I think it's on Alpha 16 now - with 17 due out in July apparently.

I think we still have the old server archived but I imagine a fresh start would be most appealing - or would it? We certainly got to the point where there was little challenge as our bases and weapons could withstand a daily horde.

I'd be happy to start fresh or restart where we left off if people couldn't face a rebuild. Happy to go with the consensus.

I would definitely prefer a fresh start.

Cool.

What are the chances of us spinning up a new server for tonight? :norty:

I'm up for that. I liked the last run we had.

I also think The Forest deserves a trial. Also perhaps we should try SC 3.2.0 as a group.

what is SC3.2.0???

Post by: Chaosphere on June 21, 2018, 05:52:43 PM
I believe Albert is referencing the most recent Star Citizen Alpha build. I would be up for a test run at least, perhaps we could schedule a date/time for that though?

It's a survival, crafting game with a horde every 7 days.
Title: Server up
Post by: OldBloke on June 22, 2018, 07:24:06 AM
We have a new server up and running. Details here (https://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3363-Server-Password).

Armitage has been banging on about this now saying how good it's got with the latest V17 update.

I don't know how hard it is to spin up the server but I think we have everything in place.

Are we able to start a new map with the updated version and give it a go?

I have been playing on a local server for the last couple of weeks and enjoying the new changes.  they have changed crafting anf added vehicals since the lat time i played.

But Mr Admin if we start a server can we pause time while there is no one online.

That thread doesn't say what the parameter is that needs set and I can't see it in the server config page https://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Server

I was looking at Arm's

Player count == 0 == time stopped
Player count >= 1 == time passes

but as you say I can't see the option.

Hmm not sure. Perhaps it's just not doable in multiplayer.
Title: Revisit?
Post by: Armitage on March 05, 2019, 10:20:50 PM
it may auto pause.  i have found some people saying that online.  I am on now and I'll log on first thing see if time keeps ticking.
Title: Revisit?
Post by: Armitage on March 06, 2019, 11:37:34 AM
It auto pauses, so ignore that request :)

But could you edit the server settings a bit for me. I would like the days to be 120 minutes. Loot respawn to 7 days and show drops on map.

Cheers Whitey :)

Post by: Penfold on March 06, 2019, 01:59:22 PM
What’s the default?

We’ve never set drops to show on the map which encourages rushing outside when you hear a plane to plot the drop. Not adverse to it but perhaps we need to discuss ?

Is the server up ?
Title: Revisit?
Post by: Armitage on March 06, 2019, 03:12:49 PM
Yep.  server is up.

The drops aren't game changing (normally a low quality weapon and some cans of food that will try and kill you) and not worth hunting down. but if they are marked on the map are worth a detour if you are passing.

Post by: BrotherTobious on March 06, 2019, 03:34:07 PM
and the details can be found?

In the Server thread.

One thing Whitey.  Not sure the server passworded

Ok, I've reached this lovely farm, and to my surprise an "unknown players" bedroll is inside of it! Who have I stumbled upon? I've placed my bedroll down too so please don't destroy :D

Could be a random pubbie

We really need to get a password up Whitey if possible please.

Whilst you're in there, can we please amend the day/night cycle to make the day longer / night shorter. Kinda boring hunkered down for 20 mins over night time.

Do we have the settings from the previous incarnation?

The other things we discussed to amend if possible please:

Can we you please make drops more regular (daily) i.e. 24 hours instead of 72 but not marked on the map and reduce the respawn time for loot.

[FONT=&]ServerPassword [/FONT]
LootRespawnDays 7
[FONT=&]AirDropFrequency 24

Thanks.

i believe we had the same time cycle in Ark was it 30 mins real world day, 10 mins night or whatever code that equates to in game
Title: Revisit?
Post by: Armitage on March 08, 2019, 10:24:35 AM
I still think 120 minute day cycle with night ending at 2.00 works well.  Gives more chance to get things done and slows the rate of 7th night
