' Wrote:Has anyone considered asking for donations for a second server.
And then splitting the mod in two - with a program to 'port' players between the relevant entry/exit points?
Pros:
More slots for players.
More room for expansion of the map of Sirius (or even an entirely new sector of space).
Cons:
Requires donations and bandwidth for a second server.
Doubles development and admin requirements.
Large initial development setup and readjustment.
In theory there is no limit to the number of servers one could have - only a limit to the players on any one server. I have seen games like Neverwinter Nights do this (the game did however, have a specific script ability to do this).
hehh i was thinking about something like that "link server" different galaxies, but it sounds unlikeable
It's been talked about, nothing been done, probably cause either it can't be scripted proper cause of lack of source code, or it was just deemed unnecessary.

how will you control who jump into what server? i think its just near impossible or the initial idea of rewriting the FLServer sounds easier
Your help is appreciated. Run the server locally on your computer and find the bugs. Post them and then they can be fixed and then the server will stop crashing.

Cannon, we all know you work hard trying to fix things and you deserve more than you get for it. These people should learn respect and patience, but eh... It happens.
As for a bigger, better server. It is impossible. FLServer cannot handle more players (it's already hacked to be over the limit). Besides that, FLServer can't even make full use of the resources on the server. There is no upgrade to the hardware that can be done to make it run better.
As for the porting to another server: Do you want to try to write that program? I won't be asking Cannon to do it, we don't need it. We don't have anyone to host yet another server.

its fine i am sure its just new mod fever, it will go away and it will be back to normal weekends full to almost full and weekdays it will be filling in the evenings and night. so yes now every one yel we want a bigger one:lol:(you made me say it ) can you handle a bigger one?
is there any reason why somebody joining the server would crash it cause me last 3 attempts to join the server seem to have been at the same time as a crash
