The Ship

Somtin's picture

Now I don’t know if anyone else has seen this game but I was wondering what everyone’s opinion of it is.

So you’re on a ship and around the ship you can find all sorts of weapons in the closets and hidey holes such as crow bars, pots, guns etc etc.

So while you’re running around looking for some nice weapons, you get given a target which is someone else on the ship and you use your weapons to take your target out. But of course, while you are doing this, someone else has you as a target as well. Your job is to take out your target before the round runs out. Another game mode is that when you kill someone, they stay out for the rest of the game and you get a new target. So there could be multiple people with you as a target.. Watch your back.

Don’t get spotted though! You’ll get sent to jail for a small amount of time which could be dangerous, as when you get released, your killer might be waiting for you…

You get significantly less points for using the same weapon twice, so it’s key to kill someone and steal their weapon, or find more. You could always steal their clothes too, to confuse the person hunting you.

“Purchase The Ship and receive two extra activations to send to your friends! Additionally, any user that receives a gift activation will be able to give one additional activation to a friend.”
So it looks like with one purchase, a total of 5 people can play.

Thoughts?

Server

We need a server… Shall I [attempt to] set one up on server.teamipx.net ?

Robag's picture

oww this could

Somtin's picture

Install is underway..

A little bit of arguing with their installer and also iptables and away it goes! Currently 70% done, will load it up and see if I can connect to it once it’s done.

Svalbards up for grabs, cause dammit I’m not on my PC to steal them

So eager

At least let me confirm that the server is working.. (;

Server still not working

and won’t be for a little while. Pretty much from now onwards I’m spending most of my time studying for my upcoming exams. BoD/anyone else with access to the VPS, if you want to have a shot at it, go for it. The files are in my home directory in a folder called theship iirc. It works the same as a steam server AFAIK, but I’ve never set one up before, so I’m kinda new to this kind of server, and also it seems it may be a little buggy. I’m not sure.
If no one else gets it working until my exams are finished, I will continue looking at it then.

But yeah, until then, I’m a busy Somtin. ;P

Wtf.

$ netstat |grep 27015
tcp 1 0 server.teamipx.ne:27015 www.t1shopper.com:35927 CLOSE_WAIT

I think I found why the server isn’t working. The server binary has a hard coded IP address in it. Odd.
