Everything Wormy has said and done, newest first: what they posted on the wall, what they answered, and what the game recorded. Back to Wormy's profile.
replied to Wormy — Bringing the servers back up... FOR GOOD.
Yeah I worked on the custom sprites a little today but I am not sure if they are fully functional yet.
The bad thing I noticed today was that some characters that are newer are gone out of the system. I think that might mean this is an older version of the game.... So some of the stuff I fixed before could be back :/ I dont know why I cant find the latest version but its sorta too late now anyways.New Server System!
I spent all day yesterday restructuring the website so the game server is now hosted on my computer at home. This will solve all the problems with my webhost letting the servers go offline. :-) I am not upset with my host; they were pretty nice about hosting my games anyways, because normally they do not do that for clients and were making an exception.
They were making the exception because the host I was with before (vistapages) allowed the game servers, and vistapages was bought out by hostMDS, which does not allow these game servers. But since vistapages did allow them, hostMDS kept allowing it. Apparently though my account kept being reverted back to default every time the server was restarted (or something like that, they were not telling my why it was happening), and every time I had to contact them to get it going again (usually taking 3-5 emails back and forth). It was really frustrating and I have been wanting to make this change for a while now but haven't because of the time I knew it would take.
Having the server on my home computer really puts me back in control of server downtime. I am paying for a pretty good speed internet right now so I don't think you guys will be unhappy with the network lag. My games always have a lot of network lag anyways because they are coded so improperly 🙄
I had to go through a lot of very very old code and make a lot of changes and now I am afraid there are more bugs then ever. I will try to go through and correct some bugs this month, with a focus on the main Chip N Dales game.- victorlol
an error in the game but I think I realized the character moves only makes it hard to play if single happen to me, all my trophies are erased hope reply

I will go through some of the other online games soon and make them work too! Not sure when though I will be pretty busy this upcoming week.
Bringing the servers back up... FOR GOOD.
Hi guys. I know you have been upset about the servers being down so long, as usual. It seems like the last 3 times I got them up they go down within days or weeks.
And its a huge pain for me to get them back up again. Well this time I have had enough, and I am no longer going to be using hostMDS to host the game servers.
I am going back to how I originally did my online games and I will be hosting the servers on my home computer again. This means that the servers will be up more often and if they do go down I can get them up asap without sending 5 emails back and forth with my webhost.
I spent my entire day today getting things running and converting CND 2.0 to work with my home computer. It should work now, but I haven't tested everything and since theres a new intermediate script handling all the client/server data I think there may be some problems...
So can you guys do me a great favor and check the accessibility of the game for me? I am thinking that the & character might be problematic now... So if your world had a & character in it somewhere on a sign or object or something it might be messed up. Or in the trophy system. I don't know, please just play with it and report new bugs in this thread.- rilezTNUKI
it still says it down for me, but i then again i tried today at 7:10PM Eatern. chat connection fails, my trophies are gone when leave world, and i change to toad when i enter my "successfully" claimed house. i couldnt edit the house, and i fell forever.

replied to kerbykong — Link to the past has been found!
Haha the funny thing is I forgot where link was too until you wrote it in Jean.
replied to JeanMarc — Official (maybe... or not) Suggestions thread
I would like to add a music button to the game but I probably wont since I don't want to dabble in its code anymore, it is just too messy.
I took Absent0's advice and added a list of the newest members. It is on the main Discussion page under the newest posts.replied to JeanMarc — Join the Wizard community!
Hey JeanMarc, have you been able to successfully give people this trophy using the websites scripts?
replied to loopy — Told wormy on Facebook about the server...
Meanwhile I will make a few small fixes to the site :-) Anything big I should know about?
replied to loopy — Told wormy on Facebook about the server...
I have been playing with it a lot but really in the end it seems to be a problem on my webhosts end. I have sent a few emails back and forth with them the last couple days and I am waiting on them now again.
replied to loopy — Told wormy on Facebook about the server...
I thought that the servers got back up. Sorry... I do wan't them to be up/want the site to be running. It is hard to find time for it though especially now that I am in grad school.
replied to JeanMarc — Official (maybe... or not) Suggestions thread
Hi Ficarra, I am going to be experimenting with new platforms soon. I am developing a game for android mobile phones and I will probably release an EXE version as well that can be played from your desktop.
replied to Wormy — New Contest: Explore the New Site and Win!
The link you are looking for is not that exact link, but he looks similar. It is from the same spritesheet. He is smaller though. :-) I am not surprised you guys haven't found it yet, its really hard to find. I might have to move it... Haha.
Bug Fixes
I am still fixing bugs on the website and in games. Heres an overview of what I have done this week:
I fixed a bug in the Mario World game that was keeping game objects from preloading their graphics, leading to enemies to sometimes 'disappear' temporarily while their graphic changed. I also fixed a few behind the scenes bugs in Mario World. I am going to be making Mario World 'playable' next by integrating the race system into the CND website and making it so you can switch from zone to zone within Mario World.
Big news! I am working on a new multiplayer game, which I am calling Star Sky 2 right now, but I am not sure if I will maintain that name or come up with something (much) better. It is a space RPG which incorporates 8-bit graphics, space invader arcade gameplay, asteroid PvP gameplay, and an RPG meta-game (leveling up, items, etc).
I do not know how far I will get in this project. Currently you can fly around single-player and engage enemies that are sitting around. When you destroy an enemy it enters you into a seamless combat cloud where you are now engaging in space invader gameplay. I have the space invader gameplay in but you cannot collect items or xp yet and the space invaders just fly around... They do not shoot bullets yet. There is no sound. I will put the game online once it has more playability... IE, space invaders fight back and you can earn XP and items.
The website has a lot of leftover bugs to clean up. Sorry for those who have lost your High Post Count, contact JeanMarc and he will correct it for you. I have fixed the bug that sent people back to '1 forum post'. I have also fixed several bugs relating to players public profile (recent posts and email this user).
JeanMarc has been awesome enough to hand out Terra's Rose... Thank you Jean. :-)
I am now off school so I will try to do some more awesome updates.
Also, if you have a phone with the android operating system then you are in for a treat, because I am developing my new Star Sky game primarily for the phone. There will be an online version too, but since it will be making use of touch screen interface, the game is optimized for the phone.
The Android OS is simply amazing. If you are going to get a new phone I highly recommend getting an Android phone (there are many of them). Personally I have the Droid and it is way better than I thought it would be... It is easily better than the iPhone and probably even better than the new iPhone coming out due to all the restrictions Apple imposes on its customers.- JeanMarc
Hey, maybe you should fix the glitch that prevents to see some of the new posts on the threads you made and the glitch that prevents to change save areas/characters on the actual game. You can change your character via your profile but it won't change in-game.

I'm in edgewood. Dose location effect the process to making it onto a server? I've tried 37 times in 4 days to try and get on the stuff, but it always leads to the "do you want to play offline?" thing. Which leads me to another comment. The controls don't work for my laptop. BTW (by the way) my laptop works perfectly it's a 2 year old windows Vista computer. Is there anything you can do about my 2 problems?

Post Game and Website Bugs Here
With the new website I am sure there are a ton of errors and bugs. Please post them here and I will try to fix them asap! :-)- JeanMarc
Yeah, The trophies aren't saved and you can't buy a house. It says you just just bought a house, inside the house it's glitched and it doesn't save the fact you just bought a house.
