So I'm in a Final Fantasy mood.
...Again.
I was just on a vanilla server yesterday with 5 new people.
And I hate to say I told ya so, buuut.. I told ya so
There are skulltag servers up that NO ONE plays, which are permanently up there just in case those wads get some interest and people want to play. By that I mean PERMANENT, they never go down or change unless Skulltag gets updated, that's the kind of permanent I was hoping to see but sadly it doesn't seem like anyone has the capabilities for that.Quote from: "Sean Nelson"Or 3.) We throw all of the most popular WADs in with the main game, and update it regularly.
This has been brought up frequently for the longest time, and has been adamantly rejected, but as you said, these people are lazy as all crap.
Nope. Doing it this way is too messy and doesn't solve the main issue with people: They don't understand/care how to run MM8BDM properly, as in, they won't know what WAD files to add even if they have them sitting in a folder somewhere. You might say "well those people are idiots and don't deserve to play LOL!" but in this generation, so many people are used to just clicking and playing away that you just HAVE to compromise for them. PC gamers aren't what they used to be simply because of things like steam. You can buy, download and play a game without any thought or anything and rarely do you have to go around your computer to install a game (or heck, even a mod for a game). If we really wanted to solve this, we'd have to make a spiffing GUI that can easily download popular mods and run them for you when you try to click on a server. Sadly I don't have the capabilities to write (a good) one and neither does anyone else here so we're kinda stuck with it for now.
That, and think how huge MM8BDM would get with things like the many community map packs in. It already frustrates the shit out of me knowing that to play MM8BDM with some new maps would cost me several gigs (thanks to uncompressed mp3s etc etc) of space, imagine if people who wanted to play this saw that the core MM8BDM download was going to cost them that much?
Trying to get a few vanilla servers up isn't along term solution, but as you can see a long term solution pretty much isn't possible (at the moment at least), so we should make do with the best that we can. If you can't see a vanilla server up on the server list, and you have the power to host one, please do so. That is all I am asking.
