Uh oh

Zaroba told me not to leave because the galaxy was down, but I forgot. I tried to relog, couldn't get back in and remembered. Well I didn't go to my house, so I'm probably going to die if the galaxy doesn't come back up soon. :cry:

Very unlucky mate,

I miss driving around in my Mini... It beats the real thing, atleast you can't stall it (if you've drove a Mini and got your foot stuck on the pipe near the clutch, you'll understand!)

If remember right it's if the planet crashed or you game crashes while your on a planet you get frozen.

If the galaxy server is down I think backups would need to be used to restore things back to natural order.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

if the planet closes/crashes, yea, you get frozen if your not at home.
sabrada is also set to send you home when you log off.

checked your character soon after you left and saw it 'In building FinalSoul's Home'

How does it know which home to go into? And that's weird because whenever I close the game and come back again I'm not in my house. And everyone else says that it doesn't. :?

i think it saves your position, and then sends you home, when you log in, sends you to the last heading(position) :)

When you are logged out, your are placed inside your home, but not in position.
Having the Galaxy crash does nothing with worlds.

Wasn't there some 'visit last world' function?

Not necessarily... theres a world setting that deactivates hunger & thirst if the galaxy connection is lost...

Fooli (who hosts the galaxy) aint around today and its not responding to my remote access requests, so looks like it'll be down for the day, sorry. Might be an idea for world owners to shut down for a while.
Meantime, i'll put up a version of the tractor client that'll let you connect to the republic.. better than nothin :]

So we'll have to download the A Tractor program, that will allow us to connect directly to The Republic, like before the galaxy came along?

PS: That makes me wonder, what happened to QwertyAlien?!

Its not completely finished or polished or anything but it should at least let you have a play on republic while waiting for the galaxy to come back up.

(The atractor client should be installed into the same folder as 'theuniversal' - it shares the same folder and some files common to both clients)

The A-Tractor thing doesn't work on my computer. I installed it into the Universal folder as you said, but when I run it I get the error message: "This application has failed to start because LIBCURL.dll was not found"

HELP!!
