First post on such amazing server mod. \o/
(again eh), why Zido left the project?

 

Due to issues from the past and an essentially unanimous opinion by the community based on that, he has resigned from the project.

 

Just spoke with Zido on live chat and regardless of what he did in the past, Starrybound is a great tool for any Starbound server administrator and I thank him for what he has done to this project. Any news on a release date for the next update to Starrybound Crashdoom?

 

I'm not sure if we should try to push for a release before the next update, I'm trying to get some information on when that is so I can gauge what would be best. If we push for a release before, we'll only need to work on getting it updated to the next Starbound version but we would have to either rush or leave out a few features from this release. So I'm a bit conflicted, haha. Tell me what you guys would prefer !

That's the Reddit thread relating to the Zidonuke scandal, for anyone curious.

 

Zidonuke has since been disavowed from the project and is no longer related to us, or Avilance Ltd. in any way.

 

Not sure what the big deal is. Sure he did wrong in the past, but was a backdoor actually found in starrybound? if not, doesn't Zido deserve the benefit of the doubt?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to future releases. Let me know if I can help with anything. (testing, etc)

 

Well my only current concern is the bugs that have been disconnecting players, preventing players from joining, ect. I think that if you push a release with fixes for those then a new update for Starbound may cause some more problems, so it may be best to postpone that part until after the update. In saying that, I am eager for the new region protection feature and cannot wait for it to be released if possible before the game update.

EDIT: Auto restarter not working on Linux servers. I think this needs to be fixed ASAP (if possible).

 

We're looking into the issue with the auto restarter, it's not working on my system either which I find really puzzling. I'll get back to you on that one

 

Awesome. I currently have a team of about 9 mods in my community accessing my server to manually restart it to keep it up so I am eager to see the restarter working again. Like Katrone said in his post, if you need help testing any features that require lots of player connections, I run a server that has 420 members and run Starrybound on it so send me a message if I can help in any way.

 

So do I need to comb through the code myself to insure no backdoor is in the current Starrybound build I am using?

 

I'll be publishing a formal statement on Reddit shortly, however there is no untoward code in the current build of Starrybound. I do openly invite anyone, however, to review our code and if there are any bugs or issues to report them to us as soon as possible.

 

Please see http://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/1ut6qq/ama_starrybound_public_statement/ for our statement on the situation relating to Zidonuke, a former Starrybound developer.

A transcript is quoted below for those without a reddit account, I will also honour any AMA messages posted to this topic as well.

 

Awesome server plugin. I have it working on linux - CentOs. One question though, is there a way to get the autorestarter to work with Mono? I get an error that it doesn't function with Mono.

 

I think you should continue the project. I think people will still support you and the project, just cautiously.

 

It's just... Drama. At the end of the day this is the only tool we can use to ensure stability as a public server, and it seems developers itself will not add features already possible in here for many months on the official game.

If Starrybound falls, many starbound server owners that already use Starrybound (specially big / public servers) will again be without tools.

 

Crash stated above that he is working on a fix for it, so I would say that there is no temporary fix for the time being.

 

Well once again good luck! Best wishes for the future!

 

really the only reason i myself am apposing this tool is because of principle, zidonuke violated the trust and sanctity that is held with developers that they will do the right thing. if someone broke down your door, then bought you a new one, but kept a key for it and robbed your house, would you trust them when they bought you another new door?

zidonuke, crashdoom, and anyone else on their team are hackers. they have been repeatedly and stupidly been given responsibility to do the right thing, and have shown only that they cannot handle said responsibility, why should we give it to them again? are we THAT stupid? are we going to give them another chance after this because "its the only tool available" I say NO!

(also Bacon just so you know
this isnt an attack at you, i was just using your post
as a launching pad for an argument)
