Ok, thanks for your answer :)

You mean to say "Akimbo is dead, long live Akimbo!!"? Yeah thought so. :)

I wish with all my hearth that the creator of the bots that flooded the good old akimbo dies SLOWLY in pain!

Luc@s · 24 Mar 13, 10:25PM

Some bots tried to spam the new akimbo but they failed to register.

Luc@s · 31 Mar 13, 10:33AM

The new akimbo is about 1 month old and it already provides 240 archives including 484 maps, textures, mapmodels, etc.
At the moment, 322 of them are available through in game auto download.

We have added a new section Maps v1.2 Requisite Fails.

We put there maps from our archives that will not meet up v1.2 requirements.
It will be up to the creators of these maps to rework them accordingly.
Note that anyone can with author's consent.

Quick overview of what you need?
What resources do the package mirror slaves use? I could offer an Aus one.

Luc@s · 25 May 13, 03:11PM

I had linked a thread about it..
Here is (again) the link : http://ac-akimbo.net/showthread.php?tid=545
You know you can ask me directly as "technical stuff" is my job ;)

Sorry, can't help :P

Luc@s · (This post was last modified: 27 May 13, 07:23PM by Luc@s.)

I think you misunderstood the point.
When a server participates, we provide you a domain name like :
au.packages.ac-akimbo.net
(where au is the country code for australia)
Everything under this domain must be taken from akimbo. Nothing more.
Of course we won't ask you to host nothing but that on your server.
Just under the domain name we provide.

By the way, we're moving our main servers and need donations.

Oh we'll in that case I will pm you later on or jump on TS3.

Didn't know we were enslaving the Aussies. This is news to me.

Luc@s · 02 Jun 13, 08:50AM

We moved to a new server.
I hope you can still access the web site like before.
If you're experiencing any issue, please tell us !

Luc@s · 11 Nov 13, 06:10PM

Akimbo will now generate map previews automatically (minimap like).

You can see these previews in the packages listing threads, and in your own map threads, clicking the "previews" tab.

Example

Thumb :

Soon, we will have pickups and spawnpoints displayed on the "big minimap" (thanks cleaner for the icons)

Comparison AC minimap / akimbo minimap :

Of course, we also have textures previews ;)

**Cleaner** · 11 Nov 13, 06:54PM

Not totally happy with these icons tbh, I'll upgrade that whenever I have a little more time ;)

CaptainAhab · 11 Nov 13, 08:39PM

I think those simplified mini-maps look phenomenal.

DrauL · 11 Nov 13, 11:17PM

Those minimap previews are beastly. Keep up the good work.

**Cleaner** · 14 Nov 13, 10:15AM

As I said I wasn't totally happy with the icons, so I redone them but with the actual AC style taken from the documentation web page.

So it should look now like that (items placed randomly)

**Ronald_Reagan** · 14 Nov 13, 05:13PM

Hm, is it possible to make them pop out a little more? Maybe adding some glow behind them or something. I'm finding it kind of hard identifying the icons right now.

**Cleaner** · 14 Nov 13, 05:26PM

There is indeed a lack of contrast that makes them a little hard to spot but I'm trying a few things out, circling them, or as you mentioned some glow in the background or like fading out the minimap a little...

CaptainAhab · 14 Nov 13, 05:40PM

A glow behind them would definitely help icon visibility.
