The url's are no ip's but DNS's. If they got access to the DNS's to redirect xwis, they could surely get access to the DNS's to redirect those links.

Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

How much does XWIS have?
|
I'm sure you're the only person who could possibly have statistics on that, but I doubt you do as you aren't that professional.
Sure WOL knew some downtime but I cannot personally remember it being down for days. The comparison shouldn't really be made: if you're in charge of a project you should always aim to make it better than the previous one. The available resources in 2010 should also be better than those in 2003 or even 2006.
A spare webspace costs virtually nothing, we're really talking about maximum a few tens of euros per year. Changing a DNS takes about 2 minutes if you know what you're doing.
I can't check the url's right now, but they're in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Westwood\Renegade\WOLSettings\URL . I'll add them tonight.

Eh? Why am I the only one that could have stats?
The recent downtime was long, too long, and only due to a silly mistake on my side.
|
Because you are running the thing?

Aren't you the one that made the comparison? It has been down for much longer than days and certain services, like TS/RA2 ladders, have been 'down' for months/years.
|
I made a suggestion.

Doesn't take 3 days either.

Familiar with remote (service) monitoring? You don't need to run something to be able to monitor it's status.
|
Let me reformulate: I don't see why anyone except the one running it would have figured it would be nice / needed to record downtime. I don't think anyone actually figured you wouldn't do it.
Also: nice to see you ignore the most important (in my eyes) points of my suggestions.

undelete all automatically deleted nicknames or at least allow us to register them again. That was one piece of über fail as well. A nick isn't used for x weeks? Let's trash it and make it impossible to register them again! And before you make such stupid decisions, discuss them with the community that'll suffer from them.
[...]
Get rid of the MOTD telling you to register your serials on a non existing url. It makes you look stupid. get it back to "For all info: www.renegadeforums.com , for clanwars: www.clanwars.cc".

Olaf, Goztow is very passionate about this game, as are most of us here. Please, you have to understand that he is just concerned for the game and doesn't want to disuade any potential player from joining, or losing an existing player due to technical reasons.
I'm sure he doesn't desire to be annoying. All you have to do is look at his involvmenet in the community to see that he's just acting out of a love for the game.
Most of us long for you to be more a part of the renegade community and interact with us.
Goztow, Olaf provides a service that would likely be dis-continued by now if left to EA. We're fortunate that Olaf was able to get EA to forward control to his server's, and that he voluntarily maintains the service.
We all have very common interests.

The URL has been created since, and seems to be operational. So I'll give you that one  .
Reborn is right. I regret that we only get to communicate in such inefficient ways, and only when problems arise. I have no bad feelings towards you, as a person.

Sure. Add me on MSN: go_stuff@vt4.net I'll make sure I'm on tonight. If you prefer another method, then let me know and I'll PM you my details (email, teamspeak, ...).

Hi Olaf!
First off, thanks a lot for your help in maintaining XWIS! I think you are doing a good job!
I have one main suggestion but I am not sure if it can be fixed or not. There is this issue with !qkicks that moderators make in the servers. However, I am told a XWIS "bug" makes it treat the qkick as a ban. In a !qkick, the player just got kicked from the server but is able to rejoin immediately in the same nickname.
However, this glitch makes it a ban and so the player is unable to use the kicked nickname for 12 hours atleast. Is there a way to fix this issue? Is it in your hands?
The temporary fix is to use direct connect but some players don't prefer it.
Any info on this will would great!
thanks!
