Latest Updates to CLC
Posted: 22 Apr 2011, 23:18
As some of you are aware there have been a couple of updates, both to LFS and also CLC.
1. Z30 Patch Release
On 22nd April Z30 client and host patches were released. Both CLC hosts have been patched to Z30.
Z30 offers some significant improvements for the cruising community...
1.Second Server
As mentioned in the questions thread in my response to DK we now have a second server. At the moment the intent is that this will be configured as a Demo server. It is early days though and we will see how things pan out.
Basically it is in the minds of the Admin's a second server, so can and will be used for Demo / Events / Testing as we see fit. If Demo turns out to be a free-for-all that cannot be managed like the S2 server then we will likely configure it as an S2 server. Hopefully we won't have to do this and we can offer CLC to a wider audience.
User files are linked, so you can earn on either track. Equally our Towtrucks and Police can undertake all of their usual duties on either track at any time.
There are a couple of obvious differences though which are driven by the lack of layouts. Road signs are permanently displayed as there are no poles to show the speedlimits. The shop has no shopkeeper function as it's difficult to position yourself accurately at the right location.
During times such as now with the launch of Z30 and the work that we have to do to our layouts, the Demo server is being employed for development work and is temporarily unavailable.
Edit: 2nd Server currently set as [CLC] CityLifeCrew 2 and running whilst we do track development. Come see what's happening, but on't be surprised if a barrier appears (or disappers) in front of you!
