• Galactic Dynasty Updates

    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Sun Apr 21 18:25:36 2019
    Hi all.

    I'm hatching new versions of GD as I type this for both Windows and Linux.

    Please update to this new version as the game packet structure has changed
    and Apam has also added in some new features to help deal with out of date packets etc.

    In your galactic.ini you will now find

    [Main]
    Turns Per Day = 15
    Turns In Protection = 90
    ;Log Path = logs
    ;Bad Path = bad
    ;Delete Bad = False

    I will post separately updated setup info for GD fsxNet that should cover
    these new settings as well as the correct number of turns per day to set and turns in protection etc. I figure it's probably a good time to post this info again. It will also appear in the next infopack that is hatched out.

    I'm going to give everyone 24 hours to update their systems and will then
    send a game reset and move the game ID to 50 when done. But will post an announcement once I have done that so you can check your BBS.CFG is updated correctly.

    I am also going to manually send everyone new BBS.CFG files as Apam and VA7AQD's Tavern BBS are joining as nodes 3 and 22 respectively.

    The plan is get this all up and running over next 24 hours then when looking sorted move to setup For Honour as an inter-bbs game as well for nodes that want to join in that one also :)

    Apam and I will likely test FH for a day or so prior to sending it out to everyone else just to make sure it's working correctly and for a chance to debug and tweak anything we need to first.

    So all and all, interesting times ahead for inter-bbs gaming in fsxNet :)

    Best, Paul

    Updated here to newest version, and have the new BBS.CFG file in place. ;)

    Cool thanks.

    So far so good. I can see some systems sending old packets and some new..

    Should those last three be uncommented?

    Yes if you want to use them. I was just quoting what ships with the file but you will see in the setup example text I pasted into an earlier message I suggested some uncommented settings :)
