Ok, since IPV6 has been rolled out on major websites and other places, AC needs to support IPv6 also, along with regular ipv4.
Just a suggestion, Tell me what you think

What's the advantage? I don't know much about IPv6 other than the fact that it can accomodate more addresses.

Can somebody explain this for the less computer-literate masses?
IPv6 is a new style of IP addresses, offers a lot more combinations than the standard 4 octet combination we know now (e.g. 192.0.0.1)

Yes look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

Lol, actually I didn't don't read his post posts. :D

Jg, you didn't answer my question really. What would be the advantage of AC supporting IPv6? The current system seems to work fine, although I'm no expert. Care to explain sir?
30 Aug 12, 12:19AM
Oh. Well in that case...
. K I looked through a couple of the links. I wouldn't say that AC "needs" this feature, since that would only delay that hasty arrival of 1.1.1 (btw did anybody else notice Brahma pop on the AC irc? Can only mean under 24 hours until the new version's long-awaited arrival :D), but it's not bad.
30 Aug 12, 12:21AM
Eventually, AC will require IPv6, or it will die. Thats why AC needs IPv6, cause IPv4 is gonna eventually not exist
As far as I understand it, Jg99 is correct about AC needing to implement them eventually.
Edit: Meaning the poll is just silly.
30 Aug 12, 12:28AM
AC, why u no support ipv6?
30 Aug 12, 01:43AM
I decided to bring this up, because I think it's time to do this before IPv4 is dead
30 Aug 12, 02:09AM
I think it'll be a while until IPv4 is phased out. AssaultCube may be dead before IPv4 is.
30 Aug 12, 02:15AM
AC never dies, it is in our hearts!

Yes , if you miss them, they are there along with your intelligence, which is sadly missed.
RIP FlamiĀ“s intelligence AND good servers.

can someone sticky this?
30 Aug 12, 02:55AM
Why on earth would this thread need to be stickied when the devs already know this is something that inevitably must happen?
30 Aug 12, 03:08AM
idk, i think it should be stickied so the devs get to it quickly
30 Aug 12, 03:13AM
ipv4 will still survive some more time, and when eventually it starts to stop existing and becoming obsolete everyone will know and the change will be done anyway.
30 Aug 12, 03:52AM
FYI, this isn't the first time IPv6 has been on the forums. See these threads:
http://forum.cubers.net/thread-3154-post...l#pid54551 http://forum.cubers.net/thread-3835.html
30 Aug 12, 03:54AM
thats a long time ago though :3
30 Aug 12, 04:56AM
I would say that IPv6 should be implemented sooner, rather than later. I would say that there should be IPv4 fallback in case someone is using an older operating system that does not support it. I would say that it should be implemented after 1.1.1, as that would delay the release further.
30 Aug 12, 05:54AM
I'd like to think the devs are well aware of this and will deal with it as needed. Or jg99, you could do some real coding and contribute. Either way, it will get sorted. Or it won't. Seems like the next y2k the way you're describing it.

Is YOUR system epoch rollover-ready???

As for v6 support in AC, that would be relatively easy. Most of the work would need to be done within Enet, but I'm sure eihrul is well aware of this and will do it as it's needed, so no need to annoy him. |
