Ares mod

[Jeryia]

Howdy Guys,
I have released Alpha Release Canidate 1 for anyone to use. Note that Ares is a plugin for StarD and you will need that in addition if you want to start a server for this.

Ares is free, and open source. I've opened up the github repo for anyone to look at. If anyone is interested in contributing to this, please let me know and I will add you to the contributor's list.

Note that if anyone wants help setting up a server to host this let me know, I'll be happy to assist as best I can.

Github: https://github.com/Jeryia/StarD-Ares

EDIT: I have also updated the main post to reflect this change.

You can post it on the Community Content too as a mod. It would get a lot more attention than this thread, I think.

I plan to open the server up next weekend on Saturday 12am to Sunday 12am MST.
That's October 31 12am to November 1 12am MST.

pebble.dynalias.net:4242

Everyone is welcome.

EDIT: make sure you list the server as public, so people will find it easier, as well a stumble upon the awesome by chance

Can you do a couple of things for me:
1. Post the contents of /var/starmade/stard/stard.cfg (X out the password line if you have it filled in)
2. Show the output of the command ls -l /var/starmade/stard/plugins/Ares
3. Also if you login and type !status does anything respond?

!status

[Server-pm] error command: !status does not exist!

Interesting,
It looks like the executables are missing their execute permissions. That's odd, but something that should be addressed.

I've pushed out a release of StarD that will fix permissions on the plugins it loads (if they need fixing). Alpha Release Canidate 4. This also fixes the other issue you where experiencing.

Give that a try. The link has been updated in the Stard thread. Let me know if that fixes your issue. Definitely let me know if you run into further trouble

Up and running. Looking forward to having lots of fun! Is there a setting that excludes admins from playing?

Glad to hear it's working!

If your set to be an admin, it excludes you from the game automatically. This is intended so that admins can go anywhere without setting off alarms, capturing control points, etc. However, it is annoying if you want to play :p.

If you want to play there's two things you can do:
1. Remove yourself as an admin temporarily, and relogin.
2. Have two login names, one for admin, one for playing.

Note that you can access the console without being an admin if you have an ssh window open. /var/starmade/stard/bin/stard_cmd can be used to send a command to the server, or /var/starmade/stard/bin/stard_shell will give you a primitive shell.

Working on a heavy assault ship for the next round, also bringing a faction member's ship as well to see what happens in an actual fight for it.

The Heavy Assault is basically an overdrive nuke launcher with an array of close and long range weapons to give someone something to think about. With Front and side tanking and a no tailgating surprise. :P

Yo AssIn9 does that mean you have a server running this mod/wrapper? Name a price for the IP and the uptime schedule :P

up-time = until someone crashes it....
IP = "Atlas Ares" in the server list.. Server is currently Offline. but that will hopefully change soon. please keep the ship uploads small atm. aka, dont kill my internet... its only a 300x300 connection with other uses also.

Server is up: pebble.dynalias.net:4242

 

[StormWing0]

Coming in a few, might want to mention it in chat too.

 

[Jeryia]

Those of you who where unable to connect, should be able to now...

 

[Matt_Bradock]

Bumpity! I'm hopping on too

Aw come the hell on people... needs more hype.

Well that was an interesting match I was in. I think bigger ships than a certain mass need to draw spawns of the faction they are attacking when on their size of the map. Other than that it was fun.
