Mod Update 23Jan

[Strail]

Thanks to those who managed to take part earlier today.

After initial testing the performance improvements are not good enough for the lower end pc's. Whilst the higher end were loading within 90secs, the lower end still had to wait quite a few minutes to load the mod.

As a result of this, its clear that we either discount people who have a lower end pc and make it a higher end pc only mod, or try something to encompass all players.

After discussion, its been decided that we will make the mod widely available to all users and remove many of the features of the new mod.

Work has started on this and I will let you know shortly on where were upto and what we have removed.

I hope you will agree that although the last week has been a wash out, we should go down this route.

Thanks to all the players who have tried the mod and apologies to those who have been frustrated with the load times etc.

I will give you an update tomorrow, in the mean time the existing mod and server will remain in place for those who just want to try it. Player files are backed up so you dont need to worry about loss of data/player wipes etc. this wont be neccersary. However, you should be aware that backups will revert to end of 2112 and before 2115 release to ensure continuity.

i prefer second option tho

but cant understand this

"However, you should be aware that backups will revert to end of 2112 and before 2115 release to ensure continuity." umm wat were u trying to say?

sorry for being a jerk tho lol

i prefer that u cut down some of the planets in the new systems, overall the new mod is great n keep up the good bro...

Strail, pls dont apoligize, this aint ur job, u dont get money for this, we will wait as long as needed and we are thankfull for ur hard job.

Don't want to be a pain but could either you or one of the A team just give a list of either what will go in the new mod or what we are keeping.

for instance Battleships and clan bases are they staying or going?

and its a shame this is how the new mod had to go, out of all the reasons why a mod wouldn't work, i think that was one that no one thought about

Good luck

[Hinata2005]

like nuke said, thnx 4 everything Strail...

Remove all new systems ( with marbles in it ) and add few systems with no more than 5 planets in it and few bases ...

no need for 3D systems (at least not that much) ...

GIVE US BACK 5 GATES in ALEX!!!

If u remove all new systems (with marbles in it ) than speed 450 can stay if u not remove those systems then increase speed (600-900)

I hope clan bases stays

thats few of mine suggestions, I dont know if every1 agree with them

[Mrtvacina]

- Give us back 5 gates in alex
- it will be good that clan base stay
- and clan rep tag it if is posibile

Im glad u have said that u gonna try and make it playable for everyone cuz if u just kept the mod for high end computers, well u can certainly say the player base wont be as high as before and most ppl that play this game cant play other good games so they only play this and if they cant cuz of mod well they will find somewhere else.

Thanks for all the hard work u are puttin into this mod, i know its probly a total nightmare but thanks again and will be waiting patiently for the new fix.

Alot of people have lost alot of money in the tranfer to the new mod.
All the lost money will be returnt.

And everythng you have done in the new mod will have been for nothing. Any money you make or lose will be returnt.

I'm one of who was test the 2115E version and my pc load this mod in 30 minuts vs the 50 minuts of the version2115d. Yeah it is a lot of time but in really for Void and my Clan that isnt an really problem for me! In the next i can alwais buy an expansion for my RAM, i see much peoples with 700Mb and they load the mod in 3-4 minuts, my pc is 512 Mb i'll can buy with 30 euros a expansion of 256 Mb.

My think is, if you want change something of this new mod you can try with the new 3d system. They are 50 system right? i think they are many systems and very big systems with a lot of planets, i think we dont need all this systems. You can try to delete some of this systems, dunno 15-20 3d systems i think is so good.  NOOO??

That is only what i mean

Strail you are so good and thk you so much for all your work  :)

cya in space guys

i agre with osris on this

[Sargon]

Ist ganz einfach Schildi

Strail und die Server-Crew haben entschieden, den Mod so zu verändern das alle User spielen können und nicht nur die, mit High-End-Pc's. Es werden einige Neuheiten dem Umbau leider zum Opfer fallen, was genau hat Strail nicht definiert.

Es wurden alle Playerfiles gesichert und werden mit Stand des alten 2112v4 Mods nach dem Update wieder eingespielt. Also, nutzt die Zeit bis dahin um euch ein wenig die neuen Systeme anzusehen, denn sämtliche Einnahmen bis dahin sind dann futsch.

Ich hoffe ich hab nix vergessen...

[LIMAN]

Well removing some new systems wont  be such a loss,they look all the same anyways.
It woud be nice if some of these systems are kept but improved.

Thank you Strail.

First of all, and once again, THANX STRAIL!! =D>
Your mod is greater as I could thought.

I'm still with the 2115d version. I need 30min to load it, but I don't care.  I was so happy the first time I was in, that I forgot how long it took me. Afterall, once you're in, everything looks as fast as it was. Well, a bit slower, but ok.

If the only way to make it faster is deleting something, then I vote for shrinking the HUGE 3D systems (what a pity  :-< )
