82.198.31.54: /* | Nano's Playground | */

This is a list of current servers, in alphabetical order. To see a list of old servers that no longer exist but were interesting enough to write about, visit the page about [[Old Servers]].

== [http://crazy-tronners.com/portal.php Crazy Tronners Wild Servers] ==

Nice fortress servers with completly different [http://crazy-tronners.com/ladders_new.php ladder system]. Over 90 various maps are rotating in 12 rounds at [http://crazy-tronners.com/servers.php?map=wild Crazy Tronners Wild Fortress] (CTWF). [http://crazy-tronners.com/servers.php?map=cat CTWCatfight] (1v1) and [http://crazy-tronners.com/servers.php?map=dog CTWDogfight] (2v2) are fortresses with custom maps (fake walls, speed hells, chico's rides, race, octagons and many many more) greate for challanges. All placed in Europe.

== ~|DarkSyndicate|~ Arena ==

High rubber Settings

The right place to test your skills. Fast server with high rubber settings. The 100mbit connection did the rest to make the server that popular. Specifications:

*server running armagetron 0.2.8.2
*standard arena
*walls last until you die
*explosions on a wall make gaps to get through
*no winzone activated
*server admins are ~|DS|~segv

== Flynn's Arcade - .:Avl:. Clan Server==

Flynn's Arcade aims to be similar to the actual movie game grid, with emphasis on maneuvering skill, not just speed and rubber (although high speeds are quite possible). Settings include relatively low rubber, moderate speed and acceleration, infinite walls, and a turbo instead of brakes on one server, and good brakes and slow speed on the other server. Brake server is sometimes used for clan training. Servers are run by .:Avl:.C10ud:. (formerly ianthetechie). Homepage is http://flynns.servegame.org/

== [[GP-Clan server]] ==

Low rubber, not infinite, rim makes speed.
Fun to test your LR skills.

== [[Ion]] ==

Ion is a test server hosted by zero. It allows players to test out new server settings and maps without having to use their own server. For more information, please contact [[User:zero]].

== [[MicroBusCity]] ==

This server has long walls and high speeds. There are moderate brakes here. This server is a standard gladiatorial-style arena where you are expected to kill or be killed. Server settings change at the end of every month, but MBC is always winzone-friendly.

== Norms Place ==

A classic style server with friendly people. This server combines the best aspects of classic and fast play minus any bugs or much hated lag. To be among the best here you need skill and a range of strategies; however all are welcome whatever your ability.
For server stats, FAQ and links visit [http://norm.ds-media.eu norm.ds-media.eu]

== Race Server ==

This is the first server of its kind, but the setup is simple: You all start at about the same position of a long narrow alley with many obstacles in it. Whoever arrives first at the other end and hits the winzone there gets declared the winner — if anyone makes it there, that is. Many different obstacles that are tricky to escape, small killzones, sticky rim walls, a passage where the alley gets even narrower or splits, killzone- only rounds, the ability to lay mines to get rid of your followers and the turbo make this server an experience you don't want to miss!

== [[RaceToWinzone]] ==

You drive on the server a genuine running — head at head — with a speed from 0 to > 700. Obstacles will try you there to stop. The level are labyrinth-well-behaved however without erring courses. One must also never the way seeks to separate to simply only loose-race. There are different types of level. Times an obstacle run, times goes it through narrow tunnels, times must you try between the barks to drive. Adrenalin impacts are guaranteed.

== Race From Death Zone ==

Similar to any race server, get to the end first, and hit the win zone. Just here, if you slow down, or make a wrong turn, you smash into the death zone, that is quickly expanding behind you.
With an arrange of different maps and brake to boost, it is a very fun server.
To see server stats and maps, visit [http://www.freewebs.com/racefromdeathzone Race From Death Zone Website]
This server is run by Aang.

== [[Shrunkland]] ==

Small grid, low speed. It is also a standard gladiatorial-style arena. This server is run by Swampy.

== [[Swampland]] ==

This server offers shorter walls and moderately high wall acceleration. It is also a standard gladiatorial-style arena. This server is run by Swampy.

