works for me. Should at least. See you tomorrow :)
-
My girlfriend was most amused that you managed to literally beat me at my own game last time around.
-
Why do you think I rarely play BtRL online? I wrote most of the missions I'd get my arse kicked on. :D
I'll see if I can make it for the game though.
-
I'm adding this to my calendar.
And who's the host? Any player limits? Where's the server located?
Thanks!
-
Argh, and i can't play...anyway, good to see TBP finally goes MP.
And for the GMT times, you can also check following link:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
-
Cool!!! ;7
-
I'll try to make it but I might be a little late. Right about 8 GMT is when I am just starting to get going for the day.
-
Same, probably be there, probably be a bit late (I just realized my TBP version is old, gotta update to the newest one before I can log on).
-
I'll see what I can do. I don't think anything will be going on at that time.
-
Please may I ask that anyone who does one thing:
Reads the multiplayer instructions linked above.
As part of that you will need a clean copy of 3.4b. So if you need to download the installer again start it downloading in advance because it's a big tile. Past that I will be providing a patch to make multiplayer work nicely. Given that PXO doesn't seem to have a chat lobby it might be an idea to load up and instant messaging program in case you have problems. I can be contacted on ICQ 29118701.
-
Given that PXO doesn't seem to have a chat lobby it might be an idea to load up and instant messaging program in case you have problems.
There is a lobby, it's just a very recent addition so only 3.6.10 builds support it. Builds from this year have it enabled by default, but for anything from before christmas it's a command line option as it was really buggy back then.
-
TBP 3.4b is intended for use with 3.6.9. I was be absolutely gobsmacked if it worked with 3.6.10. I suggest everyone use 3.6.9 this evening and do their out of game chat via IM.
-
True, two betas working well with each other prior to any testing for it is a bit much to hope for, I guess :p Still, I'll give it a try, 3.6.10 is might surprise you ;)
-
Well, I gave 3.6.10 a try, and from what I can tell it works with no problems whatsoever. All I had to do was stick the build in the TBP directory, run it, and I was able to play through the one coop multiplayer mission with no incidents. The only thing is that it connects to the 3.6.10 beta server daemon as it no longer uses fs2open_pxo.cfg, so it gets annoyed at the tables.
Here are the things I tested:
Intro works (that's really cool by the way, nice work. Makes me want to watch season 3 again).
Sound works.
Tech room works.
Multi works.
Barracks work.
Interface: There seems to be a transparency issue with the game-type icons in the server list screen for MP, otherwise everything looks beautiful.
All in all, I'm pleasently surprised. Didn't try SP, so that may still have issues, but nonetheless I think you may have to start mentally preparing yourself for getting smacked with a gob.
-
If it works in single player as well I'll eat my hat.
-
[Edit] Never mind. Didn't notice 3.4 includes SP missions. Me dumb.
-
That's fine. I'm not sure I have time for all these bizarre activities I seem to be signing up for anyway.
-
Just tried the first mission of the Earth-Minbari War demo, and everything went without a hitch. Well except for me forgetting to set up the controls for my SP pilot before committing, making me think everything was bugged to hell when none of the keys or buttons worked :P
-
As with last week, a patch will be made available shortly before the multiplayer session tonight. Keep an eye on this and the multiplayer setup thread.
-
Ok check the multiplayer setup thread linked at the top of this one for tonight's multiplayer patch.
-
For anyone that is hosting. Please delete all FUBAR_M*.fs2 or Vidmaster_M*.fs2 missions from your data\mission folder. Old versions in that directory will override the new ones in the VP file.
It's not a bad idea for the clients to delete them either.
-
Those gauntlets we played at the end this time were awesome. My arms actually hurt now from gripping the joystick too tight in all the excitement - I thought I'd learned not to do that years ago.
-
I'm adding this to my calendar.
And who's the host? Any player limits? Where's the server located?
Thanks!
-
Aw crap, I completely forgot about this. Btw, can we have more than one session a week, say one during the weekend? I only ask, because I'm going to be starting a new job on March 17 and it'll be Mon-Fri. and will most likely include 8:00 GMT (which is 3:00PM for all us East Coast US folk).
-
You can play whenever you want. Just find some people that want to get a game going. I'm in your time zone so I might be available.
-
Soo, is this happening tonight, or is it cancelled due to easter? I missed it last week due to falling unconcious in my bed after a hard workday, and I'm itching to play ;)
-
I was just online and no servers are up, but I'm game if anyone else is. I don't have the most recent versions of the missions though.
-
Well, I guess if it isn't happening, we can make it happen. I'll throw up a server in a few minutes and see what happens :) Looks like the most recent MP patch is from the 13th, which is newer than the last one I've installed, so I'll grab that first.
-
Okay, lurking online.
-
Game's up and running.
-
Can't play today. Sinus infection and can hardly look at FRED without getting dizzy not alone fly.
-
Just makes it feel more real :p In zero-G the blood goes to your head and makes everything swell up, plus all your insides are floating free instead of weighted down by gravity. Looks like you've got both of those covered ;)
-
Multi.log for Kara. We ran into NAT problems again when some other people started a game and we wanted to join... but did manage to get "ace" in vidmaster's major challenge just the two of us :)
[Edit] Oh, and while I remember, there's a typo left in the 2nd briefing stage of Vid's major challenge. Chosen is spelled 'chooen'. Not that anyone generally reads briefings in MP...

I was out last night guys because I had no net connection. Somebody stole the telephone cable from our street. The telephone company replaced it of course. And then somebody stole the replacement cable.
-
What the hell? What kind of sick, twisted person steals telephone cables?
-
To sell the copper.
