It's all your fault Janusi! You broke it!

Na, don't worry about it. The servers failed, so unless you created a virus or something, you're of the hook.

...

nicolae_nemo5, i've sent some resources to BOTH of your acounts.

...

Anty, which url did you use? Like I said, the first one doesn't work very well. I'd recommend using one of the other ones. Plasma-FX is the best.

Make sure you follow instructions as well - make sure the pages load properly and make sure you log out of your account after applying the changes. The changes don't take effect until you log back into the game.

...

Ritter, WHERE are you supposed to download the packs to? I noticed that they had the packs available as .rar files, but if this is a web-based game, what is the point in downloading anything for it?

Maybe that colony was like the staw that broke the cammal's back

Well I tryed all of them but nothing changed but I tryed the plasma now and it worked. Thanks.

...

The strange thing is that nemo hasn't had eny problems like the rest of us. He is still using the X-War server graphics. Nothing happened with his accounts.

Thanks, Matress

my first military ship is about to come online with 490 att and 671 def

Is anyone else finding that researching isn't the problem to unlocking stuff, but leveling up the buildings is? I've had the technology to build Heavy Laser Batteries and Mine Fields for around a week, but I still need to get my Defense Station up one more level. About the same with Hyperspeed Engines, except the Research Station should be ready within a couple of hours. That research actually will take a while as I'm going to need about an additional 52k orizin, which I don't really produce much of. Who would have thought that stuff would ever be valuable en masse?

*Oh, Matress, I forgot. I haven't bothered trying to download the graphics packs myself since I have yet to find a quick way to do it for free. I was going to look into it when the server went down, but you came up with that other solution faster. I'm not sure exactly how it works, I just know that I had to translate a snipet saying it can be done. If you'd like, I can try asking, but it actually might not be a function that the game is ready to support. If you'll note, there are several links and such which connect to nothing. Those are links to future improvements/functions which are not operational/translated yet.

You guys are playing this game too much . The forums have been a ghost town for like 2 weeks now, and I suspect it may be because half of you are wrapped up in this X-Wars game .

Well we need to do something whilst we wait for BOTF2.

You wouldn't want a riot on your hands...would you?

...

Ritter, as far as I can tell, the servers are up and running again. I can access stumpy's accounts and they are working fine - even though he hasn't applied any graphics packs. I couldn't use a graphics pack on his accounts because I don't have access to his account button.

I still don't understand how downloading a pack can change how the game works though. It's a web-based game, so surely downloading stuff won't do anything...

As for links connecting to nothing, are you talking about links like this: Combined Race/Faction Bonuses.

If you are, then I find it odd that the combined Race/Faction bonuses haven't been implemented yet. Surely if you're gonna have bonuses, it won't take any work to have them combined?

...I don't understand programming though. Maybe it is difficult to do.

Yeah, not a whole lot lately to do here, although I will say that map test looks beautiful. Don't change a thing, except making it massively bigger.

Actually, the bonuses you were talking about are applied, but that particular link is the description page which hasn't yet been translated/posted (there are a lot of those). As for how downloading the graphics helps the server, think of it like this: If you just log in, the game has to send you the game info itself and the basic backgrounds, looks, etc. If you have graphics that the game can simply tap into on your computer, then it only needs to send you the updated game info. The less stuff the server has to send you, the less work it has to do--at least I think that's how it works. I'm sure some of the IT people on here could explain it far better than I can.

Ok, i'll keep it simple this time. Answer me this one question: WHERE do you download the graphics packs to?! Your desktop? Your temporary Internet Files folder? Your Program Files folder...?

I've already asked you this once before.

hmm... ive been gone for a while...

i need to repay some deptß.

Matress - I think they need to be hosted online and be remotlý accessed, burt im not sure.

I know you've asked and I've actually answered: I don't know. I haven't looked into it. The only thing I know is that I translated a page which said it's possible. I was going to look into it when the server was having problems, but then ended up not needing to.

I guess we both need to learn to read...

My MOE account had fun last night. Terrab attacked it six times. I'm slowly building up my industry to mount a full-scale counter-offensive against him though.

what ever you do dont research multiple constructions, when you have 2 cols it starts building structures on ya other planet when ya not even asked it to, some sort of error

ps only way to fix it it to wait 5 mins before building anything else or clicking on trade to refresh the resource tab

Yes, this is a known bug that has been "fixed" several times. Just to be on the safe side, when I'm going to build something on my colony I make sure that my main planet can't build it--not enough resources, already busy, whatever.

Also, by the end of the day I should have Hyperspeed Engines available. If anyone would care to purchase some ships or tactical weapons, let me know and I'll start figuring out prices. If you have some gold, you can even purchase some of my light ships equipped with defensive teleporters.

anyone know what effect the high academy does ?

I sent my first raid in an effort to aquire more resources unfortunately it failed miserablly and now I will have to prepare for possible counter attack.

dpi are heavily at war with other clans, let me know if ya continue to get attacked, plus give me a report of thier attack strength, i'm building ships as we speak and defending your planet may be fairly easy for me

plus my enermy , the gtf allaince seems to have stagnated, thier that weak that now thier under attack protection from me

did you get attacked at 3x86 system, seem a fair distance to get attacked

only got 1 ship so far at 490att, 671 def and can build these ships at moment

light 122/83 at 1h43

Well Janusi I spoked to nemo and we are thinking of sending ships for aid.

anyone got any crystal to spare, virtually bare of it due to fusion power planet 2 upgrade

I can give you 5000 crystals from each my accounts but I don't have the trading center yet so send me 1 resource and ask for 5000 crystals. Here are the coordinates :

3x115x4

3x111x7

I can give you 10000 crystals from one of my accounts. but I don't now your coordinates.

my coord's are 3x15x4, just give me ya co-ords and i can arrange a trade, well nearly at 10000 iron pro an hour, got it to spare

ok 6min for raiden

Thanks but you didn't have to send any resources 1 unit of resource was enough.

...

And I can give you 5000 cry from each my account not just from the first.

3x111x7
3x115x4
...

Nemo will send the crystals in a few minutes.

takes about 5min to get a probe to scan ya second account, so i can trade

well only need crystal cause, that the resource thats used the most in ship contruction


brothers col ship will be up and running in 1h20, now just to find were to send it

go go go raiden for crystals

I calculated some things and I think I can give some more crystals like 7000 from 3x111x7 so ...

no need got enough now, i've worked out i'll be the most powerfull colony in the first 29 su of the universe in 2 days
