I just saw this thread here in the forum and desided to ask Marti what's about with this new version - the results of the chat:

lfempire: hello marti
do you have a sec for one question?
I heard rumors that you and Starsky want to create a LF2 v2.0
is this right or wrong?
that's all...
Marti: let me see
we are actually working on a new version of LF2
but it is not v2.0
lfempire: which else?
Marti: actually, not a big change
just add background music
and add a "recording" feature
lfempire: so it's more a modification, but no new characters or so?
Marti: no new chars or moves
lfempire: ok

[...]

hm, this new game
what will it be like?
Marti: a fighting game
again
lfempire:
Marti: with RTS, supports online
like battle mode of LF2
lfempire: what is RTS?
the online fight ?
Marti: Real time strategic
lfempire: ah
Marti: like warcraft
that is fighting + RTS
lfempire: will we be able to modify this game, too?
Marti: not planned yet
probably not at the early stage
lfempire: ok

[...]

Marti: actually
lfempire: and thanks for the info
Marti: the recording feature
is created for a competition
we will post some goal in official website
and ask players to record their gameplay which achieves the goal
the player with the best "performance" wins
that's for 10 year anniversary of LF2
lfempire: wow, sounds great
do you already know the name of the game?
Marti: yup. but we are still working on the update.
may take a long time because we can only spend spare time to do that
the name is not yet decide
I go sleep now. nice to talking with u.
lfempire: yeah, thanks
bye
Marti: see you

YOu can enter the LFE IRC Channel now while using a java based client here. YOu can reach it while clicking the IRC Chat Icon on top of the forum. For further help go to IRC Help Thread

You may have recognized that LFE was down yesterday evening for one or two hours. During this time we reinstalled everything on the old server and configured him for his future work.

Since only Images and Downloads are hosted there, there's now a restrictionfor max downloads at a time and so (which you should actually never realise since it's high enough to fit with this site).

This was necessary because several stuff was broken on the old server and with the reinstall we guaranteed that the forwarding from the old server to the new server works and the old server crash less often (hopefully).

That's it, have fun ^_^

We now test the Rating System for download on the mainsite again.
Actually this was one of the two modules which created errors like hell while running the mainsite on the old server. Now on this one we already have it since an hour or so, I myself voted a lot and no new error was reported.

Would still please you in case you get an error message report it here.



Edit: Same for the Gallery: Fanart Section is finally up again and looks like the gallery we once used works perfectly on the new server. Please report errors.

Thanks
MH
