Title: Unable to access the Plaza
Post by: Redd on March 11, 2010, 02:06:29 PM
I'd appreciate it if someone could post this on SNET:

I've been unable to access silvercreator.net for about a week and a half now, the only way I can have a look at the forums is through a proxy site. I can log in this way, but posting gives me errors.

So far I've tried connecting from five different physical locations to no avail.

At this point I can only wait for a solution or for this problem to be fixed, so if I go missing for a while you know why.

PS:
Eq, what the hell do you want Gigan open-sourced for? Run out of ideas?
The answer is no.

I can't get on either.

NEVER MIND

I just had to try again a few minutes later.

The answer is no.

Can you access any of these other sites:

adoptamac.com
silvernetworks.net
revenueuniverse.com
leadgains.com

They are all on the same server.

I think he noticed that progress had slowed to a stop and he didn't want those juicy morsels of code to go to waste where he could learn from them and possibly even become more advanced due to them. Besides, if it's open source there's a better chance someone will continue it.

At my school you can rarely connect to Snet.

I have access right now. I'll check again in the morning to see if the problem returns, just need to keep this thread in mind.

Progress slowed down, but never to a stop. Right now I'm trying to speed up as much as possible to have things done by the summer.

They are upgrading the server to newer Apache and PHP right now so access might be intermittent.

You've already seen the previews. :P
I'm doing this in REALbasic for the Mac now, it's final.
There's a slight possibility that I may also rewrite this (or start a sequel) in javascript after it's done.

I'm not worrying about this "curse" at all. All those programming classes at college are a major source of motivation, whatever we practice I apply to this game.

Yeah I've found it better to work with this title. Writing a story around a mountain with gas isn't easy.

April 2006.

I have the actual source here, I'll be taking a day off to replace the old code and release that with 2.0a5.

is chosen a sequel to the old gigan or a remake? i love the old gigan (thats why i reprogrammed it), i remember there was so much hype surroundng it when i first registered at the gmd. i played through my version recently and i love that game, i had to tweak it a bit, stats were unbalanced and there was a few bugs, i dont know how i pulled off a sprite based inventory in sc1.5

Where can I download the original Gigan? I don't think that I've ever played it.

It's awesome to work on the game. It's become a part of my life now.
That's why I want to rewrite the SC version before finishing it off with RB.

I can't compile it in 2.0, there are too many errors. I'm better off rewriting it from scratch. >.<

Give me some time to rewrite it and I'll have a download ready on the site soon.

What kind of errors are you getting Redd? Can you send me the project?

It's mostly calling methods with bracketed parameters and too many nested IFs, the latter coming from the inventory method where I used a variable for each item.

Edit: It took barely 2 hours to get the navigation up and running in SC o.O this is so great!

Are you still in Malta or whatever it is?

I think it's a routing issue between you and the server. Does this site load? www.wiredtree.com

Yeah, I've lived here since birth o.O

Wired Tree loads.

The last time we had routing issues, all connections to American-based servers dropped. I can't recall a server specific one.

Well, time to resort to those proxy servers. *mumble*

Edit: it's my ISP.

We just fixed a DNS problem on the server. It should be loading fine now.
