No. The planet lock bug was discussed in one of the bug threads.



How so?

I don't know what the trigger is or how to make planet shields. Maybe just urban legend.

Sounds like it.

OK, the games are done and I've sent them to JP to load. I hope he has remote desktop, I sent him the archive files and screen caps of my settings.

I tried to remote bigbang and do the settings myself, but it didn't work, so I stopped, I don't want to screw something up. I can edit and reset games locally, but have never done it remotely.

Best case, he gets them loaded today, I'd like to open the games at 6pm EST so people can get in, ZTM and play after the fire works tonight.

First game is Beta Test High Edits - Lots of toys for testing, Merchant Deathstar start ship & Super H Planet edit. New player planets on so you may get Super H when you log on, or you'll just have to planet bust to get one.

Finally the game I'm looking forward to playing - Old School Style!

If you haven't played since the 90's and find today's shoot'em-ups not for you, and the noob building games not challenging enough, I think you'll like this one.

If you don't have a problem playing against someone with sysop previlages, please do come and have some fun with me here. I think this will be "my" summer game to finish warming up.

Heh... turned multiple photons on but forgot to set duration.

I also noticed in MOO2 edit , the * screen you cap'd shows 2 planets in game and mines .. no players and I recall no aliens.

So where did the mines come from and the extra planet ?

The Ferrengi are in. I got the M002 file from Vader and edited as closely as I could to the * menu. So, I'm hoping all the ship and planet edits are correct, I didn't change any of those.

If the ferrengi are going to upset the balance of this game, I can turn them off. Do you want me to send you the .TWA file for your review?

Old school style sounds like what i've been looking for.

I'll surely join in on that one when its up!

OK.. oh I'm so excited! The Beta games are on the server, but currently inactive. As a remote sysop I really can't do much at all, I cannot get into the command center to make the final two corrections to the game edits. I've told JP to turn photons to 3 second duration on the High Edit game and to please turn off the Ferrengi on M002.

As soon as I know they're open I'll let you know. I'd prefer to give you more head's up but I'm unable to activate them myself, so JP must do that.
