Oh, a standalone would be fine. Once the packages are made, you can open anything in the 2.8 editor.

I would have an unpopular request if Assist does move to 2.8.5. It would be a perfect opportunity to rewrite some things and I think there's 2 things to be done that would help save the game and bring back the nostalgia for more people;
1. Disable tracking for servers on mods outside of Assist.
2. Disable tracking for crap unrealistic maps like PoolDay. That seems to be the map the stats whores & abusers like.

Only way for Assist to disable tracking for servers is by disable "honor", that is how I see it anyway.
Sure, it will be possible to build in checking for processes and such.. but it will lead to the same cat and mouse game that exists between cheaters and Anti-Cheaters..
One do a update, the other reacts, one always being the reactive one.. guess who we would be.

I'm not seeing how it would be done, perhaps we could have a model where we include all of the mods that exists for aa285, like the ones we have today, and if it's loaded, switch off honor. We would NOT chase around trying to detect 3:rd party mods.

Perhaps just catching mods with bad stuff like HackHunter does. Make sure 1 kill = 1 kill, check the points, etc...

Also, an unrelated note; if moving to 2.8 does happen, I think it would be a shame to do it without getting in touch with Darky over at DRAAT to setup a custom tracker and account system that is harder to abuse and easier to maintain.

I'm not sure that would be a good idea. He was never around even when 2.5 and Draat were still relevant. Crunk basically ran that site.

What are the feelings about having server running only on Windows or with both Windows/Linux.

I don't have any figures on the current distribution when it comes to Servers.
But Im guessing that we will have to use both OS's?

I think there's a fair bit of Linux servers out there. I would bet that the majority is Windows but Linux is probably up there.

I don’t think the move to 2.8 is such a good idea, Linux is an up and coming gaming platform with steam and their new Linux based console. we should not be dropping support for it now. If steam's console becomes as popular as the ps3 or xbox it will be thousands of new potential players.

Console? As in playing with a gamepad? Been there, it's incredibly difficult. It'd be nice to see Linux come up in the market. What about keeping 2.5 on just for Linux and open it up more for people to mod it and whatnot?

JonnyM · « **Reply #113 on:** Wednesday, May 29, 2013, 13:36:17 PM »

It should defiantly be kept for linux. I don’t really see the need for the update to 2.8 though?

The only reason I see is that it's an updated engine and should offer better performance and newer/more realistic features. I never played 2.8 much though. It's a shame we can't get at the source code to contact Icculus to build a Linux binary for 2.8.

I'm confused, 2.8.5 binaries exist for Linux.

you can host a server but you can't play 2.8.5 (native) on linux
