some old a trac files.....

Post by lewisellington »

ok,
i found some old server files for an old version of s tractor and i was wondering what ever happened to the world servers (apoc world, zoric, oceanic etc) and i was wondering if there is ever a chance of em coming back online and the server files ever working again?

Well, they are still around (in zoric 6, zion, Eville :) ) just not used to host other smaller 'islands' anymore.

So no the older versions... 03 and 04 won't be working again, unless someone can be bothered to nick a server and stick it up.

anybody with a 03 client could play a 03 world if the island ip was added manually.
but the gateways etc are gone. mit even said the code was no longer available.

but why even use the older servers when you can do much more in a newer one. you can even use a new one to remake an old one like i did on zoric.

can make it look exactly like 03 down to the hightmap if you make it manually, and use the old textures, so can't exactly say its not the same when it has the exact same rules, appearence, and play style.

zoric did start with a hightmap that looked like the 03 ones, and did have the origional grass, but everybody complained about it looking so crappy. same with the other things in place now that weren't in place then, like town types, and building stocking\



well...i guess your right though, its just not the same without the constant kicks, file transfer errors, and random model changes. wait, can get the kicks now too if you want, but then people complain about being kicked.
