Great job once again, Zidonuke! Best of luck to us with this.

 

Best wishes and good luck on this glorious project.

 

well vps be able to use this?

 

This sounds good, hope it will be as nice as Starlight the one Opalium made, and when will we see a release any ETA perhaps?

 

So you guys are merging with starlight program... any ETA on a rough release of the two combined?

 

We have added a ton of features already! You can move your ship to other player locations, spawn items on yourself, and know the locations of where other players are! Even more to come as we try to get to our first release.

 

This sounds awesome! can't wait

 

Here's my contribution, even though Opalium probably only got one of it down:

MapException: Key 'Number' //These can be induced by mods, but will generically not have numbers. You'd want to scan any number that was detected as the first character. Opalium probably got this down for you.
BiomeException //People stuck in FTL.
readFromCurrentLeaf //Can't log in.

You're going to want the server to reboot on all three of these errors. I'll give the entire exception line:

Error: UniverseServer exception caught: BiomeException: Failed to parse surface biome: 'arid'
Error: UniverseServer exception caught: DBException: readFromCurrentLeaf
Error: UniverseServer exception caught: MapException: Key '3' not found in Map::get()

 

Is this going to be a wrapper that people are going to be able to use on the own servers and not a server hosted by a company?

 

Uhm of course. Also if you see they released the source code.... so you could compile it now if you wanted

 

I dont know enough to feel comfortable trying to compile it on my own unfortunately I will wait for them to finish. Thank you for the reply though.

 

wrapper, guess you cant use this on vps then , guess us with comcast Router combos are screwed and well just have to deal with abusive players, with no way to fight back

 

You can use wrappers on vps is something you should have full control over. Additionally non vps host usually offer wrappers if good enough and stable. Minecrafts a perfect example. Secondly what does you're router have to do with it?

 

thought wrapper = UI

 

No this wrapper is 100% console based, and auto launches and configures the parent starbound server so the wrapper can be secure with it.

 

hmm so do u have a vps install guide for linux?

 

Another update, we have added spawn world protection and we can grant coalore on joining, so players can go out and explore.

 

I like this ideas @Zidonuke i hope you form a nice team to make this a big thing, capable to keep up with updates.

Sad to see Developer ideas itself for expand server software are limited, they admit game at the end will still be client side and exploitable, but we need for once, to servers to STOP trusting clients, that's is a very poor design choice when it comes to a point where clients can bypass server assets (like npc config files to be server-side)

 

ooooooooo this sounds exciting can't wait.
