TruckingSim Community - Stay Together Until LogisticsSimOnline is Ready
Posted by dattac
|
With TruckingSim shutting down in a few days and LogisticsSimOnline still being worked on, if you would like to stay together as part of our online community then head over to:
http://forum.dattac.com
We can all stay up to date on the latest developments for the new game. For the short term, this will be how the creator of LogisticsSimOnline will communicate with all of us.
So head on over and read the public posts or create an account to read information for registered users only (currently nothing in there, but there might be soon).
Thanks for the memories!

Shutting down Truckingsim
Posted by jefffan24
|
Hello all,
I've made the difficult decision to shut down Truckingsim on March 31st. It has been a great 11 years running this game, which would not of been possible without Bjornski and his company solutionsource for hosting the game, its forums and the database. In addition to Bjornski I want to thank Dale for his help coding the game, Norman for his help with the algorithms.
I thank everyone for their dedication, including those who have stuck around even though I haven't worked on the game for quite a while.
Thank you everyone,
Adam (aka Jefffan24)

Server downtime today
Posted by jefffan24

In the last 24 hours we had the server go down due to some issues, because of this I have added 24 hours to everyone's route times, added 24 hours to all active contracts and reset everyone's exhaustion level to 0.
There may be some lingering problems with extra/too-few contracts while everything gets back to working order but everything should be fully back to normal within the next 16 hours or so (2 contract rotations).
If you have any problems please message me in-game or on the forums.

Server maintenance this weekend
Posted by jefffan24
|
This weekend we will be performing some extensive maintenance on our servers and network equipment.
We've grouped together a ton of small maintenance tasks and updates into one and a half days of updating, patching, grinding and polishing. We will also be installing some brand spanking new equipment.
The work will be done on:
During these times, the site will experience several short outages. The total down-time, spread out over these two days will be roughly one hour.
I will be watching the server and will probably add time to all routes and contracts just incase we run into problems and the server goes down more than expected.
If you have any questions you can post them on the forum topic located at: http://forum.truckingsim.com/showthread.php?tid=3359

CB Recruiting
Posted by Norman

We have decided to run a trial on CB recruiting. Until further notice you may post recruiting messages on the New Users CB channel. Recruiting is not allowed on the general and company channels. Recruiting messages are those in which you invite others to join your company or generally advertise it to other drivers. Please note that spamming the new users channel with recruiting messages is no more acceptable than spamming with any other type of message.
The game rules have also been updated in line with this change.

04/23/12 - Additional contract restrictions and multiple accounts
Posted by Norman
|
We have added the following restrictions to company contracts:
Main, subsidiary and subcontracts:
- A company cannot bid if winning the contract will result in total potential contract penalties greater than the company's assets.
Subsidiary contracts
- A company must have 5 active drivers to bid (this was actually a bug which has now been fixed).
- There is a maximum contract size limit which is double the size limit for main contract bidding.
Subcontracts
- There are now size limits for subcontract creation.
For full details about the contract system please see the updated Company Contracts Game Guide.
Multiple accounts:
It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion about how many accounts each user can have. The rule is that you are allowed a maximum of 4 drivers per IP address, not 4 drivers each. This applies to every single location that you may access the game from. If you have other people at home/school/work also playing the game then it is 4 accounts between you, not 4 accounts each.
Up to this point we have not been very strict with this rule and so some people have more accounts than are allowed. However, in the near future multi-checking will be done automatically by the game. If you are in violation of this rule then this is your last chance to rectify the situation before accounts are removed from the game. If you have accounts that you need removing from the game use Settings -> Ask to be deleted.

03/31/12 - Jeff isn't thrilled
Posted by jefffan24
|
So it came to my attention what those 2 blank companies were being used for and lets just put it this way: I'm not thrilled one bit.
We had 2 companies without a name and the only way to join/get to them was to know what the company ID was. If you knew this you could leave your company join these ones with blank names, refuel/repair using that companies assistance (so it didn't cost your real company anything) and then go back to your normal company.
I consider this to be a loophole/exploit and something that should be reported to the mods. But also should not be continued to be used after it is reported.
So as of now these are the new rules and the game will enforce them automatically:
1. If you leave your company you can not join it again for 48 hours. No more leaving your company only to cost another company money and coming back immediately, those days are gone.
2. Both blank companies have been deleted and the 5 memebers that were in them currently have been set to not being in a company.
3. Anyone who has used this exploit (for the 2 blank companies) in the last 3 weeks will get a 12 hour suspension for each offense (refueling is one offense, repairing is another).
4. By the end of this weekend we will have official rules for both the forums and game. When they are done you will have to agree to them to continue playing and using the forums. We have grown enough that it is time for this.
If you get suspended and feel you have a valid excuse/reason please message one of the mods or myself on the forums.

