Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 multiplayer action!
I can't load up the stable builds page. In any case, if it still shows 1.6.57 then it's what we used last time, which means it will have the level switching and reactor pickup bugs we ran into. (it will work for two players, but so does the latest one)

Are any of you setting up a game or something?

It's 1.6.58, so I don't know


How many of us have D3, or should we just do this Saturday?

I have it (installed now). I played it over LAN with my brother a few days ago and it works great on that at least.

Hmmm... anyone else


If everyone does, Steel Vapor, under Dementia is a really fun entropy level.

Well dudes, I'm calling it a night for now.  My neighbor's setting off some ...fireworks.  *COUGHCOUGHBIGFREAKINGSHELLSCOUGHCOUGH*
So obviously I got to go watch. XD

Play again sometime this weekend?

I have D3+Mercenary. I'll reinstall it later.


Oh, and, watsisname and I had a blast just messing around. Like: Me ramming into him, so I die, then I kill him with my explosion. And five seconds later, I blow the reactor. And proceed to forget where the exit is.

That's how a lot of my games go... things get interesting when there's a Pheonix cannon involved.

If it's D3 I see no reason not to do it on Saturday, just make sure you have the 1.5 patch (google it if you don't know what I'm talking about

So you were actually playing for a while? I wonder why the game wasn't showing up on the tracker for me, I checked several times earlier.

Yeah, I had my game going until about 1am (eastern US).  Not sure why it stopped being visible for you...
Oh well, the good news is that now it seems as if *mostly* everyone is able to host without any issues (not sure if cutting off the firewall is still neccessary or not though... I had mine off for the duration of the game)  And the lesser amount of bugs is a very nice thing, too.  My sincere thanks to karx11erx for his hard work. :)

Heh, and you haven't lived until you've had a flare-fight in a narrow hallway. :D

IMHO this is kind of a step backwards as far as bugs go, but it's nice finally having a reactor.

#1 Turn off improved UDP/IP connection quality. Apparently it doesn't work as it is supposed to.
#2 Set packets per second to 10. 5 is too little, not to speak of 1 or 2.
#3 I need to know when you're playing again, and I would like to participate as client (not server) to see whether I can observe any bugs, and if so, fix them.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see my game this time, but we could give it another try tonight if you'd like.  Just let me know what time you'd like me to start the game.  Anytime between now and 1am Eastern US (7am UTC) is good for me. :)

I'll be free pretty much straight from 11:00 to 4:00 AM EST. Maybe you should try hosting a direct IP game this time instead of a tracker game. I have been unable to get my own games to show up on the tracker even though they work fine with direct IP.

Have you opened the tracker port (9424)?

Re: semi-sub-offitial hlp super happy descent 2 multiplayer action!
Eh?

Sorry I wasn't able to participate in trying to get things going last time. Now that I'm off campus and back home (no campus firewalls, etc) I'd be willing to try hosting again. :) I'll let you know when I throw a server up today. It'll probably be late afternoon/evening pacific time.

We didn't actually play much anyway. It was hard to coordinate anything last night with the forums down. Anyone up for tonight instead?

That could be the problem, I'll need to try that.

Sorry about last night guys.  I had come home later than I expected and found the forum down until really late this morning.
I'm up for trying again tonight though, so count me in. :)
