Announcements Progress
|
We are using the updater heavily for testing of ordinance and now SUR files. Please make sure everyone uses it everytime you log into NQ server. If you cannot get your NQUpdate to work please PM myself or Sarevok and also post in the tech support board. I could upload a patch if neccessary for anyone that absolutely cannot get NQUpdate to work.
Sarevok has been testing a new FLHook version lately. Sorry for any weird happenings... This new version while containing alot of cool features, puts quite a bit of load on the server cpu. We will be going back to an older version of hook until we move to a better box.
My first attempt at custom SUR files using Milkshape. These will go live via updater as I get them done.

Announcements Update
|
Make sure everyone is using the updater everytime you launch as we are constantly tweaking the ordinance tracking. Also I have been doing some research into the missle/torp bug. Seems it occurs when the server load is too low....go figure. We tested it last night while pvping. The glitch was rampant, then I logged [Admin]Iceman into New York. As soon as some NPCS spawned we saw no more glitch the rest of the evening. From now on I will be leaving Iceman camped in NY, this should clear up the glitch when there is only a few players on, or when everyoone is in a pvp system with no NPCs.
We will be keeping the Toronto server atleast until the end of the month.

Announcements Upgrade for the Quad
|
Well I basically just fired our server host. Not sure how much longer we will be on this box...We have had nothing but trouble with them from the start. I will be upgrading our beta box to a dual core AMD 2.8GHZ and shipping it off to its new home. One of my good friends whom a few of you just might know, lives in Louisiana and has a 10mb/3mb connection. We checked his pings and they are only about 10-15ms higher than our current host so with a faster server, pings may stay the same or even drop slightly. We pinged all the major FL hotspots throughout the globe. For now, I believe this is our best option.
On the flip side I am working on NQ1.6.1. Everyone should be using the updater as you never know what may pop up....

Announcements Version 1.6 Goes Live!

Version 1.6 goes live
NQ version 1.6 will go live tomorrow night, Ill be installing the mod tonight. This will be a public beta for a few weeks as im sure bugs will pop up and also not alot of time was spent balancing the new ships. I wanted to add content with the updater for testing and then release the mod, but loosing my net for a week kinda screwed that up. There is also some new stuff that wont be available yet. I plan on patching 1.6 rather quickly to wrap things up.
My work is slow now and my personal life is almost back to normal(as possible) so I do have more time for NQ and gaming in general...
Sorry I took so long to update the mod, seems like there was always some setback lurking around. The activities on the server just before we moved from the texas box didnt help to motivate me either.
I hope that if NQ does jump up the rankings page again we can avoid all the bickering and crap and just have some fun. That was what NQ was created for...... to have fun.

We had a hard disk failure last thursday night, sorry for the downtime.
I have reinstalled the game and mod, Sarevok is uploading the latest backup of the player files. Any activity after mid july will be lost. Sorry for the inconvienance.
On a lighter note my work is slowing down and Im trying to get the new mod up by the end of the month. Seems like around every corner there is an obstacle, but all is finally coming together.

Announcements Coders Needed!!
|
NQ is in need of a coder and several modders
We require someone to write an installer for NQ mod and NQupdate. If you have the skills, or know someone who does, contact myself or Sarevok.
I am also looking for a few modders to work on a side project I started back in 06 but never finished. Its a Vanilla expansion that extends the story line and speeds the dogfighting up a tad. If you wanna contribute just let me know.

The host was bumping our ram back up to what we ordered it seems.
I will shutdown the backup as soon as I am home. We will be running the beta on my connect.

1.6Beta will be uploaded as soon as I finish a few more things. Closed testing will start late tomorrow night.
Thanks for being patient everyone.

I located a new server host that seems very affordable. I have purchased a box for 1 month to test. We should have access sometime within the next century.... We will be moving the Quad over as soon as its setup. I will compile a new updater with the proper IP and post it here when we are ready.
If this host works out, I can afford it myself if need be, and we can use our box for beta/backup/BF2. This host is in Toronto and the rep I spoke to claims they have pings under 100ms to the US, Canada, UK and Western Europe. We will see......
Specs listed on their site.
- Xeon 2.8Ghz
- 1Gb RAM
- Sata Hard Disk
