General / Re: Is there a plan to upgrade to version 13?

« on: February 24, 2023, 06:37:32 pm »

Hi Pepegeo,
like stated in the frontpage n-ice.org/ we are currently upgrading and testing our "server/goal manager". Version 13 changed quite significantly how  our "server/goal manager" should interface with the game, so it will take time to sort it out, and deliver a bug free upgrade.

In the meanwhile you can access our servers if you downgrade to 12.2;

You can use our specially crafted game client that have few nice to have modifications, http://www.n-ice.org/openttd/forum/index.php?topic=610.msg3556#msg3555

Or

You can download an older official release from here: https://cdn.openttd.org/openttd-releases/

Hello MelodyEmber,
openttd recently released a new version 12.0. For the time being our servers are still running version 1.11.2. If you are using steam and it upgraded automatically you can try as a workaround change which version steam uses by going to game's properties, and within "Betas" tab select "1.11.2 - 1.11.2 release".

Suggestions / Re: What about new servers? Maybe some fundraising required?

« on: June 05, 2021, 08:16:20 pm »

Hey,
I'm not the most suitable person to fully answer this, but I can give some clues from what I have heard.

So currently we only have a single dedicated machine where all Openttd servers run (#1 till #10), in this machine we simply cannot add more servers, there isn't enough free computing for that. We can rework some less popular server(s), but simply adding is not possible.

Next, can we add more machines all under the same "umbrella" all connect and integrated with the website? Yes, it is possible. It is something we have done in the past. There used to machine "k" and machine "x", each running a few servers. This machines were kindly donated, and we were happy to have them.

Now the most tricky part. From what I gather, you want to pool money to get a new machine? Maybe something like patreon, liberapay, or even direct donation? That can get hairy really fast, but I guess it is worth a shot to devise some plan everyone can agree on.

Hi Doc,
our client do not provides custom graphics. I guess what you see happens even in the official client.

General / Re: Why version mismatch on n-ice servers?

« on: May 03, 2021, 10:35:30 pm »

Hi Zarathustra,
steam automatically updates the game to the most recent version. When you opened this topic a new version had just dropped (1.11.2), and our servers still run version 1.11.1.

While we try to be as fast as possible, it takes at least half-day to update our servers (we ought wait for the on-going games to finish). In the meanwhile, as a workaround, you can change which version steam runs by going to game's properties, and within "Betas" tab select "1.11.1 - 1.11.1 release".

Hope to see you  again soon

I did a bit of research and it might be a bug from the guys at openttd.org, can you try the workaround that is described here, https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/8967#issuecomment-819775499

Hi Shamal.cz

Are you using our client, available here http://www.n-ice.org/openttd/forum/index.php?topic=609.msg3555 or the official one from openttd.org?

Can you include crash.log, crash.dmp and crash.sav? You can find it at the folder Documents\OpenTTD

Thanks

Complaints / Re: Eaxzone not following rules

I got online shortly after this screenshot. I can confirm that indeed the violation was removed. Nevertheless I noted it down, and further transgressions from the offending player shall result in a ban.

Suggestions / Re: Not bigger, but....

Not feasible. Void titles (black in the map) can only appear at the edges. It is enforced in the code:

Code: (tile_map.h:130) [Select]

assert(IsInnerTile(tile) == (type != MP_VOID));

and we can't change code that affects client side behavior.

Hi!
Without a screenshot is hard to tell what exactly happened. Maybe it was just similar colors(yellow/orange, pink/red) ,or maybe there was a wrong semaphore within it, or it was really a bug. Lets wait for Chucky maybe he can give us more insight.
