To Infinity & Beyond!

[MRaverz]

In responce to Nasher's thread on the currently in pre-alpha game 'Infinity', which has a nice little prototype minigame - I'd like to organise a time in which a bunch of LoR members will play this mini game.

It's got space, spacecraft, tactics, blah blah blah. Essentially I just wanna have some fun blasting some spaceships apart.

The servers are generally pretty empire, so we're very likely to be able to occupy a server totally or mainly to ourselves. So it should be goooood.

Details on how to download and play the minigame will be in my next post.

Who is up for it and when is a good time?

Download the game here:
Page Link

Or for a more direct link, here:
Download Here

Details on how to play can be found on the first link, but it's pretty easy to grasp without reading them.

You will need to register an account on the site, here:
Register Here

You will also need to set the server we need manually, but this is easy as cake. Simply open the program, then on the log on screen there is a place to type in the server and port you wish to use.

Online/offline servers can be found here:
Server List
For example: 'Whitedwarf's server 72.88.83.130:7000 USA Dedicated server'.
72.88.83.130 is the server number.
7000 is the port number.

I think it's a good idea. I can see it being very fun to do with others.
I'll probably end up being on tomorrow evening. I hope someone's on because the times I've tried it have been quite empty.

 

[Aught3]

I'll give it a go.

 

[MRaverz]

Servers seem to be able to host a pretty large number of people, and I reckon I could make tomorrow evening too.

Shall we say about 8:00 GMT? On Whitedwarf's server? Seeing as that seems to be online most of the time.

If the server changes, I'll post here and we'll pick another.

 

[nasher168]

So that's 9:00 by our time isn't it? I'll try and be on if at all possible. My name will be nasher168 for simplicity.

Are we in GMT+1/BST at the moment?

I've confused myself.

 

[nasher168]

Yes. Spring forward, Fall back is the phrase, so if the clocks went forward in April or March or whenever, that makes us in GMT +1 now.

I meant GMT +1 then, lol.

Could do 9, tis probably better.

I can't join you guys do to various reasons. I will play the real/full game when it comes out eventually.

 

[sgrunterundt]

Should be 10pm today for a dane right?

BST = 9pm, so I think that's 10pm yeah.

Garrh. It's an exe, it won't work on my mac

Maybe you should've bought a computer.

:evil:

 

[nasher168]

Mac's can't use .exe files? That's really bad...

 

[Case]

Just checked... Camtasia kinda lags... and fraps eats too many GB per file. Meh. Would be cool to record matches.

 

[nasher168]

I take it you were Testee, Case?

 

[Case]

Yup. Recorded it with FRAPS and just re-encoded it with VDM. 4GB -> 160MB
Figured out a way to get Carriers relatively easy. We'd need a bunch of people, say 4-8.

Urgh, revision stopped me from coming online. D;
