Final MP testing

[slpwnd]

During some final testing in the office we found couple of annoying issues. These are related to having more than 2 players in the game (most often we tested in 2 players, rarely in 3). Don't worry will release anyway, but it will be VERY experimental.

P.S. We destroyed the base but then there was a desync followed by crashes =)

Oh man, it's beautiful.

The tanks are followed by construction bots? So are they like a mobile roboport for repairs?

[n9103]

Pretty sure those are just defender bots, Fish.

[FishSandwich]

So they are. :p

[Xterminator]

Oh how glorious! Those tanks are so cool looking, and hopefully powerful.
Shame about those issues mentioned but still super excited for release.

2 players is good enough. vodka bull is prepared, pizza ordered. unleash the madness!

[XyLe]

that's so OP, tanks+robots....

slpwnd, could you tell a bit more about the issues that occur with more than two players? Something one should/could avoid doing or something?

1. Avoid connecting multiple players into the game at about the same time. Sequentially it works just fine.
2. When a desync happen and players reconnect there might be multiple instances of those in the game. Check the /players command in the debug console. You can delete offline players by typing /c game.removeofflineplayer("username")
3. If things break it is often to restart the whole game

Is there a way to change your character color? I'm playing single player and wanna be green :^)

Code: Select all

/c game.player.color = {g=1}

Thanks!

Is there a list of all the valid colours available? I can only figure out the primary colours and anything else turns him black.

It is floats. So for example {r=0.7, g=0.5, b=0.1, a=0.9}

[xnmo]

Oh that explains it, I was trying values over 1

Doublethanks!

Thanks for the player color changing code!

I had the same reaction when my friend joined. "Awww, but I wanted to be blue..."

Yea, we should do some user friendly interface for choosing colors.

If we're talking UI, I'd like to see the ability to change your game's port somewhere in the options too!

Is there a way to use this command in multiplayer?

game.player returns an error of "Map doesn't contain 1 player, this function cannot be used."

Use game.players[1] or game.getplayer(1) or game.getplayer("name")

By the way, any way to change the player name, maybe permanent?
