This is purely a message of propaganda!

No, actually, people have shown an interest in playing unholy war...

Quoting Casper:
how is everyone for this coming saturday at 9:00 PM GMT (this is 3:00 PM EST for me and other americans)?

oops i meant 4:00PM EST


I don't think it works over my university network. So I wouldn't be there :( But it would be cool to know if anyone else gets/has got it to work!

It works. I played it with Woody, Ecko and Pilot. Pilot's pretty damn good by the way.

anyone else going to be available? it would nice to have some 5 or 6 player chaos going on :D I think i can host the game, as my uni has lots of bandwidth available, and no pesky firewalls in the way :)

I think I'll be avaliable anyway, I'll try and be there.

Can't we host it from the master server?

EDIT:
By the way, how many players can this game handle at once? And is there a level editor to make bigger levels. At school we have "BzFlag Thursdays" where anyone logging in at lunch has the choice to join one of the school-wide games of BzFlag.
But BzFlag kinda sucks, so If there was a bigger map/the game is able to, it would be awesome to change it to "UnHoly Wars Thursdays".

Someone has to do the initial map selection and game starting. But other than that it's peer to peer. You're each a host for you're own player/rockets etc... (so it's very open to cheating!)

At the moment it's hard coded to *about* 8 players. I could raise that number in an update sometime.

There is no editor, just the files as you can see in the maps directory. I think there is a fenix graphic size limit of 2048x2048 pixels. At least it crashed when I used pngs much bigger :(

awesome indeed :D But yeah, you might have problems.

There's no limit of graphs that I know of, but I thought PNG's did have a limit of 2048x2048 to be loaded.
And perhaps I can join this testsession as well, just poke me on IRC a while before starting.

Oh oh oh look what I found, a prg! :aharr:

Arg, not nearly enough, we normally have over 24 people in each game (with 3 games running at once). Oh well, I should make my own network game for that very purpose.

For whoever is going to make the server in half an hour: Please don't chose the map "Simply Green"! It shows no jump triangles for the host while it does for the clients, very strange.

edit: Anyone else going to play? I have a server.

Talking as if you were a bot? Hm. Well Ecko & Dan were there too. Some times it showed somebody else's name for other people. But it's over now. :)

Casper and Yonni where were you guys?

Thanks for testing all :D

I would be very interested to know what your network setups are. :) (like, direct connection/router, whether you forwarded or opened any ports...)

I have a router (which at the same time is the modem), but it's not using NAT but "Routed Subnet": all computers connected to the router have their own internet IP adress. I first had NAT but changed it to Routed Subnet because NAT caused trouble in multiplayer online games (didn't let me make a server in certain games, etc). What I have now is the same as without a router, everything is basically wide open and I can do anything.
