Yeah, but it's not likely to get fixed any time soon.  It would require a significant amount of rework to keep track of ammunition and so forth.

[kasperl]

ouch........

ok, how bad is any time soon?

[Goober5000]

I honestly don't know. I'd have to take a good look at the multiplayer code after 3.6 is released.  It's not a huge priority for me either.  It may get done in six months, it may get done in a year, or it may never get done.  Or someone else might do it.  I can't give you an estimate.

[kasperl]

ok.

prehaps a better error message is less work? this might break up quite a few people wanting LAN play with cool new features.

[Inquisitor]

Better error message would be a good work around.

This should go into the FAQ for now though.

[kasperl]

how nice.

i tested this without LS's effects, just using the MediaVP shinemaps, glowmaps and nebulae's, and it won't work. same error.

[Goober5000]

Try just removing the nebulas.

[kasperl]

i will, tomorow.

[kasperl]

that was grand.......

i disabled the neb vp (changed extension to vpDISABLED) and run multi. the computers won't see eachothers games whatever i do. just nothing shows up in the list. i try some other stuff, still naught. i enable the VP and still nothing.

so basicly, things got a lot worse, without even changing builds.

kasperl, if you are using my 04/05 build than try the new one that Goober500 put out or my 04/01 build.  The 04/05 build is based on the Linux tree and has a lot of networking changes to support PPC.  It looks like there may be a bug in the code where it doesn't form a JR packet correctly but does process incoming packets correctly.  In other words it would work on the server end but not the client.  I would recommend not using that build for either though and try the 04/26 build instead.  If this does fix the problem then please let me know so that I can rework multimsgs.cpp and get this working again.

[kasperl]

ok, i will check.

[kasperl]

ok, using Goobs build it won't work, because of the interface error (clicking commit gives me the help screen), but a home made compile from CVS (this morning) worked fine.
