alchemi2 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 my game against brennq on xwis didnt report but then my proxy still dont report so.i played war on wol.Who is war4uu anyway anyone know?
Kyle Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I don't know...but like 29 of his games were played consecutively...in one day!...that's crazy...even i don't have that much free time :D
Ords Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Ok guys I talked with Olaf today and he is going to help Ords setup a proxy on his server so you can play on the XWIS server and it will automatically report the games to the ladder here. That way you don't need to have the proxy running.Yo ;D Olaf has helpt me with this mission.My server is now ready for olaf. He will redirect games from his server to mine. As he told me nothing changes accept that all emporer games from today could be running over my server.I have also XCL proxy running so Ladders should be go straight to Dune2k.If there is something I have to do on my server Gobalopper or Olaf plz tell me.
Gobalopper Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 Nope its working fine. I played a test game from WOL today and it was reported. All we need to do now is wait for Olaf to make a couple changes on the XWIS server and those games will start reporting back as well.I'll make a news post explaining the changes shortly.
Andrew Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 And with this news I would say Ditch Westwood [vote yes](although have someone go on WOL and explain to others who do not know about it every so often.)Possibly email EA with this news and tell them to redirect to fed2k/olaf and rerelease Emperor?If I find a cheap/any emperor game nearby, I may just get it and try out the server. :)
tutuco21 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 i beat war4uu one time in a knife figth lader setings :) he was in other map but i ask hin to change. he cursed a lot wen he lose !!!!!
Brennq Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 my game against brennq on xwis didnt report but then my proxy still dont report so.i played war on wol.Who is war4uu anyway anyone know?i played with war4uu yesterday on xwis, he is a beginner ( playing 2,5 months )
Apollyon Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I think she's 'lilgurl19'. I say 'she' because I got the distinct impression she actually was a girl when I spoke to her. Of course I can't be certain.
Atomic Mitten Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 She is Appo, I asked her ;)I wonder if she'll post her oic, in the thread what do you look like in the general board ?? :P
Nyarlathotep Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Before everyone heads off and ditches WOL for XWIS, keep in mind that there are several users who have no knowing about XWIS.Especially with the fact that most of you would love to see EBFD revived, if everyone ditches WOL for XWIS, EA may decide to remove the servers, due to lack of players. If that's the case, no new players will come to play EBFD online.Since EA has repaired/restored the WOL servers, it may indicate that they have some plans with EBFD (re-release in classic package?). I would suggest to contact EA first and ask them about their plans for/with EBFD/WOL before you all head of and ditch WOL.
Warskum Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Cant they make it so that wenn u log in u atoumaticly log into XWIS?
Harkdawg Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 i think not, when u install emp the host file has wol IP in there u have to change it manually for xwis.
Warskum Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 IF they can maybe they will do it if we mail them about it.
Harkdawg Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 lol they would have to release new emp install cd with modified host file.
Nyarlathotep Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Or release a patch.I'm not sure what needs to be adapted, but if need be, maybe Olaf could assist in that.
Gobalopper Posted January 15, 2004 Author Posted January 15, 2004 Ok guys I talked to Olaf today and he will be setting it up so his server reports the games to our ladder sometime tomorrow.
XTF Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 EA would only have to change the output of servserv.westwood.com for EBFD. No new CDs, no new patch, nothing.
Brennq Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 EA would only have to change the output of servserv.westwood.com for EBFD. No new CDs, no new patch, nothing.Thats great! We should mail or make phonecalls for it! ;DEmperor would attracked many more pple :D
Brennq Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Is there a way to make an extra message function like : /pageall anyone here? So u can page anyone on the server and then u know if there are pple available to play. Much better then a page to c who is online imo.
Kindjal86 Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 i dont think we should stop using wol at all... where u will play when the xwis server is down for any reason ??? lol.. ;D
XTF Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Is there a way to make an extra message function like : /pageall anyone here? So u can page anyone on the server and then u know if there are pple available to play. Much better then a page to c who is online imo.Why don't just ask the players in the lobby?Page all would be abused.
Brennq Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 Why don't just ask the players in the lobby?Page all would be abused.How you know which pple are in the lobby and ingame apart from the 20 pple that u have on your buddy list?it only shows the EBFD tag by their name if they are in a game room.It happends a lot when pple think there is no1 online, while many pple are playing games and are in the lobby... and then they go offline.there has to b a solution for that? : ???
XTF Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 You'd join the lobby and have a look in all three channels?
