Chrome Conflict Beta (OLD); Omg rlly? ya rlly.

Very lazy, such slow, wow.
FINALLY HERE!
So, while working on somethings I found out that Ill be able to publish a new version a lot earlier, if I dont add an AI. So we will get multiplayer right away, but no AI.
In addition to that, I think dumping status updates into an old thread does not make too much sense. Even if that old version did not even reach 1.0...
MOVING ON, I found out that Dropbox is a good hosting service for static content, so: here it is.
YOU NEED:

  • Java 7
  • Winrar / 7zip (any archiver that accepts .zip files)
  • Windows (you don't need it, but there is a launcher EXE)

Some basic info on how the game works now:

  • You can use the IJKL keys (configurable) to fly around, this won't stay however!
  • You can jump by pressing the W key (configurable) as long as you are standing on the ground
  • By pressing Q or E (configurable) you will switch your weapons
  • About weapons: your sentinel has 4 slots, 2 default to light pulse the others to empty (you have to change them in the config file: "data/config.cfg")
  • Damage and energy and all that is terribly not balanced because I could not use the originals yet. And I don't really want to do that either.
  • For what key codes are which keys, see below. I have tried to give everything a logical name in the config, but thats my logic :)

Key Codes for the "controls" subclass:

Yeah, you are having the same problem everyone is having, and something I should have thought of before implementing multiplayer first.
Due to budget cuts (or never having had one) you have to host a server yourself if you want to play the game. Even if you are the only one playing (which does not make sense since there are not bots). Also, localhost is what you connect to when your hosting a server locally :).
And the fact that I am still using that GUI is because I didnt know you had a new one. I am always open to new sprites.

So how do I play the game if I can't connect to a server? Don't know how to host a server myself. Is there single player or something I can use? Also, I sent you a ton of GUI stuff, so use that in the next release pls.

Bumping. Want this on front page so potential programmers new to the forum don't need to go digging or be linked to by someone else every time.

Basically: The connect buttion does function, you just have to tell it which server to connect to (the empty button, I didn't have a separate sprite for that). However, I'm sure that you saw the dialog in the beginning where you selected to run a client instance. Just launch it once more and select server that time. Then you can connect to "localhost". I should make a tutorial... I really thought it was obvious.

First start the game (click launcher.exe) twice and select "Server" on one and "Client" on the other.

Then click the button "Connect" in the new Window and enter "localhost" into the text field (which looks like an empty button)
Spoiler: click to toggle

Then click connect. If this doesn't work then you followed the instructions incorrectly.
