@highhead OK, im sorry but...

I for myself put in 4000 hours of my life to have some bigmouth telling me how the world spins?

whats wrong with you...

There's that entitled rudeness again, that you were so against. Who was rude to whom?

We already worked out how the world spins apparently summed up by "Whatever." or perhaps as you say "the world is flat" ?

"Supporting a bunch of local DB's that we have no control over is a lot more difficult for us than supporting a centralised DB that we can interrogate and problem solve. We worked this out the hard way with MSO."

This was the reason given. Now you call me a bigmouth for refuting obvious bullshit ?

The entire internet works on the exact basis you can't get working. I've put a lot more than 4000 hours into the internet buddy. And I know damned well if it can be saved remotely, it can be saved locally.

Refute it if you want. I could really give a shit what a bunch of self entitled forum admins and modders think. Stroke your ego some more and tell us how the world spins.

At least you're doing what you're good at then.

Good to see those clear minds at work.

I hear the moon landing was a hoax. Calling that out isn't "aggressively rude" either.

The entire internet runs on the notion you find unworkable. Calling that out, isn't being "aggressively rude".

Neither is the line "Sounds like bunkum."

Perhaps some thicker skin ?

In fact "accept what I have to say just because I'm the one saying it" is an entitled attitude more akin to cult leaders (because control) than software development, perhaps you owe us an apology.

@Friznit Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Is this your round about way of saying please?

People asked for an option for local DB citing "Frequent internal server errors, saying "Sorry." a lot.

In this thread http://alivemod.com/forum/1199-what-features-we-would-like it was in fact the most asked for feature by everyone who replied.

Pretty sure "please" was covered there and in the title of this thread already.

How come this place doesn't get a zone ?

I just ran up a map with debug only on to check the zones with zero filtering, Oreokastro and Thronos (the highest point on altis) don't get zones?

@Friznit Er....what?

TLDR?: The internet is made up of pieces of 3rd part software running on databases. Everyone seems to have coped just fine until now.

Seriously?

"Supporting a bunch of local DB's that we have no control over is a lot more difficult for us than supporting a centralised DB that we can interrogate and problem solve. We worked this out the hard way with MSO."

Every single piece of web software out there pretty much uses a database as a backend - including this forum - which I'm guessing you didn't write.

You're saying that for whatever reason, when people cannot use your software it's different to every other piece of software out there ?

Sounds like bunkum.

Seems that jip players do not automatically get given objectives from the C2ISTAR module upon joining the server.

They have to manually add themselves in.

Would be good to be able to do that.