== The Lobster Cage and The Lobster Tub==

The Lobster Cage consists of a Medium/Small Grid, Endless Walls, Moderate Speeds, with Moderate Acceleration. Rubber Is slightly above average. The Lobster Tub is a combination of the server settings of In Limbo, Shrunkland, and The Lobster Cage to make one pretty swanky server. Both have a single use turbo instead of a brake. They also are the first official Armagetron servers to have their own Public Teamspeak Server.

These servers are ran by Dr Joe Tron(Lobster Cage/Tub) and Gomes(Teamspeak Server)

== [[~"XzL.Clan Server]] ==

This server is similar to MicroBusCity. It has high speed, non-infinite walls, and the scoring is based upon core dumps making this server more challenging. This server also has a quickly expanding deathzone that loves to eat your lightcycle.

== | Nano's Playground | ==

A very unique server with several different settings configs. Currently this includes classic nano (default), snake hunt mode (fighting style gameplay with very short tails), brake boost chico, trapdoor madness (very high wallshrink), tail madness (very high NEGATIVE wallshrink), and Durka Durka Nano Land (a midget version of DDL)

Any particular reason your locking everything? I thought it was for players to edit and add stuff they thought people should know?

--TiTnAsS

----

I locked exactly two pages, the main page, and the page that explains why I locked the main page. ''--Lucifer''

----

Yarr, but why was the other one locked? O_o

--TiTnAsS

----

So nobody could edit it? Maybe you could read it and find out, that way I don't have to type the reason twice. ''--Lucifer''

----

Just a reminder for Luci: make the lag section. Also, can we get a game mode section?

-- TiTnAsS

----

You're getting a Miscellaneous section, and periodically when complete sections develop from it then we'll worry about how to link them in, right?

Also, a player's guide. You can talk about lag and game modes there. Makes sense, right? Server Admin Guide, Player Guide.

''--Lucifer''

----

Yup, sounds good.

-- TiTnAsS

----

How about having the wiki policy on the front page?

-- TiTnAsS

----

Is that so people who post to the talk page of the front page will remember to leave their name and a horizontal line?

Other than that, it doesn't really belong here. A feed of newest pages would be better. I'll look at what wikipedia uses for their front page, that's along the lines of what should be here. ''--Lucifer''

----

I'm sry i actually thought i did..

- TiTnAsS

----

Can we get rid of that News section and make it a link, the each day put the date and the new news? We would put the new news on top, but never delete the old, and if there wasnt any news just say No significant news today. That would be cool to be able to look back on past news and stuff. (in the following i wasnt sure how to color text, but the "IMPORANT" would be red :). The kind of news that would go here is:

== News ==

IMPORTANT: 1/1/06:
New ArmagetronAD version 1.0.0 "Bacchus" has been released. It
includes all of the following fixes and features:
blah blah blah...

----

12/9/05:
Lucifer has been elected President of the United States, ALL
REJOICE! Now cannibalism is legal!

----

12/5/05:
Tigers Network has returned! Its back with better settings
then ever, some of the new settings include: new flying cycles,
a statue in the middle dedicated to Tank Program and an all new
moviepack!

Go read the MediaWiki docs and figure out how to do it and I'll be happy to do it. I tried already to get it to show a feed of latest articles, I'd like that and about 4-5 news items. I think that would be cool. --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 19:37, 29 October 2005 (CDT)

We don't need special commands to do it, ill make one and you can revert if you guys dun like it okey?

[[User:TiTnAsS|TiTnAsS]] 21:27, 29 October 2005 (CDT)

----

Why oh why. Hm. Yeah, we do need special commands to do it. Ideally, each news item would be a separate, detailed article, and we'd just feed the headlines and summaries to the front page. Over time, doing it manually becomes very difficult to maintain, and eventually makes it impossible to do certain things with the news. Pretty frustrating.

