Just FIXED it!
Damn, auto complete.Welcome back! The new site is great! My only nit is that I didn't see a Banshee on the flight deck...that gave me a sad.
To be true the logic is that we are going to include to the Flight Deck only the ships that are available on the current version of Flat Universe. But for the 2017 winner we could make an exception since the Banshee is my personal favourite as some Broadsword addicts may already now.
Just FIXED it!
Can you believe it? I must have passed this page 1000 times and still didn't see it!
This is my nit TOO!
Thanks a lot Defiance!
Regarding your request,I'm actually curious/excited to see how she looks in the engine.
Hey Mace,
Don't worry it is not your fault! The patching system was inside the CIC server for the ALPHA testing period. Now, everything has been moved to the MaslasBros domain and the launcher is not updated.
One of these days I will give an updated version of the launcher which is going to be self updated and more robust on situations like that. Taking advantage of that situation we might also announce a new ship and the European server that you so gladly offered to us, months now!
Sorry for the inconvenience to every one and thanks for the support!
!
But of course. How else will you "die by the very weapons you adore!"
Hi Youngblood,
A couple of days before we've sent to the registered FlatUniverse pilots aka FlatPilots the following guide on email:
For those of you who want to download and play FlatUniverse on it's current version they should also download the following configuration file from the link bellow...
https://flatuniverse.maslasbros.com/instr/conf.json
...and do the following:
Windows users: copy and overwrite the conf.json to the "flatuniverse installation folder"\etc\ (default location: c:\program files\maslasbros\flatuniverse\etc\).
Windows 32bit users: copy and overwrite the conf.json to the "flatuniverse installation folder"\etc\ (default location: c:\program files(x86)\maslasbros\flatuniverse\etc\).
Linux tar.gz users: copy and overwrite the conf.json to the "flatuniverse installation folder"/etc/.
Linux debian users: copy and overwrite the conf.json to the "flatuniverse installation folder"/etc/ (default location: /opt/FlatUniverse/etc/).
Mac users: Click on finder -> applications -> right click on FlatUniverse.app ( or left click while holding option key) -> show package contents -> copy file on the following location Contents/etc/.
Be warned that after that process you should be able to login and play only to the US server.
We are very sorry for all the inconvenience, we are putting much effort to make FlatUniverse a quality fan game although we lack both on resources and time.
Keep in mind that no matter how fast or how slow we work on this project, FlatUniverse is progressing always with the best of our intentions.
We hope it helps
That's interesting,
It's like you want so much as we want this game to be developed. Anyhow, let me get to the point.
Hey Mace this is a logged bug of the launcher aka FULG and thank you for reporting it your self. We have gathered some bugs so far and we are preparing to release a fixed version hopefully in one of the following days fingers crossed.
We love it when you guys make us to reveal our future plans earlier.
Our future/ultimate goal regarding server management is the following, keep in mind that we are going to reach this goal only if we are going to have a great number of registered FlatPilots.
The player will have the option to play the game in single player mode where he will be flying on a free-flight mode, privateer like mode (with systems, space stations, ai traffic, pirates, militia etc.) and of course he could choose to start playing campaigns, not only one story but more just like the Quests and side Quests work in an RPG world.
Now, when he will be in multiplayer mode the game will work in the same manner but on a parallel universe like an MMO where himself together with other players he could join or create squadrons giving them the choice to play coop missions. We have also decided after some propositions from the ALPHA testers to also add a multistation mode (Broadsword pilot with 3 gunners for example).
The server management should work on the following logic. When on free-flight mode there will be at least one server used for this purpose. Now, for every new sector that we will introduce and if we have more than one servers in our disposal, we are going to use one for every sector depending on the number of the registered FlatPilots, their geolocation the server's capacity. If the population will increase in a sector we will assign a server on one or more quadrants of the same sector.
When the player will play a coop mission or a quick skirmish there will be given a list of available servers to choose from or to automatically get positioned depending again on the server's capacity and his geolocation.
Again, this is a rough estimation of our plans and we are open on suggestions, as always.
