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.

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:

Cool!!! 

[FUBAR-BDHR]

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).

[maje]

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.

[IPAndrews]

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.

[Shade]

True, two betas working well with each other prior to any testing for it is a bit much to hope for, I guess Still, I'll give it a try, 3.6.10 is might surprise you

[Shade]

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.

[IPAndrews]

If it works in single player as well I'll eat my hat.

[Shade]

[Edit] Never mind. Didn't notice 3.4 includes SP missions. Me dumb.

[IPAndrews]

That's fine. I'm not sure I have time for all these bizarre activities I seem to be signing up for anyway.

[Shade]

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

[IPAndrews]

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.