-
Oh, I was out too. Was at least FUBAR there :rolleyes: ?
-
Anybody joining tonight?
-
I probably won't make this weeks session. I've been scheduled for yard work and drinking every nice day until it's time to put the Xmas decorations back up. Time to pull the laptop out so I can check HLP from the great outdoors. Yea right, play MP3's is more like it.
Here's my latest if anyone wants to test it. FUBAR_MT24.fs2 (http://fubar4.fubar.org/tbp/multi/fubar_mt24.fs2). It's a simple EA TvT gauntlet mission. When it tests out OK more advanced versions will follow.
-
wont be there too. EXAMS FINISHED -> PARTY!!!
-
Enjoy yourselves guys. I will probably check in this evening at the usual time for a couple of games, if anyone else is there.
-
I'll be joining in tonight. Haven't played FS2 in over a week now and I need to make up for that ;)
-
I'm online and hosting. Don't know how long I can stay though.
-
Good game last night guys. Shade, Custard and I beat the Minbari Gauntlet. :nod:
-
That was a good run, enjoyed it immensely :)
-
nicely done, although it's the easiest of the Gauntlets :)
-

F*** you killjoy. :p
-
I dont believe it, I got no time today again :mad: Hopefully I am going to make it next week.
Enjoy blasting, guys.
-
Well I certainly intend to. It'll be my last chance to play for a good two weeks and I intend to make the most of it :)
-
I'm going to try to make it home in time to play. :)
-
Good game tonight. Didn't play very long, but we made it to the Primus in Vid's major gauntlet, which was a first for me :) What is with the range on that thing by the way? 4k+ engagement range against fighters? That's just evil... you think you're dogfighting at a very safe distance, and then suddenly the sky is filled with fire :p
-
until the Prim in the MAJOR gauntlet? that's damn good! what was the difficulty setting :rolleyes: ?
-
Shooting people in the face with bulldog torpedoes is fun.
-
now you know how I always get so many kills in a Narn Frasi :lol: :lol: :lol:
Awesome game yesterday, we beat the Vidmaster's Major Challenge with the best rating possible:
DEMI-GODS :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
Cool. How many of you were playing?
-
5 people.
-
now you know how I always get so many kills in a Narn Frasi :lol: :lol: :lol:
Awesome game yesterday, we beat the Vidmaster's Major Challenge with the best rating possible:
DEMI-GODS :cool: :cool: :cool:
I think there is one rating better but I doubt anyone will ever see it. Especially if they are playing with IP on their side. :p
-
right, I forgot that you added DEITIES!!! But you got to destroy 5 additional waves of Drakh Fighters in the end to achive it, that's extremly difficult.
-
I think there is one rating better but I doubt anyone will ever see it. Especially if they are playing with IP on their side. :p
I think my Venom aim improved a great deal over the evening. Though I'm still not going to disagree with your comment.
-
I also saw IP finishing off a Shadow he was chasing by a perfectly aimed Venom1 right in the spiky ass :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
No pseudo random friendly fire shannanigans from me tomorrow as I am away in Belgium.
-
whatever you are doing in the neigbour country (not buying drugs I hope :lol:), enjoy yourself.
-
sorry couldnt make it last night , not getting much freetime at the moment, but i should be free next thursday so i can practice my respawning ........
-
If someone wishes to put TBP 3.4b forward for PXO validation please feel free to do so.
-
I could get the table CRCs to Taylor now but it's probably smarter to wait for the DVD release if Fubar is going to be polishing off any more missions between now and then and get them both done at the same time.
-
Don't know if I'll be polishing off any more before the DVD release but I would like to get the new ones tested as well as the fixed ones. I kind of finished most of the easy ones last night.
-
Points. Good.
-
I polished a few too. Asside from the ones I fredded today, I won't do new ones for the DVD.
Anybody got time for testing today GMT8? Because I wont be there on Thursday.
-
I'll be there.
-
Since Vidmaster apparently isn't around for his testing, I'm hosting a game now just for the fun of it until he shows up, in case anyone feels like blowing stuff up :)
-
:sigh:reallyreallysorry :sigh:
I just didn't make it, sb else here was blocking the computer :ick:
-
I just didn't make it, sb else here was blocking the computer :ick:
Yeah we noticed. :hopping: :mad: ;7
-
Now that 3.4b is final I have the fixed missions ready for testing as well as several new ones from Vid and myself. B5-M-MultiPack-1.zip (http://fubar.org/TBP/B5-M-MultiPack-1.vp) Just place in your TBP directory and make sure you don't have any rogue missions in your data\missions directory.
-
What's with the huge wav in that archive? :wtf: I'll be somewhat delayed this evening. Might hop on about 9:10gmt if the game is still going. Which it might not be by then. We shall see. We shall see.
-
Little surprise from Vid.
-
Game's up and running.
-
Missed it. Bummer. :(
-
despite my claims, I managed to be online for about 15 minutes yesterday. Still, it was not enough to find out if any of the new missions were buggy. Since I am not able to really test multiplayer missions on my own, I always rely on what FUBAR says and on actual online play.
So... ...any bugs? Especially in the new Encounter missions?
-
We didn't really know what needed testing, so we just played a few missions for fun yesterday. Perhaps you could list the new missions so we know which to scrutinize? I might host a game tonight, and wouldn't mind doing some testing there, but unlike Fubar I don't know which are in need of it :)
-
well, obivously the new ones are the one in the vp above :)
Anybody got some time right now? For some reason, I want a play a few rounds now.
-
I do actually. I got back from work half an hour ago and right now I'm just procrastinating. Give me 5 minutes to get something to drink and I'll fire up TBP.
