Uh, you are asking to host a 1.12 server in UBI. You do that?

 

You have asked many times for us to.

 

Regardless, I have a server up right now labels on, all externals on, mini hud on, reduced G effects, wonder how many people will join....... so far 0.

 

Sacrificing time I could be flying with everyone else........

 

Not intending to insult, im just saying, no ones gonna join.

 

Really, I'm not asking you to do anything.

 

I did suggest you load a 169th server on Ubi (if you want to get some people interested in 1.11, 1.12 over there). I suggested it as an alternative to this pointless arguing.

 

Physical circumstances prevent me from serving a 1.11, 1.12 game at Ubi (I don't own it). But I would be willing to host there, if I owned it and really wanted to promote 1.11, 1.12 as you appear to.

 

It's cool that you are sacrificing your time. But, if you used 169th recourses you wouldn't have to. I wasn't suggesting that you give up time yourself; I was suggesting that the 169th tries to use some resources to host at Ubi, if possible.

 

I see you and Kondor_Moscow in a game at UBI right now. I guess someone joined (02-14-2006, 02:06) AM :)

The outcome would be the same. When it is busy in UBI, it is busy in HL.

 

If we hosted there, it would be us flying, and maybe 1-2 other people.

 

Just hosting doesnt promote. You have to be able to answer questions, and such.

 

Which the UBI software doesnt allow.

 

To me it seem more feasable to PM everyone with some general info on http://www.lockon.ru and 1.1, instead of hosting a game they cant join.

I started a new topic at HyperLobby

http://hyperfighter.sk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1858

 

Here's what I wrote:

"Hi. First off, I really like HyperLobby, and have been using it for years.

I would like to know if this could be implemented?

Could someone host a game in a lobby like UbiOnline and HyperLobby at the same time? The advantage would be that players browsing either lobby could join that host's game.

Thanks for your consideration and time.

Hopefully, folks who agree with 169th_Gideon and me that it would be nice to simultaneously host through both Ubi and HL will speak up there.

What would make an excellant idea would be for a large squadron eg.169th to use a server dedicated to 1.02 on HL and have an experienced 1.02vp like Hawg in charge of recruitment:p and bring these boys to the hallowed HL.

This could be a sort of branched off cadet squadron. Boosting interest in HL,1.02,w/eSq. and importantly LO.

I think this would be a good way of encouraging 1.02 guys to fly on HL and learn a great deal more than they can on Ubi ,which would hold more interest to the noob.

Or how about hosting up a server on UBI called " Hyperlobby Game Servers - http://www.hyperfighter.sk ".

 

That way they'll see the server name, pay some interest, and head over and download HL. Heck I may even do it soon, no one can join but the can read the title clearly.

 

But for now.. back to other important threads and pages. ;)

Sigs

 

Not withstanding all the other great ideas, I see a lot of nice sigs here and perhaps a signature that promotes Lock On 1.02, Flaming Cliffs and Hyperlobby, could be adopted by all who want to help the recruitment drive, and then frequent the Ubi forum. The sig could be hyperlinked to a sticky right here on lockon.ru, detailing all that is needed to know how to get connected. There may be a lot of new guys for whom getting FC and HL working may require some assistance.

 

A determined presence in the Ubiforums with the sigs, working like billboards, should improve the pick up rate. If they dont read the threads details, they cant help but notice the sigs.

 

  • Main points:

  1. Fly/Learn Lock On Online pvp up to 32 players
  2. http://www.lockon .ru
  3. Flaming Cliffs
  4. Hyperlobby

  • Spice it up with some nice grafix:
  • Linked back to a concise well written sticky on lockon.ru

We need to push the Teamspeak thing too, it would be great if everybody thats online in HL atm goes to the trouble to join the hosts TS server. It takes no time at all to creeate a new server and makes the Blue on Red experience so much more coordinated and less frustrating.

 

The thing is we have to make it all as easy as possible for them to participate,as the learning curve is gunna be steep enough once they get in there.

Hmm yes I see, my bad.

 

I wonder how you could do that.

 

You can have both UBI and HL up, but either one you start would trigger the lockon process, but the other wont know.

 

Seems like it would be some complicated code.

I deleted the post.

 

I had read it wrong, and somehow thought you were talking about launching 2 lockon sessions, 1 UBI 1 HL, wire in brain got shorted. Weta43 corrected me.

Rgr. I don't think it would be too complicated for Jiri at HL. Basically just have to disable the auto-launch feature for the host and allow the client to link diectly to the game, to the host's IP address. Pretty much, lobbies like this just inform the client computer what the host computer's IP is in the background.

 

It may be as simple as adding an "in game" button next to the "launch session" button. The "in game" button would minimize HL while still allowing HL to share the host's IP with the client, instead of launching the game.

 

The host would then be free to launch the game through another Lobby (UBi Online).

Guys Hyperlobby starts Lockon by command line.

 

So, I tried this:

 

if you rename lockon.exe to something like Lockon REAL.exe and copy notepad.exe to your lockon folder, rename notepad.exe to Lockon.exe, it should work. So, when Hyperlobby opens, make sure it points at Lockon.exe, not Lockon REAL.exe, then when you host or jump in a game, it will start up notepad, and as long as notepad is open, it will look like you're ingame in HL.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure UBI starts Lockon by command line also.

 

[EDIT]Woh need some coffee this looks confusing lol brb does this make sense?

Ok back... Notepad.exe was just an example, pretty much any program will intercept the command line. I'll check out what I can do with BC++ (VS .NET won't install for some reason) to make a program to intercept the command line, maybe even give a choice to start 1.02 or 1.12.

I think the one big problem is that FC and later BS is a bit difficult to get .. And Peoples who has buyed lock on in a Ubi Collectors pack or something similar didn't know our Community her and Hyper Lobby ..

 

And they have only LockOn 1.02 .. so they must get FC ok there some 1.02 server in HL .. but not many.

 

The best idea is when ED will release the whole pack of lockon with FC and BS included in the open market by a new publisher maybe with official support to HL maybe with a Client Version on the CD himself..

 

But i know that will not happend .. not yet..

 

Someone with a Ubi account should invite them to us .. tell them something about this Community her..

 

But this all was only a suggestion by me ;)
