"Empires Darkest Dawn Open Beta"!?

Well it will just about destroy all Pugs... so it's not that little.

 

It might even get to be as popular as Empires: AU

 

Well it won't have the same problems that AU had, that is pretty certain.

 

Not with 2.25 it won't. From what I can tell, this is a planned 2.25 server (when the new script download/server use interface can be used) with the possibility of SM/MM plugin support. Regardless, if 2.25 does ever make it, it will open up a lot of possibilities for doing stuff like this.

 

Did someone tell Switch what it actually is? Didn't think so.
Did someone tell Vess what it actually is? no comment
Does Trickster even possibly have a clue what is going on? Only if Headshotmaster told him details, and we all know the odds of that. Darkest Dawn already works just fine with 2.24, although I will welcome 2.25 with open arms when it is ready. What exactly do you think "stuff like this" is?

No worries Ikalx,
It uses standard maps, any map that works on a stock Empires server will work.
There are no scripts that effect gameplay, however this is one that controls autoteambalance.
Darkest Dawn has it's own objectives, but they do not conflict with Empires in any way.

I fully expect that it will help to make Empires more popular, not become more popular than Empires. In fact, I can't see it overtaking the fanbase because you can't have Darkest Dawn without Empires.

I am compiling a Q&A that i will link upon completion.

"We've been fighting meaningless scattered battles. No matter how many we kill, wherever we look we find another barracks, another stronghold, another command vehicle. We've been content to slay our enemies as we find them, never gaining ground yet never losing it. Today the spilled blood of our brothers unites us, gives us strength. We will take back what is ours. It's time to fight the war. It's time to storm their gates. It's time for Darkest Dawn." - Portion of intercepted radio transmission

 

A themed mod running side by side with Empires could be just what it needs. Good luck guys

 

Revised: It's definitely a meta-game, but it might have something to do with zombies. :eek:

Comon, guys, keep giving me clues.

 

A mod that controls autobalance powered by BSID? Most probably it will stack everyone but 1 poor noob on one team.

 

yeah and besides BSID hate walls, those racist fucktards

 

No. You lose.

 

It's not this stupid server people keep bugging me to help test is it?

 

Right, because in G4TC, stacks don't happen

And we know how much BSID plays on G4TC.

@Chris AFAIK no one of us has pestered you for testing

 

G4TC stack cool people, ergo they are allowed.

 

epic is the new bsid. So stop the hate until more info is released.

 

Epic is like BSID in every way except for quality of players, coolness of actions, and validity of existence, in which they are its polar opposite and infinite superior.

 

Nobody likes you. Nobody likes your posts. Nobody likes your suggestions. People would sooner buy a new computer + internet connection to test their server than ask you.

 

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Chris.

Good luck with your project. It's nice to see someone is trying to make Empires worth playing again.

To be honest, I seriously doubt you can change much without modifications to the client (hack or not), or access to the server source (even then it'd be pretty tricky). The Empires code base (2.24) and Source engine doesn't offer the kind of flexibility you need (until Empires 2.25).

My guess is you guys figured out some safe scripts modifications you could do server side (without modifying the client), which makes the modifications pretty limited.
