(24 May 2021 - 07:04 PM)To EVERYBODY: It is with deepest sympathy that I inform the community that MadCat passed away on the 19th of May this year. He will be missed.
(03 January 2021 - 04:39 PM)@Rags, yeah just was messing about again today and popped back in to see if its still up. Are we even sure who is paying for this place?
(14 July 2019 - 01:56 PM)Awesome. After much pissing around I can login again. Just a reminder we've got a new website running at https://tekagis.ca and a discord server https://discord.gg/psX8HBu
At some point within the previous months our update server stopped functioning properly. It seems a upgrade to our webserver's security modules had stopped allowing access to .ini files. Since no one reported any issues, I failed to notice the problem. At any rate, its fixed now and the updater should work normally again.
After much debate, we've decided to relocate the FL server to the other side of canada. After less debate, we've decided to ship ellis along with it. I'll try to keep a temporary server up while the move is happening (your characters should be intact). But expect some downtime for the server in the next few weeks.
* note to self: remember to poke air holes in the shipping crate for ellis.
UPDATE (aug 19th): Temporary server is now up and running.
After FAR too long, The Updater has finally been updated. The new version includes a basic GUI with a progress bar, shows when the last time you updated was, a tooltip showing the server status and current player count, and is smaller, faster and smarter.
Please visit the forum thread at https://tekagis.ca/p...=4&t=8&p=12#p12 to see what all has changed and basic usage instructions.
You can get a copy of the new version from https://downloads.te...agisUpdater.exe
I've uploaded some texture changes to mod files, hi res starspheres (by Hunor), hi res solar textures (by Hrimthur), and new interface textures (by us). I've also added widescreen support (adoxa's hudshift).
WARNING: This update will be quite large when using the TekagisUpdater (it was actually designed for small patches not large), so instead of using the update server for this, you may want to re-download the base mod files from here https://downloads.te...Treasure5.49.7z
Thanks to ellis, we have a new domain name and server https://tekagis.ca
Why?
1) This domain and site are registered to C (i believe) who is AWOL, how long he will continue paying the bills to keep the lights on is unknown. We don't want you people left in the dark when that happens.
2) The new site is hosted on a virtual server, giving us much more flexibility on what we can do with it.
For example we now have valid SSL certificates for connecting using https, and we can directly tie the webserver into the FL server allowing for website checking of who's in game, as well as being able to access things like your character stats, ship garage, storage and markets directly from the site.
Zero's put a lot of hard work into the new sites layout and style (which i then smashed with a hammer to make fit - sorry Z), so big thanks to him too.
We're not moving over yet, there's still a lot of work to do over there, and this place has a lot of history we don't want to lose. Hopefully at some point we can get access to the database to port it all over to the new forums.
Some things will be moved to the new server immediately: our update server is now hosted there (has been for a while), all future download links will point there, and we now have a IRC server hosted there (server: tekagis.ca, channel: #tekagis) which it will also be tied into the game server like how tekagisbot does skype.