-
okay, I am already hosting a game. Everybody who got some time plz join but be sure you download the multiplayer mission vp on the previous page or things might get buggy.
-
the only thing we really need to take care of are these invisible game problems :ick:
currently, many players have problems joining a game that was created when they were not in the lobby. The solution is often to try rehosting.
-
Unfortunately I don't think there is much we can do about that right now. If it's not in the info at the top of the thread maybe IP can add it.
-

The solution is to properly sort your routers out. I've yet to see a single case of this problem where the fault wasn't completely due to NAT and improper forwarding and nothing whatsoever to do with the net code.
-
Anyone using the new VP should redownload it. People were reporting problems with corruption and the new one contains some fixes. I changed it to a zip so you will need to extract it to your TBP folder.
B5-M-MultiPack-1.zip (http://www.fubar.org/TBP/B5-M-MultiPack-1.zip)
-
I put it into the MultiTutorial as well
-
Speaking of invisible game problems, if you read this Vidmaster, your game is invisible.
[Edit] It's worse this time, reforming while I'm in the lobby does't help.
-
I will be bringing Pressies this Thursday.
-
looking forward ;7
-
I don't believe it, nobody is showing up :shaking:
-
Can't right now, but expect me next week as I'm now addicted to TBP.
-
It's not 8pm GMT until 5 minutes from now, so stop complaining :p If anyone else shows up, I can play for about an hour :)
-
RReady to play, I just had to see the football (soccer) matches first. Anyone still out there?
-
I don't believe it, nobody is showing up :shaking:
Kara and I were at the pub. But I expect we'll be online next Thursday.
-
It's not 8pm GMT until 5 minutes from now, so stop complaining :p If anyone else shows up, I can play for about an hour :)
shade, you are an hour to late. You posted this at GMT9 :lol:
-
No, I posted that at 9 BST, not GMT ;) It *is* confusing though, with the summer time changes and all.
-
does this mean I was an hour too early?
-
Yup. 'Parently
-
Will miss out tonight I think. Portugal/Germany is too good a match to miss ;)
-
we are going to win :)
-
And congrats :) Now to see if any games are still running...
-
Got multiplayer all set up I think, so will be looking forward to the next time people are joining up for some online playtime.
-
Well now that Euro is over I should be able to make it again.
-
I will probably be online later in the evening. Though by the time I get home it might actually be nearer 10pm GMT.
-
My ex came over about 30 min ago so I'm ready to blow stuff up :hopping:
-
I'll be there. Finishing up breakfast right now.
-
I`m going to come there next thursday if no one minds.
Kinda got bored as my hard drive with all of my B5 seasons got destroyed :ick:.
-
no one ever minds.
Maybe I manage to join this time again too
-
Good session tonight. We played Ride of the Valkyries twice. You really need to work as a team to beat that one. But it's too hard for only 5 or 6 players at the moment. The mission needs to scale a bit more with number of players since the AI is useless.
-
YES. This one was really good! :) ;)
-
We did alot better this week. A few more weeks and we might get the big V
-
My computer couldn`t handle the beginnig, I`m sorry if I ruined that particcualer game for you.
I hope that one day I will find a way to repair that bloody error and sometime get blast you out of the sky :lol:.
-
I'll get back to working on it next time we have some bad weather. I actually want to add some more bases then scale how many show up and which weapons are active based on the number of players and difficulty level. There will also be a 4th AI wing for target practice. They aren't entirely useless just don't use attack orders uses orders like form on my wing. They will take some of the fire and fire back if they start taking damage. Also a non-player AI wing may actually do what it's ordered to do. Player AI ships do strange things at times.
-
I am going to open a game GMT3 this afternoon.
-
nice new missions tonight. Going to get some sleep now :lol:
-
I'm all for this. . . . .gotta make an effort to get broadband. I need to get some S*H*I*T in too. (Special High Intensity Training) ©Legion of Apocalypse 1998 :jaw: a decade already. . .
-
Great to have a lot of new coop missions to play. Was fun. Get the bugs worked out and even more fun. Sorry I couldn't stay.
One thing you might want to keep in mind as far as the red-alert stuff goes in multi is that most people will end up playing the mission individually not as part of the campaign. Well 2 things it's never been tested.
-
Get the bugs worked out and even more fun.
My dynamic difficulty system makes detecting mission completion an absolute nightmare. You've got a number of fighter wings which may or may not get launched before their carrier ship which may or may not actually be present is destroyed or departed or loses it's fighterbay system. :shaking:
That said I think I tracked down the bugs from last night.
-
my missions don't ajust or change difficulty, therefore they work :lol:
-
my missions don't ajust or change difficulty, therefore they work :lol:
Yeah I know. It's really a fair point. I'm thinking of pulling the idea. But if I can get the bloody thing to work it would be quite cool to not absolutely have a full team of 8 to play the campaign. For example mission 2 was balanced quite nicely for 5 players last night, and there were 3 enemy bomber wings dropped from the mission by the system ;7
-
it would be cool, yes :nod:
;)

If I get a few minutes I'll take a quick look at what you're trying to do. Might be an easier way that your just overlooking.
-
If IP agrees, he should send you his (recent) versions.
-
anyone joining?
-
Dang I forgot today was even Thursday. Got to run to the bar my beer order should be in and my fridge stock is very low...............
-
Anyone playing today? Finally got some rain. I should be there in about half an hour. Weekly backup is on my playing machine right now. Actually I just looked and it's backing up TBP right now.
-
I'll be there.
