are you connecting at school or work? if so, that could be the problem, they could be preventing you from connecting, forcing you to use a proxy server instead. As long as you have internet, and you put centauri.servegame.com in the host field and you put 7777 in the port field, or, you're using a command line client, in which, I would assume you know how to use it, there should be nothing stopping you from reaching the MOO. I am there every day, most days anyhow.

So, lets try to trouble shoot this, are you on a windows, or mac machine, if windows, do you use NVDA, if so, do you have NVDARemote, if so, I could help you. You're from indonesia, right? You would have to have it speaking in English, because I'm a monolinguist to the core... haha.

Certainly, there is no reason you couldn't reach the MOO, unless, as I have pointed out, you are attempting to connect from school owr work.

OK, and what client are you using?

hmm, that is vvery odd because those clients should connect you with no problem

well, if you want me to take a look for you, let me know, you can also add me on skype:  bscross32 and I will talk to you there if you wish

ok, but how can you not speak English if you can write it fine. ANyway, I can fix it up for you if you want to use NVDA Remote

Flux Enhancements

A series of new changes are coming, some brought about because of the Hyperloops, some, just because changes make life interesting and different.

One of the newest changes is the ability to co build an area with other players.
Typically, in a MOO type system, only the owner of said object or room, can modify that object. With co build, people can work together to add to an area, change descriptions, seating, noises, etc.
This does include adding new rooms and exits, adding to the overall structure.
The power of this ability is unheard of as far as I know, as I have never seen this on another MOO, ever.
Imagine being able to work with others to develop a whole city, and while working some corner of it, being able to fix things on the spot, rather than having to tell the project owner to fix so-and-so, because you cant. Of course, this does assume that the people on the project understand the ultimate goals, so they are working for the same end result. This really comes to light when people look around at something others have built, as the primary builder might not have noticed something that someone less familiar with that particular place will see immediately.
In these bigger social type interactions, communication is key, so that the end goal is realized with a minimum of fuss.  Perhaps a few are delegated to the major structure related to rooms, exits and directions for an area, while others are slated for filling in some details, perhaps the local virtual seating for a room, or noises (which can be time related).

I have tested all this with my alts, to be sure the minimums work, tho it might take some minor tweaking as issues come up.

An interesting concept to ponder, to be sure.

Recent Changes

A lot of toys in FluxWorld are designed to encourage people to explore and look around and they are rewarded pretty darn well for this.  Unfortunately, some see fit to use this like a 100 bazillion times to make cash, which was never the design goal. Its not a cash cow, its a reward for trying something new.
Because of this, many of these toys will now record when each player last used this particular device, and its use time will double for each use, per player, per day. This means about 8 times max per day, not 100s, and even 8 is a lot, and may change, as doubling per day can be changed to quadroupling inside the code in one spot. Depends on the abusers.

Question for the community, why do people have to abuse a system and beat a feature to death? Do they think thats how you make money? Is it because they find such a thing the easiest? Lately, I spend a lot of time programming out cheaters and abusers from doing things like this, and I only put it in when I see severe abuses, there never was such things when everyone 'played nice'

Some are intimidated by the sheer size of FluxWorld, so many things were put in place to encourage some exploration, apparantly, some are too easy, as they just do that all day long.

The goal of Flux is to try a bit of everything, not do one thing a 100 bazillion times, its not a grinding machine.

One of the newest ideas is space exploration, but in a new way. We've always had space areas and planets to go visit, but this is more along the lines of going to an uncharted or un-explored sector and scanning for suitable stars and potentially habitable planets around those stars. If good planets are found, a team might even go visit it and see if there is some civilization down there.

This would add to the Flux Universe in general, as new planets and systems are added. A feather in your cap, to be sure, if you were part of a team that found such a place.

We have a couple of large ships suitable for living on and performing such missions. Seeing is believing!

does anybuddy know where i can buy an aircraft or a spaceship in this mud?

yeah, but where i can get those shuttles, where is a place to get them?

When it comes to the new space exploration we're talking about, buying a shuttle will be useless. A standard class shuttle has impulse only speed and cannot venture beyond the soar system it was bought in. To truely visit other worlds will require what is known as warp or hyperdrive ability, it just too far at sub light speeds. Consider this, even earths nearest neighbor is 4.3 light years away, and even at 90% the speed of light, its close to 5 years of travel time.
Most of our new star systems are going to be 20 to 50 or even a 100 light years away. This means joining the crew of one of the big ships, that have this warp or hyperdrive ability. its not somewhere you can go on your own in a small 10 by 10 sized space can.
Now, given that, there are plenty of specialized duties aboard such ships. Stellar cartography, spectral analysis, habital zone analysis, security. and many more.
In short, these new abilities are cooperative efforts over many people.

Flux has a number of 'events' that fire off automatically, especially in outdoor or caves areas. some of these can be delayed. While some might enjoy the use of sounds like a creaking door or the howling of the wind. the timing of such a thing might not be in sync with the rest of the system, as most of these have a delayed start.
The bigger issue for me, is that a text based MUD relies on its descriptions and messages relating to sound and other things going on. This is much like a book, where your mind fills in the blanks based on what you read. forcing an exact sound, rather that whats in your imagination, is like the movie directors version of a book, rather than yours.
None of my active players have said that soundpacks of any sort would help. as the descriptions are rich enough where they count.
