I know, DivX is better, I have an unsupported suspicion they are a bit like compressed ANI files, but with a 16-bit palette instead of the 8-Bit one in standard ANI files.

The ironic thing is, MVEs *ARE* 8-bit.

I downloaded 3.6 and compiled it.  When I goto multi it seems to be working fine (besides no servers).  But if I try and create my own game I see a quick loading screen and I'm back to the desktop.  Any suggestions?  Or am I doing something wrong?

Edit:  I've also tried the exe that was linked in my thread about finding the 3.6 code and get the same problem.

3.6 is availble (?) Where I can download it?
I use 5-22-04 Bob Decal build, when I click on multi it says that connection with FS2NetD server is lost . Is there any better build for multi, masterserver is not up or am I do something wrong? It's not working even with "test" login and password o.O

He built it out of CVS it sounds like.

There will be a release thread soon though.

As for it not working, not sure why, will have to test it.

Did you set up the build properly so it tries to reach Inq's server and not Kazans temporary testing server (which is down)?

Simple n00bie, dumb question: How to do that? How do I must set up my build for Inq's server?

I would assume that I did not.

[Lightspeed]

youll have to edit the multiplayer .cfg files to point to whatever server Inq put up. That is if

a) the server is already up

b) you know the addy and ports

Two things I have no answers for, right now.

[Inquisitor]

Whan i have it running,  I will publish the details

[Bobboau]

so I take it our little "licensing" problem has been settled with regard to the use of the new multi code?

[Kazan]

yes it has

[Bobboau]

hmmm, good.

theres this game, Allegiance (www.alleg.net) that has an amazing team-based multiplayer game.  Each team has a commander and fighters.  You have to scout for recources, fight your enemies and manage construction.  THe commander orders the troops in a RTS kinda way, but its people who fly the ships.  The areas are conencted by "nodes" and such.  You also do research for better stuff.  I played allegiance for a while, but it is butt-ugly, so i came to FreeSpace.
I looked into NodeWars but it doesnt seem the same...

[Darkhill]

We will probably end up using the peer to peer side of things.  But is there anything special in running a server?

[Inquisitor]

a FS2 SCP LAN server?

Not that I am aware of.

Nodewars is a story discussion, just writing about battles.

An FPS version of what you mentioned is Natural Selection, a HL1 mod.
FSCZ is doing something long term with resources, but nothing direct in-game, since that would count as major recoding.

My build and the build I got from here both crash to the desktop when even trying to do peer to peer.  After setting the game details and pressing accept (to goto the mission selection) the game says loading then goes to the desktop.

[Lightspeed]

Oh no, Multiplayer LAN is screwed AGAIN!

Search Mantis, there's an old bug report from me stating the same problem. It was supposedly fixed back then (never got around to test it though), but as it seems it is still there/ it is back.
