New update

I've updated the client, updater, and server yesterday. More bug fixes. The client that I had uploaded apparently didn't work at all on windows 7 machines, but worked fine on winxp machines.

I hacked out all the Direct3D stuff because of incompatibilities with Windows 7. DirectX 7 and 8 3D is totally unsupported with Windows 7 (meaning it no worky at all). So that will have to wait until I can finish upgrading the client code to .NET.

The updated client and updater can update through the updater. The server must be manually downloaded.

Downloads Up

OK. I have uploaded all of the files needed to play the game. And I can't believe it, I made the end of the week deadline with 12 minutes to spare :).

The registry is online and the updater and server should both connect to it just fine. I'll have to run more tests to be sure or have someone report back to me, but all in all, I can't believe I made the deadline.

Too many fixes/changes to list right now, so I'll do that in a later post on the forums.

Visit the download section at the top of this page to find the downloads. The server registry link at the top is still in development and not supported by these downloads.

[EDIT 07/27/10 - 12:13AM]

Just finished a few more admin features on this site, mainly being able to edit news posts :P. But anyway. New version of updater has been uploaded, fixes registry connection issues. Server update is coming very soon.

Odyssey Revival

Since you are here, you are probably aware that I am reviving Odyssey here. You may or may not know me from when Steverino's reign. I was BigRed/BigRedPK. I helped a lot of people with running their servers and creating scripts for them, and now I am running and maintaining Odyssey.

As you are probably aware, older versions of Odyssey do not work properly on Windows Vista or Windows 7 without tweaks. Visual Basic 6 is an unsupported language and therefore Odyssey is highly outdated. I rewrote the sockets for Odyssey so it now works again, but I am nowhere near done.

As you can see here, we have a new registry running here that should be more permanent. However it is still very in a very BETA stage. This site is under heavy construction as well. If you would like to use the new registry right now, a BETA server/client will be uploaded soon that supports it.

Otherwise, please be patient while we make changes to this site and get the downloads page up and running.

Welcome

This is a test news post. I am trying out the news post creation scripts. If done properly, this should render two paragraphs, complete with date and time that I submitted the post.

The current time is approximately 12:45am CST on July 17, 2010. If the time does not match, I may need to adjust the timestamp dynamically. All times for posts will be in CST (that is Central Standard Time for the United States timezones) since that is when they will originate from. Adjust accordingly.
