that seems so fuck to me? 

that doesn't seem so fuck to me? 

and no. 

 

Ye!!!

let�s drink to that!!! 

how are you? Are your family and friends ok? 

We didn't really have the worst of it although we were visiting family in the middle of nowhere and closer to the epicentre.

The worst was in Concepcion where a tsunami killed a few hundred people and levelled a district or two. 

Glad to hear that you & yours are fine. 

While I dislike them for numerous reasons Valve has kept a lot of game developer spirit: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/b7yx3/mystery_achievement_added_to_portal_patch_notes/c0lescn 

That is amazing stuff, it is a real shame that more developers don't do events like this. It really gets everyone involved in the game, even if it is old. That BBS dialup number will be constantly ringing for weeks! :P 

I intented to add this link to the post but then I forgot: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=7327 

 

running the multiplayer demo is now up at:

bigfoot.quake1.net:26001

Server in Europe (Germany I think).

You must have the demo content installed to play, of course.

Fitzquake can't connect to port 26001 apparently, so you need to use a netquake engine that is online-ready. I used Darkplaces.

The multiplayer types I was testing with (peg, nitro, metch and others) have said that RMQ's multiplayer is a very promising mod. It is very well liked, which surprised us a little, not least because the release is over two months old. A patch is being worked on to fix the pile of issues that cropped up, mostly things to do with bots and voting.

Come play with us! 

fitz should be able to connect and play,

you just have to type

port 26001

and then

connect bigfoot.quake1.net
(this is written without testing)
and it should work, unless fitz is multiplayer broken :O 

Nope, that gives me port 26000 (Runequake). Unless this is a problem with Fitzsdl but not Windows fitzquake.

/shrug

If someone gets it working with Fitz, all the better - but I tried this a couple times now. 

FitzQuake 0.85 on Windows can connect via "port 26001; connect bigfoot.quake1.net".

I just tried it.

/Odd note: I noticed that the "test" and "test2" commands have been stripped out of FitzQuake 0.85 networking code. 

"connection accepted"... but nothing else ?
Is it working. What do i do ? 

FitzQuake isn't NAT-fixed and cannot connect through a hardware firewall due to the way the Quake handshake works.

NAT-fixed client list:

ProQuake
DarkPlaces
Qrack
JoeQuake
DirectQ

We've got an OSX quakespasm binary too. Should be up soon. 

I've misplaced my OS X DVDs and I couldn't compile your project file because SDL dev files weren't installed on my machine somehow (I've formatted it a few times by choice, not for any technical reasons but for testing).

As soon as I find them, I'll give it another try.

The NAT fix is quite trivial (one line of code) and isn't operating system specific in any way, so you could add to Quakespasm on a whim, fyi. 

Ah, a binary! 

Just released. JPL - not the Func one, but the lead designer of Bioshock- made a remake of his Arcadia map for Doom 2. A very nice concept map that might not work for people who haven't played the original but is definitely worth a look for those who have (and play Doom). The areas are very recognizable and even the main gameplay/story elements are there, despite all the limitations.
Interesting/realization, in my view. The author also wrote a corresponding Doom design analysis while working on this map.
