nawww.. its not the worst mapset I've played on. There are worse. Its going to be a challenge though. Once I can get some floppy disc's.. I'll blow up some walls

  I am always on the lookout for a new mapset to play on. Ever since memphistw bbs went off the grid (he had an original mapset that I never did get totally mapped) I've been poking around the usuall suspects. Vidland.. Blitze..Malkrie..Stealth.. HighPass.. etc. I recently logged into DigitalDistortionBbs.com to find that Humoungus had taken out OK a bit back and dropped the sysop a note about a game reset. He surprised me with a mapset that I have yet to play on. Abyss.  This ought to be interesting..

 Yes, its a game flag file. It pops up occasionally, and has to be manually "fixed"

  The problem with disconnecting is that often doing so will hang the game. Its a glitch that pops up from time to time. The game thinks someone is still playing and won't allow another to enter the game till it's un-hung. (usually manually by the sysop) I have seen games stay hung on some systems for 6 months to a year, as the sysops rarely check OOII.

    Actually.. if you found a BBs where OK is dead.. that probably means that there are players there to play against/with. I'd just drop the sysop a note and ask him to re-set the game.  What BBs was it ?

  Howdy folks.     I recently ran into a bug in one of the normal OOII games I play. I loged out of a game on Convolution BBS. (version 1.20) and now the game boots me when I try to play again. I am able to plug in my game password, see the days interest gained, see a charecter screen of my stats and inventory. After that screen, it boots me out. I am past where it would boot me if I was trying to play a round too close to a previous round. I see no error message. I have talked to the sysop and he has manually run maintoo.exe and he can log into OOII with no problem. For a test I made a dupe account on that bbs and was able to start a new character and play it. Since I know the passwords to my own bases I took the dupe to a few of my bases and strangely on one base was told I used a wrong password. On the next base I was admitted. After gaining entry to that base, (the same base my main charecter is camped in) I was booted from the game on that account, and now I have two accounts that can't play OOII.
 

   Any ideas on what causes this?  I was prepping for a run on OK and this is frustrating me.   Thanks in advance

Teleportation speed differs from BBS to BBS.  On a slow stuttery system porting between bases can almost be painful. On a fast system Its actually cool watching the purty colors flash by }:)

I'm good for limited time play as well. Keeps you on your toes. BTW DM.. What was that BBs you were plotting on doing this on..?
 
DF

That would be cool.  Be nice to have a central spot where OOII players can wander the wastelands again..

Last time I tried to play I got the old "sorry but anotther player is in the game now" message. When I get those I check to see who else is online. Rarely these days is another user in OOII. This message is also displayed when the game is hung . OOII thinks a player is playing when they are not. I know of 4 BBs'es that  have been hung for months. I leave messages for sysops when I run into them.

I skip Barl and hit the prison myself.  I've never poked at  asking the Aurora about the code keys. I just figured that it would direct me to going into the prison and I'd be out the payment for information I already knew. In hindsight I now wonder if the Aurora actually gives you a code key for the asking. Hrmmm.... Anybody Know for sure??

You are remembering correctly. As your hunger level increases the text that indicates hunger turns Red. At starveing it blinks Red and takes away one hp each step you take till either you die.. or eat something. However since that text warning is in the upper right hand of the screen, theres been a time or two I've missed seeing that I was that hungrey till it starts blinking

PS. If this in in a game on OOII Headquarters.. bug report it please.
