that so you you will not be able to change instances the in the instancing all happens in the background so basically from your standpoint in playing the game you know in most cases you should not be able to you will…taken care of and as soon as you get more than that it would be split off to another instance so you you don't know what instance you're in uh the only
Watch at 00:44:34 ↗servers on the web where they Scale based on you know how many people are in the thing or how instance for instance instance for instance H we will then scale it and and that causes issues and so we're struggling
Watch at 00:00:55 ↗thing they're going to be able to do that themselves so so from rohar the plunderer how will instancing and factories work will there be same Factory for all the sector instances or will there be an equivalent Factory for every…instance uh no so there's so the economy on factories is not instance at all that's that's all persistent all those nodes
Watch at 00:20:11 ↗know cargo or items are dumped out in space um the items will only persist as long as that instance is up so as long as there's people flying around in that instance and the items will be there…moment the instance sort
Watch at 00:42:58 ↗also since we can't have all the players all in the same room at the same time we instance stuff so we matchmaking the instancing so one of the one of the things we will definitely do in the algorithm…also down on the planets is you basically go in and out of sort of containers which is the instance and so we're always putting you in and out when you go to a new area in space or the same
Watch at 00:34:07 ↗going to start out with right and do we have to find out Jason like where we start sharding the instances or breaking them off into other like how many how many people can fit into one instance for instance part
Watch at 00:20:01 ↗fast as possible and that's exactly what we're doing right there from VI vku viu with the whole instance thing going around in the persistent universe will it try and put members of the same Corp in the same instance…like divide up into squadrons or something squadrons will stay together and you may even get to allocate what instances they go to at some point we don't know how that's going to work so you can have
Watch at 00:11:28 ↗total we don't know so we we haven't ascertained how many actual players we can get in one instance yet also do you own an Idis well yeah no we want to get as many people as possible no just…server side and the characters you're running so we can get as many people as many ships in an instance as possible but uh you know
Watch at 00:10:55 ↗game server that it chooses that the matchmaking service chooses that's available when it talks to an instance manager that tracks all the game server instances running and then your client then redirects its uh cry Network its uh gameplay connection
Watch at 00:20:49 ↗That that could happen on some ships at some point. Not that you've seen it yet. Um but for instance, we long time ago gave some players the Electra skin, our early backers, the Electra skin, which lets you change…paint job on the fly. So, that would let you change your pirate ship into a military-looking ship, for instance. So, yeah, there were And you can also spoof your ID. Spoofing your ID, that's true. You want to make
Watch at 00:20:34 ↗deliberately designing things so there is no best ship uh you know so something like the caterpillar for instance if you were more into sort of trying to board a bigger ship take him over caterpillar is better definitely better for that…also you know all the different ships are going to have sort of different pros and cons so for instance you know bigger ships are cool because you know can have multiple people on them you can have turrets walk around
Watch at 00:27:49 ↗ship, that really determines the shape of that ship. So, if a ship has a different number of hardpoints, for instance the 350, which has two thruster hardpoints instead of one, then you cannot change one ship to the other. Same with…these special variants where there is a different body style. You can't add another seat to a Hornet, for instance, same idea. Cool. All right, cool. Then this is from Emo Stomper. Cool name, cool video. I was just noticing that
Watch at 00:23:13 ↗parts work is they they have physical locations in the ship so if you do shoot through the armor for instance and hit a certain location you might damage you know different components right um so it's not a whole point…weak not yeah not necessarily that much detail but certainly there are spots you should aim for like for instance the Aurora says Target here with missiles sitting on top it's like don't you want to shoot there first
Watch at 00:20:31 ↗persistent the planet's persistent any shops that are on a planet that's all persistent uh the only instancing is a temporary thing which is what we're handling in space to basically handle for the fact that you could have…also on the server side uh but all the economy and resources is uh is persistent it's not instance at all um so I guess the answer would be no cool from from Tason based on the economy preview another another
Watch at 00:20:58 ↗given region of space or what missions are available to landing zone couldn't be altered by the instance mission logic that executes on individual servers since we didn't yet have a means of coordinating those efforts the end result
Watch at 00:26:04 ↗back-end logic allocates the global variables sets up the phase conditionals informs all of the servers to start any instance logic the event might contain and quite a bit more i'm now going to flip over to quasar's active
Watch at 00:29:16 ↗much more of a game mechanic. So, uh here's where we would have the various So, like for instance, this is just a simple one, a collection from Yela. Customer requires medical supplies crates to be collected from an outpost
Watch at 00:04:56 ↗filled out all the shops in Levski and added some stuff uh in other places like Port Olisar. So, for instance, there's shops for ship items and weapons. But let's go and find Miles Eckhart. Uh so, besides besides
Watch at 00:11:29 ↗- 00:09:53Let's Play: Wing Commander: The Secret Missions II 25th Anniversary LivestreamUncategorizedApr 201610y old
know Battlefront and then they would plan the five expansions um may have been the very very very first instance of that so secret missions one used the win Commander one executable you know if you got wi Commander
Watch at 00:09:53 ↗ - 02:08:19Let's Play: Wing Commander: The Secret Missions II 25th Anniversary LivestreamUncategorizedApr 201610y old
damage to it actually this is the rare instance we could say hey you should see the other guy I have taken damage to my computer system what are we waiting for me to do for all be moving you have
Watch at 02:08:19 ↗ - 01:42:43Let's Play: Wing Commander: The Secret Missions 25th Anniversary LivestreamUncategorizedDec 201511y old
disappear um that sounds like a Draymond the game was not in tended to have two dren in the same instance well there's the Minefield they can hit mines going back slept near eight-legged horse of Odin the god slept
Watch at 01:42:43 ↗ - 02:52:55Let's Play: Wing Commander: The Secret Missions 25th Anniversary LivestreamUncategorizedDec 201511y old
like um kind of the the the um sort of pilot killboard it's just that uh you know for instance on the well in Squadron 42 you're on a small ship at the beginning so it's not like there
Watch at 02:52:55 ↗ command or timeline we typically have to use other sources such as the uh claw marks manual that says for instance that the uh the TCS show is on 26 54140 uh which matches up to the port Headland series of missions
Watch at 01:58:34 ↗they react to situations how they follow my orders um if I want up stuck with Maniac for instance he simply will not listen to me he will never form on my wing he'll never return to base um spirit
Watch at 02:05:08 ↗have to travel around the universe and some places is where you you know like for instance you probably won't be able to buy an M50 everywhere or certain kinds of weapons and so hopefully it it will uh force people
Watch at 00:11:44 ↗
