New webserver:

If you’re seeing this message, your computer has picked up the address of the new server, which means you can post and get points without worry of them getting lost. The wiki is still being copied, so that and a few other pages will be updated in the next few days.

Service Outages

Wednesday July 29, 2009 | by IncaWarrior

Leaving Gamespy:

Sadly Gamespy/IGN is shutting down their hosting services so we will no longer be hosting anything on Gamespy servers. On the up side, that means we will no longer have to deal with the recently slow Gamespy servers and old software installations.Populous: Reincarnated will be moving to a new server at SolunaNet within the next several days, which may result in some service outages as different records update and are copied to the new server. I will try to keep any outages to the low times (11PM - 2AM EST) to avoid causing interruptions. There will hopefully be no more issues with the login server going down as the was tonight, though while using the Gamespy server, it will probably still be slow and unreliable.

New Staff:

Several new staff members have been added in the past few months to help maintain services.The new and old Matchmaker Moderators in charge of maintaining order in the MM and helping out players (including granting Name Changes) are:

Smudgey
Red
Insanity (Walhallah)
Kiyana
Shakkazulu

In order to keep up with the mappacks submitted to the site, there are Mappack Checkers who can review and upload new packs. They are:

Fury
TedTycoon
Suleiman
Nefarius

And finally in the forums we have a couple people to moderate some key areas - Kurtangle and Keith52.Welcome to all of you.

Matchmaker Update!

Wednesday December 24, 2008 | by IncaWarrior

Matchmaker 1.4.1.0 Released:

Unfortunately our original developer of the matchmaker - ALACN - has retired from the world of Populous due to other time commitments. Fortunately I have taken over the development and released an update!

The latest version includes several new features including:

Auto-Away: Sets your status to (away) after 20 minutes of not using the matchmaker or not moving your mouse
Nick Alerts: Alerts you whenever your name (or any word) is typed in the mm with a friendly DONG!
Matchmaker Actions: Type ’/me does something’ to get your message across in action form just like on IRC
Nick Tab Completion: Start typing the name of a player in the lobby and hit tab to have the name completed. Hit tab again if you want to get the next name (if there are multiple choices).
Map File Comparisons: Now on launch the matchmaker will automatically compare the files the host has installed to the files of all the players to verify that they are exactly the same. This should prevent some resynchronizing.
Random Map Generator: As soon as there is a mappack that can use this, I’ll explain more. Basically it generates a randomish map based on scripts using Ted’s random map generator.
identd.exe: What is this strange new file? It’s actually an identd server that will allow many people to connect to IRC much faster. You need to set your computer as a DMZ on your router if you’re on a network.

There are a few other minor updates and fixes, but those are fairly obvious on how they work.
