SWGEmu AGPL Instructions and Requirements

[Vlada]

I've noticed a few screwy things going on with with the resets. I know I've experienced some issues with the player structures database. I suspect that the new engine is causing some problems with the save near the 2.5 hour reset.

Getting this unrestricted engine is a priority for sure. I'm not trying to be "that guy", but it has been since April when this was announced and we're still waiting at this point...

Like i said, asking on forums wont change a thing. Folks that are actually in charge or have any kind of info about it, rarely ever visit forums or reply to questions here.

Well that's certainly a shame Vlada, Uninformed is uninformed.

Not sure why they would introduce a 2.5hr reset on a server. it certainly doesn't make much sense to me, but then again, I am very small.

Of course it's licensing... however, since there will be understandings, agreements, acknowledgments and/or offerings along with it, it would be considered a partnering or affiliate program within a business setting.

As one of the largest private SWG server that has followed "the rules" and not tried to hack or alter the SWGEMU (Engine3) engine, we will be proud to encourage players to contribute what they can to SWGEMU, as a partner.

Is there a way I can lick this post? .... err I mean like?

Go back and re-read all 7 pages. There's some history in there that will answer a few of your questions... - Duff

Strangely, Awakening has been seeing a similar issue. We have had several instances post-pub7 time frame, that seem to cause issues with the player structure database. I also believe this can be attributed to the "public" version of the engine when used in servers with high traffic.

It's been 3 months since the announcement...

Honestly, should larger servers start looking at other options? (I just want things to start moving forward)

I would suggest you, and everyone else who has applied, continue to wait patiently.

I know for a fact that TA & Scurby have been hard at work reviewing & refining, but still---as trite as this may sound---we are all volunteers here w/ limited rl time to devote.

This entire announcement process is obviously top-priority though, so rest assured there will undoubtedly be an official comprehensive update as soon as humanly possible.

As to your 'similar server issue' : Be sure to read Ivojedi's reply above.

As others have eluded too... we have been very patient. We ask that this be moved forward. We are starting to see a loss in momentum that was gained from the announcement and a higher level of frustration over resets (especially since they were set to an absolute 2.5).

Thanks,
Ed

Applied a few days ago for SWG-Europa, I know there is no ETA, but at least, it will be good to have a confirmation to the subsciption from SWGEmu team.
Thank you.

Since I've applied for this my server Reset 425 times in 5 months 84 times a week 12 times a day Any hope for us server owners soon ?

[DarkLordIce]

I'm not a server owner, but having played (and play) on several, I hope to see the resets go away soon!

I am afraid that you will have to wait a bit longer for for a definitive answer.

Honestly, we've already had an answer. We were asked to become part of a larger group (and an understanding) in the AGPL. We are waiting for a release of an unlocked Engine, so our players can stop being tortured. It hurts the players of the SWG community as a whole... if that matters.

With all due respect, Ed is correct. Please stop torturing us. We, at Awakening (among other servers), have been beyond patient in waiting for the unlocked engine and the end of the dreaded 2.5 hour reset. This not only directly affects our game play but is starting to wear on our community. New people are confused and we have to continually explain what is happening. Each reset forces us to either a) stop playing up to 10 minutes prior or b) accept some type of minor rollback. How is this fair? Imagine how your player base would feel if they were subected to this.

Please let us finally play in uninterrupted peace.

Thank you.

There is the foundation of something really special over at Awakening.

As Joseph Cinque screamed in the famous movie Amistad...."GIVE US FREE." and unshackle us.

[Aso]

I agree with the above posts. At this point, you have to wonder if this was ever really going to happen. I loved the whole idea behind the AGPL change as it would hopefully get us closer to a complete game, which benefits us all.

I'm hoping that the SWGEmu team follows through. There are other options for removing the timer, but I hope to stick it out with the new license change because it benefits the SWG community as a whole. I'd rather be a part of the SWGEmu community, than against it, like some other server communities.

I was really excited for the announcment of the agpl changes and the possibility of a reset free engine. I've played on and supported the swgemu project since I found out about it towards the beginning of the NGE and I've been keeping track of the progress off and on for YEARS. The possibility that a game I love could be ressurected so that all of us who love and enjoy star wars galaxies could once again play was a feeling like nothing else. When I first logged onto this game I litterally burst into tears of joy that my game was back.

The removal of the resets and collaboration of all these communites can do nothing but be a benefit to everyone as a whole, making it so that everyone can come together and get this project done that much sooner is a GOOD thing and I hope the staff over here at swgemu will see that this is needed as quickly as they are able. RL comes first of course but I'm anxiously anticipating this!
