above correct as of 2/9/06 11:48pm Eastern
I chose to make Lyran/Hyran/Mirak/Gorn Cartel races
because they originally weren't in the mod at all -way
back in the day. Engine doubling will be disabled when
the 'Final' Dynaverse files are released. Have fun!

Pssst, the races appear as named when logging in... that's part of what I like about this mod. :thumbsup: When I logged in, I selected "Dominion". Notice also that the race list letters in the serverlist are the UAW ones for all servers, I found this interesting.
-
Yes some did -
I went looking for the Imperial Alliance and couldn't find it. I did see 'Tholian' and they are in the Wyldefire cartel. If I select Wyldefire, which shows up the selection, that is Tholian as well. I didn't try 'Tholian' itself. Ferengi is in Camboro - but both Camboro and Ferengi show up as races to select.
I could log on with many different accounts and try each race to determine which is what. Can you you see about those?
Yes many do show up as they should which is way kool! 8).
I'll revise the post when I determin what's what.

I didn't notice that - quite interesting!

I think I got it - it's a mistake I made in the aastrings file setting up race names for campaigns. The cartels are not all correct. I have edited the first post in this thread to be correct.
I logged onto Dyna with a corrected aastrings on my PC and the race names are off a bit, as above. if I send you a new aastrings, can you get that on the server - resetting it is ok.
In case you can - I pm'ed you a link to grab it.

FYI The Imperial Alliance is interesting. In battle I had Dominion Allies and Klingon Enemies, which would be the mirror of the real Trek universe. Think I'll fly them around a while.. Although I kicked some butt as a Tholian.
The mysql dyna is amazing isn't it - with the webmap
I see the Ferengi Pirates have 0 players. Can they be played on the dyna as a 17th race? If so I have some ideas for that slot.

I thought that might be it, but that file is strictly client side, so no need to put it on the server. Perhaps I'll need to adjust the racenames and metamap gf files accordingly though. We should get together on TS to figure that out soon.
I should be running the mySQL load test tomorrow night so probably wont be able to get with ya on this till sunday.

Just wait till we get the MySQL Dynaverse server stabilised under high loads (could be very soon), then I can really put some effort into the webmap stuff, knowing it is truly worthwhile.

Nope, not playable as far as I know, not sure why the webmap is listing them... oh wait, I think it is just a "feature" of the roster code, it was easier to not work around them... (it was giving me undefined indices errors if I did so I just had the roster loop through them too - a lazy workaround)
-
I just tried a login on a fresh account with the new aaStrings.txt file and it looked at first glance like all the right races were offered in the right place.

It's still off. I'll have to dig deeper - I'm thinking it's a file on the server. The races it shows are the OLD TNG Mod races back pre 2005. Also, the races it shows while you are choosing a Dyna server to play are off in a different way. The Andros are now with the Aliens, and that slot (OrionTigerHeart) is now Imperial Alliance.
What file on the server side shows race names and could you upload or send me the exact files on the server so I can dig?

Will do, the racenames.gf and metamap.gf would be the appropriate files on the server... I'll zip em up and PM ya a link. I thought I updated them right, I set the Tigerheart to Imperial Alliance instead of Andros and left the Alien alliance as is (didn't bother addding the andros to the name).
Lemme know once you've looked at the files and I'll adjust as necessary...
edit: Server seems pretty stable too, has not crashed since I last rebooted it... :) And PM sent...