-
having to leave now, so another Thurday without me. Do me a favour and try out the operations this time will ya? I need some feedback! :nod: BUT BE SURE YOU GOT THE NEW VERSION, NOT THE BETA. That's the one bundled with Hunters and the recent MultiUpdate
-
Dang missed you by like 5 minutes.
-
Anyone able to make it this week?
-
Not sure. I'll be there if I'm still awake, but I've had a hellish week at work so far so it's just as likely I'll be too tired and end up going to sleep soon.
-
anyone this week?
-
Getting some breakfast now. Have to make some adjustments to a mission then I'll be there.
-
I'm having computer problems at the moment so I probably won't make it.
-
GMT8 is just to late for me during SummerTime, I got to work you know. Will be joining more often again when we are back to normal.
-
any one playing tonight and at what time , 8pm gmt or 8pm bst or something more radical...........
-
Well I was sitting around reading the forums waiting to start but just got a call from my contractor who is going to be here in 15 minutes to work on my electric. Looks like a no go for me today. :(
-
:eek2: but but but :nervous: i cant do it on my own its a sin :nervous:
-
I have time for once and nobody's playing :(
EDIT: Getting some sleep now.
-
Sorry had a contractor running some new outdoor electric for X-Mas. Hopefully we'll get some games in next week if not sooner.
-
Diaspora kept me busy this week. I want to play next week (If only to steal all your good ideas for our multiplayer. :p )
-
I added a 3.6.10 compatible daemon for TBP, so now you can use a 3.6.10 build for multi too. I've attached a multi.cfg file for the TBP setup to make it easier on everyone.
[attachment deleted by Tolwyn]
-
Great that plus a working 3.6.10 build in the same day. :yes:
I'll probably start testing in a day or 2 as soon as I get the other Mantis stuff I need to test done.
-
hey guys...
since I have now been playing a couple of more missions, I thought about joining you guys on thursday nights... 2100 (CET) is a perfect time for me here.....
Anyway, I've seen that you guys run some 3.6.10 build... which I couldn't find anywhere... so could someone help me please? I followed the intructions in the Multiplayer Setup thread... and I could log in (with that game warden thing) and even play a mission (alone, but it worked)...
so what else do I need to do before thursday?
-
Is there a spectator mode for Thursday Nights?
-
there is a join as observer mode but im nt sure if it works in tbp , it should though.;;
-
Is there a spectator mode for Thursday Nights?
Why not play though? We tend to stay away fron TvT and Dogfight modes and tend to stick to humans vs AI which is much more fun. :)
-
nobody needs to have a specific kill ratio, skill level or anything. We are happy if we can get a game together. It's for the fun.
Thank god, SummerTime will be over soon, I should be able to join more often then.
-
We also are still using the 3.6.9 build included with 3.4b. That 3.6.10 stuff is just for testing right now and not used in the sessions.
-
which 3.6.10 build works for testing? and can we play your planet mission on thursday pls fubar?
-
Currently no recent 3.6.10 builds work for TBP. It's being worked on though.
Well my current version of the planet mission doesn't work due to some 3.6.9 bugs. I'm still working on it and if I get a working version by then we can. Otherwise it may be awhile before that mission is playable again. If I have to use a 3.6.10 build to get it to work the way I want then it will be put on hold.
-
thans fubar.........
-
oh, if I don't need anything else... then.... looking forward to thursday :-)
oh, btw: is there a teamspeak or vent server around, on which we could join?
-
I ask because if I was to program a cinematic, I think it's easier if a spectator is given an observer mode without a HUD, and allows the participants to make the scene themselves. It's almost like directing a movie, but being in control of the camera.
-
oh, if I don't need anything else... then.... looking forward to thursday :-)
oh, btw: is there a teamspeak or vent server around, on which we could join?
i know some ppl have teamspeak so if you post before with the details maybe some ppl will log into it.......
hope i can play this thursday :nervous:
-
Are we on for tonight? I can either start coding or deal with installing my joystick.
-
I'll be there as soon as I finish breakfast and reading the forum.
-

playing with the joystik is fun....
I'll be there as soon as I finish breakfast and reading the forum.
im already waiting
-
Okay. I'll close MSVC and get to installing. :)
-
sorry guys, my TBP collapsed... anyway, that was an awesome first time multiplayer, thanks!
-
nice to play along side you......
if you want to play more multiplayer try fs, 3.6.10 is in need of bug testing
captain custard
-
did anyone try an Operation?
-
We did. Much pain ensued.
-
Yea we think an asteroid spawned ontop of Kara. :lol:
-
Yep. I was flying along one minute and then dead with no clue what hit me the next.
You really need respawns for that mission.
-
I will be along for the ride this thursday as I am feeling ill and will be confined indoors. I will try to bring a non-dynamic Path of Blood.
-
well, no respawns was the first design choice I made. Maybe I should change the mission itself?
-
Well the asteroid field definitely doesn't work. You can see the asteroids spawning.
-
yeah vid, your missions are awesome... but some of them are "a bit hard"...
oh, btw: can someone tell me which ports I have to open to host TBP games?
-
7808
-
ok, thanks...
-
yeah vid, your missions are awesome... but some of them are "a bit hard"...
well, it's intended. If the guys (or girls, if there are female TBP players online ;)) could beat the coop campaigns in one run, they would loose interest quickly.
Well, so far BlackSun and Isolation have been beaten on medium, at least during matches I participated.
But I agree that I have do change Isolation M1, the Asteroids suck.
-
so are we playing tonight?
-
I'll be there in a few.
-
minutes, beers , hours,
starts to worry :nervous:
-
i'll be there as well.... still 15 minutes, right?
-
With Fubar, you can safely assume it's beers.
