Doubtful.  I think Sentinel is keyed in to NCSoft's former servers.  It would need to be revised.
Sentinel had to be recompiled with each live release.  It was designed to sniff for data in specific memory addresses in the client while it was running.  Those addresses changed every time the client was recompiled, so Sentinel had to be updated each time.

For Sentinel to work on a private server, it would have to be compiled to work specifically with the current client files compatible with that server.

I'm still three pages behind, so this may have already been mentioned (and I'll come back to this and edit it when I get caught up).

I was about to wince and ask how tough that would be.

Then I remembered that we essentially have a 24-7 Coding Party fueled by incredible amounts of enthusiasm and Mountain Dew. Practically a "Million Monkeys on a Million Typewriters producing Shakespeare." :D

Toss it into the screaming furball and less than 24 hours later the finished product will come sailing out ready to go I bet. :D

ok wow. I wasn't expecting insane power proliferation (spine broots! fire stalker!) or the post i24 power sets. but the one that really got me was the no redraw option on weapons.

I want to read that.

I might need to think on the next Waddle adventure, then.

I did read and greatly enjoy your book series that was based (loosely) on the City of Heroes group of characters. But I for one don't intend to use any of them. Nevertheless, just for clarity, since you mentioned it, could you give a quick list of the ones that you don't mind people using versus the ones the that are NOT yours that you can't speak for? Or is that already outlined in the books or online somewhere?

This is major characters off the top of my head that are NOT mine
Red Saviour, Untermensch, Chug, Soviet Bear, Mojiotok, Ramona Ferrarri (aka Steel Maiden), Jack, Spin Doctor, People's Blade, Handsome Devil, The Mountain, Bulwark, Red Djinni, John Murdock, Penny, Harmony, Dominic Verdigris III, Dixie Belle, Yankee Doodle, Yankee Pride, Eisenfaust, Barron, Scope, Acrobat, Panacea, Gilead, Mel, Valkyria, Mercurye, Kid Zero, Kid One, Leader of the Pack, Paperback Rider, the-other-guy-that-died-heroically-blowing-up-the-train, Alex Tesla, Marconi and Tesla the ghosts-in-the-machine, Arthur Chang, Khanjar, Soviette, Speed Freak, Rebel Yell, Bad Bowie, Ubermensch, The Black Baron, Worker's Champion, and of course, Doppelgaenger.

Yes, people are entering the server - but it is not stable yet.

The download is slow as well. I am waiting for a while until things get smoothed out.
You can use your existing copy of i24 files / Icon / Paragon Chat. That accounts for bulk of what has to be downloaded.

However, they have to prove loss related to a FREE TO PLAY closed game that isn't being monetized and is running at zero cost to them.
They have to prove it in the USA.
NCSoft still holds one City Of Heroes trademark that hasn't lapsed, valid apparently until 2023.

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Wow!  Just Wow is all I have to say.  It has been an amazing and exciting 24 hours.  I am not sure how much we are supposed to talk about here but I suggest everyone join the Discord and see that amazing work going on!  If someone 2 weeks ago told me I would have experienced what I did tonight I would have called them a liar with extreme prejudice.

I got my Sonic/Ice blaster Ironwolf up to 5 and then logged to cut some brush up - living on a farm it doesn't stop until dark.

Well yes and no - this is only test code.

A lot of work needs to be done for the future - I am getting a web host for a site and will start building a server site. Once the code is fixed and tweaked - I will rent a server according to specs and off we go.

I think right about when I retire is how long it will take, so end of August. I don't want the earliest server just the most stable one. Once that happens another server will open!

End of August.  That sounds good to me. 

Hard to believe you were leading the efforts to get the talks going all those years ago.

And now?  Mere months away from setting up an 'Ironwolf Server.'

For the cause.

The stuff of dreams.
