MPAseco (Xaseco for Shootmania and QM) development

[kremsy]

Hallo Guys,

I and my Team are starting to develope a new Server Controller for Shootmania and in the future for Questmania. It will be based on the Xaseco[2] from Xymph. The code will be renewed and the old things like localrecords and dedimania will be sorted out, maybe a small new kind of record system will be developed. This Project should take some years (with updates and improvements). This project will also get a Documentation of things like updates, changed files, and the abilities. The version name will begin with [Beta 0.1] SMAseco.

If you have any requests or ideas for improvement of Xaseco[2] please tell me.

I will inform you the next days and give you the first Beta version.

I hope it is okay for Xymph if we carry on this project.

Best regards,
kremsy

This might sound strange after my reactions in the XAseco topic...
Maybe you can set up an git system and get the community involved in this project. I'd love to participate in this project.
When getting the community involved like this, you might get a bigger userbase.

I think you should start off with renewing the base (core - dedicated/database handling), after that the plugins might evolve rapidly...

Yes, a GIT repo would be nice. If this project don't gets a advertising-platform for your server hosting-project (as you meant in the irc today) , i am interested to participate on this project.

Or if you like, i can make a Team-Repo for SMAseco.

cheers

We decided to call this Projekt MPAseco instead of SMAseco.
In about 2 days we will give you the first version of MPAseco.
The whole Project will be free of any kind of advertising stuff.
Very Old things like the bannedip things will be deleted from the Project.

The whole Project will be free of any kind of advertising stuff.

XAseco1/2 never had that... strange to make it a major selling point now.

Maybe you missunderstood me, this was a reaction to ManiacTwisters Post .

I will keep on the tradition of Aseco than it ever was, but only for ShootMania and QuestMania. And the Progress works quite well.

The first version is almost done.

However before I put it online, I am looking for some People who test this version and give me a Feedback in the Forum. I can send you the Downloadlink via. Private Message.

Good idea, I can host the svn without any problem, if you want. I don't know if that's with Apache or not, but in all case, i have a server in a OVH datacenter (http://www.ovh.com) and so if it's needed i can install something without any problems (i'm the hoster of CartoonCraft servers, agroup of 10+ servers)

Now everybody can post in the MPAseco section!
