After having troubles trying to multi with Darkage today I decided to program something that might help us all handily play with our friends in FS2 multi.



What this program does:
It allows you to add friends to your player lists and stores them in an INI file for future gaming.



Keep note that I might not have cleaned out all of the bugs yet. I am aware of one that I've yet to clean up but for now I think this program runs a-ok.

If you do find a bug lemme know here. A common problem might be that you have missing DLL's and OCX's, etc... all of those can probably be found on google.com. Just search for the file it's looking for there and it should return results that'll allow you to download the file.

Bah, doesn't work.  I WON'T MY MONEY BACK!!!

only joking

Nice little program.

Previous said last bug fixed.

The bug was basically one in which would prevent similar names...

ie:

If there was a list in the INI like this:

Joey_21
Joey_212
Joey_213
Joey_214

or something like that then it would show them in the actual list as

Joey_21
Joey_21
Joey_21
Joey_21

If you don't understand then you need not worry about it. Just download and give it a try.

Hey this looks pretty neat. Could be especially useful when PXO is down; nice work there.

Runtime error spotted by Darkage.... fixed

Meh, if my friend goes online she get a "hacked table" message in the chatroom. Other people don't like that. Its just because its the ripped version

But now that she can't even go to that room... down... Its fine

Oooh, HLP tournament!

This should be brought to the attention of Inquisitor & Co. in the SCp forum.  They started toying with making a PXO independent multiplayer system for fs2_open, but I never heard what happened with that.  This could be helpful in that regard.

I think he may already know about some of this stuff... basically the "join" button uses command line feature -connect ###.###.###.### and the host button uses -startgame... I'm assume all SCP people knew about these.

It's a VB4 app, so if translation is required I can probably convert [most] of the code into c++.

fs2open 3.6 should have FS2NetD support
so we can have a new PXO
