I agree, though I'm not sure what's the benefit of disabling weapons over giving them the lowest priority. It's also the kind of thing I wouldn't want to implement without an interface, which I'm still not willing to do.
By the way, I don't see why it's so important to skip the demo files. It shouldn't take that long to choose a menu option. It sounds like you're leaving a game by selecting "Quit" instead of "New Game." Choose "New Game" instead.

I think that, on that menu, Hunter selects Quit to return to the main menu, and that he expects that the main menu pointer is at New Game rather than Quit when he enters the main menu.

Yes, it would be nice.

You should add DDOS support for those servers that are unfair. Or that ban you. Also, remove password protection altogether and allow everybody with plus to join password protected servers!
And enable /crash if the player doesn't like the host, they can crash the server. Also, make it so you can join servers that you are banned from!

Best possible thing to do if you want to play a new game (and don't want to quit) is by selecting New Game from the Esc menu. You'll move to the Main menu->New Game menu immediately. Selecting Quit from the Esc menu indeed moves you to the Main menu with Quit selected.

It'd screw up survivor levels and jailbreak and pretty much any levels that involve warping into the level.
Bad idea. "oh make it an option!" No. Bad.

If there's spare bits in the warp or warp target event you could add a flag there for it, so you can set it individually for different warps.
|
Sep 1, 2009, 12:00 PM | |
What about flag-score-warps?
Could be like this: In CTF only: When player warp through a warp with setLap=1, the player's team score a point. Or make score-events? This is great for custom gamemodes that are team-based.

There probably are. If I correctly understand how JJ2 events work, virtually any event can be "expanded" in such a way, since the j2l format actually stores this information by tile. I think for events, each tile has 32 bits, with 24 of them being event parameters (the other 8 would be the event ID). Warp targets only go up to 255 (another 8 bits), so that leaves you with more than enough room to have a "telefrag" flag.

Well, there's also the Illuminate Surroundings bit, a couple bits for difficulty, and something else?, but yes, basically. Of course, considering warps already have that one lap parameter which never get used outside of race levels, I doubt you'd need to add any new bits.
|
Sep 2, 2009, 11:23 AM | |
Or just don't implement telefragging...

Hamachi. We all know it's useful. One of the guy's suggested implementing jj2+ with built in hamachi. This would work quite nicely, if it had it's own virtual network. Like basically, a + hamachi network that is connected to upon start jj2+
The only downside is that non-plus users cannot join. But it would definitely contribute to the number of abstract servers and give those who couldn't normally host incentive to go out and create levels to show off in their own servers. More servers would draw a bigger crowd. This is a really good idea! Definitely take it into consideration. It would also stop people from whining that they can't host :P

I have an idea to make a function that can this(this is only for host side):
-When you host a server and your idle or is just a dedicated server and don't want to stay with your server 24/7 must have a function that auto-rehost the server if it will be down and and choose the settings from an .ini file that contain(level, gamemode, player limit and such on..) or if someone could make a script file would be also good ![]()

*raises hand*
ahem. Readed through the last page, and listing things I like: -Hamachi: -Make a built-in hamachi "addon" that automatically seeks servers through ham if mode is local. -Warpscore: -I like. -"New" gamemodes: -Ground Force (JJM has it, it must be ported!) -Assault -JJ2 dumps on command a shortcut that stores info on current server (for hosters(me)) -Raise episode limit on menu. -Raise also level limit! -hmmm... New gamemodes? Last edited by Jgke; Sep 4, 2009 at 09:33 AM. Reason: *ked up post |

The hamachi networks can only have 14 users(i think) in one network so... That idea would be a hard one to pull off. |
Sep 4, 2009, 02:24 PM | |
You could also create, say, 5 Hamachi networks and show a list like this when they choose to host/join an Hamachi-networked server:
Code:
Network Servers Users 1 4 13 2 3 14 3 2 9 4 2 8 5 1 2 The only problem that might rise with this list is that it's pretty hard to tell how many servers are running on a network from the outside. You could leave that one out.

Asking for Hamachi to be bundled with JJ2 is pretty much unreasonable. I've said before that it would make sense for JJ2 to eventually have some form of built-in VPN capabilities, but truth be told, it doesn't make sense.
More plausible would be to have the listserver actually facilitate some of the tasks that a JJ2 game's host does. However, this wouldn't be a perfect solution by any means, and I doubt Nimrod wants that kind of strain on his network. |
Sep 5, 2009, 05:31 AM | |
Nah I can host without Hamachi

I'm not about to implement Hamachi in JJ2 just so that a few more people can host levels. I am, however, still trying to get UPnP to work which should help a lot with hosting, but I'm currently distracted with other large and somewhat unnecessary projects... Maybe I should've let Cpp handle UPnP when he was somewhat willing.
Then again, it might not be worth halting other projects just to get UPnP working through JJ2+. This looks like a good time to test something. I need people who can't host (those who want an easier way to forward JJ2 ports may be interested as well) to download this file: JJ2-UPnP-BatchFiles.zip. Extract all the files to the same folder and then run Add10052TCPandUDP.bat to forward ports. Make sure to run Remove10052TCPandUDP.bat when you're done. You may want to see what ports are already forwarded with ListForwardedPorts.bat.

It's better to have hosting and connection -problems for a handful of people than make most games laggy as hell. Hamachi is like cancer.

Well not all routers have UPnP accesibility.But it will be great if this actually would work.
Also it would be cool if jj2 will support more than 16-bit colors, HD or something ![]()

I tried the UPnP:
I did exactly what you said, but when I runned the Add10052TCPandUDP.bat it showed a message in a red bar in the dos box: Status: [048] - (UPnP Router Error) SSDP Discovery Service Failure -> Unable To Locate UPnP Router. I searched my router and only saw one little thing about UPnP where I could enable/disable UPnP (I used enable ofcourse) and allow users/internet users (or something) to use UPnP.