-
Great night, expect that Freespace crashed during the last round of our Duel of the Fates. Well, IP and I had won anyway.
:)
-
My backup had to format a new tape. That causes a momentary huge lag spike on my network. Apparently FS2 doesn't like it. BTW since you all dropped I won. :p
-
modesty
ha
-
Anyone showing up? Game's up but no takers yet.
-
sorry i cant , i hate my computer........
-
I am there for once.
-
Sorry I didn't make it tonight.
-
Well it was just Vid, Shade and myself so we turned it into a 3.6.10 test session. Still some bugs to work out but quite a bit of progress from a couple of weeks ago.
-
yeah but to my surprise, it did run pretty well. My concerns about a new "supported" build have (almost) disappeared. Some more work and 3.6.10 should provide us with great online fun, especially since there is FINALLY a lobby.
The only thing disturbing me is that -1 kill thing... ...I had 2 kills, fried another enemy with a pair of Venom 2s and my kills went to 1 again...
-
FUB, forget about that voice bug. I just found out that for some reason, the current version of Operations has no voice-files assigned to messages in that mission :ick:
-
I had those on the list to test last night but due to fall finally arriving I'm overwhelmed with about 2000 green tomatoes. Spent the night canning. :hopping:
I will get to looking at those bugs. If I can reproduce them I will report them.
-
Well the sound one I could have swore popped up in FS2 earlier but I've been trying all night and can't get it to happen. Haven't seen the other one either.
-
remember to update your copy of Operations for this evening :)
Hope I'll be there too.
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,55792.0.html
-
guess Shade is going to agree with me, that the rebalanced Operations play great.
If I could only find out what's forcing BlackSun 1 to refuse fullfilling the vic condition and what keeps crashing BlackSun2...
-
Actually ran into a problem with Black sun 1. Mission works in 3.6.9 but not 3.6.10. Haven't tried the rest yet.
Let me guess I was early because of time change differences? Had a game up for 20+ minutes and no one showed. :mad:
-
So I missed it?
I was hoping to at least watch you guys; I suck at all operations.
-
so thats wy i couldnt find the game grrrrrr
please can you send me a 3.6.10 build id like to test too
-
I'm using Taylor's multi_test build for testing TBP. It's available in the recent builds forum.
-
The Password Protected Standalone is the only one up. Is there a way to join it?
-
Yea you enter the password. If you don't know it then you probably shouldn't be running 3.6.10 for TBP multi yet.
-
How long do these sessions normally last? It starts at 3:00 PM for my timezone, but I don't get back from classes until 5:00 PM.
-
whos up for playing tonight and is it 3.6.9 or 3.6.10 ?
-
I'm on and the games up.
-
sorry about last night , after the second or was it third crash , my computer froze and by the time i got it shut down and rebooted and checked over it was getting late , hope to play again soon ......;
-
Any game today?
-
Only for people who have done voiceacting... ;)
-
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it yet or not. All depends on what time the delivery guys get here. They are coming between 1 and 3. If there here close to 1 I'll be there if it's closer to 3 I won't be able to make it.
-
What build are we playing with? Taylor's latest?
-
Well I was going to stick with 3.6.9 for this week unless only a few of us show up who already have Taylors 3.6.10 build or can grab it quickly. There isn't a new Knightly build with the changes in it yet. I was going to wait until that was out and Vid was back before going into public testing with 3.6.10.
-
Actually I've fixed Mantis 1633 (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=1633) so if you want me to put up an SVN build with that change in it for testing I've got no objection.
-
So... erm... wich build are we going to use in the next 30 minutes?
-
T- 15min and no answer :nervous:
-
It is scary :(.
-
starts biting nails :shaking:
-
Well I'll 7z and upload my build anyway. :)
-
;7
-
Yai! Karajorma to the rescue!
-
Well I'm still waiting on that deliver that was supposed to be here by 3 so it doesn't look good for me at the moment. Probably going to show right at game time. If you guys want to test that build that Kara is compiling it's fine with me. I'll grab it too just in case.
-
http://www.freespacefaq.com/Misc-Downloads/Builds/MultiplayerInitialOrdersFix.7z
And I'll be online soon.
-
thanks .....
-
Alright! So who is going to host now? (btw, is it supposed to be d or R that i`m supposed to use?=
-
What you need to do:
Select the build in the launcher (duh)
Set the Enable 3D shockwave flag on
Set the Use models for weapons flag on (under gameplay)
Place this multi.cfg file in your tbp\data directory: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=52290.0;attach=7189
-
What I mean, is that there are both r and d endet builds...
-
R. No need to use debug builds for normal gaming. Besides debug builds are a real PITA with TBP.
-
Thanks both of you.
-
mmmm lost clone of in the ether and kara had to go , no one to play with........ but mmmm 3.6.10 is very pretty in tbp
-
Yeah, my PC burned out...
Had to clone it.
-
So any actual TBP problems with 3.6.10? If not we'll stick with this build for the time being.
-
Worked just fine.
-
and tonight , what build we going to use , same as last time or the new knightly build....?
wonders :rolleyes:
-
depends on the amout of people arriving.
I hope we are going to test Operations again tonight. Isolation works, the others are still glitchy since the update.
Fubar and myself (especially Fub) have been working on replacements.
-
to play or not to play that is the question , be it nobler in the mind to suffer the nari or just go and get drunk?
-
Get drunk and play.
BTW: I'm in the lobby. Same 3.6.10 build as last week. Can be found a few posts up.
-
Good session today. Took some time to get everyone on the right config but we still got quite a few missions played. Couple of bugs but that's to be expected. That's why were testing. I'm posting a screenshot of that one. Never seen anything like it. Oh and stats seem to be working now. Only played one validated mission but mine saved.
