Title: WIH Multi Test #4!
Post by: bigchunk1 on May 06, 2011, 05:36:30 pm
Test concluded

Blue Planet:WIH multi (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=74974.0) is a community project which was started in mid January of 2011 to bring the Blue Planet universe and modpacks to the FSO multiplayer platform.

It's been awhile since our last test in late march and that means we have LOADS of content which has not been publicly tested. We have 12+ coop missions including conversions of favorite WIH missions such as Delenda Est, rebalanced tables and missions, all new implementations of the capship TvT games, RTS system. Bigger better mOrE MOAR!

We are aiming to have a test next weekend. May 13, 14, or 15th. Exact date and time TBD within the next few days based on majority. Just like before, if you are interested, please post a reply here or send me a PM. I will update the list of testers as they appear.

Also, if you are unsure if you can do this because you don't know how multi, mods or technical anything works... please please join us on IRC (https://wbe04.mibbit.com/?settings=b73fe961ed217d9a3cbd9637dc7ba9bf&server=irc.esper.net&channel=%23bp&noServerTab=false) and we can help you get setup.

Here's are some video demos of what to expect: capship TvT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5nCV6XPBhI&feature=channel_video_title)

How about having two tests, one starting at 6:00PM GMT on Saturday May 14th and another starting at 6:00AM GMT on Sunday May 15th?

This means Americans/Canadians will be able to play in the afternoon or at night on Saturday.

The Europeans will be able to play late at night on Saturday or early in the morning on Sunday.

And the Australians will be able to play in the afternoon on Sunday.

What is likely to happen is that the time between these two tests will have sporadic games being played, a marathon if you will, making it a good day to be a player of freespace.

We can use the teamspeak server as well... it will be a grand old time. What do you all say?

The 6:00 AM GMT session  :confused:
It's late (11pm and later) for NA people, and early (~6am lol) for EU people.

You have many people in East Asia interested? :P

SpardaSon21 is correct, we have a 18:00 (6pm) GMT for Europe and the US and 6:00 (6am) GMT for Australian players.

Of course, we don't mind which time you chose or if you play both, we're just trying to make it available for all players.
