I say don't start over. This could seriously be awesome if you could fix the script errors and iron out the lag.

Bugger.

Win Server 2k3 formatted my hard drive, and the product key didn't work.

So back to Linux, but I'm gonna have to reinstall it as it didn't let me dual boot.

:brow:

Which means unfortunately I can't do the stress test.

Okey, here it is. It basically connects to the server and then disconnects again using sockets.
returns true or false.
replace "localhost" with the IP and 50000 with the port.

function test_server(){
	$socket = @fsockopen("localhost", 50000, $ERRORN, $ERRORS,(float)0.5);
	if($socket){@fclose($socket);return true;} else return false;
}

and if you don't want to get a static IP you could just use "dyndns" or "no-ip" with their "auto IP update program" running (not sure what it's called)

Oh, come on, guys.
We all know a project never gets finished using HK. It looks nice and all, but they all end up getting abandonend/switching to RTP in the end.

;D

We also all know that games using netplay never gets finished, and yet what is Wyatt busting his ass on?

RTP is boring, and HK allows for a lot more customization and creativity.  Go HK!

I haven't seen a single HK game since the HKCP came along, so I don't know where your stats are coming from, KRoP.

Well now, after at least four months I finally get around to posting..

Looks good, i'd suggest asking some people to attempt to hack on it in a private beta to clear up security holes for the eventual release. Thats how I was testing the original NetPlay and it seemed to work pretty well.

This may be so, also. :x

 

[zealex]

Yeah but HK takes a lot more time. You'll need all new tilesets etc etc. :x
So yeah, it'll probably never get finished that way. ><

 

[MukanshinBlack]

Then he should start recruiting for help.  He is working all alone, right?

That's what the HKCP is for.

you gave me a heart attack searching for the download link >:[

now you got me all excited for nothing :[

get that thing online, now! 

..please?

 

[Ellie]

Thanks Necrile. I was actually about to do the same this morning but never got around to it.

The Beta server is now online if anybody wants to actually play online and find out what all the fuss about the bugs was about. It's very buggy, and probably quite laggy, but you'll actually be online with other people.

Here is the download link.

Remember to make a NEW password as I can unfortunately see them.

[MukanshinBlack]

Does that mean if I go online, I won't be all alone?

 

[Ellie]

Nobody seems to be playing today.

I'm online, as I'm testing the new game.

 

[S S Muu]

could you upload it again but as a rar instead of the rmxp compressed file? (my computer always automatically deletes them for some reason, even when I create them myself)
did you even get my pm btw?

 

[MukanshinBlack]

I'm stuck in a big red room. :'(

 

[cheatking]

Oh this is going to take some time to download.
