Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
In light of the new package being in "beta" now I have begun to prepare for its release. I have made a few decisions on exactly what and how to do things for this next release/update. For starters I decided I'm keeping this same old thread (no reason to make dupe threads now!). I have also decided I will go ahead and keep the release as it's currently available, for people to continue to download, (if not for anything else) for historical purposes...
So, with that being said the first post has been blanked and will only reflect a "RESERVED" message until the release/update is available. The contents of the first post were merged with that of the 2nd post so that the historical release remains available for anyone who desires to download it at a future date...
Also this next release/update will be a TORRENT. I have decided it WILL be a torrent for multiple reasons. #1 First reason being speeds. Torrents have a capability at becoming available to download at MUCH faster speeds than any one given server/host (such as MegaUpload [when it was around] or 4shared or mega.co.nz etc etc etc). Also, on that note, #2 - it's very decentralized nature would make it almost impossible to "shut it down", so this release theoretically should never disappear once distributed via torrent, because unlike MegaUpload, 4shared, mega.co.nz or any other centralized file sharing 'service' it would be impossible for "them" to shutdown every single person that downloads and seeds this package!!! At the same time that's the only possible downfall, is that people will just LEECH and not SEED when they're done downloading for themselves. I personally vouch to seed pretty much indefinitely as long as other people are doing the same. If at ANY point in time in the future I notice people are only leeching I will stop seeding myself and gladly let the torrent DIE (the more people that seed the LESS bandwidth/resources it has to 'pull' from any given INDIVIDUAL). I wont have a problem 'dedicating' a certain % of my personal bandwidth to seeding it even, but if I start to notice I'm getting more and more of a 'load' because people aren't seeding - I will stand by and watch the torrent faceplant to its death!
So let this also serve as a WARNING: DO NOT JUST LEECH, SEED TOO !!!!!!!!!!
Another (not so 'big') reason I desire to do it this way is, I was SICK and TIRED of splitting files, as I HAD to do for the client. So this way I wont have to split ANY files :D: Which of course in turn will just make it even easier for certain peoples who didn't understand the concept of file splitting or archive splitting. Also, by extension, at least in theory, checksum's / file hash's will no longer be necessary to check whether you got a good or bad download (though will STILL be included). Previously you may have downloaded from MegaUpload or 4shared or mega.co.nz er wherever and noticed, "shit, I got a bad DL, here we go again" by checking the checksum's/file hash's. Well, due to the nature of how torrent works, when it reaches 100% download, you will KNOW you HAVE gotten a GOOD COPY :D:!
When the release becomes available I will also create a link that will bring people directly to the first post concerning the newest release/update. Until then feel free to continue to post about the soon to be 'historical release'. Though once released, I do not want to see ANY further discussion or questions related to the 'historical release'
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Okay, I am pleased to announce that it appears the beta is coming to a formal end (in about 2 hours technically) finally. Look forward to seeing this release/update VERY soon now!
If you have an UPLOAD connection speed of 12 Mbit/s or greater and would like to become an initial seeder please contact me NOW. (my PM box is CLOSED so you'll have to initiate a convo w/ me right here in the thread)

Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Only got 3 peers.. nobody downloaded n seeding it yet lol :ridinghorse:
ETA 9weeks and 2 days!! :junglejane:
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Yea, it really shouldn't take that long, but, I was not able to get as many initial seeders as I had hoped... It would appear even some of the package's "testers" aren't seeding if there are only 3 >.<
The beta had roughly 8 people >.< (so there should be 8 seeds right there <.<)
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
yeah..it shouldn't.. anyway i got 4 peers now ... ETA is 2d 14h.. but nvm i just wait while playing this..

Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Downloaded and seeding! :thumbup1: Thanks for the release 343 and all the work you do!
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Thank you again for your hard work 343, downloading and will seed, though my connection is pretty crappy >.<
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Thank you all for also seeding and not just leeching. Like I've said before, I will seed indefinitely as long as other people do. Also, like in your case micropanther, I don't mind if people have slow connections, I'd rather have people seeding at say 56k than 0k because it all adds up :wink:
We now seem to be at a decent 'point' in the release stage that it seems I am getting a decent 'load' even without setting any bandwidth restrictions on the torrent, and that's exactly what I want to see for everyone here, including myself. If it ever gets to the point where not only do I see that it's trying to use 100% of my network resources, and/or that other people stop seeding is when I will do the same (and watch this torrent/package die)! So, in short, I don't care if you have dial up, or you set a restriction on the torrents max upload speed (obviously no slower than a dial up connections speed <.<), AS LONG AS YOU DO SEED, that's the point!
Re: ¤ The Complete PW Package ¤
Well, i tested all server/clients now and only find 2 issues...
1. Why are the shops disabled?
2. FW not work. Server seems to get up, but map server is dow and the client not connect.
You done a very great job with this package, thanks ;)
