Zwaxy: (8:56 PM) i had a reply from Brian at ZTnet, but it wasn't particularly clear. I've replied, and am waiting again. It appears that MARP is supposed to run on a 3rd server, not the 2 we were seeing it on...
mahlemiut: (9:02 PM) I hope the 3rd server isn't called "dodo" :)
mahlemiut: (9:03 PM) no wait, I see... it's "falcon"
Zwaxy: (9:03 PM) oh - it's running there now? and is it working now?
mahlemiut: (9:04 PM) I haven't really got anything to upload, but I guess so. Rick has said that it's better for him at least.
Zwaxy: (9:05 PM) apparently what is happening is that the script is hanging occasionally.
mahlemiut: (9:06 PM) occasionally? :)
Zwaxy: (9:06 PM) once there are a certain number of hung MARP scripts on falcon, MARP isn't allowed on falcon and more, so it goes onto the other 2, where it doesn't work.
Hopefully everything is working now. For how long, who knows. :)

I heard from various people that the ZTnet issues have something to do with the Blaster worm that hitted the net recently.Is it true?

Returning [IT],I think that the 5th place idea is good.It is true that some games have more competition than others but it will be a good idea because it will add a "quota score" to the various games and improve the competition. And after all,if you think your score is proud to be shown to the others nothing forbid you to upload it...

Well,are you going to resume the "ST-V dialogue" or you are sick of it :) ?

Maybe because the game itself is crappy ;) ?

if you have anything for st-v mail it to me, I had to reinstall windows and haven't got around to restoring my old mail yet.

got it, what was wrong with the sprite gfx in shanghai?, all i remember is a few of them were black the tiles should have been displayed ok but misplaced in .73 .. main problem was there were no controls, probably interrupt or i/o replated.
