P.S. That (8v8 CTF) was a blast.

Foil

Krom, when your Polaris server started filling up tonight, it crashed, not sure why. I ended up putting up the game on my server (the other usual Friday night activity wasn't heavy, so it was okay this time), turned off the LAN options to conserve bandwidth, and it seemed to hold up okay for 8v8. P....

Foil

I'll put those up on the DRH when I get home, unless Krom would like to set them up.

Foil

FYI, Krom, the server fps shouldn't be above 500 or 1000 - dedi D3 servers can start doing wacky things at server framerates above that, even when you have the CPU horsepower for it.

Don't credit me, tc. Lothar is the applied mathematician here with experience in population dynamics (as evidenced by his post).

Foil

This is for you Foil, since you're the mathematician. The site may be biased towards population control, but maybe you can make some sense out of it, or tell me if it even makes sense. http://arachnoid.com/lutusp/populati.html It's a simple growth equation, with some added commentary. (It honestly ...

Foil

From what I understand of population/resource dynamics (which admittedly is mostly just the general math principles involved), I would expect to see an eventual peak, but I don't see a mechanism that would cause a crash. So what are folks seeing that would cause a crash, rather than stabilization ar...

Enough, guys. Spidey, when calling out a poorly-framed debate, leave the "list of usual suspects" off; it only serves to derail the thread into "who-did-what-in-other-posts". Slick, you can report / address / handle it without adding to it. ------------ Back on topic, I wonder if...

Foil

so I guess any kind of garbage is okay. No. Jeff250 and I do not filter topics based on content. We moderate the discussions. However, that does not mean that "garbage is okay" . It means that "any E&C discussion from any perspective is allowed" . Flames, personal attacks (n...

Foil

For folks here, it's a matter of weighing the cost of responding. Responding to a post provides an opportunity to counter an argument, but it also has the effect of bringing attention to the post and putting it back on top of E&C. So it boils down to, "is the benefit of my rebuttal worth th...

"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die."

I should be able to make it.

At some point, population control will likely be necessary. I disagree with this premise. Population growth has already slowed significantly, and will continue to do so as contraception improves worldwide. I see no reason to repeat the rampant "global starvation" speculation of the 1970s.

Callmeslick, every thread gets its day, as long as it has a topic and doesn't devolve into flames, etc. If you want to participate, I suggest getting back to the topic (i.e. you were making a point about the selection of the items in the list?). If you don't think a topic is worthy of discussion, th...

I'm still surprised more people haven't noticed and updated to the newer bigger size limit.

Foil

Yeah, the server was great for me. I only noticed a tiny bit of loss a couple of times, and there wasn't any loss at all in our second game. If you're not doing massive downloads next time, I bet it'll be perfect (it was fine this time anyway). Lady Silver, thank you so much for setting this up. I w...

Foil

Can you guys find the topic, or is this thread done?

Foil

...aaaaaand, that's all, folks.

I'll be there.

Feel free to start another thread on the topic. This one has surpassed the quota of crap posting.

Algore I've seen people leaving out the space for longer than I can remember, but I've never figured out the reference. It seems to be used as a term of disparagement, but how does excluding the space do that? Is there some joke I'm missing here? I always assumed it was this . Doesn't make a whole ...

Here you go, the link in the thread includes the mod files and the three existing (that I know of) BreakOut levels.

I'll send you the configs after I get home today. (If I forget, drop me an email or PM) I forgot about AC, thanks for reminding me. Details are in the ServerOps forum here (Checkor is the person to talk to if you need access). Regarding the newer high-pps mods, I haven't been using them. [You could ...

If running on a Windows box, the basics are: 1.Set up D3Server (with Thomas' updates) - it's fairly good out of the box, but you may want to tweak a couple things. 2. Networking (port forwarding for D3, might need something to get the trackers working as well, I'd have to look). 3. Configure the gam...

Foil

If you don't get any volunteers, I can set up D3 servers on my home connection. I have more bandwidth and cpu on my home connect than the [RIP] server... but I don't like doing that, because if I end up playing, I have a 1-2ms ping, and it doesn't feel right to have that much advantage. (I'm also sl...

Foil

Ugh, that really sucks. I hope they can identify the perp, and press charges.

Did you lose any business hours during cleanup/repair? (I imagine that would be the larger loss.)

Foil

My condolences as well. Take all the time you need, we'll still be here when things have settled down.

Foil

I'll look into what happened on the server, but my hunch is that there was also an event simultaneously scheduled in The Underverse (also run by [RIP]/DRH, on the same server machine) and it required too much bandwidth or CPU.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Foil

If you guys were aiming for a thread closure, feel free to call this a success.

Foil

Cleaned up one personal shot...

...if I see another, or continued lack of coherence, this thread is done.

Holy crap, yes. Those people scare the living %^&* outta me.

The statistics clearly show that people texting while driving are many times more likely to cause a crash.

From a response I saw elsewhere: Really tired of seeing this article. From the actual paper in question : "we conclude that the scenario most consistent with the data in hand is the passage of a family of exocomet fragments, all of which are associated with a single previous breakup event."...

For the first couple of weeks after the legalization happened in Colorado, I noticed a few more inattentive drivers than normal.

Not sure if it was just a cognitive attention bias, but driving-wise, things seem normal around here now.

Foil

Best co-op I've ever played was D3 Reactor Gamma. It was created with co-op in mind, and it's fantastic.

Foil

From the perspective of a non-user in Colorado (me): The hype and business frenzy seems to be settling down out here, nearly a couple of years in. From day-to-day I haven't seen much difference, other than seeing occasional smokers in the open (rather than hidden) when I go downtown for band rehears...

One of the nice things about my Windows Home Server 2011 setup at home is that it has a system-health alert for every machine attached to it.

This morning after the monthly MS update cycle, I had a "[machine] has updates available" alert for every one of my Windows boxes.

Foil

I'll definitely try to make it.

For reference when planning: The best BreakOut levels are Alcatraz and GlassHouseBreakOut.

I would value Lothar or Drakona's thoughts. Hey now, they're not the only mathematicians around.

You guys could also do some of the lesser-known mods, like Duel or BreakOut.

Just got home, and yep, it was a power outage, just about an hour after we left for the weekend. It was long enough to run the UPS out, and take everything down.

My apologies again.
