I noticed the "Coders Corner" link is down. Any chance for supporting .NET languages like C# or VB.Net for Galaxy mini-games? My guess is no since its mostly c++.

looks nice.
does it get accurate prices from the galaxy or are those values all hard coded?

there used to be a website that would fetch price info from the galaxy server every hour or so via an rss feed.

prices from game's tradereport (0.1cr)... visited and paid-up information available only

Zaroba,

Does that rss feed still exist?

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 1:27 am

the feed probably does.
the site that used it is long gone.

i don't know anything about how to obtain or process the feed though.
if it even was an rss feed. it could have been anything, even the galaxy server sending an email to a specified account, or uploading a file to this website.

Well I could process the file into a sort of online app, but I would need to find out how to get the trade data. I haven't seen any rss feeds or anything on this site. It sounds like a fun project, but I am at a dead end without the data.

Hm -)) Mit will ban us -)))

I can improve my application so that it can communicate with other users via a shared server ... All users use TradeReport, information will upload to server, and is filled with common database and downloaded to all users

Zero_GT · Post by **Zero_GT** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:30 pm

Yeah, I wouldn't want to break the rules. It just sounded like this data was exposed or something.

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:00 pm

to the best of my knowledge, it is. as the original site was player made and mit or fooli had to tell them about how to have it pull the data off the gal server.

actually, now that i think more about it,
i think the gal server was/is set to do a web export and uploaded data to this site.
then the player made site accessed that data and translated it, listing the buy and sale prices for every space station in the universe.

Cool, well I guess I will need to talk to Mit or Fooli to see whats involved and if they would give me permission to do so.

Is Xebec going to be coming back up? That planet was pretty cool with the Giant volcano and such.

I am looking for someone to host xebec for me. I have all the files, just need instructions on how to send them and someone who will host it. thanks.

Speaking of wich, Ive visited Xebec recently and perhaps something is wrong with my pc if the problem is not common, but game crashes during downloading stuff, I have an error window popping up and then client shuts down the whole fun, unfair.

it happened to me too, i think it might have something to do with the auto turrets.

Zero_GT · Post by **Zero_GT** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 11:32 pm

I can't even land there

flametard · Post by **flametard** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:17 am

he landed when I had it turned on for a day or so. To make the game playable again I will have to remove the turrets I think. If anyone wants to host the world, I'll make it playable again and hand the files over. It would be good for me because I could use my world for physics experiments... and POSSIBLY.... IF I HAVE TIME... a new world. A bizarre alien world unlike any which has been discovered in the galaxy... A place that will make scientists ponder as to the nature of it's existence and creation. A place which seems almost more computer than earth.

Sounds amazing Stim. I'd volunteer to get that awesome Xebec online, but I'm running a world of my own atm.

I am, once again, starting on Vert from scratch.

The last concept got a bit too complicated (again), basically the economy got enormous and I don't have the time to get it all together. Gonna try taking it easier now and create a more simple world for everyone.

I am once again retaking the pirate theme. Gather resources, trade between ports, buy ships, make money, buy buildings, make more money trading between ports, quests, exploring, etc...

I'm really looking forward to it, it's really fun. Even though my time is quite limited (university), it's starting to take shape.

TU is very much alive my friends. There's always a world being built, and taking shape.
