My short point of view on this entire topic about Meltdown:
Meltdown and Yang should work on the same servers like it was while ago.
The full duke3d.grp file should be deleted for downloads.
Meltdown should include info about Yang source.
Will be all right then?

Yes, if those where done it would be fine. Seriously though everyone should know that passing around the full duke3d.grp is a something you should never do.

When it's done there will be no need for game launchers because you will find games and host them inside of eduke32 like modern games do now.

We will be playing DNF my that time. The Eduke32 Team has a little time, but not much.

There will still be people who want to play Duke 3D after that.

I love this project and I really would love to contribute, especially to improve multilayer. My friend and I used to play netplay years ago with 2 windows 95 (or 98) machines! We recently tried to relive this with eDuke32 but ran into really frequent crashes. What I wanted to ask is, would it be beneficial for me to accurately document all these crashing scenarios? IE capture video of both client and server and document the eDuke32 logs and windows error messages that occur? I have access to test windows to windows, ubuntu to windows and ubuntu to ubuntu. Before I document it all I just wanted to know whether it would be of any use or maybe all the problems have already been identified and just need to be fixed. Please let me know, I'd love to be able to help!

PS. I'm so excited about Duke Nukem Forever! But I will still play Duke Nukem 3D for nostalgia! It has such a great feel to it!

It wouldn't help to report anything at this point because TX is still completely rewriting the multiplayer code. Anything you report would be completely irrelevant.

Yeah ok. Thanks.

Wonder if this crash log would help.

A player I know always crashed in single player allot and in multiplayer when running up the stairs usually facing it.
Generated crash log using synthesis / 20101107-1724.
I believe it crashes on the others too the newer ones.

Only he had the crash maybe related to the operating system he was using.

vista 64 bit ultimate
intel quad core Q9550
and ati radeon hd 4870 x2

The user map the crash happened to him we used one of my old beta maps that was just an edit of a k3 map - http://yang-online.c...3edukebeta3.map




This was the place it happened however in my final map I fixed the crash he was having by tidying up and making them less sectors or so on the steps.
Shown on this map that worked fine mostly for netplay tests on the new eDuke32 Prototype with reduced clipping bugs etc to njoy a netplay game with 4 players.

Now the fixed stairs looked like this






And here is the crash log he generated on his computer

http://yang-online.c...duke32.crashlog



Hope that shows something positive.

TX, are you still working on the new Multiplayer code?

[Juras]

Multiplayer code is very disappointing, it always was the weakest part of eduke port.

Yes. I have a bunch more changes relating to it to commit sometime in the near future. Bandwidth usage is lowered and stability is improved, and the beginnings of a dedicated server mode are working.

[Skulldog]

Dedicated sever! Sweeeeet said the guy on the trojans-new-vibrator-commercial.

I tried the latest synthesis build r1806 for Multiplayer. Shrink Ray has a problem when client shoots the host, you get a radical gib
of fireworks. Freeze ray raises the player you shoot off the floor a little bit. Client connects to host very well now. Sometimes the
client screen is laggy or has the earthquake shaking effect. Client player no longer dies on respawn.

Singleplayer, all the new mods crash at startup, or some point early ingame. Box with this error pops up.

An error has occurred in the EDuke32 virtual machine.

This happens with Nuclear Winter Plus, Caribbean Plus, Duke Plus, DNE. and Attrictions.

Just like to say thanks for your continued development of the multiplayer code TX, both my computers are free up again so I'll be Dukematching over lan with a friend sometime within the next 2 months. Thank god lan seems more stable than playing over internet (from past experience).

[Stabs]

yer i have 2 pcs now aswell so i can test a few things, i prolly should include 1 or 2 mp maps with DNE.

as soon as we have dedis ill host one for aus players

[TheCycoONE]

A friend and I were just attempting to play, both on 64bit windows, both with the same copy of eduke32 (March 23rd 2011 windows synthesis build).

We were playing Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition with 8bit graphics (no polymer, polymost or any mods)

We were playing e1l1.

In all cases whoever was the client would flash between two locations for the server user. (e.g. they would flash between in the air and on the ground several times per second right away, further in they would be in two completely different locations.)
In one game whenever the client was falling they were always in slow motion.
The fire in the dumpster would stop and start animating (I'm not sure why)
In co-op with monsters the game got very out of sync - this did not seem to happen in death match without monsters (except for the flashing bug above)
Joining a game in progress caused the duke to show up for the server, but the client was still at the menu.

[The Commander]

And a crash log, not sure if this contains much info.

Sorry to bump, but any more news about MP, and what can players do to help?

Is there a special alpha build to play MP atm?

[The Commander]

Nothing new...
*cough cough* Helix to the rescue?

This thread will be re-opened when multiplayer progresses further.