--[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 21:29, 29 October 2005 (CDT)

----

check how it is now, i think that is fine for now. Or at least give it a try? it wont be to much of a pain to maintain... besides i like the colors :).. if not ill put it back :/

[[User:TiTnAsS|TiTnAsS]] 21:44, 29 October 2005 (CDT)

----

We're on the same page for what it looks like, but you're going to have to trust me that a manually-edited feed is a pain to maintain. Here, look at this:
http://jameshoward.us/Main_Page

Also, dark colors on light or light colors on dark, but never light colors on light. Reason? Visually impaired people can't read them at all. Except for the really blind, who use a screen reader, but I imagine those folks aren't likely to be playing the game in the first place.

--[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 21:51, 29 October 2005 (CDT)

ok so here are my suggestions for the main page. if this is the first page that potential new players visit, which it should be, then there should be several screen shots, and possible some art and a title of some sort other than Main Page. ---''raoul''

----

It's not actually supposed to be the first page potential players visit, we have a new website for that. This is for people already playing, and for new players who have found the game and played it and want to learn more.

--[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 03:34, 30 October 2005 (CST)

----

on the main page, How about putting pictures of light cycle with long trails and having quotes from players written on the trails?

(pinkbike)-(trail)better then Bottled water-nemo(/trail)

(purplebike)-(trail)try the crack pipe-luci(/trail)

etc etc

-- Your_mom

* Sure, upload the graphics (link in the toolbox on the lower left) and come back here and put the filenames and I'll take care of it. --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 18:36, 2 November 2005 (CST)

* what size should they be? i have it at 915x35 wxh of course should the tail be shorter/longer? and what colors--Your_mom
** Try not to make the width more than 200px unless you really need a few extra pixels. A hard limit of about 275. Then whatever height you need. Colors? I don't know, pick some. :) Also, can you make one with alpha instead of cycle color? And without text on the trail? I could use that at some point to use dynamic colors and text. :) --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 19:19, 2 November 2005 (CST)
*** http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php/Image:Bikewht.png i have different colored ones is this what we where looking for --Your_mom
*** I don't know, is that what you were thinking? That's about the width you generally want on a web page where you need to intersperse text with the graphics, but is it what you were thinking about how it should look? --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 19:59, 2 November 2005 (CST) (P.S. if you use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> for your signature, your wiki username and a timestamp will be put there instead)
***[[image:Biketest1000.png|left|]] can you right over top of that inside the wiki?, think that would be ok?, yeah it wasnt the look i was going for, but this is slightly better -- [[User:Your mom|Your mom]] 20:21, 2 November 2005 (CST)
**** The cycle's kinda small. Maybe a larger cycle? It's ok if the cycle size doesn't quite go with the wall size, that makes the picture more cartoony anyway. I know you can associate text with an image, but I don't know if you can specify whether to show the text on top or on bottom of the picture. --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 20:25, 2 November 2005 (CST)

if i knew how to change font size and color it might look better-- mom
* Looks like you've just about got it. Here's a little trick that might come in handy, though. Say you put two spans right next to each other with no distance between them. Make one have in the background the cycle and the first part of the wall, and put a   in the foreground. However many &nbsp's you need to make it fit. Then in the other put a tile-able background that is the rest of the wall. Then you should be able to put text in such a way as to stretch the second span so cover the whole phrase, within reasonable sizes of phrases. --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 22:02, 2 November 2005 (CST)

== the main page ==

1
could you add a section to do with the history
as in
who designed the game
something about the film
that kind of thing?

2
what on earth is
extending armagetron advanced
meant to mean?
as a newbe
must i click on it to understand it?
surely the title is meant to mean something
before i click on it?

3
the game is simple
and startup for me was supersmooth
given the amount of energy generated from playing
(
i mean
we love getting on the grid
)
the wiki mainpage
could be a little more embracing
i have been around here a few times
and it is a little tricky to work out where is what
.
you know
something like:
newbe introduction page
that kind of thing
simple

Message for Luke-Jr in reply to http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?t=9921 ...

There already exists an IRC-S2S-XMPP gateway solution, but it requires quite a
bit of work getting the ircd to go with it. Have a look at http://about.psyc.eu/Gateway

But, if you don't need to connect things with an IRC network, then you
can simply use the builtin XMPP and IRC servers. You can access channels
by IRC and MUC at the same time. That you get at http://www.psyced.org