(http://fubar4.fubar.org/mantis/core2quad/medals.jpg)
-
pretty laggy yesterday and multiple weird bugs.
I am not sure if maybe FUB's server got things messed up :confused:
-
I think you were the only one that had lag problems for the most part. There was some toward the end of Ultimate Gauntlet but I was fighting like 50 ships at the time. I do run backups on Thursday too which can cause spikes at times.
-
Was a nice game yesterday, but a bit laggy sometimes ( weird thing is - and it used to happen with the old 3.6.9 BtRL/ TBP build too - there was a lot of ships and action on the screen and the ping was around 60-70, on later missions with much less action it was average 170. In the last mission 400+ have screenshots).
Stats didn't saved for me, but 3.6.10 is still in the testing phase, so it's ok.
The only real weird thing was, as i started the game with 3.6.10 multi for the first time.
The game started over and over again, i had like 20+ 3.6.10 exes running, and for each one i closed, another one popped up in the task manager, 'till my comp crashed.
Happened only once yesterday, it haven't been reported before, so i guess it's something on my end.
-
I guess my stats weren't saved either, but there wasn't much to be saved, tbh. :lol: I got too many lag hits and very little kills.
-
snip
Lucky dog.......
I need to get back into this... once i get broadband maybe. :nod:
-
tonight who's playing
-
I'm out on the town, beer + drunk secretaries.
-
I'm out on the town, beer + drunk secretaries.
hopefully finishing with a lengthy joystick session ..... ;7
-
I'm not sure yet. All depends on weather I pass out after stuffing my face or not. Going to try to be there though.
-
won't be. Going out now ;7
-
ill head to the lobby if no ones there in ten minuits i will give up4 the night
-
Give me a few more than that. I'm on my way but it will be about 15.
-
important: did sb play yesterday?
more important: did sb play Operations?
most important: if yes, please tell me that all issues are finally fixed!
:lol:
-
No games yesterday. :(
-
yes no games , im sorry i headed of to the lobby got everything set up and then my girlfreind came home ..... and demanded my presence :D, so i apologise and hopefully i will be free next week , and tomorrow nite also
-
hello , so are we playing tonight and do we need to download anything special (updates,fixes) .... hope were free to play tonight , im on im msn etc pm me ....
-
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. The only thing new you should need is Vid's new Operation.vp
-
game (3.6.9) is up
-
Grabbing Operations
-
mmmm after downloading the fubar fix the other week , i cant see any games on 3.6.9, is it me , just checked fs2net no games are up , ill log in on 3.6.10
kara build get me in lobby with irc
-
Can't see any games using either 3.6.9 or 3.6.10.
-
ive got a 3.6.10 game up
-
We're all on 3.6.9
-
cant see you or me ( me on fs2net) and you (i can see in fs2net) but not on server listy , im so lucky
-
I'll try to make it next Thursday, schedule non-withstanding. I'll be an easy target. :lol:
-
T -42 minutes
-
Wait 42 minutes? Last week it was at 2 this week 3? I'll never figure this GMT and daylight savings time thing out.
Well while your waiting might as well grab the 4985 revision of 3.6.10: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,58190.0.html
I've been testing multi with it for several days and only 1 fluke crash in debug.
-
T-27 minutes and I discovered that FUB's recent fix for a problem fried my newest Multiplayer Mission :hopping:
-
t-12 and im not sure if im willing to styand between you and fubar
-
waits in limbo for the masses to arrive
-
T-27 minutes and I discovered that FUB's recent fix for a problem fried my newest Multiplayer Mission :hopping:
It didn't fry it it just can't be opened in 3.6.9. I'll refix it for 3.6.9. I still have the original unedited version. That's why I put an a at the end.
-
anyone playing tonight?
because if yes, I'll try to join you on a Debian System in a couple of minutes (trying to fix setup problems at the moment)
€ðit: Well, that's gonna take longer
-
I was and still am ill :ick:
-
Well, now I have a new USB-Joystick and it is basically amazing (well, actually it's just OK, but the change from my previous joystick is quite grand)!
So, now I can join you on thurdays again, running TBP on Linux (Debian GNU/Linux "Lenny")
-
just curious, anybody in for today?
Myself and me will be there, since the family party was yesterday and will be continued tomorrow, so I got a nice quiet day today :)
-
hey is any one gunna be there tonight
this will be my first time
-
What with it being New Year's and all I can't promise anything. But I wouldn't mind having a game.
-
if my head stops spinning and i manage to eat something ill be there
-
is there a game up and running? because I cannot see one and now I don't whether it is my PC or not,
-
mine is up
if you cant see it, try hosting yourself. My modem isn't configurated correctly.
EDIT: Okay, forget about that. Getting some sleep :)
-
Meh, and just as I remember it's Thursday, too. Next time hopefully I'll realize what day it is while you've still got the game up :p By the way, is TBP validated yet? I see Fubar has managed to get his stats saved after a mission, but even a clean install from the DVD release still gives me the hacked tables warning.
-
3.6.9 doesn't save stats. 3.6.10 seems to be working but I have only managed to get one mission in with another player. Someone else's stats saved as well but they had 0 score.
-
That explains much, as I only tried it with the included (3.6.9) build. I'll see if 3.6.10 gives the same warning.
[Edit] 3.6.10 still complains about an invalid ships.tbl. However, when I check multi.log it shows ships.tbl as valid, so it may just be a bug that I'm getting the warning. No way to tell until I actually try playing a game with another player so that stats should to save, I suppose.
