Re: Cosmic Tactical Combat Simulator

Hey illwieckz, thank you for your reply! > "What was the approximate compute time for the CTCS lightmaps on your end?" I think it was around 30–40 minutes for all stages on a Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 64 GB RAM running Windows 11. I see, that's what I expected. When reworking some lighting and...

Re: Cosmic Tactical Combat Simulator

I also wanted to say I like the gloomy atmosphere of it! The sRGB lightmap storage seems to be a great help there to keep this gloomy atmosphere while avoiding color banding in the darkened areas. It's great to see maps starting to leverage that! I was eager to see how it would look once those impro...

Re: Cosmic Tactical Combat Simulator

That's awesome! And the map itself looks very nice! 😍 Also it's very nice I'm currently taking a break after the 0.56.2 release but when I'll be back I'll host it on my server! 😀 I was surprised you used CRN for lightmaps, but it looks like they are so high res that they avoid the usual artifacts we...

Re: Unexpected unavailability for Disaster Recovery

So I have bad news. The two disk replacements finished successfully. Everything was fine. I did a complete scrub, everything was fine. But I wanted to do a filesystem conversion to bring new features meant to make it faster. Out of caution I kept this conversion on hold since February of 2025 (14 mo...

Re: Unexpected unavailability for Disaster Recovery

I thought 0.56.1 had already happened.

I meant 0.56.2. 🤪️

I guess it was just a bad dream.

The bad dream would be dreaming that 0.56.1 never happened and never fixed the bug that would have discouraged players to join servers. 🫣️🤭️

Re: Unexpected unavailability for Disaster Recovery

Replacement of the second drive is due soon™: 92.3% done, 0 write errs, 0 uncorr. read errs I started drafting some layout on my laptop for the linuxfr.org article. Unlike the unvanquished blog post, I want it to summarize the changes done since 0.55, since the last article there was for 0.55. I wan...

Re: Negotiations for chat ban removal are now open (in fact, re-opened)

Negotiations with Sweet succeeded and Sweet's chat ban has been lifted. I have done what I assume was needed to remove the bans on the platforms, if that doesn't work just send me a message. There was no other active bans than chat so now everything is lifted up for Sweet.

Re: Unexpected unavailability for Disaster Recovery

Replacement of first drive is almost over: 👀️👀️👀️ 99.0% done, 0 write errs, 0 uncorr. read errs Once this is done I'll have to replace the second drive. The first drive was needed to secure the data, the second drive is required to secure redundancy. So I may start using my working environment the r...
