...since I don't like the tune how many ppl 'dignify' the work of programmers and level designers. This is my final decision after I read the flame war against Atan' s work (and thus against himself). There are a lot of similar examples happened. So let me say I'm sorry to all other good guys around ...

@Bettina: I never wrote a level. I'm the author of the D3 server admin tool. But thanks anyway FYI

I'm sorry to read that someone else don't have fun anymore to support D3. But I do understand Atan well since similar reasons made me quit playing Descent more than two years ago. Anyhow, thanks for your level design work as well as for D3Server betatesting. I hope we'll stay in contact even w/o ...

@Zach: Go for it

www.pxo.net and chat.pxo.net computers are online again but the chat service isn't running. Game and user tracker servers are still offline.

PS: I hope this hasn't been posted b4!

Another ServerOps forum controlled by that maniac. Where to post my server news now????

Just kidding...welcome Martin!

My tool supports auto server restarts after a configurable timeout. The restart will only happen when no player is in the game. IMO this is the best way to recover weird servers. (DE)Hunter PS: Maybe I should also add that the time/kill limits are editable in the global options dialog. But by ...

D3Server functionality enhanced: - Multi server configuration selection support added - Added select and copy support to the event log - Added auto saving of config files every 15 minutes - Added default time limit and kill goal for new configurations - Program online update check Go get the ...

You're wellcome

My test server just sometimes shows up at d3.descent.cx and I'm sure it's configured right. Maybe this is a lag dependend problem? I don't know what timeout Esa's software uses.

It runs under 98 SE!

As far as I know no beta tester uses 98 so I can only write my own experience, Martin!

About two month ago I used it under 98 and it worked. But I haven't tested it again since then.

Release will be on June 1th.

The upcoming D3Server version 3 won't suggest port 20142 anymore. If you choose port 20142 manually the user gets a warning. Thanks to Stresstest for that info.

@Bubbalou: Can't reach you by mail. Just send one again. Status: - Server switching on PXO downtimes fixed - Detection of missions, scripts, netgames fixed - Several internal improvements - Added copy configuration button - Edit button won't result in a new configuration anymore - Equal game names ...

I heard many comments and suggestion over all 4 years of developing this tool. And it should be clear it never will fullfill all wishes any Admin has. So it definately not my intention to make an all capable app. I decided to offer just the features which are necessary to support game servers. That ...

I heard of that idea while doing v2. But I forget to implement that feature. A german player named Munk wrote about it in a post at the new ServerOps board last week. And this time I added that feature at once, hehehe! So now it's in and working. You can set a min. and max. respawn time which will ...

@Stresstest: There's no promoting at the moment. I'll send You the latest build tomorrow. Thanks for helping!

After 3 month of developing a new D3Server version I'd like to give you a clue about this new project. It's already stable and many features are tested well. http://www-user.uni-bremen.de/~baedeker/images/D3Server3.gif But still there's some left for testing so I'm searching for a reliable tester ...

Descent 3 misinterprets folder names which contains a space character. Make sure any Descent 3 folder doesn't contain space characters at all for a solution.
