The game server status is now indicated by the small icon in the top right of the page. It's green if the server's up, red if it's down. It's updated every minute, but obviously you have to refresh the page to get the new status.

If anyone wants the api details for retrieving server status for your own site, PM me or something.

Would just like to apologize for the downtime, it's pretty much completely my fault. Messing up the client patching, followed by a rushed build of the installer, that I also subsequently broke.

After building this, assuming it was all Ok I had proceded to remove the harddrives from the build machine (maintenance stuff), which then left me without a machine to rebuild on when I realised the uploaded update was broken. It took me a while to build the update again on my other machine, and that's pretty much the reason for the downtime.

I apologize.

The changelog is detailed in the MOTD (Message of the Day/Captains Log) ingame, but basically it introduces updated object images (brood plates, keys, some new weapon images), doubles the locker size and fixes some labels. Below is how to update. Note: If you are on a 64-bit operating system, please see the additional notes before following the steps.

Update Procedure

1. Download the client update from http://hostilespace.co.uk/Uploads/Update_1607.exe

2. Run the client update

3. When you are presented the dialog box asking you where you would like to extract to, enter
   "C:\Program Files\InterAdventure\HostileSpaceRevived" (without quotes, assuming you installed to C:)

4. Click Yes or Yes to All if asked to overwrite files

5. Your client should now be updated. Restart the launcher if you haven't already, and give it a go.

Additional Notes

• If you are on a 64-bit operating system, you will need to enter the following string, rather than that detailed above:
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\InterAdventure\HostileSpaceRevived"

Ok, work on the game accounts/character management stuff is taking a tad longer than expected, but it will be done soon!

We have noticed that we have some forum users registering that aren't actually doing anything, they haven't posted etc. We suspect this may be some type of spam-bot or similar. Because of this, I have enabled e-mail verification for new accounts and plan to replace the default captcha with recaptcha.

If anyone is having issues in regard to registering on the forum, send an e-mail my way (epl.4000@gmail.com) detailing the issue and i'll fix try to fix it ASAP.

Yesterday, a main site went up with a few pages. It's just got the basics, and should suffice until we get something better =P I haven't quite worked out what's going to populate the first landing page yet, currently it's just some news although I don't see much need for that if it's also here. I'll have to have a think.

Tonight i updated the forum theme to match the homepage. Would like to hear feedback and what you think. Please alert me if I've missed any elements or anything doesn't fit/look right. I'll work to fix it!
