OSQC – delayed

Hello Community,
due to personal problems, a lot of work and my sport I was not able to finish the osqc web-interface yet. The current one isn’t coded either! Please send your save games to ottdcoop@ppcis.org.

Deadline for the #OSQC 01 is: 10 February 08

The next #osqc will be delayed and it is still not clarified which one it’ll be. Mucht is still coping with the flu and my scenario is only 15% done. Anyway, I want to show you a little teaser for the next scenario. I am really happy about the amount of participants at our very first round of #osqc.

The all new Public Server

Tonight we started the new Public Server which is provided by Phoenix the II. This is a great step and we might play bigger games on this server as well, because the specs are just frenzy:

  • CPU: Core 2 Duo 6600 (2.4 GHz)
  • Memory: 2048MB DDR2 1033MHz
  • HDD: 2x Seagate 250GB SATA2 in RAID1

You can reach the server via ps.openttdcoop.org and the default port (3979).

Of course the games might not be playable for people with older hardware, this includes also me, but of course the most of us can play until 700-1000 trains.I think it is still good and another server with a different concept will be launched soon.
The current game is a 1024×1024 map, which reminds me of Pile Transport. We didn’t load a trainset as we might focus on monorail.

Enjoy Playing!

Under the scope: Rivers in OpenTTD

Since r11926 OpenTTD supports rivers. Of course this is a very interesting feature which we should have a closer look at. OpenTTD doesn’t support rivers in the first place, you need Michael Blunck’s rivers.grf (in the download section). If you do not use this grf file, rivers will look like canals and the rapids will have grf glitches. You can only build rivers in the scenario editor.

#openttdcoop goes www.openttdcoop.org

Today we did another great step. We finally have our own top level domain www.openttdcoop.org. Our host Brianetta, who helped us doing this step, and the server ppcis.org stay the same.
I also want to thank TrueBrain for providing the nameserver.
All the members of #openttdcoop are provided with <name>@openttdcoop.org mail addresses.

Enjoy and keep on browsing!

p.s.: if you are using an RSS-Reader, you might update your rss feeds to reduce redirecting.

p.p.s.: (by dih) TB asked to credit his company, ISeeR, rather than him. For this we have added a link to our Blogroll, rather than just mentioning ISeeR in one little post 🙂

Promoting tneo to member
