It's unlikely to generate any. We've been running for a good few weeks now (almost at 2% woohoo!) and we haven't had anything that's been remotely likely.

I hope it'll generate one.

Handy Table

[maniacfive]

I'd love to help out on this, as my computer is left on all the time, but could someone with a mac help me out? I don't understand how to get this doing. I donload the monoframework package from the Mono site, and that installs in my library, but this dowesn't present an application or anything, so how do i tell the 13th labour to run under mono?

Cheers

Al

Mac instructions:
1. Download Mono
2. Install Mono
3. Download 13th Labour Client
4. Double click on Macintosh HD
5. Click on Applications
6. Click on Utilities
7. Drag Terminal into the Dock
8. Click on Terminal
9. Type CD then a space
10. Drag the 13th Labour client folder into the window
11. Press enter
12. Type "mono labour13.exe"
13. Enter the details it asks for
14. Leave it to run

Thanks for that! Got it going, part of my problem may have been that some point along the line I had deleted the 'terminal' application

FAQ

[maniacfive]

Sorry I did try to look for how to get it running before posting, but thought this would be the quickest way to get an answer, and help out anyone else who didn't know in the future.

If it had already been asked and answered I apologise, I went back several pages but couldn't see it.

Might I suggest adding Olivers text from the above to the download page for us Mac people? His description was very succinct and worked perfectly.

so ive been running the program for a few days now too, and i was wondering what the Unit # will be when it's done (either found the answer, or totaly completed.) anyone.....anyone.....Bueller?

[oliverkeers13]

We don't know. If we knew which unit number it would be, we'd skip straight to it!

[groovygirl20]

well there are 6 million units to go through so hopefully we'll find it before then lol

[oliverkeers13]

No, there are 14.7 million units.

[groovygirl20]

yeah i no i was gonna edit it i was thinking of something else! and didn't get a chance to edit

wat about there were loads of clients but someone quit during a unit and that unit was THE unit and they didn't go on for ages... would another client be able to do it?

[locqust]

good question actually, does the client server already say "thats been handed out" and wont give it again or if it hasnt been worked on after, say, 5 hours someone else is given it? Cos I have been quitting the client sometimes while its only halfway thru a block and Id hate for it to be lost or assumed worked when it hasnt been fully done.

All units have an EXPIRY_DATE set at the same time they are assigned.

If a unit is not completed by that expiry date, I can make it available again to be redone. Some units have already been re-assigned in this way.

You may notice there are some times in the stats when the Number Completed actually dips - or doesnt go up as much as it has been - that is when the expiry routine has been run.

I *can* automate this - but I'm not for now - no real need. We still have a LONG way to go
