I'm sure it's already happened and I'm late posting it, but LifetankXI has reached it's End of Life. The domain has expired and I have no plans on renewing it at this time. Obviously the domain and website are required for the authentication code to reach the server to work. I'm pretty sure I've lost the source code of the latest version so either way I'm unable to compile an auth-less version for the loyal XI users out there, as there are still quite a few.

I apologize for any inconvenience this poses but I haven't played AC in some time now and with V-Tank going there's not much reason to keep Lifetank alive.

Thanks!

That's a real bummer man becuase I rely heavily on Lifetank.


Is there a version that does not require the server?


Since you do not have the code to fix the error, do you think you could let someone pay for the next year to keep the thing alive?

Domain is already parked by godaddy via domains by proxy.

LifetankX doesnt require auth.

For the webhost you could use a good free site.. Doesn't seem like a bad place you could check out: www.Free-Web-Host.me It allows you to create a site as long as you have a few visitors going to it they don't shut you down it seems.


goodluck in real life.

thanks for making plugins for all of AC.

players like me enjoy'd using this software..

backing up rare source code is a must..

If the source was public there would be no problems about killing off good plugins :-( sadly, live long and prosper.

Xeon took my source code an kept going with Lifetank X 11.9.x.x

Webhosting isn't the issue because I have my own webhosting business, I just don't want to pay for the domain.

I really had no reason to keep a backup of the code since I already passed it on.

AFAIK, Lifetank X still works fine.. I guess if it turns out to be that big of a deal someone else can buy it and point the NS servers to me, but with VTank and Lifetank X I really don't see a reason in keeping it online.

Actually.... what brought me to this forum was a google search for "liftank default dmg." I can not get life tank to cast the level or damage type of the spells I choose. I choose pierce level 4 with force dmg on, and it fires lightning level one. I remove the force dmg and choose war level 3, and it fires bludgeon level 2. I have no idea what is going on. I am not sure if it has anything to do with this guy modifyng your original code and overlooking some syntax conflicts, or if it has something to do with me installing lifetank before I installed decal (not that I see how that would change anything) or even something else like the MS .net framework. I am using Vista, which I think may factor into the problem. I am only a sophomore in college for Software Engineering. I wish I could contribute more! I did, however, find out about vtank from your post! Thanks for the heads up. Also, thank you so much for creating lifetank. I've been using it for years. I shall give vtank a shot right now. Have a nice day.
