Where is Paradise 3.x? It ain't on Nexus; I didn't even know it existed!
Has anyone worked on it in 8 years?

continuum ip change planned

continuum is shifting to 63.170.91.110 soon ... moving to new hardware.

If you have the old ip 63.170.91.42 listed anywhere, prepare to change
it.

The system hosts both the pickup server and a metaserver.

Snow Leopard and MacTrek

Snow Leopard ships on Friday Aug 28th.

The official MacTrek client crashes on my latest developer release of 
snow leopard.

The official maintainer still hasn't released a 10.5 build so I don't 
think asking for a 10.6 build will be of any use.

Is MacTrek even used?

Any metric on usage?

When I could get timely response from the official maintainer and it 
looked like he was not interested in coming to launchpad and none of 
the patches I did submit to sourceforge got integrated or built I lost 
interest in the coding on it.

New OS release has piqued my interest in MacTrek again.

	Yes.  Last month I processed stats for, June of this year, saw
	238 logins of MacTrek 1.4 and 201 logins of MacTrek 1.3, out of
	a total of 5,323 logins, or 8.25% of the player base.

8.25% of the player base is quite a bit.  Pity it is so hard to figure
out how many of those logins are virgins.

I'd like to see a new release of MacTrek.

Wow! Thanks for the great stats!

I really did not think it would be that high.

James, got metrics for continuum?

NDA will drop on Friday so I can do a re-compile and release.

Not that I know how ... jrd?

The t-mode hours on continuum are so low that you're best bet is to rely
on the pickled stats.

Hi,

i've been lurking but not sleeping :-)

I have no access to that (or macs to spare for it :-) but will try to  
get it when it is out

Actually the 10.5 stuff is sitting in the trunk waiting for the  
working version of the server to embed, i've tried some of the server  
releases but never got anything but an empty stream. I could remove  
the embedded server, and release quite soon.

Auch, i'm not sure what i did there, but no mal intention. No i don't  
see a need for launchpad, yes i do remember taking some of your  
changes into the sourceforge version. (I also remember inviting you to  
sign up for the MacTrek trunk :-) It would be really, really helpfull

Thanks for the reminder about that problem.  The problem began when the
server was ported by Bob to Mac OS X, and it is reproducible with that
tree on Linux 32-bit.

http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-server-osx-merge/ is the darcs
repository.

The changes haven't been merged into the main netrek server tree because
I wanted to fix that problem first.  I did look very carefully at the
code and couldn't find an obvious cause, so I was next going to try a
bisection.

Bob, have you proceeded on this at all?  You gave patches by mail
between 6th June and 12th June 2009.

> I could remove the embedded server, and release quite soon.

I think you should do that anyway, but I don't know how many players you
have that play locally.
