From Wikipedia:
 Quote:
On May 29, 2008, Valve announced their plans to provide Steam users with the ability to store game settings and saves on a central server. This allows users to more easily install Steam on a new computer or play Steam games on multiple computers. In this automatic process, any changes to game files are uploaded to the main server, and newer files are automatically downloaded and used when a game is started.[19] The first game to use this technology was Left 4 Dead; the service now supports most newer Valve games, and is already used by other developers selling their games on Steam.
We can already import and export several levels of 'settings' in EVE, but something that in my opinion would enhance the game experience is an option to store them CCP side. This would make it a lot easier for people (like me) that run several accounts on several different locations quite regularly, but it would of course benefit anyone who occasionally logs into EVE on a different computer.
Things it should include:
+ Graphics & Performance settings
+ Overview & Broadcast settings
+ Chat Channels
+ Location of UI elements (chat windows, overview) at a given screen resolution
+ Ability to store several profiles
+ Ability to export/import to XML files
All this convenience can be had at the mere cost of a few kilobytes of data per character, which with the current EVE population would all fit on a single 1TB disk, with enough room to spare in case the entire population of earth suddenly decides to subscribe to EVE.
As you can see I have also come up with a terribly unoriginal name but the voices told me that clouds do not usually form in space.

Frankly, I'd be happy if it'd just save some of them between different characters on the same install. I'm still annoyed every time I see a stupid welcome screen on a 3+ year old Eve install.

I just want my addressbook folders back...
Any chance the CSM could raise the issues that have already been highlighted before pipedreaming some other stuff?
You know... in accordance with your role? Like we were expected to vote for?
Anything stored server side has to be transmitted to client side. Pro Tip: That costs.

I appreciate your interest in the CSM process but nothing is keeping you from writing your own proposal to fix what you think needs fixing. Meanwhile, I would like to ask you to stay on-topic, and take the discussion as to what we are supposed to do in your opinion elsewhere. As a pro space councillor you can be sure that I have considered the ups and downs of the proposal and infact already have included this in the first post. Had you taken the time to actually read through the topic at-hand, you would be aware of this.

I read your topic. I read lots of topics. Since there's already a topic for the addressbooks issue, yet you think I should create one, it's clear you're not refering to that. And since it's in 8 pages of mostly supports and still nothing from the CSM, how many times would you suggest we raise it while CSM members just sit around raising.... well... things like this one... increasing network traffic, database access, yes I can see the benefits.... kind of... as in... not really... but

The voices in my head told me to vote yes. I would, however, like this to be optional.
No, it's not paranoia, it's more of a troubleshooting idea. I could upload my local settings, then turn off the upload feature, and muck about with my settings to my heart's content knowing that I can always simply reimport the settings from the server if I screw them up so badly the game becomes unplayable while remaining functional.
Edit: You could even add a button the login screen, import server side settings.

Someone already mentioned saving graphics settings may not work well, as aged computers could belly-up if they load something out of their league.
The UI elements and placement also wouldn't work very well, although this is more from a personal view. I run several accounts at once when I play EVE, and I'm always logging out of one on one screen and logging into it at a different resolution. Loading placement of elements from CCP's server rather than the saved settings on the particular computer would be a total mess, every time.
Originally by: Sokratesz

Completely supported, most especially the last point about exporting/importing (more than just the overview). This would make EVE reinstalls way less of a hassle. Also saving and storing several profiles would help people (like myself) with multiple accounts switch between 'fleet mode' and 'trade'. Or 'mining', or whatever other fancy you've got.
Overall highly supported, big thumbs up.

How about making it like redeeming several items where hitting the "import" button results in a popup screen where you can tick which settings tyou want loaded?
example, installing on my grandmas crappy laptop:
[ ] Graphics

Concept supported, would be highly useful and most welcome enhancement.
The implementation suggestions are interesting, but it would obviously be up to devs to respond with what is and isn't doable and how potential tech issues related to varying computer capabilities might be addressed.

Everything except graphics (resolution/shader/texture detail) should be stored server side. Configuration affecting a specific piece of hardware will only beak things. My iMac can handle EVE with all settings low, EVE doesn't even start if all settings are high.
Bookmark folders, chat windows, overview settings, bracket settings, overview tabs, filters, priority of bracket label colours, voice font per character, all should be server side. the server already remembers which character I last logged in with on that account.

I'm not going to support the ideal. I do think its a nice ideal. But It's better on steam then EVE do to the number of differnt games and game setings there.
I am shooting it down becouse we need the resourses for other things like I dont know Lag mybe. There already has to be a huge database of iteams too.
I just feel there are better things to spend EVE resourses on then this. Lets keep it PC side for now. It is a good ideal I'm just thinking not right now or even in the next 2-3 years.
Is it a rock? Point a Lazer at it and profit. Is it a ship? Point a Lazer at it and profit. I dont realy see any differnces here. |
