The permanet game i.e. Zone Game on Solap is for CC08 core testing and unless you have approrpiate software it will not work for you. Simply make a new game and choose CC07.

Once I check with my compadres about the status of CC08 version I will update you further. Now get your ass in game

OK both Planet and Solap are up atm, GPZ didn't come up auto we need G,P, or Z to bring it up manually.

Server admin update

- We should have new maps sittting in my inbox
- Update for the game servers are ready
Im going to hold off 24 hours or until TE says before updates go live on Solap

I just KNEW the threat of driving up and being in the same room would motivate him. Everyone praise me

MrChaos

edit: mentioned wrong update

Why didn't you set up new server with a old database, test it and gone live if testing succeeded...

Hm that reminds me I should change my location.
I'm in Toronto now... and so are our servers. Add 30mins to your clock

I did. Thoroughly.
The problems I encountered were hardware-related not software...I couldn't test the interactions without having a 2nd set of identical hardware.
Plus, I'm surprised you'd think I wouldn't test before something like this!
I set up the new servers as VMs. The ASGS VM had a copy of the DB from October 2009, and testing went perfectly.

An example of an issue I was fighting with was the fact that things broke upon reboots. Once the box was rebooted it would not work any more... I'd need to re-install the hypervisor to boot again which would work until the next reboot. Rinse, lather, repeat.
At first I thought it was a software setting I made which was somehow incompatible with the hardware, so I would re-install and make fewer changes. Then fewer. When it got to the point that after a FRESH install, and doing a CLEAN reboot it was still happening I knew something was fishy...and I didn't have the time to figure out what it was.

Anyways. I've copied down the error messages I saw and will be researching the problems and the specific error messages thoroughly before attempting this again.

I though you brought the new hardware, so why isn't that server at home for testing propose?

Anyway, you setting up the machine, no me... I should stop complaining.