1/26/12 - Small update
Posted by jefffan24
|
When I decided to allow 4 accounts per IP I knew some people wouldn't use them for family members and would instead use them for multi's. I've said before I'm not thrilled about it, but its not against TS rules. It wasn't the point of 4 accounts, but we knew it would happen.
During beta we have found that users have been abusing the reset driver option. Resetting their multiple drivers in order to complete contracts faster and not get penalties. Due to this we have implemented the following change:
All accounts starting immediately, can only be reset once every 7 days.
If we find we need to be more harsh (no resetting fatigue, or limiting time before you can join a company) we will do so.
I'm sorry for those of you who are not abusing the system but this was getting out of hand.
Thanks,
Jeff

11/21/11 - TruckingSim Attack
Posted by jefffan24
|
Recently TruckingSim was attacked through an exploit in the forums. it was different from the first attack we had which used an upload file to run a trojan on the server. This instead used a script that ran one time and targeted certain file names on the server to add bad code. This code added code on the infected pages which attempted to install a virus on anyone who went to these pages. Once the server recognized an issue it automatically took the site down for safety.
Once myself and Bjornski woke up and found the problem we have been working on fixing it. All files have had the virus removed and we are working on making sure this doesn't happen again. We have taken the forums offline until we know for 100% sure that we are safe.
I would recommend EVERYONE to run a virus scan through you virus software (Norton, McAfee, Microsoft Securiy Essentials, etc..). Run a full scan on your whole system, this may take a while but is worth it.
I also recommend that you install MalwareBytes, click here to get it, its free and just click the download now button to get it. Once you install this, run a full scan from it. It will find everything that is not a virus (Trojans, Backdoor, Spyware, Adware, etc...). Again this may take a while but is worth it.
We are truly sorry this happened and if you have any questions you can PM me in game or send an email: Jefffan24@truckingsim.com, I will happily answers your questions.
Again we are truly sorry this happened and are working to make sure it never happens again.
Finally, I was expecting to have beta happen 1 week from today. This doesn't look like its going to happen today, we want to make sure everyone is safe first. So beta will be delayed by a few days.
Thanks,
Jeff

Posted by Conroy

As all companies would have realised, the amount of cargo left on their contracts wasn't reducing even after a route was complete. After days of staring at code and checking logs, we have finally found the problem. We believe this bug was connected to the company collection percentage too.
You must start a new route in order for the contract to fix itself.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Enjoy getting your contracts completed :)

10/12/11 - File Security
Posted by jefffan24

We were hit by a trojan horse today that modified some of our files. It was more than likely that was uploaded to our server from a form (such as on the forums or in-game). We have disabled all file uploading across the site (forums and game) which means company ads will not have images for a little bit until we get this patched for 100% sure. We also had to load a backup of all our files as some were compromised. All data is safe, they didn't not get to anything that is sensitive in any way also all files are clean and secure again.
We are sorry that this happened and sorry it took a while to fix, we are working to make sure this never happens again. If you have any questions please PM me and I will answer them.

Announcement and Update
Posted by jefffan24

When you place an ad for your company and you include an image you agree to 5 rules:
Breaking rule #2 (Must have no offensive content (pornography, offensive words, etc...)), will result in a very long in-game suspension that will carry over to beta if it happens. I will not tolerate any profane, nude, or any other type of "bad" images in the game. We allow families to play this game and with that comes a responsibility on our parts and yours to keep it safe for everyone. Again, break that rule and I will have no tolerance and no mercy while suspending your account, your IP and any accounts or IP's related to that account. We WILL NOT put up with this.
Ok so now that we got that out of the way lets move on to the update :)

8/18/11 - Update Part 2
Posted by jefffan24

Ok so I think I have most of the bugs fixed:
1. The route bug should be fixed, I really think it was the game getting confused over expired/not-expired. That should all be fixed now.
2. Only people with the correct permissions should be able to bid on contracts, same goes for creating sub-contracts (the button will only show up on people with the contract permission).
3. On finished contract tab the game not differs between failing and completing a contract. (If you fail the text will look like: Contract Failed!, if you complete it the text will look like: Contract Finished!
4. When creating a sub contract loads no longer get removed at creation, they are only removed as they are delivered. This should help with people who kept getting negative charges because their contract was finished. This is how the contract system was intended to work.

