i'm up for big oil, we should do it today

1. We don't mind anybody hosting our mission as long as
   a. They are not claiming to be an official AhoyWorld server
   b. They keep rarek and the site credited
 
2. Helicopters can be used by non pilots but if a request comes in for a pilot to fly that aircraft, the non pilot must give el chopper to the pilot,

All those people not paying. We'd earn exactly no more than we do now

I'm not considering punishment, I feel it's a question that needs asking though.
 
So what if they try to imitate us, it's because we're successful, at the end of the day they just want to have fun too. Using our name isn't ok in my book but neither is teamkilling. It would be much better to at least contact them first than to take a violent vendetta.

Sup AH community!!  Corndog just dropping in to say hello.  Loving the new ACRE server now that release is out.  I cont think of anything else to say, so come play and we can talk in game.  I figure the best introduction is best made on the battlefield.

Got a few today.

Could also try the raz method of sorting from price high to low and then pick the top one regardless.   

Now then, it's no big secret that Invade & Annex has always been the primary AhoyWorld project leaving Minecraft (which we've actually hosted longer) to be neglected and left aside.
 
This neglect however is all about to change, in the next few days we'll be rolling out some new minecraft changes and features to our vanilla server.
 
This first major change in our vanilla server is that we'll have not only one server, but three main servers with an extra mini server on the side.
 
Our four new servers will be:
 
Survival Just like the current world, this will all be carried over.
 
Creative A creative world with no limits to let your imagination fly!
 
Hub world This is an entirely new map to AhoyWorld, this'll be an entirely seperate world with portals leading out to both the Survival and Creative servers. This map will have mobs and PvP turned off (the only way to die here is to drown or to fall).
 
Event world Every so often we'll hold minecraft events, access to these events will be through a permanent portal on the Hub world with the destination changing for each event.



I'll leave you with a few pictures of our progress so far, all we can really say is that we're working really really hard getting it ready for a full rollout!
 
 
 

 

 

 
We'd love your feedback and thoughts on this, fire at will!
 

Dont laugh...

He's a few pictures of the sun dial type thing I made yesterday.
 
I couldn't find anything like this online so I don't really know what to call it...
 

 

Whoop whoop! I'm looking forward to some block bashing. Haven't played in ages. 

I understand how Ahoy+ subscribers should get extra perks. However, I think making a restricted forum splits the community into who has and who hasn't. It'll become an area where subscribers stick to each other and non subscribers stick to each other. It would split the community too much to be viable.
 
Ahoy+ events are a little more feasible however it still takes planning, we can't shut out non subscribers completely since subscribing is a choice and we don't discriminate against those who don't.

Please could everyone who has a problem on our game servers always look for a game server admin first. As core staff we are constantly dealing with messages and we can't always spare the time to go and sort out in game issues when we have game server admins specifically available for this very task.
 
So, in future please make sure you message a game server admin before core staff unless it's a problem only we can deal with.
 
Our ArmA III admins are:
Big Al 
danne 
edward 
Elcour 
Hoax 
Jeff 
John McClane 
Josh 
Liabilities 
MrRepeatz 
R. Berezon 
 
Our Minecraft admins are:

These admins can be easily identified on TeamSpeak by the  or  logo beside their names. Thank you

I was just thinking it might be cool to have a creative minecraft server on Ahoy World. We have some really talented builders here, I am positive we could build an amazing server! I know we can build awesome structures on the survival server, but i think this is limiting as you have to have the supplies and the space claimed. Anyways i think some people may just want to build without having to go through the faff of collecting resources, when you have the sudden urge to build a gigantic pirate ship (ahoy there matey ;D) you want to just let that idea flow without needing to gather stuff first!

I know this would be a target for griefing and such, but isn't that what Whitelists and backups are for? We have a great community here and it'd be cool to see what we could create with the limitlessness of creative mode! 

It would be cool to consider this as a possible addition to the minecraft community here!

This. This is everything I have ever needed without having known I needed it!

I have neglected to update this topic for a while, but rest assured that I'm still hard at work on I&A 3 (I be working on it every night after work and have at least one full day every weekend). 
 
During the creation there have been a few minor changes, but the mission remains wholly as planned and, as mentioned previously, many of the core features are already finished. So what's taking so long, eh?
 
The idea of Invade & Annex 3 is to provide not only players with a dynamic, continuous mission, but to also provide developers with ways of easily expanding game-play without having to trudge through thousands of lines of code to see how to do it. This means, essentially, creating an easy-to-use API that both I and other developers can utilise to create fantastic, dynamic content that slots into the game with ease. This is actually how a lot of game development works in more complicated, open-world games; "tools" are created first which allow developers to churn out content faster and in a more user-friendly fashion that they would otherwise be able to and actual content is created in the later stages.
 
So what I'm currently working on is exactly that: an API. Tactical Missions (previously called Side Missions), for example, now have the ability to create their own mission entirely independent of Invade & Annex that will slot into the system quickly and easily. Creators of these Tactical Missions can provide their own sounds, hints, notifications, markers -- anything they want -- all independent of the core I&A files so missions can be slotted in and out like addons for the mission itself. 
 
This will apply to every single aspect of the game and the plan is for this API to be created first, allowing me and other developers to fork out countless pieces of dynamic content into the game without disrupting other elements.
 

 
I probably should've put this at the top, but here goes. Alpha testing is expected to start shortly, ideally within the next couple of weeks. Actual content included in the game will be relatively low (about the same as I&A 2 at the moment), but the depth of these pieces of content is extremely high (see attachment below for a still-not-finished example of one of the Tactical Missions planned; each one of those boxes contains a good few lines of code, adding up to ~1,000 lines all-in-all). The idea is to get every piece of functionality down and then, with the help of this beautifully-crafted API, be able to churn out huge, deep, dynamic pieces of content almost daily.
 
I am already behind on the schedule I had planned, but I would much rather spend extra time getting the functionality prepared and ready than rush out a half-done job. I'm in a rare situation, unlike many triple-A games, where I have freedom from deadlines and time to focus on quality and expandability; I intend to to make the most of that time.
 

good luck getting it resolved...arseholes who do this to sites should be shot!

Well the Lotus 49 has just been released for iRacing so I had to take it around my local Oulton...
 
hmm.. this thing is not easy to drive. Thought I was having a good lap then this happened
 

 
Do not despair though! I plan to be able to do something that resembles a lap by the end of the weekend... hopefully...

My hat arrived!!!
 
Yeah so this is me all cool looking with my hat with famous glass door in background.
 

So here's an actual picture of me not hiding under a traffic cone.
 
I recently met up with my parents as they headed north for the weekend, at the same time I was heading south after 4 days of drops up in the Midlands. This was at a services on the A43 by Towcester.
 

My hat arrived!!!

Would've been nice to credit us. Hey ho....
Either way, big achievement!
