Hey everyone, 
 
I just found a new youtube interview with J.C.
I didn't see this posted on the forum yet so I thought why not share the joy with everyone.
 
 
Have fun. 

I came across this article tonight, it sounds like Dual Universe had a spot on the radio, which is pretty awesome to me. 

There's even a pretty good 30-minute long interview attached (scroll past the first video)

I just made a new desk for my computer, but i measured wrong and it can't fit up the stairs... Oh well, I guess it can just go in the Dining room... I cut this tree down in my front yard, and because it looked so cool, i learned how to make stuff!

 

Hi everyone,
 
As this kind of topic has no legitimate reason to exist, it will be locked down.
 
@LISPYxLUNA:
 
Welcome on the official Dual Universe forum.
However, even if you are new, you are supposed to have read the forum rules, posted here:
https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/8-forum-rules/
 
What you just did was exactly breaking the rule III.e: "Naming/accusing people".
Accusing publicly people on the official forum, for any reason or motive, is clearly not authorized.
If you have a problem with a community member, you can contact the customer support team to explain the problem.
Despite being attentive to all community concerns, in certain cases (like this one), the customer support team won't take any action.
The reason: the Unofficial Discord is managed by community members and the Novaquark team has decided from the very beginning to avoid any attempt to take control and/or police media managed by the community.
 
Another broken rule: 
As a general rule, it's not allowed to post any private conversation without the agreement of all involved parties.
Again, if you have a problem with a community member, you can contact the customer support team to explain the issue.
 
As a consequence, any unauthorized screenshot posted publicly regarding a private conversation has been removed from this topic.
As you are new to the forum, this a first warning. 
Please do not insist in this kind of behavior.
 
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar. 
 

Agreed.
 
For anybody new to this thread please just move along....

While the OP claimed to have contacted the admins and said we've refused to communicate, none of the actual admins have received a message from him. 
 
Which leaves me to think that a solution is not something the OP wants, but is here just to create drama.
 
NQ has been notified by the involved individuals, that being said, 
 
It's in the best interest if everyone would just leave this alone, instead of aggravating the situation.
 
 
Cheers,

Someone needs to lock this and fast.

Ok guys, stop now. This is not going anywhere.
Kind reminder: all time spent on moderating and reading trolls is time not spent on communication and game.
Feeding the trolls is not the smartest idea.
 
Please leave it and find something more useful to do.

Shadow

Being in the community discord is a privilege, not a right. 

There are over 900 people in Discord right now, and everyone knows to treat each other with mutual respect despite arguments that arise when talking about the game. "Be Nice to Each Other" is the core rule of the server rules that everybody has to read before joining the rest of the channels. We have done a lot of work to ensure that it stays that way.
 
I get that people are not 100% happy with the way that moderation decisions are carried out all the time, but we didn't get to be this large by letting everyone run around mistreating each other without any consequences. We try to foster an environment where people can be comfortable talking about the game without fear of being attacked.
 
I highly doubt that the harassment your brother displayed would be well taken if he did the same thing on the forums. Like I said before, if you want a different type of discord where you are free to openly harass people, you are free to create your own. 
 
If your motivation here is to try and get me in trouble, well... I'll let my own record stand as my defense. 
 
Regardless, your actions on Discord, here and (probably most importantly) the threats in private messages you have sent me have shown that neither of you are willing to contribute in a positive way to the discussions taking place on the Unofficial Community Discord. 
 
I have reported this thread for breaking the forum rules (Section 3.E) and the threats you sent me privately accordingly.
 
That is all I have to say about this matter. 
 
 

What exactly do you expect to happen @LISPYxLUNA as a result of throwing this up here?

Hi @LIPSYxLUNA,
 
I'm an admin on the Discord there, first and foremost I'm sorry this had to happen, while I was away during all this, I can surely mention that any moderation action taken there is with reason, if you felt that this was wrongly done, a message to the moderators or the admins (in a calm manner and with willingness to resolve the issue) would have been 100x better than keeping the insults and  aggressive manner towards a member of the Discord and his work.
 
Cheers,
Comrademoco

Hi Dehkur and welcome on the Dual Universe official forum.
 
Nowhere it has been said this will be hosted on a single computer.
It has been said it will be hosted on a single server.
Are you not confusing the words "server" and "computer"?
A server can be hosted on a cluster composed of many computers.
And for Dual Universe, this is definitely the case.

Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

Well, wether you like it or not, the "single shard" expression isn't born yesterday and hasn't been invented by us, as it has been used for more than a decade in the video game industry, and has been widely spread with EVE Online.
 
Edit: According to wikipedia, a "Shard" can be used to designate a database architecture OR a game server (which can be hosted on several computers).

This is part of the reason why I asked about LUA modules. If we can reference external modules ("scripts") then we can reduce the overall size of our individual scripts. By allowing to do that, it also opens up the possibility for players to sell standalone modules (again, "scripts") as libraries for use in our own scripts. 
 
At first, there won't be many options available, but as time goes on more advanced scripts can be assembled through module dependencies.
 
This goes into another question of whether scripts will just be giant single-paged pieces of code, or if they can be organized into separate files and directories like any other modern software project in the world. 
 
 
As for remote communication, I imagine it could be implemented similarly to the way you do socket programming in LUA. As far as a script goes, you don't care about the way two devices are communication, so long as you can punch in an address and the hardware does the rest for you. That would extend the options from just wireless transceivers to wired network communications. 
 
I'm very interested in the possibility of remote communications through our scripts.

Instead of automating the mining process, why not just allow players to gain skills down a mining tree that enables them to mine more resources more effeciently, but still manually?

That way you still have specialized mining orgs/players and you have the kind of volume and effeciency that drives prices down without ruining player involvement.
