Bliss, thanks for those words!
We're all trying to keep it alive as best we can!
Promoting our server? Good idea... will do so right now!
(Though does it need it? There's usually a decent number of folks on it... we don't want to overcook the thing! Not even sure what the box can handle performance wise.)
Sharing missions is a grand idea, though the way this server works is rather unique, and there might not be anything to share - apart from the complete concept maybe...
The server is running CloD using the ATAG server commander, mission cycles each 9 hours, it starts at in-game time 9AM, thus runs until 6PM in game.
The base map was originally an ATAG mission, 'Struggle for Power' if I recall correctly, though it has been heavily edited ... mostly removal of redundant code
Now as I am not at all familiar with C##, but ám with VB6, I ceated a separate utility that will make sure at random time frames, varying from 4 to 10 minutes, a 'sub-mission' will be loaded into the base map. (The base map was originally an ATAG mission, 'Struggle for Power' if I recall correctly, though it has been heavily edited ... mostly removal of redundant code)
At the moment, some 67 submissions are in there.
It's vert easy to add sub-missions, just throw 'm in the folder where the others are, it will be picked up by the utility all by itself, no need to change any code!
Sure, that randomly loading missions has been coded in C## too, in the meantime, but hey, it just works now... so... all fine!
Events? Hm, yeah, also fine idea. And we had one attempt I think... but truth is, at the moment, the majority of dogz still are flying 1946.
Some more are in the works.... but nothing definite yet