-
we are still waiting for 3.6.10 official release to validate
-
The missions that were validated for 3.6.9 don't save stats in 3.6.9 but they do in 3.6.10.
-
we are still waiting for 3.6.10 official release to validate
I don't think you need to wait. Missions that are valid for one build should be valid for another one.
-
The missions that were validated for 3.6.9 don't save stats in 3.6.9 but they do in 3.6.10.
they are? Some are but not all. I am talking about all.
-
Well we can't validate them until we test them fully in 3.6.10. I haven't seen any major host side problems but client side still needs some testing.
-
Anyone going to be there this week. I haven't hit the sack yet but should be there. Was trying to finish the ground attack mission but ran into a few more problems so it's going to have to wait. If there was a world record for the most Mantis reports caused by trying to make one mission this one would hold it by a landslide.
-
I'll try to be there. :)
-
if i can get back home tonight (snow) i will be there is there anything special we should download etc.....
-
hello anyone there ill be there in 5 min i live in Australia
-
its at 8pm gmt thats in 10 ish hours
-
so that would be sometime on fri is that right
-
where in australia are you ? what is your +gmt?
look at the first post in this topic theres a huge list
-
albury nsw on the border between nsw and vic i think its +11:00
-
just played a round Vid's Defense since nobody is showing up. Hard Difficulty. My own mission rated me almost capable :lol:
Guess, compared to FUB's Legendary on insane, I suck, although FUBAR played with another (and easier) version of the mission :)
-
Unless you changed it since the Xmas package that score was with the final version. :pimp:
-
crap. Now I suck :hopping:
-
i cant see your game vid , in fs2dnet yep but ingame no .... also im not showing up , what build you using
-
the standart 3.6.9. Maybe FUBAR should host.
-
It will be about another 20 minutes before I get there. Have to finish breakfast and go next door yet.
-
always forget about you living in USA.
-
ok just tried maybe im bugging again , i had to move my whole fs installation folder to an external disc its taking up 2 much space , 25gb and growing
so whoever hosts please what build and what port and if theres a tcp or multi cfg thingy please link it
breakfast fubar its got to be at least lunchtime at yours lol
-
I'm nocturnal so 2PM = breakfast.
I'd like to give 3.6.10 some testing if we can. Grab the latest from the Knightly build forum and the mult.cfg from earlier in this thread. That's all you should need.
-
okayokay. To prevent people from searching here it is:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,60252.0.html
multi cfg attached
and what's the required number for your TBP/data fs2open_pxo? 12008?
We definitly need to finalize and rationalise that. It sacres newbies away.
[attachment stolen by Slimey Goober]
-
12004 for fs2open_pxo.cfg, 12008 for multi.cfg. Oh, and I'll be logging on shortly, had to eat dinner first :)
[Edit] I'm in, but the game's invisible to me. Hanging out in the lobby for now so I can see who logs on :)
-
that means, you don't need to change anything, just put the files into place and restart the game.
Damn SCP team, give me a final 3.6.10
-
thats great and yes we need to sort this out to make it simple for every one , when i looked for the multi.cfg i found this

-

We don't want a 3.6.10 final until we know it works first.
-
Yep. And incidentally one of the major remaining bugs affects multi, so we definitely want that fixed first.
-
it's also on page 12 post nb.1 and page 15 downstairs :lol:
-
great so its everywhere can some one link it into the first post page one with a
"if playing in 3.6.10 you need this "
bit of advice , swiftly followed by if you want to play 3.6.9 you dont
-
testing is always a pain in the ass and remember we are testing at the moment
-
i wondered what we were doing ......
so whos hosting ?
and i apologise in advance if im missing stuff
-
FUB is hosting on 3.6.10. We are waiting for you atm.
-
I miss the multiplayer games :(
-
your rig is broken right? :sigh:
Anyway, great game tonight. Getting some sleep now.
-
thqnks evry one for tonight , great games and my stats saved ..... yay
-
We got in almost 3 hours of playing. First real test of a TvT in 3.6.10 went off without a hitch (except me picking the wrong weapons). Only one glitch (been seen before) and no crashes as far as I know.

I think in the next week or two (depending on the bug situation) I'll start posting a newbie friendly zip with the exe we will be using that day, multi.cfg, and any new missions released since the second pack. Those of us that have the multi.cfg (especially people like me with custom ones for standalones) can of course just grab the exe.
-
i have to say playing with the 3.6.10 build is a true visual pleasure.
-
3 hours? Did you continue playing later on or what?
-
we played a few games after ..... i now realise i need to practice as fubar kicked my ass ( 3x more kills than me)
but seriously it was great to play with 6players, and the 3.6.10 really boost the graphics
-
Great to hear you're still getting such a good turnout on Thursdays.
-
i now realise i need to practice as fubar kicked my ass ( 3x more kills than me)
FUB is probably the best TBP player since the constant testing of (my) stuff forces countless hours, especially with the debug.
-
Yea you think Vid's stuff is hard normally try playing it on insane in a debug build. Makes regular insane seem easy. :lol:
-
hi everyone , who is up for playing tonight?
msg for fubar....
if your playing tonigght , did you ever discover if the 100fps does anything to the game play?
hope there is a few ppl tonight,
later
-
I'll be there. Same build as last week.
Nope never did try that again. That's only a standalone option anyway.
-
many new players using the 3.6.9 build online. Saddly, none of them have correct forward port (just like me) for their modems.
-
so are we playing 3.6.9 or 3.6.10?
-
3.6.10 same exe as last week.
-
many new players using the 3.6.9 build online.
There's life in the old dog yet.
