The problem is with descent.cx - not with TseTseFly

The other problem is that you appear to be using a different Version of Vortex as recommended - so you don't use the tsetsefly tracker in Vortex yet.

Cheers!

Do_Checkor

Hahahah!

Skorpion got a new server running and fixed the update thing for now.

Do_Checkor

There is a BOZ SOD with the chance to choose from a list of maps.

However: If at least 3 players post their top 5 preferred maps in here they'd like to be running as the main BOZ server on Descentforum.NET and there is a match I'd change it.

Do_Checkor

Its here: https://sectorgame.com/dxma/

Do_Checkor

http://d3.descent.cx/tracker.d3 works for me

Do_Checkor

Name 'em, we'll host 'em, you get in there, people play 'em - it's just as simple as that.

Will host a second BOZ server after the Do_LAN end of this month.

So you won't get too bored waiting for other (real) players ...

Isaac: If you got nothing to participate to an actual thread / topic, please leave the Descent Multiplayer section alone. We are not responsible to sure your obvious boredom. Thanks! Neo: Have you attended to a "revival" yet? many of the players have not been playing for years and might not even ...

Missed this thread.

Been missing Gonzo for years. We had a blast in game and on the irc chat. I only recently said at a D3 LAN that - if I went to the USA once - I'd check if I find Robert to meet him...

My condolences.

Do_Checkor

Too bad! Better luck next time! Considering it happened pretty spontaneously and on a monday night (8PM does not let you much time if you are due to be working the other day) I was pretty surprised that we had around 12 pilots turning up. We even had a CTF in Halcyon going later the evening. Here ...

Do_Checkor

Yo Merlin! I told the folks who organised this that the scheduled time would only be sufficient for Euro players plus a few ... If I had organised this, it would have been a Saturday / Sunday with a similar time to statistically allow the max pilots to be able to join. Aas I said: I shall schedule ...

8PM UTC+2

2PM US Eastern Time
I thought that actually might be too early for most of the US peeps

Do_Checkor

A Descent3 evening is scheduled for the 7th of August - 8PM UTC+2 ! We'll lurk on the Teamspeak 3 server of TS3.descentforum.net:11236 pw DFNET and on the IRC of IRC.descentforum.net #descent (join by Vortex, Trillian, Pidgin or any client you like). Depending of the amount of participants we might ...

Do_Checkor

Yes the amount has been increased due to popular demand.

Seems that the server was running full of players frequently lately so players could not join.

Feedback welcome!

For me I'd say: Ascent is not a map for more than 6 players but it's up to the guys who are actually playing in there

Do_Checkor

I got the original developer bei the hair

The issue you describe was solved in the upcoming version! Keep fingers crossed!

Do_Checkor

However: There are no plans on any updates for Vortex. The "update" mentioned above is a hacked version of the latest beta that was available (with a fictive verion number) only. Taking that back :-) An update / new build is in the works but is not likely to be released before autumn - however ...

Esa's tracker is working within Vortex. The web interface can be found here: http://d3.descent.cx/tracker.d3 - not all features are working again yet (check ServerOps sub forum) but it's working! The alternative is the TseTseFly tracker from coolchris - working for Vortex and the web interface can ...

Do_Checkor

Esa confirmed the tracker of Descent.cx is back up - at least working for Vortex again.

Coolchris confirmed the DNS takeover process for TseTseFly started now.

Do_Checkor

What the?!

I contacted all of them three 'bastids' already!

TseTseFly will be back in about 5 days. Hope that Esa can fix the descent.cx sooner!

Thank you, grizz, vor letting me know!

PS: In case of "urgent" issues - feel free to contact me directly / pm / or even better: e-mail

Do_Checkor

Hey mate! If the BOZ SOD constantly appears to occupied: Most likely the system got stuck by whatever reason. Drop me a quick PM / e-mail and i shall get it sorted.

It has nothing to do with PXO.

"TryPXO" is just a player who regularly uses the SOD systems of Descentforum.NET / .DE

Do_Checkor

By the eay: The link to Vortex above is not the full / most recent version.

Check http://descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?t=24836 for details!

Do_Checkor

esa just confirmed he's got the descent.cx tracker going again. YAY! However: For now this only means that you can see a few more D3 games in Vortex or other tracker tools... The web interface / tracker browser of descent.cx would need some serious rework and esa is in doubt it'd be worth the effort ...

Do_Checkor

Hi! Due to to incompetency of a service provider (well ex service provider now) parts of Descentforum.NET can't be reached for a couple of hours (depending on how long it takes to populate the new DNS records to your end). Game servers are still up ! but the ServerOps forum, the IRC chat, Teamspeak ...

Do_Checkor

Yes! Does anyone know how to contact Mental Floss? Haven't seen him for a while and he was pretty active ...

You can find the currently running servers (as per 2021) here: http://tsetsefly.de Note the IP and port you want to join (you can find it in the "Address" column of this tracker page) In D3 - Multiplayer - Direct TCP-IP - enter the IP: port (like 185.207.104.174:2089) into the text field and hit ...

If you don't know what Vortex is: What is Vortex? Vortex is a tool very close to the old "Gate" or "GLMax": -> includes a IRC-Client to connect to Descentforum.NET, Shadowfire, Gamesurge and every other IRC. -> includes a Buddy-List with online-detection (independant of which chat you're in ...

Do_Checkor

Updated this!

PS: After only 13.5 yrs: Sorry JRock for overlooking your questions ^^

Do_Checkor

been told the web interface was in German only....

I guess this has been like this for at least 8 years when I upgraded the page for multi language support.

Sorry about this! Set to "English" again.

PS: Updated title and first post for this thread.

Do_Checkor

Great news indeed! Welcome back MacBlaster!

Do_Checkor

Usually it takes like at least 12 hrs until something odd (like double spawns) to happen if the server was not restarted. However: Level looping / restarting a level within a running main.exe does not prevent issues. Best practise is to restart the whole server process every couple of hours ...

Cool! Congrats!

Do_Checkor

No it is Windows Server and I have set it to auto update for critical updates. The server is running on a 24/7 basis with static IPs so I want to avoid risks for slacking with security fixes. I had to set the service execution to "delayed" which is what I eventually did now. Thanks for your idea ...

Do_Checkor

There was an issue where SOD games could not get started due to missing mission files in the BOZ directory.

Fixed.

Do_Checkor

You're right!

All back up again now...

Thanks for the hint!

Do_Checkor

Welcome aboard!

If you were talking about Descent 3, you could download Vortex or check for games here:

http://tsetsefly.de/

Do_Checkor

It's just the web interface that stopped working .

The IRC is accessible through Vortex or any IRC client at irc.descentforum.net:6667

Do_Checkor

Yea such a rig easily does the job with no hassle!

Great you're still in mate!

Do_Checkor

Sent a message to Esa hoping he's still in to get descent.cx back up...

Do_Checkor

good job!
