Moving SQL Server...
- Posted on Sep 17 2001, 11:17:04 by Faustus
We will be moving the SQL server to a different machine today. This should hopefully make everything more stable, since we continue to have problems with our FreeBSD machine. The move will occur at 12:00 Noon CST, the entire network will be down during this time for at most an hour.


Update: SQL server has been moved
Knowledge Base
- Posted on Sep 16 2001, 16:20:46 by Faustus
The Knowledge Base is now online, which if you do not know is a great way for users to exchange information concerning Hardware / Driver problems and the solutions to fix them.



We encourage everyone, even if DarkSpace is working fine for you, to add your hardware and comments to the Knowledge Base. This allows us to identify those cards which have problems and those that do not have problems. In your comments be sure to include the Driver Version that you are using for your hardware.

Development Update
- Posted on Sep 14 2001, 16:19:07 by Faustus
Firstly, Servers will now automatically restart when there is a new version available. Every 30 minutes, they check our mirror server, if an update is available they give a 5 minute warning before restarting.



Rank Limits can now be specified in the server settings, meaning a maximum rank can be setup by whoever is running the server. Players of higher rank can still join, however their available ships is capped at the maximum rank. Players can still advance in rank, this does NOT limit your advancements. This was done to create newbie servers in which new players will not be overpowered by Dreadnaughts.



A distress system has been added, 'Control-H' will send out an 'Attacked' distress signal, 'Shift-H' will send out a 'Supply' distress signal. The 'H' key will target the last received distress signal. Planets will send out distress signals automatically when bombed or invaded.



Some important keys have changed...

Control-B Toggles point defenses

Control-D Self Destruct

Richard Lyle, Palestar's President and Lead Programmer, comments 'I am amazed at the level of fan support for DarkSpace. We have been able to detect several errors and game play issues with the assistance of our fan base during the last seven weeks of testing.'



Palestar continues to fine-tune the title as they consider their options for a new publisher for DarkSpace. The Austin-based developer envisions continuing the Beta for at least another few weeks.
