Kopaka wrote:70e/month not really realistic in the longterm I think, but it should be possible to find something that works much cheaper. The place I have kopasite hosted offers some virtual private servers where it should be possible to run it, for 15$/month.

I agree that 70e/month would probably be too much for our scene, in the long run. But if that 15$/month would work well as a server, then we should definitely be able to keep it up for as long as we want to.

I hope those registrations will be invite only, ez no confusion then as it is now, when some berh is able to use 50 different nicks in a day.

What irritates me is all those alias and fake nick names, you never know if someone is good or bad or new or old anymore by the first you log in.
And yeah, check out that 15E/month server, i'll will ez donate.

And all respect and salut for mila. He deserves some money for it!

I have to agree with polarix, makes me feel like a damn noob when someone logs in with some random nick and beats me in the battle. Who are all these noobs with all the time on there hand to be changing nicks every time they log in. Just use one nickname!

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 14 Apr 2010, 16:47

Fakenickers annoy me as well, just like in any game. Some people might not dare to play with their own nick, because it makes them look bad if they don't finish with a good position. But so fucking what? That's what they are. If I'm last in every battle then so be it, I don't have to hide behind some fakenick.

it's not a secret, end-users are in majority ungrateful. No matter the program does work, there still miss "a button with a lighter blue here" or "a button to do something" (whereas he never said before he would like such functionnality). I know it because it's my every day job;
this said, you do the work without any substancial feedback - at least in lauta - and i respect your work just because of that reason

(and secondarily because i'm now addict to belma, so I expect eol to be a gem)

Lousku · Post by **Lousku** » 14 Apr 2010, 17:44

For whatever my word is worth, I veryly manyly appreciate mila's work!

$15/month server sounds nice (as long as it functions). I'll definitely donate.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » 14 Apr 2010, 22:57

I would donate too.

niN · Post by **niN** » 14 Apr 2010, 23:03

I also appreciate the work mila's done. I see him as some sort of hero who will save/really improve the welfare of this game!

Polarix · Post by **Polarix** » 15 Apr 2010, 19:24

Indeed a hero, thats the correct word!

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 15 Apr 2010, 20:07

I spent 15e on beer today. I guess belma will live on 30 a month, if someone were to arrange all the server-side stuff and make it simple for people to donate.

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 16 Apr 2010, 00:48

I appreciate. I will donate.

Ali · Post by **Ali** » 19 Apr 2010, 23:12

hey mila, thanks for programming cool online features to a silly 2d game which stopped being really fun 5 years ago. if you wanna be appreciated, why dont you set up donations system or smth like that. i mean if eol gets really released and works, i'd be happy to chip in few e

NoZKeY · Post by **NoZKeY** » 27 Apr 2010, 03:29

I am posting just for saying thanks mila, i appreciate your work

NoZKeY's Mind · Post by **NoZKeY's Mind** » 27 Apr 2010, 12:45

Bump. Is this going to be released soon?

abruzzi · Post by **abruzzi** » 27 Apr 2010, 15:23

ok, from now on, everyone hails mila
the wr holders of course don't waste a second and send an e-mail to him with all of their wrs in a rar or zip archive included. there also has to be a .txt file (or .rtf) with the following body:

Hi Milagros!
I'm sending you the World Records you wanted, because I know it's your will, and also you wanted very much to be appreciated! I know you have got enough money, and like this game, so the only thing you need to feel better is the sign that you are somebody of a great importance in our community. Therefore, here you are, I hoyled them hard and would never give them to anyone else, but after what you have been doing for us, I decided to share them with You. I do know you are getting older now, and I do know you spent a lot of your private time to develop the game so we could experience what we'd only dreamt of. So, let it be a prize for you that you do deserve. I know it's only your will if you release it or not, and even if we give you all the wrs you say that you won't release it's ok because you did so much for us!

and the non-wr-holders just say here how much they love him, and state that if they had any wr they wouldn't think for a second and would send them

let me start (whether i'll be counted by his mind or not)

mila i love you, you spend so much time for us ur cute :*

NoZKeY · Post by **NoZKeY** » 27 Apr 2010, 17:37

OK Who is impersonating my mind? WHO!??

I trust mila, he will release EOL eventually.

Polarix · Post by **Polarix** » 27 Apr 2010, 18:11

i don't know, could Jon with his skills and entuiasm help Mila with EOL?

Chris · Post by **Chris** » 27 Apr 2010, 22:42

I think it should be only mila. He is the person who is not going to spoil EOL with leet haxs. Not that Jon is going to do that, but ppl one day may be bored and start showing off his code knowledge... Mila is not such a person.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 8 Jun 2010, 21:47

wrote some code after two months of being busy
fixed some bugs, added some kickban staff and did all teh locking shit and so on
so now everything is done, nothing else to do only possibly fix some bugs if they appear (not sure if i fixed all bugs cause not sure if some bugs were caused by teh same bug)

.. so what about teh server? anyone found anything?

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 8 Jun 2010, 23:23

Nice to hear that

What's the problem with the server? Isn't moposite enough?

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 9 Jun 2010, 07:22

"Heolah, we are moving our server and I can't keep on hosting Elmaonline server. Current server costs 70e/month and the new one will be 0e/month. If you want to keep it, I need that 70e/month. I know this is tough but our deal was that it can be running as long as it doesn't cause any trouble and now it does. Regards, Abu"

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 9 Jun 2010, 07:35

i suppose something like 20e/m is the maximum even that should cause problems to the scene?

pawq · Post by **pawq** » 9 Jun 2010, 19:40

20e ez, i think i could "donate" like 5e every month. and i think there will be more guys like me

FinMan · Post by **FinMan** » 9 Jun 2010, 20:21

I could donate those 5e max in a month also. Just find some server and the prices / speeds there, depends on it ofc how much ppl will pay also...

Lousku · Post by **Lousku** » 9 Jun 2010, 20:26

20e/month is not a problem at all. Just make some easy and reliable donating system (PayPal maybe? I don't know).

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 9 Jun 2010, 22:10

ez if people fix an auto 0,5-1e/month transition at the bank.
I think no one will have troubles with that kind of cash and if enough people do it it's those 1e/m is enough.

Orcc · Post by **Orcc** » 9 Jun 2010, 22:38

Not to forget that skint has some 200e reserved for the server costs. Didn't Kopaka mention that his server costs $15 per month?

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 10 Jun 2010, 10:26

there are a few thousand million sites providing virtual server hosting but what kind of service is it called that the server allows executing and a process running 24/7, i mean it really cant be taken for granted or can it?

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 10 Jun 2010, 11:13

server requires:
possibility to run executable applications (can be compiled in both win and linux atm, may depend on the linux distribution) 24/7
mysql with relatively large amount of data (GBs?)
no idea about the traffic as the amount ofdata tranfered will grow quite a lot comparing to belma because all lev files are transfered
some irc server it can connect to, i wasnt able to find one without kline from moposite
ping may be an issue for flagtag balles

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 14 Jun 2010, 14:46
