Gamespy and 3.6
on: January 13, 2004, 02:41:10 am
Did anything ever get concretely sorted out with GS? Because it strikes me that 3.6, with its expected bug-freeness, would be the ideal starting point for any more serious relationship with GS. We've pretty much established they're not the evil corporate monster people were making them out to be a few months ago, and if that little bit of bad relations didn't destroy any chance we had of getting increased and more direct support, I think we should jump at the chance we have now (or will have soon), to present them with a cohesive product with immediately noticeable improvements. So, err, is anything still happening with them? Or could/should it be?

My correspondence with GS (and specifically, Fileplanet) has been on pause while waiting for 3.6 to be finalised. So, things are still happening with them, pending build which is stable enough to put to the public. Errr, the public public. :)

I've got the whole package together on my hard drive, and the installer script is all finished up.

When 3.6 comes out all I have to do is throw in the official 3.6 SCP executable and readme (I've only got an early version of the 3.6 readme from the summer), and throw in the latest media VP available, and put in the latest latest launcher.

When the package gets installed it will create links to online resources like the Wiki, the scp, hlp, freespace watch, volition watch archives so that people can see all the resources available. I think the only thing to add would be a link to the HLP forum to show people the mods in development.

That's won't take long at all, and I can put the package up for download from the ftp almost immediately.

Cheers!

Fractux, can you also add a link to the FS2 section on the Moddb?

Make sure any readme stuff for the launcher is a link to or a copy of my webpage on it. If any data on it is out of date or (just plain wrong as I have seen before) I will get the blame.

may I suggest you to ask to Gamespy for a dedicated server or two for FSO?
Probably they will be not very used, but...who knows...
and as soon as some mods are released (I choose one absolutely randomly, the SW conversion:p) they may become useful to attract players...
They may become in future a start for a new squadwar for example (*coff*coff* persistent variables in multiplayer *coff*coff*), and GS may be interested in giving this possibility to their subscribers

Try and make it all for non-suscribers.  It's kind of against the point of having and open source program.  Don't turn it into a business.  >.<

SCP will always stay free. The gamespy thing will be an alternative download, never a replacement.

And once the multi code is properly done, i'm sure someone will set up a server. It doesn't really need to be good. Just needs to handle some chat and store the stats, so getting one is pretty easy.

So will the Fractux's install be avalable to download for everyone? And not only for the subscribers?

Yes.


Gamespy cannot make it a subscriber only thing, due to a provision in the source code license. This has all been discussed, do a search for the first gamespy thread.