8/18/11 - Update Part 1
Posted by jefffan24
|
As you all probably know by now contracts have been causing a problem these last few days and I haven't gotten it fixed yet. Part of this was to being sick, another part was to responding to many PM's (sorry for any of you I snapped at), another part is that I can't find the dang reason to the problem.
I've decided that part of the problem is that some of the contracts in the game are part of bugs (people getting sub-contracts that have expired, contracts not being removed when they are supposed to, etc...). So I've come up with a solution (this is where Part 1 comes in). I have decided to wipe all active/finished contracts from the game completely and start fresh, but we won't start fresh until I get some of these bugs fixed. I'm going to spend as long as it takes today to mark all of these bugs as fixed and start brand new later today.
To compensate all companies and drivers, all drivers (whether your in a company or not) will receive $10,000. All companies will receive 3000 * total members, but I've put a minimum of 30,000 on it. So if you get more than $30,000 great! But you won't get any less than that.
I hope everyone can live with that. I will be posting messages across the game letting people know what happened to contracts and what is going on, and I hope to have them back up later today.
Thanks,
Jeff

2. Click HERE and start a new bug report with your problem. We will get to you as soon as possible!
3. DON'T MOVE YOUR TRUCK!
We need to see the exact circumstances something happened it is extremely vital that YOU DON'T MOVE YOUR TRUCK IF YOU RUN INTO A PROBLEM.
Ok I think I got that across, if you are having no problems just continue as normal and you should be good to go!

I'm sorry it came to this but after the last debacle and people not reading the updates I find this necessary.
We will only do this when we feel necessary :)

Thanks,
Jeff

I have posted an announcement here:
http://truckingsim.com/forums/announcements.php?aid=2
Read it, understand it, as it begins now. We have had some issue with respect to our mods. They do this for free and deserve more respect than you give me, so from now on we are enforcing this to make sure they get respected the way they deserve.

Bug Fix
Posted by jefffan24

Routes have changed again
Posted by jefffan24
|
As some of you may have saw the routes page had routes of $50 ppm (yes $50 per mile)...obviously that is a bug. I had made a change to the late fees so that we wouldn't have $0 late fees and that ended up affecting PPM. This has now been fixed and cargo has been changed again.
Sorry for running it twice again but it comes with the alpha territory. Bugs are bound to happen.
Again Sorry,
Jeff
P.S. ANY routes that were going to make over $10k will be knocked down to $10k. So if you had a $50k route it will be reduced to $10k.

Small Change to the Report System
Posted by jefffan24
|
We have just made a small change to the report system. If you start a report you will now get a PM in-game that lets you know you have a comment. Also we did a design change on the open page bugs, so that you can see how many comments a bug has and we made better use of the space we have by combining the username and title columns.
Remember to start using this for any bug reports :)
Thanks,
Jeff

I made a boo-boo
Posted by jefffan24
|
While working on the hot routes and temporary cargo's, I accidentally ran the script and it updated both the ppm/bonus of cargo's and the temp cargo/demand on each city. So for this mistake I've set each companies last cargo change to 0, so that your company can change preferred cargo's.
This does not effect anyone who is currently in a route you will still get paid the same.
Sorry this happened,
Jeff

L.A. Cargo Change
Posted by jefffan24
|
The temporary cargo for L.A. has been changed due to an issue with XP required cargos. Both the permanent supply and temporary supply of cargos in L.A. were set for cargos that required a high XP. This has been changed manually and cargo script has been changed to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Sorry,
Jeff

A small setback
Posted by jefffan24
|
So you may have noticed that your driver wasn't where you left him/her. This is because I made a small mistake and essentially reset everyone. To fix this I had to bring in a backup of the database, this backup was from 12 hours prior to this message. I am sorry for any problems this has caused, but basically anything you have done in the last 12 hours is gone. Including setting your timezone (a new feature that is in the settings). Another new feature is the option to reset your driver, everything will be reset like you are just starting but you will not lose any settings you have chosen. This option is also in the settings.
Once again sorry all and thank you for your patience,
Jeff

Game Updates/Announcements
Posted by jefffan24
|
This is where all game updates and announcements will be posted. They will be rather generic and may link to a post on the forum such as This. I hope you all enjoy the new announcement system!
So you probably got to this page because you saw the new announcement link. Now you want to know how to get back here? Well all you have to do is go to the footer (at the bottom of every page) and there is a link on there that says: Game Updates. Click this link and it will bring you right back here.
Thank you all,
Jeff
