*watsisname imagines ramming Simx to death with the monsterball when it is stuck to his ship*  

[karx11erx]

Stickiness removed.

[watsisname]

Aww -- I mean... yay! 

Oh, I will be able to host tonight, starting at roughly midnight EST.  We're totally doing monsterball at some point.

[Ulala]

I'll try to get in on it.

[CP5670]

ooh, this should be very interesting. I've wanted to see monsterball in D2 for a long time. Not sure how much time I'll have tonight, but I'll definitely drop in at some point.

[watsisname]

Game is up now, so join when ready.

Edit:  Well, this is interesting.  Mars sees multiple monsterballs, and none of them are the same as the one that I see.  We can shoot each other's monsterballs, but not collide with them.  Here's a silly pic of him floating inside my monsterball:

Well ... I thought this needs testing.

[Mars]

I saw two balls, neither of which whatsisname saw

There were problems when using different OS's with Monsterball. They are fixed in v1.7.6. The server should however go to the Monsterball menu and reset all values to defaults to remove the effects of the bugs. Doesn't mean there are no bugs here anymore, btw. (Though I hope there aren't ).

I'd need to participate in a Monsterball game to do some checking and debugging, but time zones are an issue ... I cannot always go to bed at 3 am.

We're often up around that time on the weekends, so you might be able to join us in the morning over there.

Anyone free for a game Saturday night at the usual time?

I have a family, I cannot play computer games in the morning. I can only do so if everybody else here is asleep.

Should be free most of the night. Post here if you're starting up a game.

Game of Monsterball is now up, using the latest version.  Let's see if Karx's bugfixin worked.
Edit:  Hrm, looks like it's not.  My primary weapons are really faint, and sometimes weapon shots will freeze in place at a certain spot.  If I try to pass in front of my weapon shots, then my ship freezes up as well.  I'll log a bug report of this later, but for now I'll host again at Neptune.  We might do D3 later, as well, if CP doesn't mind hosting.

[CP5670]

If anyone is available again, let me know. I had to go for a bit but am free again now.

[karx11erx]

Important:

You have to go to the monsterball settings menu when setting up a monsterball game as server and reset everything to defaults to remove the effects of the recently fixed bugs.

That's btw. what the update notes on the d2x history page say.

[watsisname]

Whoops.  I'll be sure to read those from now on, lazy me.
Edit from before:  Might be free Tuesday night, otherwise assume the usual weekend stuff.

[CP5670]

I have a ton of work over the next few days, but should have a lot of time after Thursday.

[CP5670]

It's been a rough week but I have a lot of time this weekend. Anyone up for a game tonight?

[watsisname]

I'll be hosting tonight starting at 11:40 EST.
Edit:  Game's up now.
