I almost said that I thought they were all from the same person. Then I saw the last one was Cecil.

Also, we do need those meteors. That sounds flipping awesome.

EDIT: Hmm...3D sound might be interesting to implement. Imagine hearing the far away blasts of lasers, meteors crashing into the other end of the station, ect. BYOND has a really interesting sound system, doesn't seem like it'd be very difficult to implement. I might take a shot at it on my copy of BS12.

crrrasshhhh

Shutdown.  Have to go for a bit, can't leave the server up like usual.  Will bring it up when I can.

Well, this started as hosting a local LAN game for my friends and I.. but I really decided I like SS13. The graphics are a but less-than-luster... but its darned cool.

Last night i was pouring plasma into a turbine thing and igniting an engine to create power by flipping valves. I like that.

I was just trying to put myself out there because I've got a good rack server I don't really use anymore, and I've got
a pretty-much steady 2Mb/s upload speed. (Used to be like 300Kb/s.. in the last year its gotten awesome hehe) that,
from what I've read, is more than able to host a strong server.

I'm not trying to steal anyone's code.. as I'm not a developer and dont plan on doing such.. nor do I really talk to people
anymore (live alone.. ), so it wouldn't hurt me to host for you guys.

I'm pretty sure we know that you mean well, but, for a wide range of good and stupid reasons, it's just not going to happen. There's just a sense of reluctance to give anyone the code on the part of the people who do have the code that's been around for as long as the code.

[quinnr]

Then don't give him the code.
Give him the compiled binaries.

I see no reason not to turn down a host with a 24/7 server.
If you really wanted to, make a binary with host powers disabled.
Or an old binary.

But I don't really see why not. Looking for a BYOND decompiler seems difficult, and if we believe that he isn't a dev who wants to steal our code, then it shouldn't matter even if it was decompileable.

[westsider_gw]

:\ asked this before on a Goon server and they didnt seem to think that was possible.
They kept saying that you couldnt have a game without having the source right beside it.

From what I can tell, you can compile standalone binaries in BYOND's dream thingy.

[head]

I know Data did for his ss13 crap

[zchris13]

We can do it, except at least one person thinks that doing so will open us to potential liscense issues.

[thobal]

why would you need the source to run a complied binary? it would just sit there unless.... No, I cant think of any reason unless for some inexplicable reason someone left a bunch of config settings inside the source and the complied program literally used the source as extra storage space.

Granted this is coming from one c++ class and some SQL, but that just seems insane.

I also aced legalese at Valley-Girl State. So where license, I will read it.

It's telling me I have a 10.2 MB/s upload speed...
I might be able to do a 24/7 host, if it doesn't take up too much of my bandwith.

[quinnr]

Sukasa hosts at 60kb/s
I don't think it would eat up much of your bandwith :-P

They are liars. Proof: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3N374GRJ
(No. This isn't the BS12 source. It's the OpenSS13.)

And yes, one person here apparently thinks we are based off of the Open-source, and I have no clue if this is true or not (but it probably is.)

But even so, the goons are the same, since ours is based off of a really old goon station.

[x2yzh9]

Try and get me some source files if you can, and tell me how to host on BYOND. Not asking for the full up-to-date source files, but hey, I'm willing to host.

[westsider_gw]

10Mb/s.. thats unusually high. You have a T3 or something?!
My father has one in his business and he gets near that speed all the time (upload).

Also, By asking for the source, I can suffice with the simple Binaries instead.. I just need the ability to host a viable server.
I did a test run of a public server earlier and I got everything setup. I had 5 people successfully join my server (albeit using really old goon stuff) and there were no latency issues.
