Server outage
Nov 4
Please note that all resources on Isaac’s server (e.g. the International Simutrans form) are down at this time, and have been so for about 30 minutes as of the time of this post.
Investigations are in progress. I think it’s at the datacenter level (i.e. I have no control over the issue). If so, I do believe this is the first time this has happened.
I will update this post with further information as it becomes available.
EDIT: There is a power distribution issue at the datacentre. I have no current ETA at this time. I cannot recall a similar issue in the past, so I don’t expect this issue to happen again once it’s resolved.
EDIT2: As of 11:02p Central, 52 minutes after initial outage, server has come back up – at least for now. Further updates as warranted.
SMSC October edition winners
Oct 30
The October edition of the Simutrans Monthly Screenshot Contest has finished. Congratulations to all people who took part in it.
After a long wait, a new official version of pak128.Britain has been released today! The new version contains mostly bugfixes, but it also incorporates some new objects such as additional citybuildings and ships.
You can download the new version from sourceforge.
We have great news for russian simutrans players. The simutrans community has decided to open a new language board for russian speakers, since many people has manifested their interest on this issue lately. It will be moderated by inkelyad.
In addition to that, the ISF team has enabled the russian language for the forum interface, so now there’s no excuse. Get an account at the forum, select russian as your native language, and enjoy been part of a growing community of players, artists and developers!
Visit the new Russian language board at the International Simutrans Forum.
We managed to fix a small problem in one of posts that broke the layout of the blog; depending on the browser the blog becomes almost unreadable.
The problem solved: the theme of our blog and the blog itself are back at all steam.
The theme apparently caused some problems, so temporarily it’s back to the default…
The Autumn begins and we launch a new edition of SMSC with a classic vehicle in Simutrans. The subject of this month is Bus stations and hubs.
Everybody can participate, with only one screenshot of 800 x 600 pixels, in jpg or png formats. You can use any pakset, and the deadline is October 18th. The voting begins on October 19th.
The prize will be a mention of your nickname in the Simutrans Hall of Fame, praises from the whole community and one post including your picture at blog and simutrans.com.