-
yeah but I hate it. No lobby, connection issues, blabla. Still, nothing we can do to make 3.6.10 stable and noob friendly as long as it isn't final.
Just had some time to spare and since FS2 keeps crashing with those mediavps, I played through FH2260 for fun.
The funny thing is, I can't believe I fredded this, it's awesome :lol: Damn, I need to get that sequel out soon...
-
Funny I was just thinking about starting a new thread with 3.6.10 multi instructions. I think there are only a couple of bugs that are holding up the 3.6.10 release. Going to check what I have open in Mantis that is major and effects multi. I know there's a lot in there but quite a bit of it won't be fixed for 3.6.10. I'll test out the most recent build (if there's any real difference from the one we've been using) and if it checks out get a package ready for next week. If a major fix occurs then I'll switch it. This way at least when we get to 3.6.10 final we will know what the problems are and wipe out any TBP specific ones if there are any left.
Right now the way things are I can't really see any reason for 3.6.9 except 3.6.10 isn't final. The build we are using now is a lot more stable in multi then 3.6.9 ever was.
-
its thursday and i was wondering what are the rules of engagement for tonight
-
testing 3.6.10
-
Yea same thing as last week. I hope I'll be there.
-
im in the lobby
-
game on
-
its thursday..... tell me were playing please
-
I'll be there but I don't know if I'll be able to host. This weeks backup is off schedule due to some drive problems and will most likely be backing up this computer while I'm playing.
-
ok well we will decide in the lobby whose in the best position to host , connection etc ill see you there at 8pm gmt (ish)
-
I should be there this week. Either same build as last week or the latest Knightly. Shouldn't really matter.
Might want to grab this: Path of Blood (http://www.fubar.org/TBP/Multi/POB.vp) beta. Not finished yet but mission 1 and 2 are ready for full scale testing.
-
see you there..........
lets hope that were not lagged to death .........
-
like two weeks ago? or was it even worse last week?
-
I'll be there. Someone IM me if I'm not.
-
Tell me how Fubar's improved POB works out.
-
well, from what I've played. The original was already playing pretty good (but M3, that lacked something).
-
It's been Fubarized.
-
Right. I had nothing to do with it (but a few conversations), so it's save to say that.
-
like two weeks ago? or was it even worse last week?
it was actually unplayable....... but we played one game and both left to drink beer
-

It was last week and the problem was because of an outage in my area the phone company didn't know about. There was over a 200ms hop from one of their routers to the next. In game pings were about 700.
I don't expect that to happen again.
-
Right.
You were involved as well? Cool :cool:
-
Already in the lobby if anyone wants to get an early start.
-
sry IP but I think you missunderstood the post. :lol:
Coming Fub. Newest build.
-
got suck since I was gliding when FUB suddenly hit the jump out. And yet, Vidmaster remained ingame. That bug is still there SCP!!!
-
Got hit by that annoying crash bug :( It's getting rather late too as I'm working at 6am tomorrow, so just keep playing without me. Gotta get some sleep... have fun guys.
-
got suck since I was gliding when FUB suddenly hit the jump out. And yet, Vidmaster remained ingame. That bug is still there SCP!!!
So that's what happened. Good to know. I'll update that one.
Just reopened the Mantis report. It was fixed by disabling alt-j while in glide mode but doesn't take into consideration the client's status at the time. Understandable as it was originally reported as a single player bug.
-
I'm sure I fixed it for multiplayer too. I'll take a look though.
-
space is empty :)
I call it a night.
-
sorry guys , work finished late today and i wasnt in any fit sate to play............ next time
-
I'm not playing until I get a working joystick. Playing on mouse last time was sheer hell for me.
-
full keyboard forever :)
-
another void.
And I am not in the mood either, to be honest.
-
I'm there. I was 5 minutes late but I know what you mean.
I'll stick around for a few just in case.
-
I'm still swearing at my mouse controls.
-
Aw bloody hell, I forgot again.
-
I'm here if it's not late for you.
-
the build is 3.6.10, the place is TheBabylonProject
-
you playing vid?
-
Well we got in a few games this week anyway. Stats save is working. Overall a good but short session.
-
damn Alcibiades' Gamble :mad: TBP isn't first in the list anymore, that made it so handy to click on. We need to rename the game to A Babylon Project :lol:
No Fub nor Vid tonight. Both busy. Which doesn't prevent anybody else from playing of course. Beware that the bug in BlackSun2 has still not been found.
-
sulks :wtf:
-
T -1hour so whose availible , what build and all that jazz ....
where is vid?
where is fubar?
is Kara MIA
one wonders?
-
well, at least I am here and online
-
wow your alive
-
I'm around. 25 minutes to start.
-
new 3.6.10 nightly build to start? or will this crash the server
-
going to try out the INFERNO VERSION of the current release candidate tonight
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,61891.0.html
-
Using Zathras too? I'll try to be along. Got a few things to organise first so if I'm not there, start without me. :)
-
im in the lobby with a Zathras and RC1 INF loadout
hope you all can make it.........
-
So are we all DST yet?
-
im around tonight so ..............
-
sat in the lobby
-
I am currently moving to a new PC. No time, often no internet, tons of programs missing, ...
and Crysis on VeryHigh Settings :lol:
-
Zathras updated to RC2. Remember RC2 is not compatible with RC1 or any other builds.
-
I am currently moving to a new PC. No time, often no internet, tons of programs missing, ...

Is that even POSSIBLE? I have a pretty high end machine, and I have to play on medium.
-
It is. And runs like butter. :)
Anyway, movement should be finished after this weekend. Next week, I will probably be more than occupied with constructing the new desk and relocating the furniture. And after that, I have to get the Internet running properly.
