thanks in advance
;) :D ;) :D ;) :D
-
Good try! ;)
Multiplayer patch is pending final 3.6.10 EXE.
-
What, are you new here?
You can never get a release date out of them. Ever.
Trust me, I've been at it for a while...
-
Believe me, when they release it I'll be the first in line to make multiplayer missions for people.... but... they don't like breaking promises of release dates... so let's just sit and contemplate how much fun it will be. :nod:
-
but now the pressures on ..........
Fs multi .....
btrl multi .........
tbp multi........
will the sleeping giant raise its head, and move forwrds into the unknown ..........
waits....
-
Actually if you've been paying attention you might have noticed that WCS isn't the only multiplayer TC yet to release. :D

wasnt trying to say it was the only one...................................................
but looking in fs2net it is the only one with 40+ players registered and no playground.............
and that shows how much ppl want this to be a reality
....
great work guys ......
-
Actually I was referring to Starfox : Shadows of Lylat which will probably be fairly big too. When that comes out we'll have a choice of FS2 and 4 different TCs to play.
-
And each TC with a completely different gameplay. ;)
-
so that means soon then .............. lol
-
so were getting so much closer to the 3.6.10 release is there a bug testing build i can try and are there any multi missions etc hiding in the background ? if so i vounteer to spend some time with them......
i know ive dug up my old thread but i feel its better than starting a new one.......
-
It is surely good to know, that there are people interested in testing multiplayer. We will surely start a beta test at some stage. The basic multiplayer package has been finished about 6 or 7 months ago.
-
kool so if its finished shoudnt we be trying to shake its cage a little and see what falls out ?, if not now is there a 3.6.10 build thats reasonably stable i can try ?
-
Actually we've already tested it with reasonable success. At that time the net code was fairly slow, but it was still a lot of fun.
-
returns to ask once more , 30 days later and wonders will santaclaus be giving us some new toys...
-
Guess you aren't lucky. The EXE is not ready for release yet.
-
its ok 7zip it and ill work around it :lol:

How true... :lol:

knock knock?

hi , its me again
just wondering if there is any more news ?
if it needs bug testing ill volunteer
basically im judt offering my help and hoping that some time this year multiplayer will be a reality
-
well here we go ..
just another quick look to see if there is any news, multiplayer has been picking up lately and with the changes that will be implemented to the server base fairly soon (when 3.610 is validated ) is the multiplayer 3.6.10 bug tested as you said in an earlier post the multiplayer has been around for nearly a year now , i spend quite a bit of my spare time running through the multiplayer games in 3.6.10 and testing so if you need a hand to get it ready for the server changes please give me a shout ........
keep up the good work
-
We are really sorry to disappoint you, the Saga team knows there are a lot of fans out there waiting for the multiplayer part, but unfortunately we still don't have the MP part out.
At the moment we are focused on finishing a lot of cool features and polishing our missions for Single player.
But we are really confident that MP will be released somewhere between June 2009 and .....July 2669
Stay with us, we are all hard working here!
-
im back
any news?
-
AAAHHH!!! It hurts!!
.....
...no, really. It really, really hurts to tell you that MP part is not finished yet. I hate it.
-
Are we there yet?
-
Multiplayer patch for the Prologue is kinda finished. Not that it will be released soon, but that is a different story.

Now that's just cold.

3.6.10 comes with a few enchancements, that result in compatibility issues with 3.6.9 data set. The mp patch fixes them to some extent, yet it might break single player part. I don't have time to fix all of the issues since we have to keep up with our timetable for the main release. I am not being cold, I am acting in the best interest of the project.
-
Is the issue with the code for 3.6.10 itself or the data you added for multiplayer? Cause for the former I can see your point as it is likely to be a big support problem if you have to have two different builds for the game. If it is the latter however, you could do what TBP are doing and release the multiplayer upgrade as a mod for the original release (Preferably in a folder simply called multiplayer) rather than putting it in the main folder where it can interfere with already released content.
-
as an official zathras tester , i am willing to spend some time running through this if you want , testing the multiplayer stuff , and as kara mentioned the use of the "patch" or "mod"pack really works and doesnt effect the main game ..; it has changed how we play multiplayer and what build etc we use and has helped us pass many a happy hour, if you want any more info please contact fubar or post in the zathras section
thanks a lot its really good to see that slowly things are moving foward for wing commander ....
-
hi Back again ... please dont get annoyed with my endless posting its just that i try to get as many ppl involved in the multiplayer side of the game as possible ...;
Today RC3 was released, and hopefully it will go final soon , so if you do need any help with getting the multiplayer tested im still here , i think the mod pack is a good way to go ...; anyway enough sauid , good luck and stay happy....hppe to hear from you soon
-
Any news on the multiplayer patch? It's Christmas time, and I thought that we'd hear a bit more about this.
-
Multiplayer patch has been canceled for several reasons.
-
main being that 3.6.9 is not supported by the server anymore :rolleyes:

well thats just silly , it has been mentioned and known for a long time that 3.6.9 was going to die a death in the multi side of things and i assumed that with all the new features needed for WCS it would at least be using a modified 3.6.10 or 3.6.11 build ..... hey ho
i suppose ill just have to wait a little longer , maybe play the multi side of WCS after i finish playing BWO ... ;7
-
It has nothing to do with 3.6.9 support being dropped actually.
The problem with the prologue package is that almost every asset has been replaced over the past 3 years. Creating a patch based on the most recent data set is more or less impossible. A beta version of the patch does exist, but I do not think we'll ever release it.
-
ok , so what is the problem with the beta patch and is there anyway that we can help to make this a viable patch , im not trolling , i would really like to se as many of the total conversions as possible have a multiplayer dimension ,
ps
thanks for the quick reply and pm me if there is anyway i can help
-
Sorry for the double post
