Anybody free to do some descenting tonight?  Maybe in about an hour or two from now -- 9 or 10 PM Pacific, 12 or 1 AM Eastern.  Hopefully we can get like 4 people so we can try out entropy again?

Sorry, I only saw your post this morning. How about trying for this weekend, maybe Friday or Saturday night?

[simX]

No prob.  Both Friday and Saturday night should work for me, and I think watsisname suggested doing that too (implying that he can make it then).

[watsisname]

Yep, both Friday and Saturday night are good.  Either I or simX will host.

Like CP, I'm going to be rather busy with college-stuffs for a while, so I'd love to have a few nice, long games of killing each other before that happens.
Speaking of killing each other... I watched some of my old demos I recorded of us playing, and found a totally hilarious line that Weepul said during a game of Shaker's Castle (with Mega missiles).  Now it's totally my new siggy.

There gonna be a game up tonight? 

[watsisname]

Yes, at 11pm EST.  Hope to see y'all there!   (I can host earlier, too, if anyone wants)
*Might also be a game tomorrow night, depending.  More on that later.*

Edit (again):  Erm, there might be another game tonight, probably around 11pm EST, and we're gonna try to figure out what the deal is with that player invisibility bug.  I know I've said that before, but I really mean it this time.
Ulala:  You able to join us again at some point?

Everyone make sure you have Descent 3 1.4 (NOT 1.5).

If you are unsure how to get a copy of it by next week, PM / e-mail me, and I'll explain it to you.

[watsisname]

Rightio, hopefully we all can try out multiplayer D3 sometime this weekend.  Is Friday and/or Saturday night good?

[Mars]

Any time this weekend is good for me. Might even be able to use my own computer (damn slow torrent)

[CP5670]

I'll reinstall the game tonight. Do you guys have the mercenary expansion?

What's the advantage to 1.4 over 1.5, by the way?

[Mars]

Other platforms (besides Windoze) don't have 1.5, and yes I do have Mercenary

Hey, guys, good news.   karx and I have squashed some more networking bugs -- powerups shouldn't rapidly multiply anymore, players should correctly rejoin (i.e.: regain their kills) when rejoining, and, finally, we think we've found the cause of that bug where it dumps you back to the netgame list screen when trying to join.

The first fix is already in .191, but karx will probably be releasing a newer version soon that fixes the last 2 bugs.

[Mars]

When does the bug where the kill count is complete bull**** get fixed?

Sounds good. Maybe we can finally get some entropy and CTF games going now.

Right after we fix the bug where some people are invisible to other players.

[watsisname]

Glad to hear about those latest bug-fixes.  I'm constantly amazed by the progress you and Karx are making with D2X-XL. 

I'll be installing D3 on my laptop tonight, and hopefully we can get some games going sometime after 9pm EST.  This ought to be super happy fun!

Unfortunately, I am unable to get descent 3 working on my computer .  Im still trying to figure it out, but I don't think I'll be able to be there tonight!  Hope you guys have lots of fun!!

[Mars]

What is the problem you are having?

[simX]

I'm constantly amazed by the progress you and Karx are making with D2X-XL. 

Well, to be honest, karx does most of the fixing.  I just sit at my compy in the debugger and report the values of various variables that he asks about.   But the Mac version seems to bring to the surface an inordinate number of networking bugs; either that, or I'm just really picky sometimes.

Guh, sorry to hear that. Maybe we should start tonight off with D2 again for a bit so everyone can meet, and then we'll host D3 after a little bit of that?  That way you can at least enjoy a bit of play.

BTW, hosting (either D2 or D3) will begin at about 11:00pm EST.
