Planned downtime: Moving to a new server

[Jackard]

I don't quite understand why some people are so enthusiastic about world 4 coming prematurely. The major changes that are necessary before a wipe can occur are nowhere near ready (map gen, LP replacement), so it'll only end up with the current conditions that we already have. Except that you'll just have to rebuild.

because they are dumb

and youd still have whiners afterward since devs haven't come up with a replacement for the prospecting/mine system

Grats guys on a new setup.
mmm server changes don't sound like fun - that's when the obscure errors crop up - will keep my eye out if you run into issues you want diagnostic help with ~ secret nerd handshake

Hey, Loftar, is my hex editor good enough for editing the run.bat, or do I need an upgrade?

Here's a screenshot:...Thanks.

All you have to do is open "run.bat" in notepad.

It will look something like this

Code: Select all

java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar sh.seatribe.se

then change "sh.seatribe.se" to the new address and save it.

The hell are you doing opening up a batch file with a hex editor? Just open it in notepad, jesus christ

All you have to do is open "run.bat" in notepad.

You may want to consider the possibility that you were trolled. ;)

How is progress going? Any ETA for server up?

Can you do% online ^_^

Well, the users are finally transferred, after a few troubles along the way. I'll do a few miscellaneous things, and then I'll disable the forums. I'll probably go to sleep while the forums are transferring, though.
