maybe?
since plain old tronic is gone

whatever is decided
i think ed might create a splash screen
and i would like to use his bikes
and introduce them as a version between the film versions

it's all very low key with only a few school trials at this stage
but i think it is wise to set up the potential
to make scalability unproblematic
so thanks

So Dada.

I think that's a great idea, 2020. Glad to see you guys are trying hard to get my favorite game into schools (:. Next step is the USA. >.>

i was wanting to write an update
report the current state of play
and wanted to write it up at play fortress blog
and finally worked it out:
tron school - first month

[Z-Man]

Oh right. I guess with 0.2.8.3 out, it's time to build a specialized client. Really would help to have a finalized name and a title page.

[2020]

ok
i'll bump ed

we can use his current page for now
which conveniently doesn't have the word tron on it

where i can link to floor textures and bike textures?
the wiki doesn't seem to have a library
and the floor i was going to send doesn't attach...

[2020]

trying the floor again

[Z-Man]

Hmm, I guess I can make floor_a and floor_b from that floor texture, and turn that bike texture into a proper power of two thing. But what cycle.ase does it belong to?
Edit: ah, ed's v3, obviously.
Is there a particular reason the fortress markings don't fill the whole floor texture? I have to set grid_size to 600 to make them fit. Also, floor_red/green/blue should all go to 1, I presume?
Do you want the whole thing fortress branded? Including default game mode fortress, as useless as it is for games against the AI? With the fortress and total arena size 500 specific floor?

[2020]

sorry
z-man
i just play the game
and deal with the player social self-organising side...

i've attached a zip file of my movie pack
hope that makes it all clear

i use ed's bike v3 i guess
and someone's floor
can't remember who
but it works well
and it covers fortress settings perfectly

update about ed:
he says he's been busy and will produce a splash today

[Z-Man]

Unsurprisingly, the floor is also by ed

[Lackadaisical]

It's a different ed though (floor was made by Crazy Tronners/flower power ed while the cycle was made by cycle-models edd)

[Z-Man]

Yeah, those two should totally merge into one to stop us from getting confused.

[Word]

they need the same avatar

[2020]

what confuses me is
the guy who did the bike is called
edmund
and signs himself off as ed
and yet on this forum
everyone has him swapped with others...

ed hasn't finished his splash page
he says tomorrow
