Something everyone should know about this server

I'm sure there are quite a few people who already know this but I keep seeing people giving the admin crap about not updating enough, so for those who don't know, here is why.

The backbone of this server is Aion Lightning, which is a community project. That means that Carl is not the ONLY person working on it, and Carl is not in charge of what people choose to work on. If everyone wants to work on quest fixes but you tell Carl to work on something else, he can't just tell a bunch of volunteers to stop what they are doing because "my server wants this". Especially when those same volunteers have their own servers which have their own problems.

Now here is an important part. You want something fixed? Get involved. Like I said it's a community project and anyone can submit fixes, bug reports, ect.

Thanks.

 

Cool dude, thanks for the info.

Although this post is food for the trolls that are yet to come.

 

thanx for the info..

 

Meh, trolls will troll, they have nothing better to do, like contribute

You may be glad to know that while there WAS a stall over at AL, there have been new commits everyday for the past 5 days, so WIN!

 

+1

smart cookie you are

 

yeah so keep posting and spamming. xD
:biggrin:

 

In my opinion, AL team needs a new good developers to work on it, specially a good development team, unlike when "Aion Unique" is on its development for aion private servers, Magenik/Atracer (an Aion Private Server developer and made the aion emulator) has a good team he can work with, good updates and fixes every hour and sometimes every minute, and then when they changed their project to "Aion Lightning", (imo) some developers doesnt work anymore for aion lightning. (sorry for my bad english.)

That's why Gamez Aion has less updates at this time. More power Gamez. Thanks ^_^v

 

Bravo ! :alien:

 

Umm right, let's give the community access to the servers database and have a happy hour together.

 

He didn't say he wants people to access the server files and modify things to work on their own. Neither would that help in any way, considering they would have to have knowledge on the game itself, it's engine, aswell as knowlede on AL to know how to fix things.

Having access to the server database changes nothing in the grand scheme of things. The only way to fix most bugs in the game is to update the game to 2.0, but that will only happen once AL itself supports 2.0, which is a long way to go probably.

 

what is aion lightning

 

Um...what? This doesn't even make sense. Read up about the project so you have a better understanding of how it works. It's kind of like how scientific theories are submitted, they must be peer reviewed before they are published.

And meryem I totally agree. It was sad to see the AU team split up like it did. I really wish I had a better knowledge of Java so I could help out more, and I think that is what AL needs the most.

And Nicholas, 2.0 is being worked on, but there is a lot to do and it's not currently in any state to be released on live servers. I can't wait for a stable release, it's gonna be awesome

 

if i'm not wrong,its a Dev team working on Aion updates.originaly it was called Aion Unique,but they split up.the ones that left opened the ZC and those that stay named it AL

its kinda sad to have high population and don't have updates,even the gathering/crafting etc for 400+ doesn't work.but anyway nothing we can do about it. :annoyed: :annoyed:

i don't quite unerstand why AL is behing in updates.Magenik that is in AL tram,his server was almost 2.0 before retail put 2.0 on Test server.he has uploaded videos in youtube from 10 July.i really love that guy.i know him as Dev about 7 years

 

Agreed, A full bugfix for all skills would finally make things awesome. Spiritmasters deserve full debuffs :<

Also, AL is not a dev team, it's actually the name for an Aion server emulator, and the successor of AU(If i'm not mistaken, we're running on AU).

Private servers require this emulation program that enables people to host a game specific server. You don't just 'buy' a ready made Aion server, you have to actually configure it yourself through such emulating programs. These are aswell the programs that must be updated before we can update our own server. So long story short, unless the AU, or now, AL developers do not realease new versions, we're stuck on the current version. That's the way things work.

The 'only' modifications we're capable of doing is to the metric MySQL database material, if i'm correct. that means all we can do is change the values of game specific material. that is all you can do. Everything else would require extensive coding knowledge, something nobody here has.

Unless some developers are lurking here.

 

video that Magenic from AL team uploaded in youtube..look at the date of the upload
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-z-L5Rhxsk

 

A nice video.

Doesn't help until you find us a public release of the emulator. If i'm not mistaken that video is of a closed release used by dev's. only, and not released to the public.

 

i don't know if its closed Beta,but it wasn't only for Devs to play,i was playing at that time in that server.if you enter Siel site you will see.Magenic is an awesome Dev.too bad his server has almost no population

 

Yeah, the reason that 2.0 is taking so long is that it requires an entirely new core. However, AL has new revisions very often (like I said before, there have been multiple new commits for the past 5 days) and this server definitely runs on it because the last updates for this server followed the SVN of AL very closely.

 

playing on that server only requires the client which is open access and in no way means he has released the code for the 2.0 emulator.

Hence why it's closed develepment.

 

That is just a test server as I understand it.
