Documentation site and TMUF server reinstall

I will never ever again tinker around without making backup… So while setting up BookStack for my future documentation I needed to upgrade to PHP 8, however there was a issue because XASECO (TMUF Server Controler) supported 7.2. After looking up I found repository with updated XASECO to support PHP 8, it worked but required even more work than on PHP 7.2 repository. I tried to revert but damage was already done, so right now I run PHP 7....

1/2 of my Ausbildung is past me

Time does fly really fast… I still remember the start of my Ausbildung and the first blogpost like it was 2 days ago, it’s suprising how fast it all went. Anyway, I haven’t written anything in the past 2 month because either I was busy or there was simply no interesting stuff (if you even count my blog as interesting). Last week I was completly busy due to todays semi finals which were super easy in the end....

Old games deserve to be archivized

Recenlty while looking for old Trainz (yes they are called Trainz) games and payware DLC for it, I was suprised how neglected less popular games are. Some of them are re-released by publishers on Steam or GOG with some fixes and possible changes due to licensing like CRC 2005, World Racing 2, etc., but most of them are simply not available anymore. To my suprise, Trainz Classic (1+2 and 3) with valid MyTrainz key is still available to buy on Amazon but as digital download only....

New year, new goals

I’m still alive and healthy. Whoever reads this, I hope you had good time with family. Now starting this year I got another community ban on steam.. This time for 9 weeks (until 9th March). In that time I’ll be working on an information board addon for Garry’s Mod where you can write “pages” and pin them for others to read it. Something you might spot in markets/discounters in germany. It will be simple and designed for Sandbox, so DarkRP plebs need to pay me to make it compatible....

Change in hosted servers

After little bit of thinking I decided to close the CS:SO server and halt work on the demolition map. The reason is that the mod is half-backed and “limitation” of running the server via WINE is not worth it. The demolition map is at this point litteraly worthless, since I can’t backport it to CS:Source. That’s pitty but it is what it is.. However I consider hosting other servers. Yes you read it right....
