Oopsers! Thanks for the hint, mate! In fact the server rebooted this morning for applying some updates and some services didn't come back up - including the d3 dedi services. However: They are back up and running again. The SOD systems however won't fully do ATM. Thanks to Whitewater and "Test&...

Necro update: The actual need for this went to zero after Thomas and me worked together on getting this into the D3Server3 tool. However: Since most of the available resources around D3 went down by now I recently picked up on this again. Details will be posted on the ServerOps forum only as it is o...

D3Server3 tool would even serve updated download links for every mission you are running. However: Since you are running your servers on Linux this is an information that's not going to much of help for you :-) I am thinking of getting another link surgery done : http://www.descentforum.net/ServerOp...

Is it OK to post here updates/outages/other-info that I plan on doing?

Sure it is!

About Aquarius2: Extract this into your D3 main dir and restart the server so you will have working links (for Vortex etc.) again

There was an even more interesting project going on around www.parallaxonline.com a few years back where PXO worked again without anything further than registering an account there. However: That PXO protocol ist not compatible with the system we use nowadays and we thought it could split the remain...

Or even the original source - I uploaded the patched Vortex.exe a long time ago: www.slyclan.de/vortex/Vortex.exe

as it had been announced on the official Vortex forum five years ago: https://www.descentforum.de/forum/viewt ... 2501#62501

Same to you buddy!

BTW: Overload is indeed pretty cool, once you got used to it

Thanks for the heads up

Great to hear from you mate! Thank you for checking in again! The way I see it there are only a handful (4-5) of D3 dedi operators (on a permanent basis) left nowadays and I think it would be good of we could keep in touch! Even more pleasant to hear that Ari's Stable servers appear to be run by a k...

Do_Checkor

Might have been an issue on my end or you peeps solved the issue. However: I can see the two missing servers on Vortex today!

Yay! I am not alone!! ;-p

Do_Checkor

G'day folks! I was wondering about the very low count of dedi servers in Vortex recently. On http://d3.descent.cx/tracker.d3 I can see Ari's Stable and Descent Retirement Home servers but not in Vortex. I still don't know who is hosting the Ari's stable servers and I am not sure if Foil is still in ...

It might be uncommon for a mod / admin of any forum to not mourn about necro but I don't care. Please just not let us start a thread about the source code in this thread. Behe: I'm happy you like it! So am I! Good you, as one of the most relevant players left, left your two cents about it here! I to...

Just wanted to let you guys know that there is a XMPP Messenger server available on my end for a while ... ICQ stops / stopped supporting external / third party messengers, same as Skype (ok that is no news), MSN, AIM, and some more are dead... I know there are still a few peeps around who (like me)...

Do_Checkor

Hm I can confirm: Vortex displays 44 servers while descent.cx only displays 23. I contacted esa - the admin and hoster of descent.cx via email to ask if he could have a look at it... In the meantime I would still recommend Vortex for server listing, joining and chat: http://www.slyclan.de/ For listi...

Hey! I am testing a new server named "Descentforum.NET 6" in preparation for a migration to a new server with much more power (Xeon CPU 8 cores, 24 GB RAM) and a current operating system. If everything runs well, the old servers Descentforum.NET 3 and Descentforum.NET 5 will get replaced b...

Do_Checkor

are you talking about Descent3?

Do_Checkor

It is a temporary problem with the tracker of descent.cx

Meanwhile you might want to update Vortex to the latest version :

In case anyone missed this: It appears that Kevin Bentley (kevlar) and Jeff Sutter recently continued working on the 1.5 patch for Descent 3 again. I know that people might have "various opinions" about this. And I know that not all of these opinions are positive. Anyway. I am VERY happy a...

Very exciting news - just happily announced this on this continent

Do_Checkor

honestly I've only played an hour or so of the alpha thus far, and that was a few updates ago. But even that short bit screamed Descent through and through, and nothing about that video convinces me otherwise. HAHAHAHA! Brilliant, TG! Seriously! Exactly what my impression is. New rig set up.

At some point in the future, the game might be as far to be holding a SP and make it to have a multi language / russian licence agreement. Feel free to wait until then :-) But THEN there will be almost no chance for a deal of less than 3-6 times of the price from today :) This is not a trial version...

Not much more to say about it...

This server has the bandwidth and the space, but I don't really have the time to do it myself. Could you make do it if I toss a .descentbb.net subdomain and FTP access your way?

Yeah but I'm not in Europe anymore - It's really expensive to send stuff out here, for me it's not worth the cost of shipping and you'll probably fall over when you get to the post office. ;) But if you're that willing, drop me a PM :) I thought it'd depend on the time of the year. :) You're still ...

I remember playing it (and various games in the week) back in 2008-2010. After my connection went to pot, I retired.

This is a final warning to who ever plays under this nick name (and variations of it).
